I looked forward to the badminton trail and even felt optimistic abt the chance of getting in.

But things did not turn out well. =(

Me, Pricilla and her friend, went for the trail today.

Firstly the trail was pushed back from 3p.m. to 4p.m. But later, we were told tt it will be pushed back to 5p.m. because of P.E. going on.

Then we found out the badminton trail is one on one. A senior to a potential junior.
The whole trail looked simple enough. However I was very nervous and its being a long time since I had actually touched a badminton racket. I turned pessimistic abt the whole trail.

I did worse than I thought. I could not even return a shot properly at all. It was so embarrassing. Haiz. If I know tt I wld do tt badly, I wld not have went for it. And feel so bad at the end of the day. =(

8:43 PM

Today the very nice principal allowed ppl who wanted to visit poly open house to go off earlier. The few of us, tt is me, Joanna, Zhu Mei, Hui Ting, YS and her friend, decided to go NP.

I was looking forward to it though I had been there b4 last yr.
At the bus stop outside sch, the few of us got separated. YS, and her two friends went there by bus. The rest of us went to CCK to take MRT. We got off at BB as Zhu Mei said there are buses there in the interchange to NP. But tt was wrong. Hence we went to the outside bus-stop to take bus. Also dun have the bus ZM said. So we took 157 after calling a few ppl.

Then when we spot NP, HT said the bus will turn around later n we will be at the other side, but ended up tt was wrong too. Haiz. So we got off the bus at Adam Road and when opp. to take 157 back to the sch. Joanna and HT got off the bus to wait for Roslyn. So ZM and me went to NP first.

We got into NP from the front door and Joanna and gang got in from back door. So we cannot find each other until much later.

Everything was quite a mess and we were very tired. We went into the Convention Centre to take the booklets on the faculties. I asked a uncle, whom I tink is the teacher there abt the sch of IT and he talked alot on it. I had to tell him 5 thank yous b4 he finish talking. I got dizzy listening to him. Tink it must have been the bright lights and the ppl crammed into the convention hall.

We went on the sch tour on the shuttle bus tinking tt the buildings maybe far from each other. However, we found out, tt the sch of business is beside the convention centre and tt the IT and the library block is just beside each other near the front gate.

I got home feeling VERY tired.

7:09 PM

Friday was the last day of the orientation. Nth much that day. My grp played wet games tt day. A lot of water but other then tt it is ok. The army crawling in the mud causes cuts on my knee.

The finale concert included skit, the unravel of the PSI and the mascot parade.
Maigret's skit was very bad. Very boring and sadistic. In the end we had mass dance and as always I have no partner. Haiz. Then we were told to stay back and got our timetable. Then the live band sang Ice Kachang and I Dream. Thats all.

Saturday I went for gathering with YS, XH and Hailin. We shared abt our orientation and I found out my sch's orientation was not very good. =( The more Hailin said abt AC the more I feel like going there, however my result is not good enough so, haiz.

I got the comment tt my blog is too long winded. I shall shorten it, but I dun think it is working. This blog is quite long too.

Stoned at home in front of the Computer today. My favourite pass time.

1:42 PM

These few days, upon reaching home, the only think I can say is tired and the other thing I want to do is sleep. Besides wanting to trade fame in maple la.

Today everyone was supposed to be released at 6p.m. and we ended up being released at 6.47 p.m. That is a BIG difference.

No wet games today, I am very happy abt tt. We have an external orientation to help us to know the areas near school tt is the Chua Chu Kang area. The whole thing was enjoyable except tt we have to walk A LOT. We were suppose to find places which the clues hinted to us. And I love this kind of game. Unfortunately I have to depend on others as I don't know the area at all.

The first clue for the first place was difficult. Supposed to find a hidden playground tt is so near yet so far from school the clue is tt there is a steep slope there. Sounds easy right!?? Well guess what?? CCK is make up of slopes!!!!
Every playground we visited (tt is abt 7) was near and slightly hidden and all of them have a steep slope near them!!! So no clues leading to the next station was found. We got our clues from the person back at school and went running to the next place. This continues.

We were made to run everywhere. From somewhere near sch to another LRT station then back somewhere near sch THEN back to LRT station and so on. Very tiring. We were given only 3 hrs. We took 1 hr finding the first clue. And there was supposed to be 16 stations!!! REALLY... How do you complete tt!!!?

Saw the tall sinye and Alison in pj today. They are not supposed to be here. TT is definite. YS say they 'crash' in. ie exchange places with ppl.

Tomorrow is the finale and each clan and each CT suppose to do something. Clan is suppose to have a skit while CT supposed to have mascot. Our mascot is Willy, one of the only guys in the class. He is very small in size. The mascot is a ballerina. I pity him.

BTW. Gavin, one of the 4 guys in the class, transferred to other place. So now left 3 guys. Then to day our master sergeant did not come. The two guys were so lonely. Quite sad la.

At the end after official dismissal, the stupid clan master, Jun Yang, aka Jenny told us to stay back then have us wait for the other members who have their mascot and skit meeting then we pay money for the materials needed tomorrow. I was thoroughly irritated and annoyed. Ok everyone is as well. Whats the pt of us waiting?? Luckily they changed their mind and let us go.

Choir having audition this Saturday. I wonder whether I shld go or not. Haiz.
Everyone is supposed to buy Pj's PE attire.

CTL is Joyce, Hardy (if tt is how to spell his name) and Kim. Hardy is a very funny guy.

I will end here then more the next day.

8:35 PM

2nd day was the last day with the OG group. :( The next day will be with our CT grp. It was quite fun, we started learning the mess dance. Since this yr PJ accepted more female students, so I dance the male part.

The stupid guy who taught the dance keep calling the ppl who dance male parts guys. Really, can't he be a bit more observant. Haiz. NVM.

Today we got to know where we are posted. My appeal was accepted so I am in Science stream studying : Chem, Math C, Econ n Chinese. I shld had chosen the Chem, Phy and econs class. Haiz. But nvm.

I was not the only one from my OG there but I did not even talked to the two other OG members before. One of them is introduced as paper dragon. Translate to Chinese n u will know the name.

My class is 05S09. The class only have pathetically 4 guys. Mind u ONLY 4. And the moment b4 the orientation starts, the girls were already in grps and pairs. ie with ppl they know. So I was very much the solo person. The OGLs warned us abt getting wet n dirty, but today my grp is spared, it will be us tomorrow.

We played games to get clues of the "murder and kidnap" tt took place in the school. And I belonged to the Magriat clan (name spell wrongly). Our class was always competing with the Mason S14 and we lost in all the game. We have more number in ppl and thus was slow. And our class is a bit not united and also a bit unenthu.

We played, spiderweb, pass the water bags and etc games. It was overall ok. Except tt I did not eat lunch or recess today! My one pathetic coconut bread sustained me till dinner. How did this happen? Well, I thought I will eat during lunch and not recess but ended up there stupid cheering took up the lunch time. (most ppl ate during recess)

I find myself not really able to fit into the class. Think is because we still do not really know each other and the fact that the ppl is already split up to sections. I hope things work out.

8:02 PM

I was nervous to go to a new school. This morning the stupid clock managed to become one hour earlier. So the clock rang at 4.45 a.m. What a bad way to start a new school year. Met Ying San at Jurong East MRT station and went to school together. Upon reaching there we went to look at the grouping for orientation. And found out that we are different grp.

Then went to the grp and got the paper for choosing the subject comb. I want. And horrors to horrors I am only qualified for Econ, Hist/Geo and MT A. MT A!!!!!! They dun even let me study Maths while this person who was sitting beside me in the hall was allowed to take Maths when she failed A Maths as well!!!?!?!?!?

How unfair. And imagine me taking Chinese Literature!!! Goodness! Taking Hist and Econ are already a risk. Hence I went to queue for appeal. In the form I am supposed to state the reasons and elaborate why I am to be given what I appeal for. Haiz.

I forgot to mention that the principal is very long winded. I sat there from 8a.m. plus to 10.30 a.m. and my legs hurts.

Because of all the things I had to do and I could not get the combination I hoped for, I do not get a good impression of the school. The programme for the first day was boring.

We are supposed to bring $10 for orientation things.

After school went to LOT 1 for lunch then went to buy a few comics. Going to play Maple later. Hope I can kill the monsters and vent out my feelings. Namely vexed, irritated and depressed.
