Orientation has come to an end!

Orientation lasted for more than a week with VJ Spearca Orientation 2010 and also orientation with our own class. I was in Eorix and my sub OG was Eozone or E2.

We had plentiful much of fun games and I really liked the emcees for the whole of orientation because they were so not boring. We had to learn VJ mass dances from the Madics and I officially hate "I Want You" even though there's some sort of claps and chanting involved before we start the dance and that was really cool and catchy. I felt dumb and dumber the whole time even though my OGLs were teaching me how to. Rayna and I were totally stumped by the moves and just laughing while trying to fake the moves a bit here and there. But I like Tribal Dance and La Bamba! :)

The Red Shirts taught many of the tradition VJ school cheer and it was fun. I am finally starting to get the hang of it so yay! And I loved the way that there's the whole storyline behind VJ Spearca and the videos that were played in various stages of our orientation to signify the process of the entire story about protecting Victoria land! One of those days were played massive Cluedo around the school and at one point I thought that the clues were really mystical but it totally didn't make any sense to me. The rest of the days we also had games and all, but a lot of time was also spent together with our own OG. Though we started out awkward and it was kinda weird all throughout the whole orientation because we were not like.. super enthusiastic, I still like the people in my group :) We played all the "mind games" that our OGLs learnt from their own orientation when they were in J1 and they provided some laughter to ease the atmosphere. Speaking of my OGLs, they are really 4 really really nice seniors and it makes me feel so happy to know that I have caring seniors like Sze Chi Brandon Xin Kai and Samantha :)

Eorix was not the surviving hero (or winning group of Orientation) that saved Victoria land from harm, but we had OG dinners for everyday straight during the period of orientation and that was really unexpected in a good way :D The OG dinners were unexpectedly enjoyable in some ways though it was just me and Jialing as the only girls on the first dinner and it was kinda scary, but yesterday OG dinner was fun with the rest of those in our group that I didn't really communicate a lot with like Julian Andy and John. We bought cards for our OGLs and we all wrote messages for them! Haha but I think Xin kai will be kinda annoyed with our messages :P

My principal is rather chummy and nice and so I like! :D I am in class 10S3C where half of the people are taking BCME and the rest PCME. The people in my class are generally friendly and kind people and some even really a funny bunch! :) We had Outdoor Rumble the other day and it was mad running and walking around the whole area of East Coast Road, I think. We went to ECP, somewhere in Marine Terrace, somewhere near St Pats and blah blah which I forgot where! That was the day that I started getting sunburns from the blazing sun and plus yesterday, Sea Sports Carnival in ECP where we were practically toasted again, by the morning sun. Tug of war was really such a pity though ):

I decided not to go for OG lunch but went to find Jialing and her friend Peishan, plus Rayna and we stoned and chatted in the school's tree house before making it down to Suntec City and met the rest to get ready for Massive Mass Dance near the Fountain of Wealth. It was such a crazy night with all the "human trains". I can't remember what trains I joined but what I do know is that I did a whole bunch of Eorix cheers repeatedly to my heart's content with the rest of the faithful Eorix people <3 We took photos together and even chanted "FULL DAY, FULL DAY!!!!" repeatedly to Principal, Mr Chan :D I paired up with Andy for Friendship Dance and I think he doesn't mind my clumsiness during the dance :P By the end of everything, I was soaked with perspiration.

Orientation was enjoyable and I can't imagine what will happen when school starts. And the CCA thing is annoying the hell out of me. And I must must must master the art of sleeping for at least one hour of my everyday bus ride to and fro school, without getting waked up by the bumpy bus ride ):

Monday will be start of lessons.

Which spells panic

Monday, I might have done the stupidest thing at early dawn: shall not say what or Imight snubbed for it again. Well anyways, I was glad to have mom with me :)

I met Sally after that and went down to Mavis Sengkang branch. Left our Thank You cards for Mr Ng with the staff (Mr Ng was not at his office yet because we were too early) and went off to Mavis Kovan to wait for Ms Chee. We practically sat in the office for half an hour or more chatting with each other and the staff there before going off to have lunch before going back to the office and finally seeing Ms Chee, left our cards with her and went off to Bugis area-

To do stuff that I thought I'd have to do by myself for the rest of my life because nobody else likes what I like doing. But boy oh boy, I should have known that Sally would have appreciated that.. (: Sally went off to work while I tried to figure my way to Haji Lane.

Surprise surprise surprise I was wayyy off track and about to get myself even more lost when I met Afham. He directed me to the right route ;) Haji Lane feels really abandoned.. And despite having some designs that caught my eye, the clothes simply don't have sizes beside S or XS? IDK. But it was frustrating and eerie and nice at the same time, to walk down that lane. I didn't have time to walk down Arab Street, which is the next street.. But maybe next time (:

Thursday, I met Huiyi and Jean Yee for lunch at "Say Cheeze", Tampines 1! (:

Why the hell. Sloan's "daughter" shows up and tells Sloan he's gonna be Gramps and stupid McSteamy has to let everything get to his head and invited his "daughter" to stay with him and Lexie. I'm not even sure if Sloan's "daughter" is actually a real one or just the daughter of one of his old one-night stands who's decided that she's gonna get lucky with Sloan as the grandpa of her accidental child. And its real dumb because Lexie's so young and not ready to be a stepmom sorta, and so they break up. Its seriously damn WTF, I love

Lexie and Mark!!!! Although the age gap is kinda big. But heck, they're cute together.

Saturday: So today's the last day of work at Cotton On and I seriously think that this is a wonderful and memorable chapter of my life. Somethings to learn plus package of crap to deal with, especially with customers and when its all busy and hectic.

Some funniest and WTF people that have accumulated on my list includes:

-Pouts at me when I said that its the last piece for that item
-A guy came out of the fitting room looking as though he was ready to pass out because the pants he tried on were too tight and almost killed him
-Tall Caucasian almost rammed down the curtains for the changing cubicle because he was too tall and didn't know how to pull the curtains to one side to get out
-Asking if the 50% applies to an item that is already with an orange price tag, at $10
-Questioning me blatantly and don't believe that the last "room" (changing room) is actually leading to the store room where all the stocks and held
-Tsk me because I brushed against them
-Bringing popcorn box full of popcorn into changing room
-Bringing Yami Yoghurt into the changing room?! Multi-tasking between eating the yoghurt and trying on the clothes?!
-While I'm busy hanging the clothes back, the naughty boyfriend/girlfriend decides to sneak into the changing room despite me being there to remind that ONE PERSON PER CHANGING ROOM
-Auntie asked me 3 or 4 times how I did for my O levels, either trying to force me to say my score somehow or its STM.


I will miss the staff! They are bunch of nice and friendly people!

Wednesday: For tomorrow, I wish that I can nua at home to recuperate my sore feet and tired legs from all that walking around today.

In fact, I wish that I can nua at home until I am done with the JAE exercise which is making me into a cranky and bitchy person. All the problems and self doubt that I have for myself? Rolling in one big snow ball and rolling and rolling downhill.

Saturday(today):

All right so its the end of the JAE exercise and after thinking so hard about what I aspire to be in the future, the conclusion is that I still have no clue, and the science stream is simply the safest route to be taken. That will mean that I will be forsaking my dreams of taking up History in JC. Much too infested with horrific thoughts about how I will suffer in the future if I take up art subjects and also paying attention to Ruth's advice, I've succumbed and chosen VJC as my first choice. Followed by other JCs, but seriously, I will feel kinda hurt if VJC rejects me.

I was crying the other day because I was so bloody confused about the subjects that I was going to take and everything's kinda blank for me in that sense that I don't have a friggin idea about my dreams, and I was trying so hard to explain to my parents what's going on right now that's making me so irrational-looking and emotionally unstable.. I wasn't even able to get things figured out until Ruth gave some advice that enlightened me a lot (:

I'm not afraid to admit this but, seriously, this kinda applies to me. I've pictured myself bringing up my kids and how I will spend time with my kids rather than dreaming about being one of those doctors in Grey's Anatomy (minus the sex and the competition and scrambling around with operating tools and equipments), or learning how to use the spanner and hammer and know the nails of those different nuts and bolts, and maybe not even thinking about being the next Albert Einstein or performer/singer/actor/model. I don't dream about capturing beautiful photographs all over the world with a single camera and backpack. I don't think about being the next most successful politician or next JK Rowling.. Get the picture???

And.. I seriously have no way to stop this vicious cycle. Before you people judge us based on what we've done, you people probably haven't tried to think about what we had to deal with when we had to get things done. Circumstances were different, and the ugly truth is going to be harder to deal with.

You people, have no idea.
