Two weeks more and my term will end. Kind of fast. Yupp, and i have been enjoying my poly life so far. But more and more assignments are coming in, and common tests in two week time, really time for me to study. I want a GPA of 3.5 and above please please pretty please.

Past few weeks:

And our whole class dressed up for school today. :] Steffi, my classmate, declared that today is T03 fancy dress day. Haha.

I realised that my class number have been 3 for 5 consecutive years. 103, 203, 303, 403, 1T03. #justsaying.

Hehe, and i like my class! Crazy, fun, nice, lovely etc people in my class. Oh, and i also start to laugh to myself more nowadays. Classmates are too funny, cannnot help it when i think about them on the LONGGGGGG bus ride home. So embarrassing, because people on the bus beside me will turn and look at me.

Yay! Meeting all my secondary school friends tomorrow! SO SO SO EXCITED!

Ngee Ann Poly issue us a magazine introducing their courses yesterday. At first i was deciding between psyscholosy&community service and child psychology&early education. I had a talk with Sister yesterday, and i decided on child psychology&early education. Although i really really wished to work in those prison or rehabilitation centre…the feeling of seeing someone turning over a new leaf would be so great, especially when you are the one that help them, but mummy don’t seems to like it, so i shall go with the child psychology one, since i like children too. But i hope that i can take up courses about psychology while working, so that i can go to some prison or rehabilitation centre to work as a part-time some day. :] Wait, am i thinking too far ahead? Haha.

That was what i wrote on my blog on the 25 march 2011, which was one year plus ago. And here am i really in the course that i wanted back then. :] So cool. Haha. Oh, and i’ve decided not to apply for the scholarship. I was supposed to hand up the form today(which i didn’t in the end), and the person called me up to ask me why and told me to hand up the form on monday. Just that moment i started having second thoughts whether i should apply again. But i saw Bang’s message telling me to follow my heart. And i decided(again) that i am not applying. Thanks Bang! SARANGHAE! :]

Dilemma

I went for the scholarship interview today. Was kind of mad, because they did not even bother interviewing me, and just told me to try out for the NTUC scholarship just because a lot of people sign up for the school’s scholarship but not the donor’s one. Still considering if i should apply for the donor’s one. It’s good that i will be able to have enrichment programme during hols, which i think will benefit me. But there is a 2 year bond which i have to serve RIGHT AFTER i graduate from polytecnic. Which means if i want to go to uni, i will have to go after that.

And i think if i really work there, i would just be a normal kindergarden teacher. Not what i really wna be. I wna be a teacher/counsellor who deals with children with special needs. Or a social worker/rehabilitation officer that deals with the youths. Although they told me if i get that scholarship, i would also kind of guaranteed a scholarship to university, provided i maintain my grades, but i think i can only choose the early education field, and not social science which is what i plan for. :[

But the $$ they give is so tempting! $300-450 every month leh! Plus a notebook allowance of $1050 somemore. HOWHOWHOW?!

My first week of lessons in poly is over. Poly life was kind of what i had expected. I like what i am studying here, cause it’s related to what i am going to do in future, which do not make me have the “WHY AM I STUDYING THIS?!” thought during secondary school. But there is this one particular module which i am really afraid of: Written Communication. It’s kind of like the English lesson which we had during secondary and primary school, where we will be learning grammar, and will be having a grammar tests. We will also have to write essays and do summary. But of course it is not as simple as in primary and secondary school. Kill me please. How on earth will i be able to score well in that module? :[ SIGH.

Oh, and i just did my first presentation in class. Not a formal one though, it’s just presenting the group discussion about what professionalism is to us. My classmates are all natural presenter man, i swear. They all can speak so well, like they have practice what they said beforehand already. SO I REALLY NEED TO PRACTICE PUBLIC SPEAKING MORE, CAUSE I REALLY SUCK AT PRESENTING, ESPECIALLY THOSE WERE WE HAD TO PRESENT ON THE SPOT.

Here’s my two crazy friend which i am closer to in my class. Funny people. HEHEHE.

Esther is as huachi as me, okay, maybe her level abit higher. Haha. And the girl with specs, which is XIAO RUI~ is as cute as me. KEKEKE. And you know why we took the above photos? It is because we jealous other course people got take photo with their laptop in class while we don’t have. So we took it at Baskin-Robbins, making it look like we took it in class. HAHAHA.

Last day of holiday today, and i’m starting school. Mixed feeling about school tomorrow. I’ve had so many feelings about school throughout the whole holidays. When i got to know which course i got into, i felt really excited. Then when all my friends start school for JC, i really want school to start soon. After that, i was kind of afraid, and do not want school to start. Then after FOC, i was really hyped up for school. Now, kind of excited, yet nervous at the same time. It’s negative kind of nervous, if you are wondering.

5 months of holiday is over, just like that. Okay, i cannot say that my holidays were spent to the fullest, but at least i do not feel that i have wasted my holiday. The first months of holiday wwas just enjoying, playing, and lepaking at home. Started working after that.

First job of my life: Surveyor. Pay is good, but it’s a shitty job. And the company delays our pay like forever. I ended the job in Jan, and now i haven’t got my 1k pay, how bad are they.

Second job: Ware house sales at League. I was a price tagger, packer, promoter and cashier at the same time. Nice people, nice working enviroment, altough the people there are alot older than me. Learn alot there, nice experience overall.

Third job: Packer and 1 hour of promoter at Cole Haan for one day. Stressful job. The people there are so experience. And not exactly friendly. So lucky i only agreed to work for one day.

Last job: Sales promoter at taka square. Most fun job out of the four. Because the people working there are all youngster like me. And they are super fun. Laugh and talk while working, haha. *gathergathergather. Keke. Teasing about eyecandies and stuff. Managers there were nice too, treating us KOI, bringing brownies for us. And the manager taught me alot too. It was my last day with them yesterday. Hope i will be able to work together again. :]

Someone please tell me i’m not starting school tomorrow.

FRESHMEN ORIENTATION CAMP; AVATAR

TRITON WALKING IN THE FOC. WE DON’T GIVE A ____ ABOUT ANYBODY.

One of my favourite Triton cheer. Cool eh? Haha. Yes, as promise, i am blogging about it now. But photos very limited, cause i couldn’t find alot of it, so just imagine as i describe. :]

Day1:
ShiYun, Desmond and i got seperated into different groups, and yes, we didn’t meet after that. So there isn’t going to be any of them in this post anymore. AWWWW. Was really awkward when i was in my group, cause i know none of them. First game: Mass ice-breaker scissors paper stone. FUN! And that’s how i got to know Vanessa, which i stick to like super glue for the rest of the camp. After that we got moved into our different sub group, which i’m really lucky to have Vanessa with me. Our group is called TRILA (TRY lA). Played ice breaker again.

The next activity was really interesting. We had to blindfold ourselves, without knowing what is it for. Oh ya, for this camp, we literally don’t know what’s going to happen next until it happen. So yeah, i like the suspense too. Okay, continue. We were each lead by the GLs to some corner and had to talk to a patner blindfolded. I had to lie on the stomach of my first patner, which makes my neck ache, because i don’t dare to lie completely on him. So they changed my patner, which i only had to hold his hand while talking. The talk was awkward at first, but it got better afterwards. After talking for 30min, we were required to take out our blindfold, and i bet everyone must be thinking “AHH, so he/she looks like this.” Haha. And the next thing we know, the person which we have been talking to will be our dance patner for the mass dance.

Learning of mass dance after that. Cool dance, but it was too difficult for a dance idiot like me. Haha. Fast forward to night activity.

Night activity for day 1 was team building game. Untangled, build the tallest tower, build some structure with the egg inside and not let the egg crack when it is drop from level 2, and some straw game.


Then we moved on to the second part of night activity. First part was boring shit, cause the only thing we did was watch movie. Some of them got grab out afterwards. But i was the unlucky one that got grab out only after 2 movies. The night walk was hell to me. It was like some haunted house, and i was literally screaming my whole way. I pity the other five that was with me. Haha. Nights out at 5am.

Day2:
Woke up at 7, so i only slept for like 2hours. They told us to report in the clothes that we need to throw away, so we knew the next activity must be nothing good. The first game we played, all of our face kena blue paint and floor like some face masks. Haha, I thought i would be disgusted by it, but i didn’t. I found it funny somemore. Haha. The next game, we had to eat some raw vegetable. They ask me what was my favourite colour, somehow i said blue instead of red. Which saves me, haha. Cause for blue, i only had to eat eggplant, but for red, i had to eat chilly. SO HENG AH! Next game was disgusting for me. They poured floor, detegent and our groupmate will use planta(Butter) to style our hair. People were saying we use planta as our hair contitioner. Haha. Though it was abit disgusting, but still fun uh. QiWei was the brave one, he volunteered to have egg, floor and butter poured into his underwear in order to get 2 marbles, which was important at the last day according to them. Next game, we had more food on my body. I had soysauce and ketchup on my hand, while some of them had them poured from the head.

I’m really impressed with myself for the next game. Cause we had to put our hands into mealworms and flour to dig for marbles. I thought i would never ever dare to do that in a million year, but somehow i did it! Some of our GL had to eat the worms in order to get more marbles, poor them!

End of dirty game. We went to wash the area near our mouth and ate with out dirty clothes and body. Haha. So this is how we look like after washing. Imagine without washing, we all really look like avatar. Haha.

Night activity for day 2 was also team building game. Ran around the school for different activity.

Lights out at 2am.

Day3:
Woke up at 8 plus, so kind of had enough sleep. Water activity for the day. Didn’t really wna play at first, cause i was having the time of the month. So i was avoiding the water the whole time. But it was like impossible not to get wet when the crew were happily pouring buckets after buckets of water at us, so i also heck care and just play lah!

HuiMin and Emily.

Camp finale after that, cheer cheer cheer, laugh laugh laugh, scream scream scream. GLs skit. Power cheer. That’s about it. Haha. After that was hopnight(?) They wanted to give us the experience of clubbing, so they had this hall where they blast music, and i mean really blast, cause we had to shout into each other ear to talk. And then had the lighting effect, and a DJ to play the music. Everyone was dancing with each other, forming different circles to have dance battle. But for dance idiot like me, i just jump and swayed around, moving to different circles to watch the dance battle. Haha.

Alot of us didn’t sleep for the last night, cause if we sleep, we would be like this for the next day. Haha.

So spent our night talking and playing games. We were all like half dead around 5plus, so just didn’t care about the drawing on us part and lie on the stadium track to sleep. I never knew the stadium track would be so comfortable. Haha. Luckily we didn’t have any drawings on us, cause i think too many people were sleeping on the track so they were also lazy to draw on everyone.

Day4:
Mac for breakfast! And next was the emotional part. We went to the lecture theater and they showed us the video and played some really emotional song. All the GLs, crews, camp comm and DH were hugging and crying on stage, which makes the freshies cried too. We can really feel how much effort they put into this camp. I didn’t expect so many guys to cry too. So i really wna say thank you to all the people who made FOC so awesome.

Went back to the stadium and camwhore! Haha.

Whole of TRITON!

My beloved subgroup TRILA!

Look at Benedict. Haha. Failed photobomb.

Sean and my GL: Irfan!

Every guy favourite Joyce. Haha, she’s really nice. :] Oh yes, she is my GL too.

Farys and i don’t know what’s her name. Haha, she’s not in my group, but she is super friendly, keeps saying hi to me.

My dance patner JianHong and my GL Darren. He is a BBoy okay!

Adam WHYSOGAY and alot of girls eyecandy Kevin. Nope, i’m not one of them. Haha. I didn’t manage to take picture with my eyecandy though. He is a super cool guy, but too bad, no photo. :[

I really really really enjoyed myself  during the 4days 3nights. Made really cool friends and learn some stuff. Faced my fear of haunted house and worms, though frankly speaking, i will still scream if a worm is crawling on me. Haha. The GLs were great, awesome, and really really nice. I really wna thank the people, Camp comm, crew, GLs, DH for making this camp such a great experience for us. This definitely is the most unforgettable camp that i have attended. Really thanks a million. And i love TRILA! Haha, thanks groupmates and GL Irfan, Darren and Joyce for making this camp so fun for me.  I love you guys! :]

Oh ya, i forgot to mention, in the end the marbles were nothing. They were only there to motivate us to try out things. Haha. I think i’ve got the Trila spirit after this camp: Eh serious, TRY LAH!

Went back to xinmin today. Really miss the school. LeiYuen and i went to the canteen intending to get some food, cause today is the legendary FRIED FOOD WEDNESDAY. Haha. And while waiting for the auntie, Mr Goh came to us asking if we want some free rice. He told us the school is giving out plain rice with sweet potato for the student during recess to commemorate Total Defence Day. And the students were not allowed to buy any other stuff during recess.

Guess how’s the response from the student? They rather go hungry than to eat the plain rice with sweet potato given to them. Yes, they were not given expected to buy it, just simply go to the stall and get the rice. There were like almost 4/5 full of rice left over in rice container that was 40cm tall. This shows how spoilt our generation is. :[

Friends forever

Thursday and Friday was meet up time with secondary school friends. Thursday was spent with friends doing the shitty survey thingy. We went to submit our surveys, in which all of us couldn’t hit the target. Haha. But thank god Kuamr was nice enough to let us submit even though we were shot of like 10+ each. AND FINALLY I HAVE GOTTEN MYSELF FREE FROM THE SURVEY THING! :]

Hear Simone and Berlin complain about how JC sucks. Haha, relieve that i didn’t go there under peer pressure. ZhiYong is the only one enjoying JC life, cause he said there are alot of pretty girls there. Ryan was all quiet the whole time, maybe he was too tired. Hope to meet up with you guys again, remember ZhiYong still have 100plus left over. Youknowiknow. :]

Friday was spent with the girls of 403! AWESOME PEOPLE. :] Meet up with the NYJC-ians for lunch at pasta mania. Listen to them share about their class, OG and life there. Seems like the people in NYJC are much more relax then the others. So i strongly recommend NYJC if you are aiming for JC. Haha. Germaine came, and we took group photo before the NYJC-ians have to go back for lessons.

 

Denys came after her work at pathlight.
Fastforward>>>

Lesson ended for the NYJC-ians, and we went to buy tickets for Romancing in Thin Air. Took another group photo before JiaYing left.

Haeded to skypark to chitchat while waiting for JieLing. Learn their OG cheers from them. AWW, i wna cheer! :[ LAUGHCHEERTALKGAMES. :]





No, it’s not technical error. Look at the one in pink and you will realise the pictures are not the same. Haha. Said goodbye to Alina and Vivien, and went to watch the movie. Not very nice, the starting was TOOOOO draggy. The ending was touching though.

Bought our dinner and went up to skypark to eat.

 

  

 

  

I made a promise to myself that i would keep these friendships going forever.

乾杯

To all my beloved friends out there.

让我和你们再乾一杯, 再乾一杯永遠。
