New School, New Environment
There was a common mistake that many people make, by spelling environment without the letter 'n' even though it was quite basic to bear in mind. Unless the person doesn't have a mind to begin with :O .
Back to the topic, I was almost tardy ( if that is a slang) . Endeavouring to wake up at 5:30 am seemed to be infeasible if not, futile. It's quite relieving to have your school adjacent to your house. I have managed to report timely even though I woke up an hour later.
To my surprise, many clementeens were posted to JJ as well. A couple of those included 4C1s with people like Tin Wei yang, Liang Cheng, May Hui, Yu Zheng, Ya Huan, Tomi, Kok Ti and Yan ni. Some were even bearing single digits for their L1R5. Half of them have already decided to appeal for a transfer as they feel that JJ is a dumping ground.
The Truth: MOE was compelled to heighten the admission criteria for many schools due to the overwhelming number of people enrolling in JCs this year. As such, it is not a very big surprise that people with low L1R5 ending up in JJ.
The J2s were very high throughout the entire orientation as though they were suffering from euphoria. Followed by their warm welcome, we were required to do many cheers and different claps. Bashful crowd with barely audible responses. They attempted to lift our spirits but were given the "cold" reply. However, this did not stop them at all. They have a myriad of despicable methods like calling your name and then hitting your laps with frenzy power till you call someone else name and then repeat the "vicious cycle". I've let my guard down and sustained some injuries from their potent assault.
Vengeance time! After I had grasped the concept of the game, I launched my counterattack at the OGL. (Orientation Group Leader) Revenge was the only thing on my mind. I made sure each slap from my fury palm landed with more power. Though he was pwned, I suffered some recoil damage. Newton's third law - Every action comes with an equal and opposite reaction.
To end off, we were FORCED to do something insane! Mass dance on the first day! It was quite entertaining as I have mastered two very cool dance. One of the good parts was that my partner was quite gorgeous except the fact that she couldn't dance well. Maybe because she was shy or could not keep up with me because I was so hyper.
I bet we were the last to be released in the entire Singapore. They only allowed us to go home at 5 pm.
