And so, hi! I'm back to posting again. It has been such a long time since I've blogged.
I was posted to Pioneer Junior College. I remembered how my heart sank when I recieved the JAE posting message at around 7+ am, cause NYJC would really be a school I like, considering the fact that it gave me the homely feeling when I stepped into NYJC. At first I thought PJC wouldn't be so bad, so I went to school the first day with the feeling of enjoying the first day of school. BUT I WAS SO WRONG. Matriculation (or what others would call it the orientation) didn't went as well as expected. I am in a totally new environment with many unfamiliar faces. The college made me feel uneasy and unsettled, but I still had to attend school. But however, after the first few days of Matriculation, I started to become comfortable and mixed around with my MG mates quite well. I'm blessed with good MGLs who were extremely nice and wonderful, like our daddys and mummys. Even up till now, I still prefer hanging out with some of my MG mates rather than my classmates.
Before we move on to Orientation, it was the Chinese New Year! :D As usual, these past three years of CNY felt really empty, and just isn't the same anymore. No longer so crowded, so lively, so noisy, so family-ish. But it's ok, I still had fun eating. :P
After Matriculation, it was the Orientation. Orientation for us is the time when we mix around with our permanent classmates for the next two years. Orientation was not as fun as Matriculation, but the Finale Night was really the highlight of the whole event. Everyone just go crazy and dance, wonderful. It's so relaxed that I don't feel the burden of being a student, and just danced with all my might. It was indeed splendid. These are things you will never get to enjoy back in Riverside where the teachers treat us like little children. But of course, there are still good teachers back in RSS that deserve our respect, cause they treated us with equal respect and understanding.
And then, it was the start of lectures. For this past week, we had mass lectures together and the things we learn are rather basic. Things like differentiation, moles, SI units. All these were things learnt in secondary school, of course with the exception of new subjects like Econs and PW. Learnt a bit of new stuff for Maths though, still manageable and still alive kicking. Not to forget CCA, I comtemplated over many choices and to be honest, up till now, I'm still shaky about my choice. I decided to join the Student Council, but the heavy workload and the elections, campaigns discouraged me a lot from joining SC. If only Interact Club accepts me! But if I was to reject SC, a bit guilty towards one of my MG mate whom I promised I would join SC. But seriously, the amount of workload really is ... A MAJOR TURNOFF. I don't want to break another promise, like how I did to you, countless times. Hais, let nature take its course!
Real hectic life of a JC student starts officially tomorrow. Having to end lessons at 4-5pm everyday isn't a very encouraging thing, but hopefully I'll pull through. To other RSS schoolmates, do your best and graduate with a wonderful A-Level Cert! Seriously, going to school everyday is like 度日如年, I seriously hope life in PJC would be very wonderful.
On a side note, met up with some friends on Thursday for a simple dinner together. It feels good to catch up once in a while and to take a break from studies. I swear I've been studying and doing my tutorials consistently without fail. What a drastic change from secondary school. But nevertheless, the dinner session was nice other than the fact of the venue for dinner, with everyone having different opinions. Whatever.
I still cannot put you down. Truthfully, I felt that tinge of happiness when you asked me a very simple and casual question, that night over dinner. I think we conversed for more than 1 sentence too. I ... am stuck. Bye.
