first day of school!
ONE ELEVEN (:
left the house at 6.30am, reached RG at 6.50 or smth? i searched the class lists for my name, incidentally, the first one i saw, 111, was my class (: met yensiang, who was looking for JKers. also saw a few others from L&M.
fang's in my class! together with yunwen, yanru, ci hui, thalia, belinda, lexine and cheryl. decent, i guess, compared to poor yensiang, the only NY GEPer in 109. amanda and boon are in 110, yenjean's in 113.
started off with a very VERY quick morning assembly in the amphitheatre, with the national anthem and pledge being said EXTREMELY quickly. there was this girl onstage conducting the national anthem. she looked seriously grumpy, like glaring at people. o.O
then the seniors did a few raffles cheers. it was EXTREMELY loud and when they stamped their feet, i could feel the ground quake beneath my feet. lol! fang and i were kidding that the neighbours around this area got a wake up alarm every morning at 7.30. :P
then had some SERIOUSLY boring speeches. recess, then MORE SPEECHES. -.- i fell asleep during the talk about RG history, and woke up just before it ended. (: then went to the classrooms with the PSLs, they're really nice and funny but you should see the number of school rules they told us. ugh. and i thought NYPS was STRICT. they even have a rule about the thickness of your hoop earrings. wth?! -.-
introductions, then lunch. btw, the food at RG is really ex. ONE SIXTY for a bowl of noodles. siao! so i'm getting a much needed allowance raise. (:
then some more games, which were quite fun, then the raffles initiation. they taught us two cheers, and our orientation song, Reach by Gloria Estefan. the song is quite nice lah, but a bit hard for me to sing, coz i'm more of an alto.
thenanother TOTALLY REDUNDANT CCA talk. 90% of what the teacher said was covered at the CCA orientation. -.- as usual, she went overtime, and we sat til our legs were cramping like siao. argh.
then we were supposed to go with yenjean back to NYPS, but at first yenjean said that they cancelled coz everyone was released WAY earlier than us.
but in the end me, boon, yensiang, xinhui, yixuan and ariel went back anyway. we wanted to all squeeze into one taxi, so we were asking the taxi uncle: uncle, can we squeeze 5 people in the back? but he was like, NO WAY so in the end me, boon and ariel took another taxi.
cost $4.60 for one trip, which is really quite cheap. when we arrived only chen lao shi was still there, mrs chan and mr tan all went off liao. so we chatted with her until 5, then i went home.
