OH NOES! WE HAVE REACHED CRITICAL MASS!Yeah about damn time I updated. IAN you've had orientation and just been to a new school, why are there no updates? Not like people read anyway, but still!
All good. Actually, it's a lot better that I refrained from posting my thoughts immediately after the orientation. I'd have passed off perfectly as a very bitchy guy, maybe some people feel I already am, but I digress.
To sum it up, talks, lectures and more talks. Seriously, orientation was totally kick ass man! One and a half days of orientation. 75% were talks/lectures. 15% breaks. 10% games or rather, actual orientation activities.
SRJC has 8 days of orientation.
VJ has 4 days, but mass dance and beach trips are included. Lotsa fun and at least you get to DO stuff. Mass dance and Suntec in the torrid raid, while a bit retarded, was fun and like I said, it's something to do.
My OG was pretty much dead as well. They hardly talk; some CCHMS fellow was mucking around with the group sign and fondling it, god knows why. I concede, I was quite the arrogant prick on the first day, but that's because I was being a sore, exceedingly bitter chump. Pardon me.
Still! Things didn't quite improve. I mean, usually the guys would at least have each other. The CCHMS guy had his sign and that's it. Can't expect me to be the only guy who approaches the girls? Would be quite the oddity.
Hark. But wait. My OGL. Terrific fellow, really. Whilst the other OGLs were wearing shirts and at least TRYING to look enthusiastic in games, this bloke here mucked around with sign (When it wasn't undergoing BDSM by the CCHMS guy) and basically didn't bother lead the group.
"Er do you all want to cheer? No right?"
"Er who wants to play?"
That's not the problem you see. He just couldn't be fucked. Naturally the group didn't care too. Oh joy.
That's that. Orientation over. Got a couple of their emails, let's see what comes out of this. I'm not optimistic.
I missed the Math lecture on Friday, so I kinda got screwed over today at Math. Didn't quite understand a crap, got the hang of it later, but yeah, it's still pretty hazy.
Chem was THE penultimate lecture though. Of course, common sense dictated that the most efficient way for students to obtain notes was for the whole level to zerg the photocopy room and grab a copy. Who woulda thunk?! I mean, when you need something passed around quick, you just swarm the source, right?
Went mostly like this. Take notes, flip through, fill in the blanks myself and basically ignore the blabbering lecturer. Yay mole concept. Of course there are those who haven't taken Chemistry before, so I'm not complaining. Just saying it was terribly mind numbing.
What's next? Oh that's right. We want you to hang around the school for half an hour and look pretty, even though the whole level's already done with lessons. You're in TP! Be proud of that. HANG AROUND AND LOOK PRETTY FFS. DO IT.
Yeah. Had lunch at PP with Jixian and James. Thanked the stars the day was over, more or less.
Side note: Totally digging the latest Foo Fighter's album. I'm a bit slow, I know. But, it's really really good! Good mixture of slow, melodic songs and slightly harder songs with faster tempos. The last track, Home, ended the album perfectly with a tune and lyrics that can't help but invoke nostalgia. Very soothing. Great for relaxing.
Oh, and that weird shitty hokkien song, Ji Pa Ban ($100000 in hokkien, for the uninitiated) has a wicked guitar solo and some odd riffs. Darren found that out. It's not important, but funny enough to be mentioned.
I shall be going to school tomorrow to learn some Civics and Morals. You'd think, after nearly 10 years of learning that crap, I'd be a nice, model citizen who absolutely adores his country, that'd be ideal. Too bad shit happens in real life. Morals came from my parents, that's that. Oh and roflchinese. Yeah. Chinese.
Get me out of TPJC, please.
PS. No, I still don't think I'm a guy who bitches. I'm sorry for being articulate.
GUYS, REROLL LIFE IMO!
