PAE Orientation '08 @ TPJC @ 8:14 pm

Integrating myself into the Malay community back again since 2 years of being out of MLDDS in Cedar. I think, if you find the right type of friends ( for me, it's the enthu-siastic/makcik/kentalans type of ppl) you'll find yourself happy no matter where you go. You just got to identify these people. I'm all okay for the people who really are into following the latest teen trends right down to the skinny jeans and thick mascara but if you don't gel, you just don't right?

Anyhoos more details on my PAE Orientation: I was in Dynosius 15 Family, my OGL is ZIZIE who is also our Family Head. She's really nice (:. The friends I made in Dynosius are Trudy, Marie, Hazim, Yong Liang, JAcky and Farhana. I think, Trudy, Marie and me are quite bonded...and Hazim is like an extra everytime the Student Council Head does the bird call. And then Trudy will ask Hazim to repeat it but louder. Trudy is the most enthu in my group. My other OGLs are Lester and umm....can't remember the rest. I'm in the same family as Amira, Fateha and Atiqah. Husna, Maisarah, Nikita and Syafiqah were in Hera. Syah was in Aphrodite. There were a LOT of ex-gongshangers: Nabilah, Siti Safiyah,Chek Kai, Shermaine, Daniel Neo, Azeemah and I think Loretta Neo was posted there but she didn't register. The families had allies and Dynosius was allies with Aphrodite and Hercules. The families were named after Greek Gods and Godesses. Ex-Cedarians there were: Arini, Raudha, Murni, Afiqah. My ex-madrasah(pri) friend, Atikah Syarah is in J2 there too. Ex-madrasah friend(sec) is Atiqah Luqman.

We had just subject lectures for a week. This week, we started on tutorials. My physics/civics tutor is Mr Sum. Tara says he's a national dancer...you know like for dancesports. He's one of the fun teachers. Thank goodness for that. I just had my first KI period just now and I must admit that I feel very intimidated by the students and the teacher because she didn't let me finish my sentence so she took it wrongly...she cut in and said "You are wrong there". And she didn't even let me finish my argument! Arghh...i was real pissed about that. Now we have homework and the first assignment is about looking around and observing things around you, and then asking about, and then sharing this experience on Friday. I feel like being in IN Crowd again. And by next Monday, I have to complete a 600-800 word essay on "How I Gain Knowledge". Now I think about it, 600 words ain't that long. I'll manage. I'd rather write essays than go around for an unspecific assignment. I have a small fear about confronting strangers. However, once I get over this, I find myself able to strike up a nice conversation with them. BUT I don't know what to do! I have no idea! And for Malay Lit, I'm supposed to find out how Singapore was founded. Plus physics tutorial, I have 4 to-dos now. Haiz...

Last Saturday, I also went for MLEP Orientation. HAha...it was fun enough. I went to Temasek Poly with Marliyana and her sister, Julia after that and bumped into Filzah, Geraldine and Shahini there.
