okay i know i forgot to thank my soccer khakis and BB frens for 2007, so here goes, thank you! LOL. sorry for the brief thankfulness!
okay ytd was the first day of school, my dad fetched me to school as usual cos its on the way to his school. i reached school ard 6.35, guess what time we are supposed to assemble? 7.30! LOL. so i just sat there and enjoyed the view and immersed myself in a sea of emotions that included, what the heck am i doing here so early? and wow, im already here after 4 years... well, it wasnt long before zijian called me to ask me where i was, and even quicker for zijian to find me and we just sat down and chilled out. Talking about fairfield and stuff.
THEN, i saw ruixiang, omg, cant believe i saw rx, my p6 classmate, i was like, huh! u got in?? u bribed the school! Lol. just kidding, looks like rx actually studied! haha amazing, hahahaha... okay then afterwards i also saw jemtan and junsiew, so its kinda cool.
Jenisse and charisse arrived shortly afterward and we said hi then jen went to join the 4E girls, she's okay with them cos so many from GB. so zijian and i went back to sit down and emo. lol. then 7.25 we started to make our way to the hall. The last time i went to acjc was during the openhouse and the hall was used for the cca exhibition booths, i was thinking, thats a damn small hall man, like 3/4 of fairfield and i already thought fairfield's was damn small. but when i entered this hall this time, i got a shock of my life, its SO HUMONGOUS. they opened up the slides separating the hall and the lecture theatre so when its both joined together, its just huge huge huge man. so then we had talks and stuff and all that, not interesting enough to talk about, so i'm gonna skip it all. though the discipline talk was quite funny, mr lim, the dm, is really quite hilarious, giving the "let the light pass thru between you and your friend", "give ur fren personal space" talk. lol it was quite funny.
then we had a 40 min break. i was like...huh wad the? give afew talks then have 40 min break, lol so retarded, i thought we wld play games or sth.so we just went down and rested, did nth really, just going around making frens and saying hi or being said hi to by ppl i already knew like the J2s or secondary school frens from other schools. it was quite cool.
after that we were separated into guys guys and girls girls for separate talks with mr lim giving the guys a talk he titled, "THE talk". he gave a whole talk about rules and regulations for guys and stuff like that. then there was question and answer session and this dumb idiot rose his hand and tried to be funny and asked "where do babies come from?" lol what an idiot. he was wearing barker uniform with the prefect badge, shirt tucked out, and mr lim was damn quiet. he stared at the guy awhile, then spoke into the mic and said in a firm scary quiet voice, asking the guy to come out and stand in front of him, then the guy came out like some gangster, and mr lim said "tuck in your shirt, then repeat ur question in front of everyone here, into the mic" he was already raising his voice. lol that was so funny. then the guy did that, and everyone was laughing, then mr lim rose his voice and scolded him, saying he wld forward the question to barker school and said he sympathized with barker students for having such a prefect, then he asked the guy to stand at the side and dismissed everyone esle. when everyone was leaving, the guy sneaked out with the rest. and mr lim shouted "barker boys better go get him, if i cant get him, i will make all the barker boys line up one row outside the office" lol it turns out the head prefect of barker came to ac so he went to find the guy, u noe cos he has obligation to protect his school's image. later on, mr lim announced that the guy was actually a gatecrasher wearing the barker uniform and wearing a prefect badge that did not belong to him. so he was not posted to ac, he was not from barker, and he wasnt a prefect. wow. role model gatecrasher!
okay for the rest of the day, we just played games, learnt the cheers and stuff quite boring and i've forgotten alot of what has happened anyway since im only writing this today.
so so, on to the 2nd day. today was the 2nd day of orientation, to be honest, i find jc life quite boring now, i mean if THIS was supposed to be their version of fun, then, i cant imagine whats boring. Okay maybe its not the jc, maybe its just the J1s, they're just omg-ly omgish boring. they're like wooden planks la!ALL DEAD! so today, we had alot of talks in the morning, like 2 hours at one shot about acjc, subjects, ccas and stuff all at one go in the morning, and everyone was getting restless and tired, THANK God i went early with zijian to sit at the side, so i was not squeezed to death like i previously was. then after that we had lunch, i tell you, acjc's chicken rice is just imba quality, its probably one of the only good things i find about this orientation, the food is shiok, one plate of chicken rice is 2.20, then add rice is like 20 cents so my first place was that, 2.40, it was so shiok, i whacked the chiilli they provided, and its like BURNING HOT, Tssssssssssss! shiok man, then not enough i went to buy another plate, but this time i never add rice, i add eggs, so its 2.70, WAH SHIOK AH! Excellent excellent food man, because of the food, and THE FOOD ONLY, i shall contemplate staying in AC. you noe seriously, im totally entertaining the thought of applying for poly with my O level results when i get it cos this doesnt really seem like my kinda thing. I'm being enthu like mad, actively participating in everything, things that ppl dun wanna be first in, i'll do it, like the one where u have to whack ur face into the flour and get the polo sweets and all that, but nobody seems to care anyway, it gets sian after awhile, get what im saying? lol SERES-LY (thats a pun, one of the OGs is called Seres).
After lunch, we continued to learn the mass dance and stuff, quite fun la the dance, but too many steps liao, get confused after awhile! lol, then we played lotsa dirty games, like sliding ur ass across a bench with water and soap to play scissors paper stone, or wearing a greyish dirty socks, a drenched pe shirt, and stuff like that, or dunking urself in those pools(u noe those types can buy from supermarket one, then inflate it and fill it, its for ppl to use at home, for their little toddlers and stuff), and squeezing out as much water as you can. i was so trying to have fun, like being sporting and spontaneous and screaming my hearts out and cheering like mad for the cheers and even during the games, but when its not noticed, after awhile you just start to become sian and by the end of the day, i was already response-less, lol no such word tho i think.
Then i walked from acjc to bouna vista mrt to take mrt home, and i was thinking, somehow, i felt as if God was talking to me, he was like saying "be urself, be natural, most importantly, have fun, thats what i want you to do now". All along, i kept thinking, im gonna be extremely enthu and stuff, if there is a best orientation-ee, lol no such word either, i'll definitely get it,DEFINITELY, and i was thinking, these 2 years im gonna be damn hardcore, im gonna study my life away, im gonna serve in church ministry till i drop dead, i'm gonna train in my cca like siao, possibly if i can, become soccer captain and stuff, like, just go ALL OUT, and dun hold back, go to the stage where im so busy, i dun have a second to breathe, like every second is meaningful, and these 2 years totally count, possibly even run for student council, noe what i mean? those were the things on my mind, but when u become obsessed with ur goals and ambitions, u forget who's driving the car. My devotion last night was to surrender my life to God, is it really that hard to do it? or do i simply NOT want to do it? Theres an analogy that goes like this, im a human walking at the edge of a cliff at the side of a mountain, life is always walking on the edge of the cliff, u never know where ur gonna go, u can climb even higher, using ur own effort, ur own strength, ur dream is to reach the top of the mountain. But God is an EXTREMELY strong wind, strong enough to blow you forever and make sure u never hit the ground, but this wind is special and unique, u will NEVER be blown away unless u jump of the cliff. Are u willing to let God take control and take charge and let him perhaps blow you to the mountain peak of a mountain possibly even higher than the one you already are on? or wld u rather climb to the peak of THIS mountain urself? theoretically, the answer is obviously the former, but why is it so hard to do in reality?
help me God, to lay everything, EVERYTHING, i have at ur feet.
