Week at Saint Andrew's

Amazingly, without posting for about 2 weeks, my blog isnt that dead. Thanks people for showing so much 'moral support' by tagging. Ok quite a lot of things happened in the past week or so.

Strolled into Saint Andrew's Junior College on the 20th of Febuary 2008 for the first time. Was totally lost and didnt know where to go since i entered through the gate at the kindergarten. SA Village comprises of Acension Kindergarten, St. Andrew's Junior School, St. Andrew's Secondary and St. Andrew's Junior College. Obviously, those who visit the village for the first time will definitely get lost. Followed the crowd and received a few calls from Samuel, Shawn and Ying Lun. Eventually found my way to the Cultural Centre for assembly. Orientation started and many didnt have the mood. The OGLs werent good at getting us to socialise and interact. My OGL was Zhi Yang who was previously from SJI as well. Even though i ve never heard of him before at SJI, he appears to be quite a big shot at SA. House captain of Gomes i think.

Anyway, had some familiar faces in my OG. Jun Jia, Hilmi and Hao Yi. And a PAE CJ PLMGS girl who coincidentally happen to be Jeremy's classmate. Ok that s quite a long abbreviation. I think her name s Mei Ya. Could hardly even remember more than 8 people in the group, that shows what a failure SA orientation 2 is. Had some icebreaking and captain s ball before everyone start to pon. There was the Saintsational Race which was just plain walking around to do some activities. Then it was the 'Finale' which was just presenting prizes to the best OGs and suppose to do mass dance. The song suddenly played and they expected everyone to jump up, find a partner immediately and dance. Obviously only some people danced while the rest stood around and watch. Couldnt even remember the steps that we just learnt earlier. The mentors or something came in and had a band performance that includes some unknown songs and some known songs like Chasing Cars. The only interesting thing about the Finale was 3 plastic beach balls that was thrown around in the crowd. Everyone were eagerly waiting to kick, hit and smash the ball as far as possible. Everything ended at 6 plus. Went home, sleep.

The next few days were basically the same. Just lectures after lectures in the CC and attempts to not fall asleep. Couldnt catch up since i lost touch with a lot of the things due to the transition. So in the end was wasting time for about 2 weeks in school. Then the time came to choose subject combinations. Shawn, Ying Lun and Yew Tong all wanted to take 4H2s. And when i consulted my father, he said might as well take 4H2s since there s better chance to get a scholarship. So in the end i took 4H2s comprising of Bio, Chem, Maths and Econs. Was posted to 08S19 and there i made some new friends. ok i ll try to recall their names.

Double checked with the contact list and was realised something s wrong. There s suppose to be 22 people in the class but there s only 21 people in the list. Hmm, have to check it out. oh ya, not to forget to mention, my class tutor, Ms Ye. Tall female bio teacher. Think she can be quite fierce and times. Better be wary. But otherwise, she s ok to communicate with. Had the class committee election and was saboed to be the Welfare person who s in charge of all the birthday things, outings, etc. In short, the fun person. Do i look fun to you??

Oh well, will try to do the job well since i ve experience in organising countless events.

Had a soccer session with the usual peeps at CCAB the recent Wed. It was considered a failure since the netabll peeps from St Margaret s and Cedar stole the courts and we had to go to the basketball court to play. It was SA vs the rest and it was quite a fair match. Took a break and everyone started leaving. In the end only a few of us stayed behind to continue kicking. Played basketball with a soccer ball and a 4 v 3 that was quite fun. Was quite satisfied with my solo goal, proving i do have some skills after all. But there s more room for improvement though.

Thursday was pretty boring. But Friday was good. There was hardly and lessons and even if there is, i was busy doing Sudoko. Visited the soccer court near Potong Pasir CC and played against some SAS peeps. Played average. Went back for Bio and continued playing at the track for awhile before returning to the court and back to SAS since the court was too crowded. In the end, played with the Acension Church people at the SAS basket ball court. It was really a fun affair. Played well. Just love the spirit of my team mates encouraging each other, particularly Zheng Qing, Kenneth and Eugene. Hope to be able to play with them again. I just enjoy practising heading! Heading and skills improving! Just as what i wished for. Fitness can be way better. Should start running regularly since Shawn encourage me to join track with him. Let s see how everything goes huh.

Had some badminton at the windy court yesterday with sis. She just won the dunno what competition. Came in First in the Girls Doubles catergory. not bad at all. Better play more if not will keep losing to her in future, si bei pai seh.

Went to Swissotel today for lunch since there s still the vouchers.

Food was pretty good. Took plenty of appetizer and even desert before hand coz we were late and they were clearing everything soon. Soup was very good. Cream of Celery. Wonder what they put in besides cream and cerelery to make it taste so good.

Some random picture found in my phone. Timetable for next week.

Haha. An even MORE RANDOM picture, and YES, his picture is also in my phone. Thanks to the MMS sent by Singtel.

If you have any info regarding the whereabouts of this man, kindly dial 999. (As if any literate Singaporean doesnt know. :D)

Signing off for now!
