Due to me changing from OG 2 to OG 21,i didnt get my subject combination forms yesterday which as a result i had some explaination to do to the OG head.Thus,starting from today,i had to report to OG 2 for attendance and then i will be off to OG 21 for the activities.
There was a speculation that there would be some water bombing activities which would be held at the later part of the day.So the day started of with some introductory lectures about the subjects such as Physics,Biology,Economics,Malay and Chinese.
The Biology lecture was actually held on the 1 day of orientation.Sorry yea but i just included it in cos i just remembered it.So the TPJC Patrician Society came late as usual and we walk towards the centre part of the lecture theathre to get the seats available.The lecture theathre was very outdated compared to the other lecture theathres i have been to like victoria which was VERY IMPRESSIVE(looks like a cinema,i swear).So the talk went on and on.At the end of the talk, the bio teacher told the J1s that those whom didn't take bio at the O's at all as a combined science or a pure subject can still take it at the JC level but must take a qualification exam on the day itself.It was totally outragous as it was very impromptu kinda thing so i guess nobody went for it.hahhaa.
The Physics talk was not that boring however i was demoralised when Mr Tze, physics lecturer told us that combine science students would really have a hard time doing Physics at H2.Furthermore, H2 physics requires and additional maths background knowlegde as its first chapter already has an A maths stuff inside.Also a good maths background would be essential to do well.And i basically do not have all those requirements.Thus, i was left quite demoralised with it.
The Economics lecture was boring.There was this muscular male teacher and another female one there.Economics sounds so similar to Human Geography on some aspects as it deals with a bit of inferencing and commmon sense knowledge which i usually have.hahaha.i sound as if i dun have it all the time.Dongs!!.Well H2 economics would at least help me get to a business course in university with a H1 maths.But i dun actually see myself doing business or accounting kinda thing.
Next was the Malay talk.Well my malay wasnt as stunning as before or it nvr was actually.hahaha.The Female malay teacher who gave the talk initially was boring.And she kept asking the whole school to listen to her which was really OUTRAGEOUS to some as 75% of the school was made up of Chinese students remember!!Plus, she wanted to talk in malay which obiously none of these pple would understand.hahaaha.So to rebel her,they all talk when she was giving her boring speech which i found it rude.Then,she gave up and gave the microphone to the other minah teacher.This one was much more interesting as her voice doesnt blend in with the surrounding which would make it really boring.Malay Language Elective Program(MLEP) was to cater to those malay students whose malay is superb and real classy.The requirements was H2 Malay and A1 for malay at the O's.Which basically means,I dun STAND A CHANCE FOR IT and ITS ACTUALLY H3 Malay.So if u take MLEP u would be on ur way to become a MALAY TEACHER!!how fun.So those of u inspiring to be a malay teacher, this is the road to it.
After the Malay talk was the Chinese talk.So being the usual patricians, TPJC Patrician Society except Joseph and Brandon Wong chao to the canteen to have our deserving break.hahaha.in my perspective that is.I ate at the spice corner, stall 8, whose prata was simply delicious however its curry was rather bland.After that we slack at the canteen,talk cock and observe a group of TPJC seniors playing soccer.They were'nt really as impressive as the Sec 5 soccer seniors back in st.pats whose soccer team was made up of national players.
So we went to join to play soccer with some of the seniors.They were not bad ( 6 / 10) in their soccer playing skills that is.So it was TPJC Snrs and Ahamd(from Ngee Ann Sec) versus the Patrician Society.In the end, the results we out.We thrashed them 3-1 which was not bad considered we were newbies in the school.Then we went back to the school for the Future Options Talk.
The talk began with the NUS/NTU Engineering Faculty which required H2 maths and physics mainly and maybe the Chemical Engineering which require H2 maths and chemistry.When i heard bout the Engineering courses in university,i felt demoralised as usual.Due to me, being unable to take anything.Even the life sciences course and the dentistry course requires H2 maths.Basically,i cant take any course with H2 maths requirment cos i will be taking onlie H1.Sobs.I just felt like going Poly out of sudden after that talk as i felt that i can only go to the science stream in JC after which i couldnt enter any courses in any UNIVERSITY.My hopes were dashed.
My OG did a bit of cheering here and there which i didnt really familiarise myself with.whoopz.yea.Qazim and Ansley were rite,Its all about being Enthusiastic and then we will find it fun.Sobs.I really felt bad letting my group down by chaoing all those sessions together.Dun worry i will really miss u guys after this week that is.I noe the guys names from my group except for the gals(except for tracy,temasekian gal whose Qazim's classmate and yilin,elmo cheer gal,and esther,a section mate in the tpjc band)hahaha.Really sorry for not being able to even know ur names yea.Like what Esther said, i am not a super being thus i am not able to remember ur names well.But it will take time rite.
After that it was the WATER ACTIVITIES.The most exciting and fun activity throughout the whole orientation.Well we had to do those activities such as Water soccer and etc.hahaha.I will talk about it later k.The first activity was to collect water from a pail using a plastic cup with holes beneath it n to pass it to ur team mates who are arranged in a straight line in a sequence of passing it up and down to the last person who will fill up a bottle to the required length.So it was really tough to fill the bottle up as by the time the plastic cup reach the last person it will be literally empty.Thank Goodness it rained.hahaha.There were some suggestions to pee inside the bottle or to spit inside it to make sure it fills to the required length.In the end,my group lost to another one by a mere 1 cm which i believe was due to a Parallax Error.hahaha.It was still raining cats and dogs so we were still drenched.
Then it was another activity which involved the every member in a group to crawl under a rafia string like in the army at the field to the other side of the starting point.The field was muddy due to the rain so basically all the members were soaking with MUD.Ewww.hahahaha.As usual,hisham and i pretended to go to another group and then we walked across to join our group members who had completed crawling under the strings.hahaha.bastards.after that 3 members of our group had to use the mouth to take out sweets from the chair which was filled with flour.Due to the rainy condition,the flour was in a really disgusting condition for anyone to use the mouth and pick out the sweets.So hisham and i and the rest of the members of OG 21 rooted support for these 3 members.After that we had to walk back to the starting point.To our dismay, the councillers were there to watch our every move so we cant escape the dirty muds.So hisham decided to push the tables which was interconnected to the chairs and other tables by the string forming a maze like condition.As a result the tables fell and topple one another.Some of the members had the tables fell on them.hahaha.poor thing.So hisham and i crawled for a short distance only.hahahah.sorry folks.but we still got dirty k.hahaha.
Next was the water soccer.It was more like rugby actually.Just dat we have to grab the opponents water bombs after they have touch them and we have to bring them to our BASE to get our points or to bring our water bombs to their base.Our opponents had an advantage as they had this Tanjong Katong guy who is A GIANT.I swear he was much taller and bigger than the rest of us.So hisham and i and a few of the gals had to prevent him from reaching our base which seems so impossible!!In the end we had to play cheat as hisham grab hold of the waterbombs first before the opponents actually touch them which actually was a foul.After that,hisham did this magical rugby solo run which even the tall GIANT couldnt stop him.Really salute him for that.hahaha.Cheers to Hisham!!
After that it was mainly the waterbomb fight.Where i manage to throw 2 water bombs at one ex-st.pats senior who is in tpjc now and was the ABBA group Leader.Hisham managed to throw one at him.hahhaa.real fun.Everyone was practically throwing at each other.There was one incident where there were a group of boys who were filling up the plastic bags at the ground level water taps.So hisham who was at the stadium stands decided to throw at these boys who were practically unaware of our presence upstairs.hahahaha.When hisham threw at them,the bombs they were filling up burst.hahaha.
So fun and hilarious.That was basically the most fun activity i ever done in my life.Anyway,i kinda got attracted to one KC eurasian gal in BeeGees.Outstanding looks.But i'm really scared of being rejected by her.Rare instance where a eurasian gal goes out with a malay boy.Haiz.
Well next week will be lectures lectures and lectures.Even if u dun have lecture on that day,u still have to come to take attendance and can only leave after 12.50pm.Actually, u can basically escape at anytime.hahhaha.But u must be Pro in it.
tata pple.
