Finally, the 6 months long stoning period has ended and the beginning of my poly life has started ( last week ). Having to go back to study - mode is kinda... well hard, considering that nothing much has been done in my 6 months...

Well lets start with my orientation programme =)

Day 1

Me, Sing Yuan and WeiLiang met at Bedok MRT at 1130 (i think) as we had the awesome privilege of having to report to school at 1230. On the way there, we talked about many things. We talked about how nervous we were about our 1st day of school, and that if we were ever to have a person named Henry ( Henry = 5 X Randy ) in our class, we will all die a terrible death. When we got off at Dover, We met Faizul, Natalie, and Sofia. It was nice to see more familiar faces as I was worried of being alone in the school. Then just beside them was Henry, who walked over to me and decided to give me a seizure.... Anyways, we then went on to register. After that, SP just begin to suck to me all the sudden... The students "helpers" there were honestly just statues there. The entire convention centre was as packed as packed stuff and the helpers there just stood there and did nothing to organise or help the students find their places... Till I finally realised that we had to queue to go to a big room full of seats (auditorium). There, we had a loong talk about life, GPA, and crap. I got bored and went to stoning - mode. After that, we were separated to our classes and we met one of our lecturers, Ms Katrina Yang. She kinda scared me... She was exactly thee same as Mrs Kow! She is just scary, like a sadistic kind of scary! Thank god that was not my private lecturer, as she was Sing Yuan's =). Then my class on the 1st day can be described as the quietest, most awkward class ever to have existed at that moment of time. We said nothing for 2 hours straight. Thats how strange it was there. But it will get better =) more on that later.

Day 2

Meet up with Sing yuan and weiliang... bla bla bla... talk about stuff.... bla bla bla... and we stopped at dover. In the 2nd day, we assembled in MLT 1 where we were supposed to have an induction programme and ice breakers for my class. Well... It went well, as on that day i learnt 1 important thing. 1st impressions are always wrong. There were people who just look like complete jerks who actually are really nice people. Soon my classmates stated to grow on me as I began to bond with them more. After our induction thingy, we had a interclass game of dog and bone. That game has taught me another important lesson. I shall call it the innocence theory. This is how it goes : If one shall look like an innocent being who is peaceful and tranquil, others will not see the being as a threat AT ALL. This theory is inspired by the epitome of innocence, the one and only, Lau Wei Liang. This is how it went. We were in 2 rows ( like any other dog & bone game) 2 numbers were called, one of which was wei liang's ( mind u, he was my enemy ). As the 3 people charged for the "bone", the innocent man was at the back lines, holding his hands together, looking hella innocent, thus my classmated naturally took it that he wasnt a threat. However, their assumption was soon turned against them as Wei Liang has actaully went to ninja school when he was 3 years old, so as my classmates's back was facing him, with a swift move, he snatched the "bone" between the opponent's legs while the 3 others stood mouth agape as the innocent ninja did scored one for his class. Totally unexpected. So yea that was day 2 where i found out that weiliang was a ninja.
Anyways, I now find my class awesome =D but not as awesome as 4D yet tho...

Day 3

I kinda forgot....... I think it was boring

Day 4

FLAG DAY!!!

That morning i woke up feeling powerful, powerful with the strength fueled by singaporeans as they shall hold hands and help the needy. Nah I'm just kidding, i just woke up early that day. This day has many of my firsts, as it was the 1st time i am gonna sell stickers for charity, 1st time i helped SP do a flag day, 1st time actually doing a flag day, 1st time having red bull, 1st time going completely nuts. More on that later

So my entire class was assigned to Aljunied to sell our soon to be famous red stickers. At 8am, i arrived and i saw SP students EVERYWHERE. This is partly due to 19000+ students spread all over Singapore to get donations. So at aljunied station a lone, at least 30- 50 students are there. So I met with my classmates, then Wei Liang, and then Sing Yuan. So with out awesome, manly trio at work, we started to work. We were collecting cash really quickly! Or at least one of us was.... Care to guess who? If u guessed wei liang, then you are absolutely correct! He literally seduces the public with his innocence!!! Whenever I ask for a donation, i get rejected, but as for him, they are just hypnotised by him! 2 people donated $10 notes to him O_O. So With him doing that well, i decided to have a lesson or two about the art of innocence from him. So by observing his ever move, I have come out with a condensed set of rukes which one must follow to perfect the art of innocence

1. When talking, do speak excessively politely
2. When walking to someone to ask for a donation, don't walk, but bounce towards them with eagerness ( gets them everytime )
3. When holding the can whilst idling, ALWAYS AND ALWAYS hold it with both hands and keep the can at your abdomen. It makes you look innocent
4. When ever you talk, besides being polite, also talk with happiness in your tone and smile
5. And this is the most important, if your height is above 163cm, Then I'm sorry, you have grown pass the innocence threshold... your physique cannot perform the delicate art of innocence.

With my newly acquired skills, I set off to help save the needy. And what did you know! It didnt exactly work... the bouncing thing ( rule 2 ) was just awkward and I couldnt exactly pull it off like a weiliang... Oh well...

Anywho, we travelled from aljunied to tampines by train, and we walked to simei, where we visited weiliang's old house. And as usual, he BOUNCED with excitement and exclaimed with his usual " YAY ". After that, we went back to SP where we tabulated our results for the day. I have gotten $27.45, Sing Yuan gotten $9. something and Weiliang with his charm earned him $ 80+. I have to say tho that he Ksed me a lot =). We were promised a good party after our tough day, and so i thought i could stay for a while for the party, which turned out to be excessive party rocking. I met up with my camp friends and we began to create dance floors for the masses. Soon we were dancing and sweating and having a helluva time =D. That is, until the seniors came along and crashed it-.-

Disclaimer: My fingers are pretty busted up right now after typing all these, so i am just gonna stop here.

Time is not early, I must stop pen now, next time then talk bye!
