It has been a pretty long week, a really long emotional rollercoaster ride.



Wee hours of Monday morning, I never knew I would have to go through another painful experience. I thought I was right about it. But hey, I guess I let my own emotions get in the way. Maybe that's whye.



He had the most amazing laughter.



Woke up earlier than Ricey. Ended up lying in bed listening to music to get me through the day. After lunch it was time for the photoshoot. Covered Ricey's face with gold glitter and painted her eyelids and lips with gold paint. It was pretty exciting but I couldn't get my head into the photoshoot. I felt so low. I guess it meant more than I could ever imagined. As a result, I can't say I did my best and the pictures I took were amazing. It was upsetting and demoralizing. But hey, everyone has their ups and downs and this was one of those days.



The next few days was spent worrying about poly orientation. About the activities, about the people, about the course, about how I was not going to be able to make friends or find people who's personality would click with mine (this was the main terror). This made me ALMOST half regret not putting visual communication as my first choice.



Then came thursday, woke up feeling exhausted from tumbling too much at night. Went to school with a not so open mind. Met Alex, Audrey, Kim and ShiHui and made our way to our NEW second home. Anxiety all over. Sat down in the auditorium trying to stay calm and cool. Kept extremely quiet and to myself because everyone seemed so 'scary'. Then came this girl in pink who sat beside me. She wore this big smile on her face and I could not help smiling back. She called Eik Ming, who turned out to be very nice and a Malaysian. Ended up talking to the people beside my right and Eik Ming's left. It felt really good. Lots os speeches and videos. Watch a comdey skit. Ice-breakers allowed me to know lots of other classmates. By the end of it I was pretty high. Oh there was this mass dance. My dance partner was Seran who turned out to be pretty taall. We were asked to dance on stage which was like wow, I would never do that back in Secondary school. It turned out to be quite awesome. Went home with Alastair, Russell and Seran. Came back extremely high, dear brother thought they served alcohol at the orientation. I seriously enjoyed myself and the orientation was way above expectations! I made more friends than I could imagined in a day and I enjoyed myself whole-heartedly.



Tuesday I came with a motto in my head, ''get high like planes!'' I was really high. Walked bare-footed around the track which turned out to be a pretty bad idea at the second station. It was like stepping on coals. Highlarious activities. Lots of screaming and cheering on members of MS0901. Everyone was pretty high too and we bonded as a class:D The water bomb fight was awesome so was transporting the pail from one end to another! The grand finale was good! Mr. and Miss. Freshie was entertaining. Ohoh and they had a skit followed by a short music performance. Luq from my class played the guitar which was pretty cool. They played Green Day's time of your life and Howie Day's Collide. Oldies but still great music. Got high, stood up with Eik Ming and Shermaine and sang and wave our hands in the air. Cheered for Luq and requested for an encore but to no avail. OGLs were awesome too and supportive! Got interviewed by some lady with a camera about the orientation. Said, I wouldn't mind if there was another orientation day tommorrow:P Ohoh and my classmates are awesome. Play soso many instruments and are music lovers just like me:D Finally, I've classmates who can actually headbang and rock on with my kind of music<3

I love my school. I love my class. I love NYP. Monday come quickly won't you?
