When being over-the-top-high isn't considered mental.

1st day of school.Another red camp experience.If not similar.Sequence of events for orientation at AC:
Took train all the way to buona vista with Wenya, Keean, Kuai wen, See hwee, Hsieh hui and Lilian. Along the way, saw Kang wei, Yao Hong, Chee Choong, Wen Xuan, Ze Qin, Hong han, Evelyn and a lot of other nanhua peeps as well.
Gate to school was flooded and there were both, human and traffic jams. Went in and guess what? J2 councillors lined up along both sides of the entire path leading all the way to the hall. IT WAS IDENTICAL TO WALKING UP A RED CARPET, JUST THAT THIS WAS A LOUD CARPET. Imagine people screaming, 'WELCOME TO ACJ!' all the way. LOL.
Definitely a very very very warm welcome.
Entered hall, squeezed through everybody and finally managed to grab seats with fellow nanhuarians. Assembly ensued, their pledge taking and singing of national anthem WAS interesting, for once. It was done by choir members.Introduction of the school staff...they were all seated on stage. (x0x)...Could see how much they looked forward to seeing us..
Then came the long, lengthy, wordy talks.First was announcements, (the students randomly came up on stage to advertise their fun-o-rama items and they even had a presentation.)Secondly, the principal's address, the vice-principal's address, the level head's address and then discipline talk.
Here was a warning i would remember forever.
'The door to the hall closes at exactly 7.25(6) a.m. If you're late, you're trapped outside.'
And you get demerit points.
Defiance and rudeness towards teachers? 3 demerit points. Holy.
No highlighting of hair, okay. This i knew long ago, so there goes my highlights on saturday.
No short skirts. This i knew too, but to be exact, its 2CM ABOVE THE KNEE.And if you don't make the cut, you've to get a new one on the spot. -_-
How rich the school is, man.
Anws, the usual orientation activities.
Clans, sub-clans, cheering, mass dancing, bonding, zi-high-ing, making new friends, getting to know the campus, the ogls, water bomb games, getting wet, sticky and dirty under the hot sun.
I hope tomorrow would be less.....hyperactive. All the shouting and 'pack it in' is killing me. My ears are dying and i'm going deaf if this continues. i seriously doubt i would everrrr survive OC. I MEAN, IT OFFICIALLY ENDS NEXT FRIDAY. HOW AMAZING.
What else i couldn't stand was their preaching and praying!i mean, okay, when they started to pray, everybody simultaneously looked downwards with their eyes closed and then they started with the 'Our father...god...amen.' I'm not trying to be offensive or anything but i felt like the entire praying session was a dance.
When they started to pray, they danced with their waists bent forward, while i was left standing, scratching my head and blinking my eyes. (This here, i mean, i'm a free thinker. You can't force me into believing in
your holy god.)
What i was interested in was my subject combi!
Yet, i only managed to give some thought to it only after everything, meaning to say at the end of the first day of school.
That was when i rushed to register for ELEP and Art proficiency test.Had considered applying for the KI test, though...
Horror#1: Kangwei said the KI lecturer told him this. KI Questions include: 'Why do people ask questions?', 'Why is the sky blue?', 'Why is the tree green?'
These kinda questions, for crapping out a 1000-1200 essay, was possible. But, the fact that there was some kind of research you had to pick a topic for which lasts through a duration of 6 months, that's impossible.Horror#2: KI test crashed with ELEP test, and the makeup for KI test crashed with Art test.
This just goes to show that nobody ever thought of taking elep, ki and art as their subject combinations.Hope the introductory lectures will give me some answers.
Well, wish me luck for ELEP tmr!
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the candy empire.
Hello. My name is liying, without any spacing in between.
I'm obviously a girl, if it isn't obvious enough.
I also have this super, uber, long name which says
Any one will do, its your choice.
My awesomeness can't be contained in such a teeny-weeny box because i'm sensational.
Yes, I'm loved, bayy-beh. I blog about everything under the sun and anything that's the past, present and the future. My profile page is non-existent, because its not long enough.
