today was the first day of school at Serangoon Junior College or SRJC. it wasn't quite as i expected it to be.

we assembled in the morning at the concourse. everyone was arranged into orienatation groups with weird names like Inferno, Aura, Cosmo, Hydro and Mistral. like what the hell, did they get those names from some final fantasy game or something? my brother was ratlling off to me that mistral was a kind of cold, dry north wind that blows over the Mediterranean coast of France and nearby regions. i checked the dictionary upon hearing his explanation and this is what it said:

mistral n. [[Fr magistralis <>MASTER ]] a cold, dry north wind that blows over the Mediterranean coast of France and nearby regions.

i was in deep thought after that as to how my brother knew of such things. i swear he knows the secrets to life.

so anyway the morning was filled with ice breaker games which i never played before. being in RCCL, you'd think you've seen every ice breaker game, but i was wrong and was enlightened. or maybe i'm just deprived of playing those games. we played something called H20 which was reminiscent of the squirrel and the house game. it was quite alright then we played this couple game which reminded me of duck duck goose. the games were really welcomed by all of the freshmen but i guess, for me, being in league makes you enthusiastic about such games.

then, we learned cheers for the group. i never heard them before but i overheard someone saying that they were OBS cheers so yeah. i never went to OBS [damn]. the cheers were quite cool. then, it was time for food. it was like 11 am so i don't know if it's lunch or breakfast. i didn't really care. i was hungry and it was time for food. i ate some chinese mixed rice with ben and it was not bad. ben wasn't too happy with the place. he was like, "i'm not coming tomorrow..."

then we had some briefing on our courses. after that we had this mass dance in the hall. it was some couple dance which was quite cool. something funny happened to benedict then.

he was eyeing this chick, so he meticulousy lined himself up so that she would be his partner. but, in a sudden turn of events, she got dragged away as they wanted to balance the number of partners. hence, benedict got this indian girl instead. he was unhappy about it and slowly went away and found himself another girl who he claimed was 'okay'. but during the entire time he was dancing, he was looking at everywhere else except the girl's face. really funny.

the neighbours there were alright. about half passed acfc standards. quite a handful were above average but there was one who was of yohanna standard.

overall it was alright i guess. quite boring at times but a new experience nonetheless. looking forward to see what's coming.

three months..sigh...
