Hmm
I decided that HC, like all Singapore schools, have a screwed-up system.
I hate MOE.

I WILL SUE!!!!!
I am staring at my timetable in utter disbelief.
Tuesday: 2-hour break.
Wednesday: 2-hour break. Report to school at 7.25am. Start lessons at 10am.
Thursday: 1.5-hour break.
Friday: FOUR-HOUR BREAK. EMPTINESS FROM 9AM TO 1PM.
FOUR HOURS.
Four. 2+2=4.
How the school expects me to productively spend 4 hours in school, I have NO. IDEA.
Maybe I should just take Physics, for goodness' sake. ARGH.

Nap
School is dead tiring. Okay no school is dead boring.
Sorry 10S60, for been missing flag/banner-painting sessions because of CNY performance practice! ):
Sorry OG 32, for missing the OG dinner because of Huayi practice! ):
Sigh life is busy. As of now I'm committed to 4 COs. Crazy or what. When Huayi and Beautiful Sunday are over I'm going to dance in the rain in celebration of the return of my weekends.

Starry starry night
And so Orientation 2010 is over. The Hwa Chong population leaves school, sweaty and exhausted. Everyone has cheered and danced their share. The campfire is left to sizzle.
It is really terrifying to be the last to leave school. Reflecting on school life as of now takes me places. My bored, restless mind just keeps thinking. And because I am a pessimist, I spiral into some life-hating mode.
It is a bit of disappointment with my brain. Not that it hasn't been (fully) functional these days. I used to be so sure, so certain about things. But now when I look back, I realise I've been planning and planning. I keep giving excuses for not pursuing sideline interests. "No time for that", "wait till college". Sigh, I guess JC life is not a time for all fun and games!
Then there is the... epiphany. That I am in a whole new environment all over again, thrown out there to feed the hyenas. I am supposed to feel comfortable here. I am supposed to see familiar faces everywhere. But everyone has changed so much in JC; it's sheer horror. (Okay I am being a little dramatic here, but is it really not a pretty sight.) Is it their loss of identity or my lack thereof?
It's okay, I tell myself, I've made new friends, I like my class. Time for a fresh start. Survive, even if it means living day by day!
And all of this on a very windy night. The stars are barely visible. I sit in the middle of the walkway. I want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Ad Infinitum
Goodness, I'm so freaking tired. Orientation is crazy indeed.
OG games and cheering sessions were insane. OG 32 is such a happy-go-lucky lot haha! And yay for Yu Hui our always-kena-bullied OG leader! :D But the best parts were the dinner/gossipsessionhushhush and the games after!
We literally played freeze-and-melt at the high school field till 9.45pm. It was so dark we had to keeping asking, "Are you the catcher?" It's kind of hilarious and morbidly freaky at the same time. Everyone loves that.
And now we're split into classes! 10S60 looks like a nice bunch. Very international indeed haha! And, well, Athena is not that bad after all. (: We're quirky and fun!
I think... Hwa Chong is turning me into this overtly happy, friendly and optimistic person. WHAAAT?
