Orientation day 1
Thursday, January 28, 2010
6:45 PM
Read till the end. Its quite interesting.Today is the first day for this INNOVA noobie. Met up with Jojo and Syafiq at Woodlands MRT station which were packed with students from different neighbourhood schools in their respective uniforms, waiting for their friends. Saw Ustaz Ruzi from a distance, and a couple of Irsyadians. We took bus 901 and everybody in the bus, the newbies, were glancing around everytime the bus halted at a busstop. Seems that nobody is sure of the way. So I signalled the girls, Jojo and Syafiq to alight at the 4th busstop. Everybody followed suit. The first thing that caught our attetion when walking towards the college was the music which was coming from the school speakers. The songs played while waiting for everybody to settle down were Bad Romance-LadyGaga, Kiss me thru the phone-Souljaboy, Down-Lil Wayne and some other songs that I have never heard of. Well, something to get used to. Saw a Maarifian, a girl (duh) named Munirah. 2 Aljuneidians, Ilyas and Waliuddin. I knew Ilyas from tahfiz. Checked our names on the house list. The houses there were labelled using names of the constellations. Sagittarius, Aquila, Rasalas and Taurus. All of us Madrasah students were placed in Sagittarius except for Munirah who was grouped into Taurus I think. From the house Sagittarius, we were divided into smaller groups called comets. Me, I was in Schaumasse with Arif and Jojo. The assembly was definitely different from Irsyad's. We have national anthem and the pledge as starters for the day (take note: the national anthem is the original version :D). We then attended a talk, briefing us about subject combinations and stuffs. And it really changed my mindset. I NOW DONT REGRET TAKING PURE SCIENCES AND ADDITIONAL MATHS. They help. Seriously. Had our lunch. We then had icebreakers among members of the same Comet. (get use to the namings). We had cheering practices, mass dance (I'll talk more about it) subject consultations. Prayers were done. Yeah. No worries about that. Okay. The mass dance. The song used was, idk the title. Is it 'Fire burning'? Or '911'? Okay nevermind. The important thing is that you all know what im taking about. They were asking us to pair up with people of different genders. So we were like, "ahhh nak keluar." but they didnt allow. Jojo and Syafiq escaped by going to the toilet. Aljuneidians went for solat. As we already did our prayers, Arif and I avoided as much as possible. But in the end, we were just practising. Pairing up, not today. It'll be tomorrow. Need to think of something to avoid the ridiculous mass dance. Then we sang the school song. So anyway, it was a new experience. Although I looked forward to coming back home. Not adapted to the new environment yet. Bought P.E. t-shirt. Uniforms tomorrow. Oh and not forgetting the generic calculator. Wooooo~ Something cool. Hahahah. Went home by boarding 900A. My mind was already planning things for school. I need a new pair of shoe. Oh and these are my 2 choices for subject combinations:- Compulsory subject: H1 ( General paper. Project work. Mother tongue. )Thats all then. Tomorrow will be a different day I guess. (?? ofcs la different) I mean, a better one. Till then friends. Bzzt---* |
