Today was super fun. I really had a great time today even though something bad happened.
Since my friend was back from Indonesia, we decided to have a gathering. We were going to Plaza Sing to eat before going shopping. We were so noisy in the MRT, there was just so much catching up to do. It's great to see each other again.
The 6 of us girls went 1st with 2 guys joining us later. After much deciding, we decided to eat at Swensens. We each ordered a main course and spilt up the cost for fries and ice-cream.
After eating, a lot of photo-taking and talking, we went to Wisma Atria to shop.
Unfortunately, when a friend wanted to pay for the clothes, she could not find her wallet. We searched everywhere but could not find it. We went back to Swensens but was told that no wallet was found. They wanted to make a police report but decided to do it later.
Oh well, we went back soon after and the lot of them went to make a police report. I did not go with them. Just now, I was told that the police said there was no need to do that. Luckily, there was no IC in the wallet.
My friend will be returning to Indonesia soon. We make plans to meet again next time and go to the movies.
Looking forward to that day. Which reminds me, I miss my secondary 4 class so much...
Those were the happy days...

1st week of lessons
Mon:
We only need to attend lectures and communication skills lessons for the 1st week. I met up with some friends before going to campus. There were so many students, seeing as the term had started. The lesson was quite boring and the room was cold. It lasted 2 hours in the afternoon.
Tues:
2 hours of lecture on Micro Economics. We had to take notes about it. It was a bit like social studies and geography mixed. Many people complained about it being boring.
Wed:
1 hour of computer system and applications. Wasted my money by going to and fro just for that 1 hour of lecture. It was alright. Textbooks were expensive.
Thurs:
Another 2 hours of Comm skills in the morning. The teacher just go on and on about writing styles and all that. My classmates were passing notes around saying that he was so boring.
Fri:
After Accounting lecture, there was a 3 hours break. We, as a whole class, went to the IT school to eat lunch. After that, we went SAFRA to play pool. Only 4 girls are playing, including me. I'm not good in it, haha. No strength at all. Speaking of strength, I wanted to join bowling as CCA but they are conducting trials. The point is, I'm really bad in it. I'm sure I will not be accepted...Sighs.
I just want to have fun in a CCA without having to take part in tournaments.
It's Principles of Management next. Everybody were complaining by now, some wanted to skip it.
There's still a long~ way to go...

Business school orientation
Ok, the home computer was finally spoilt... And since my father do not want to send it for repair, I can't go online... I'm using my father's laptop to do this.
I shall only briefly talked about the business school orientation on the 17th and 18th.
All business school freshmen assembled at the convention centre for briefing. Business studies grouping (BSG) has the most number of people in it. Furthermore, business school has the largest quantity of students. We were seated according to our classes. There were 25 students in my class.
People in the BSG were liked 'stoned". They don't reply to cheers or anything. There were some some exceptions though. After that, we learnt more about our classmates and had lunch. We then proceeded to the very warm sports complex to learn mass dance, hand-sign song and school song. Since I already knew the steps quite well during the freshmen orientation, I led my 'dance partner'.
2nd day:
We needed to be early today. We were meeting our care person who is like our form teacher. He seems like a boring person.
In the afternoon, there's the Olympia and regetta to look forward to. To prevent us from running away, our matric cards were collected. Both events were competed between schools. Business school has been winning for 3 years straight. As the SLs were telling us, we must win the 4th time.
Business school has so many people, we must all squeeze into that small area provided for us in the stadium. It was hot. Some people ran away. The Olympia was quite good, even if we didn't win 1st for some events, there were 2nds and 3rds. We cheered so loudly.
After that, we went to Bedok reservoir for the dragon boats races. Business school won quite a few rounds. Business school won the overall championship, for the 4th time.

FOW 2008 at TP
7th April
Woke up at 6am and left home at 7. The trip was smooth, no traffic jam. In the end, reached Temasek Poly in record time, 8am. The orientation don't start till 9. So, I just sat near the sports complex, feeling very out of place.
The GLs were "high", for a lack of better word. I found out that there as only 2 representatives from my secondary school... The other person was a friend during the lower secondary days. But, we were put into different empires. There were 5 empires, Accion, Fyrtho, Komez, Phantos and Venos. Komez was my empire. The number of freshmen joining this orientation was large, about 600. Anyway, we played ice-breakers, learnt cheers and be acquainted with each other. I can't remembered much.
After lunch, which was alright, we went out, in our sub-empires, of campus to play games. The game was to let us be more familiarised with the neighbourhood. I don't think that helped much, seeing as we were just rushing here and there to complete the game. We were released at 7 without dinner. I was so tired, sweaty, and hungry.
The sports hall was HOT, to put it bluntly. The fans prove to be of no use, at all.
8th April
My father was going to Changi so he can drive me there. The number of people who came today was almost half of yesterday. I went because we were going to learn the school song, hand-sign song and mass dance. The hand sign part was difficult. I can't remember any moves.
I like the mass dance, in which we have to partner with the opposite sex and dance. The school song was fun too.
Since it was raining, which was great, we can't go out to play the games. Instead, we played the modified version inside campus. There was performance night that night. It was OK, I supposed.
After dinner, we were dismissed.
I did not go on the 3rd day because I had enough. Besides there will be water games and I dislike those.
This is basically the orientation organised by the student union.

End of holidays
Well, almost the end of my holidays.
Next week, I've freshmen orientation programme, maybe...
Till now, I've not receive any news or information about this orientation, no timing, no meeting place. If I did not receive news from them, I'm not going on Monday. So inefficient...
Anyway, I've been reading some good novels lately. Little black dress books are highly recommended. So far, I've read Memoirs are made of this & My three husbands by Swan Adamson, Guys and dogs by Elaine Fox, Step on it, Cupid by Lorelei Mathias, The good, the bad and the ugly men I've dated by Shane Bolks. They are, of course, romance novels.
Shall end here then,
Will update after the orientation...
