ORIENTATION: JAN INTAKE 2013

Had to reach college before 7am for THREE days. Gah. Sad life of a student council member.

We helped out as ushers on the first day to make sure the 1301s don't lose their way. I kinda enjoy the feeling of being a senior and a part of the college. The 1301s were a BIG group. They were like maybe three times the size of my cohort? The auditorium could not comfortably fit all of them. So the Ausmats had to go to the Chapel and we did a video transfer thing. Can you imagine how pack is Pre-U society gonna be like with all the cohorts?

On the first day, we had to stay back to help out with the treasure hunt. One of questions was about coming to us and let us give them marks based on their attire. I loved that part. Haha. We had fun with the students by giving them different tasks like citing our names and posts, singing songs...etc. I don't know whether the students think that we're evil, but I hope that they understand that these are just a process everyone had to go through during their orientation. I remember being given tasks like this too but it was just a simple one like finding out two of their names. I guess we're just a lil bit more 'fun' than the previous council. Haha.

We introduced ourselves to the 1301s on the second day. Many of them still don't understand how the student council functions. Just like me when I first came to MCKL. I didn't understand a thing about this until orientation camp is over. I'm glad some of them have already have that desire to become a student council member.

We made them wear school uniforms on Friday morning. Those who don't have school uniforms have to either borrow from their siblings/friends or wear their clothes inside out(of course, this doesn't include their inner garments). Their cohort were considered very fortunate cause their morning games was only a day. I remember for my cohort we had to wear school uniforms on the first day and our clothes inside out on the second day. I was expecting the Jan intake to be very active and noisy because they were a big group. But they were so quiet. o.o We divided them into three groups, one at the foyer, another at the agora and the last group at the basketball court. I was helping out in the basketball court. They were the biggest group yet they made the least noise. I took pictures of those being punished. Haha. Cute 1301s. :D

They're writing 'VERITAS VINCIT OMNIA' with their butt. xD

I better get back to my studies. Exams starts next Tuesday. Abigail, FIGHTING! :D

2013 A NEW START

28 days since i last updated my blog. I missed the post for Christmas. I should have expected this when I decided to blog again. I'm not  a constant blogger and I clearly know this before. But since I started, I don't want to give up.

21.12.12 The world hasn't end. Life goes on with more QUESTIONS. How would 2013 be? Will I be able to get a scholarship? Will I enter Taylor's University? Will I regret taking a law degree? 

Two families from Singapore came for Christmas this year(correction: LAST YEAR) along with my grandma . It was fun having them around. They really enjoyed the karaoke system my dad bought. We sang everyday after dinner till midnight. Cousins that came were all girls so we all slept at my room. The feeling of having a lot of people around me is really good. That also explains why I normally hate long holidays. Its because I hate the feeling of loneliness. Another uncle of mine also from Singapore came a week before Christmas. But I only spent two days with them. Christmas seem so short this year. I love Christmas and it was always the best day of the year. However, this year's Christmas isn't as interesting as the previous Christmas' I had. I suppose I forgot the most important thing which is also the main reason why we celebrate Christmas. Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I suppose I neglected this. 

This is what we cousins did for Christmas :D

I got a headphone from my sister for Christmas. The headphone is super expensive. O.O My sister has always been very good to me. But I have not done anything for her yet. D: My parents got me a CD player for Christmas too! I love the CD player very much. My BEST friends got me chocolate! A accessory hanger from my uncle, a snow globe from Sam, more chocolate from Pastor's wife and a special toothbrush from Sg Buloh chinese methodist church. My sister and my parents gave me presents that total up to be more than a thousand. Its really a lot for Christmas. I'm afraid I'll get spoilt. As the youngest child in the family, I know I'm a bit spoilt. And I always feel bad about this. But I got more this year. Hopefully, I can control myself. 

Very soon, in 8 days I will start my A levels exam. And I know I should be well prepared by now. BUT I'M NOT! Very disappointed with myself. Am I able to make it in 8 days? Will God punish me with bad results? God has always been very good to me. He gave me miracles. But I don't know how to appreciate it. I feel really bad sometimes. I don't want to disappoint my parents and my siblings. I should do better! Should work harder. 

Tomorrow and Thursday will be the Orientation day for the 1301 January intake students. Friday will the day for their morning games. Argh. Have to go college before 7am for this three days. I will need to study in college. I need more self control!!! 

Going to stop blogging during my exams. And hopefully I will remember to blog after my exams! :D

Dear God, please allow me to get closer to you this year and to continue to trust and have good faith in You. Also, to achieve good results to honor your name and not forgetting to have more self control and be more discipline and hardworking. Amen.
