NJC Orientation, Lectures, Valentine's Day

Finally an update for orientation week. The theme for this year's is E(nj)oy- Viva la Vida. Note the NJ in 'enjoy'. Hahaha anyway I'm in OG 6, definitely one of the best OGs around!! Hahaha I think everyone says this about their OG, but it's true! Our super awesome OGLs are Gabby, Yi Ping, Qinrui, Qingwei, Lennon and Glennville. The 4 male OGLs were all from SJI!! Woohoooo!

Day 1
Talks took up the first part of the day. NJ's formal colours are blue and white so most of the male teachers were dressed in a white shirt and blue tie. Hahaha spent a lot of time waiting for people to finish registering. BUT finally got it done. I chose PCME, very standard combination, hope I don't die doing it. Yeps then it was onwards to the oasis to sit around. Sat and read Newsweek and the student handbook. Went for the Student Needs Test at 3.30pm, quintessentially a survey about our development. Hahaha finally got dismissed at 4 plus. Went back with Meifeng and Fiona.

Day 2
Had the code of conduct talk in the hall, followed up by PE talk by Mr. Irwan, an ex-SJI pe teacher! Hahaha he joined 'Don't Forget The Lyrics' and I thought he looked quite familiar! I think he left for NJC when I was in sec 2. Hahaha funny guy.
Then we had the informal walk-in. The dances were very nice and I guess Titan's was the best! Hahahaha that's because I'm from Titan, BUT it's true! :D After lunch, we had our first ever Mass Dance session. Partnered with Mingxiu. Danced to the song "Please Don't Stop The Music" by Rihanna. The whole dance was way too fast. Hahhaha but yea, dancing is cool. :) We had a song and cheer session, where they attempted to teach us the school anthem. Hahahah My favourite is the YAHHH!!! cheer.

Day 3
Had mass dance session for the first part. Danced with Clara, one of the IP students. Hahaha still can't get the dance. The rest of the day was station games where everyone got really wet, especially Clara. Poor her. Cos it's her birthday so they kept dunking water on her. Hahaha hence never reveal your birthday! Yeps, then it was wash up and stuff before the CCA carnival stated. Just walked around and peeked at all the booths. Hahahaha Arjuna kept getting pestered by the Indian Dance people. Hahaha in the end, signed up for Aikido, Interact Club and I&E. Hahhaha the I&E thing was under the influence of Arjuna.

Day 4
External hunt was the order of the day. Went to Jurong East to start off. Played a lot of games along the way before making our way to Bishan for more games and lunch. Went back to school for a debrief.

Day 5
Watched the pre-showdown video and went for showdown. Hahhaha it's fun being the defender cos you get to smash water bombs and get very very very wet. Getting wet is the fun part. Hahaha Washed up after that and headed for the last mass dance session. They taught us another dance which is comparatively a lot easier than the first one. It's to the song "Summer Nights" by Grease, a very old song. It's a 'traditional' NJ dance, started like years back. Haha this dance is cute. Had a Titan house session where we learnt some cheers. Hahahah the best is the "Titan, titan, titan titan". Very unique cheer. It upstages "Rock On Michael". Hahaha
Had OG bonding time around the school while waiting for dinner. Dinner was pizza and KFC. Dance party was in the hall! It rocks!! We had a DJ helping us to spin the tracks. Dang cool. Never had one in SJI before. Hahaha Managed to find Clara to dance to 'Please Don't Stop The Music'. A lot of people didn't get to dance with their dance partners cos it was so dark and noisy inside the hall. So I was lucky in a way. Thanks to Clara for the dance! :) Hahahaha Had a lot fun at the dance party. I reckon Bryan definitely enjoyed himself; he was doing random actions like standing broad jumps etc. Hahahaha Adhitya and I requested for a Bhrangra song to be played so all the SJI guys could go up on stage to do what Mr. Arul taught us in Sec 2. Hahahaha Had a lot of fun with the SJI contigent. 37 in total. Hahahaha Once a Josephian, Always a Josephian. Hahahah XD Those were the good old days. Thanks to Mr. Arul, we've gained exposure into the colourful world of Bhrangra dance and music. Hahahaha I miss his "Fruity Friday" stories. :D

Yeps, Orientation was definitely the best week ever! Now it's back to lectures.. :(
Hahahha lectures are actually quite fun if you sit with the right people and your lecturer is funny. Hahahaha our lecturers so far are quite okay. The content is just overwhelming. Hahahaha it's quite fun to observe what people do in lectures. Ai Hua will do a lot of random stuff ranging from drawing pigs on my book to playing with Samantha's leg. Hahahaha I still think my lion looks nicer than hers. XD

Valentine's Day was quite fun. Hahahah received a lot of stuff and felt very bad about not giving on that day. Thanks everyone for all the stuff!! Some of the handmade stuff was very creative like the one from Clara. I never could have made a card like that. Hahaha :D I would like to thank the OGLs too. They gave us our photos in a CD with personalised captions. Hahahh mine's like "Have fun in chess club!" Hahahaha

Some cute chocolate from Qiao Wei. I can't bear to eat it cos it's so cute. Hahahha
