Alright...So today was my first day at NYJC.
Met Jill at the bus stop outside my place at like 6.40.Took 162 and blah blah blah.The bus we took to school had quite a lot of secondary school students.And not surprisingly,they all alighted at the bus stop outside NYJC.
Today wasn't really all about fun and games.In fact,I don't think this entire week will be all about fun and games.It's called an academic orientation.So yeah.We'll be attending lectures this entire week.Boo.
And I realise that JC life is pretty care-free in the sense that you don't always have lessons at a certain time unlike secondary school.It's like,even though your friend whose taking a different subject combination as you is having lessons now,you might not be having any lessons at all cause there are no lectures or tutorials at that time.So basically,you have to self-study.You have to be independent in other words.
Another thing.You don't necessarily have to report at the same time.For example,if you do not have lectures/tutorials from 7.30-8.30 on a Monday,Wednesday or Friday,then you can report to school at 8.30.But if you do have lessons,you have to report by 7.30.On Tuesdays and Thurdays,if you have lectures.tutorials from 7.30(I think)-9 you can report to school by 9.And blah blah blah.Just in case you're wondering,flag-raising and pledge taking is done at 8.30 on Mon,Wed and Fri and at 9.00 on Tues and Thurs(Only pledge taking is done on these 2 days I think).
It sounds kinda weird right?I feel the same way.I hope I can cope with JC.
Anyway,today was basically about the subjects offered at NYJC.The Principal also gave his speech(expected).I also saw a lot of familiar faces.Obviously Jill was one of them.Then there's Shabnam,Patricia,Erica,Simon,Bryan,Fang Yin,Chong Junn,Yuxi,Chee Chiang,Kelvin Lee,Donald,Josiah,Sarah and Lynda.Peck Hui and Fiona were supposed to be there but I didn't see them.Haha I probably just missed them since there were like so many people there(Jill and I calculated.There's supposed to be about 792 people there).I also saw some primary school friends like Brenda and Tracy.It's nice to see familiar faces =)
We were separated into OGs(I dunno what they stand for,but basically,they're just groups).I was in OG 28.We were all separated.But thank goodness Jill and Patricia were sitting beside me(their OGs were only 1 number apart from mine).We were taken to a tour around the school.Their campus is huge.We went to the library aka the Drum(due to its exterior shape I think).Then we went to the Science Blocks and the CCA/Fitness or Sports Blocks.I'm already pretty familiar with the school since I've been there quite a few times for the Immersion Program.But still,it's huge and I'm not surprised if I got lost.
We went back to the hall and the teachers told us about the subjects NYJC offered.And that's about it.Lol there was this boy who was taking off his jacket in the hall.Unfortunately his uniform kinda hugged onto the jacket and his shirt got pulled along.So when I accidentally turned my head to look the first thing that came to my mind was that he was gonna strip in front of hundreds of people.LOL then Jill saw it too and we were laughing hysterically.A nice way to end the day.
Oh yeah.We were told that we could renew our EZ link card so that we only have to pay the student's fare.And that we'll be refunded for paying the adult's fare so far with our card.I know this applies to JC students.I forgot about those who are going to Poly =P My apologies.
These are some pics I took there.There's only 3 cause we were moving most of the time.And it was really sunny that day so I couldn't really take a good picture.



Well I gtg select my subject combinations.Really having a difficult time since we have till tomorrow at 1pm.And since we have to go to school tomorrow,we have to finalize everything by today.Hope I make the right choice and not stress myself out again -.-
