Orientation

As I'm sitting on the chair blogging about this, my brain is reminiscing those good times I had with my friends. Those were the time where sky-high PTA fees became headlines, controversies between friends and my dear friend Ivan Chai who is far far away in Pahang playing a prank on his trusted buddies.

Flashbacks of the time when me and my best pals were addressed as "that group there" by our "favorite" add. maths teacher, Pn. Foo, who has retired quite some time. Chemistry lab was our playground. We weren't the bunch of oh-so-innocent teenagers but the type of real man with raging hormones. Our favorite was definitely the product of KSCN and Fe203 (correct me if i'm wrong), the red bloody effect you always see in horror movies.

Here's an example:

Those were the days but currently we are separated. I'm pursuing A-levels with a bunch of unknown people, my friend ching yung who is in ADP also at Taylor's, Ivan Chai who is far far away in NS, Ivan chooi in SAM, and last but not least say joon awaiting his fate and form 6.
Though I don't have photos of us (cam-shy), but the "famous five" will live on with their legacy(what legacy? I don't know!).

Back to business. Today's orientation was rather normal with the usual staff they do when your were back in your secondary school. Talks, speeches, introduction, motivation.. and the list goes continues. All the classes were given mentor's. I had 2 mentors, literally, because i registered computing but that morning itself i changed to economics. In the classes we were assigned, technically i know none of them. However, I was not the only SEA-parkian there. Cheng Ze from 5A is now officially my classmate. The whole class had ice-breaking session where we played a kind of memory game, "blow wind blow" and sherade ( don't know how to spell). Thanks seniors!! Later on was campus tour!! The place is good for exercise, ascending and descending the stairs, burning off those unwanted calories you accumulated in Asia Cafe. After that, back to the Multi-purpose hall, where the CAL student council members gave a presentation. I'm interested to run for student council president as it will help me with my application to the US. However, deep inside, i'm not that sure as i have never been elected with a post in any clubs or societies and my social skills are down the drain. The turnout of people going to the UK was utmost shocking!! More than 60% of the intake plans to go to UK, mostly planning to pursue medicine in the inaugural Oxbridge,only a handful to the US. With the 10k paid as fees, what i got was rather minimal and surprisingly little things. Only a bag, t-shirt and a receipt!!
