1. OG 3 rocks!!! They may not be as enthusiastic, hyped-up and cheer every now and then for no rhyme or reason as I had wished, but at least they are obedient and bonded. They are, what I would termed as, "rationally enthusiastic". They probably just conceal their enthusiasm within their inner self and didn't display it loudly like I would have expected to do so.
2. I've learnt how to tie a water bomb.. finally. And hence, I am now equipped with the skills of tying packets of takeaway wanton mee or laksa.
3. Most J1s are super enthusiastic this year. They are all so responsive during Cheer Sessions. =)
4. And they are super-fast learners. They'd managed to learn all the mass dances using only half the time which my batch has spent.
5. They are super into the whole "Battle of the Faculties" thinggy. Just a day into this structure and everyone was comparing amongst themselves how good/sucky each faculty is.
6. I grew so much tanner by standing under the hot sun for 5 hours to man my "Silppery Sopay Frisbee" (repeat this 10 times) game.
7. Crocs is the best footwear for any muddy or wet situations. =)
8. I am sure my biceps, triceps and my back muscles have grown after all those physical labour which includes moving of canteen benches, canteen tables, writing desks, band instruments and PVC tarp. Looks like I can get that 'A' grade for my NAPFA pull-ups.
9. I conclude that Council gives you free gyming session. I'd saved a lot of that California Fitness membership fee.
10. I conclude that councillors are Supermen and Superwomen. We needa know how to dance 9 dances (5 Classic Mass Dances + 1 Faculty Dance + 1 Classic Council Dance + 1 Council Batch Dance + 1 Still-choreographing new Mass Dance (Yes, to those out there who frown on our 'retro' mass dances, we have granted your wishes and attempt to come up with a new mass dance hip-hop, modern style)), sing 8 college songs, sing the School Song (which I am sure less than 10% of the entire population bother to care what the lyrics are), and know 10 different cheers.
11. To add on, we also need to be physically and mentally fit to move equipments around the school and to withstand the long working hours and constructive, albeit harsh sometimes, comments and critcism from teachers, school admin, the student population and people from other schools.
12. The Amazing Race should visit Hwa Chong next time for their DETOUR task. Their choices: Tie It, or Tow It.
Tie It: Fill 3000 water bombs and tie them to satisfaction. No saggy water bombs. All water bombs must be of such standard that they can easily be passed off as silicon bags used for breast implants.
Tow It: Transport the PV Tarp across 200 metres of the school campus. Sounds easy? The twist is, the tarp weighs at least 100kg. Next, unfold the tarp completely, flip it over, and fold it back before transporting it back to its original position.
13. OG 3 Rocks!!!
14. This batch of J1s are
GOOD-LOOKING. The guys are
CUTE and the girls are
GORGEROUS. Some are even, what I would classify as,
HOT.
15. But at the same time, many of the girls are
BIMBOTIC. I presume God is fair in that sense. When you have jaw-dropping looks, you would also have jaw-dropping personality.
16. I also made a horrifying discovery that many of the freshmen are freaking
TALL. Average height for a guy is
175cm. Girls also average at about
167cm. Now I feel so dwarfed.
17. Orientation brings me back my memories. I start to feel youthful and energised once more, and temporarily forget that my days as a student, wearing uniform studying in an institution which emphasizes on dscipline, are numbered.
18. The campus is so colourful. The plethora of different school uniforms brings liveliness to the usual dull-brown sight.
19. My junior class is... beyond description. ;)
20. Wow, Orientation has ended... time flies, eh?
