These two words tend to sum up what RJ has been like so far. Being surrounded by the fairer sex for the first time in a long time is uncomfortable to say the least. Thankfully for me, I have had the privelage and pleasure of being a member of a great OG and a rather lively class. I love my OG, seriously. They are all so nice people, and enthu, and heart-warming. The few times I get to interact with them are the highlights of any day.
I don’t know what it is about RJ, everyday I feel emo + happy + sad + excited, and I never want to go home, which gets my parents rather pissed. To think I used to scoff at Choon (sorry dude) coming home so late. But at RJ, you get the sudden urge to socialise!
Today was rather nominal. I got through physics without completing the tutorial (not due to tardiness but a complete non-understanding of base units), and we finally received word of the mysterious RJC building challenge: Trebuchets! That will be something to look forward to. Oh yeah, we finally completed the first Math chapter, so thank god knows who, no more “Here in this case!”
Well I had sectionals after school, and for those who aren’t well informed, I’m one of four J1 tenors, of which two turned up. So basically it was me, the guy from River Valley and two J2, one of whom happened to be our chorale chair… So they were really nice, but it was nerve racking with so few people in the room. We went through Warm Up, as it was the only simple score we had available as (stupid me) I had forgotten mine. Takeaway: My pitching should be fine (I think), but gosh, I have no rhythm! Hopefully, just hopefully, this venture into Chorale turns out to be the right choice. It seems ok so far, and there are untold benefits of being in Chorale, beyond just the joy of indulging in my passion.
So, after Chorale, silly me, I go help out at HH fixtures! Gah, as if I’m not getting home late enough! Still, it was enjoyable, and I discovered that my productivity at churning out cut clock hands was proportionate to how much I sang while cutting! Too bad Eugene was there to ruin everyone’s day with lame softball jokes when I was talking about pitching, argh! We finally completed everything we set out to do, including a white horse that originally looked like a mug with a broken handle, which after some magical touches by yours truly, turned into a magnificent representation of our beloved Hadley Hullett!
Speaking of Hadley Hullett, the blog is almost breaking 300 unique hits in just 36 hours! Keep it up guys! For those less acquainted: http://hhrulez.blogspot.com/
So after we were finally done with the fixtures, it was late enough to stay out for dinner. Ended up with Eugene and a new friend, also a friend of Jong’s and the self declared photoshopnoob (I would think otherwise) who designed the Happy Hour banner, Huiwen. So I finally reached home at like 9.30, and tutorials were the last thing from my mind. So guess what happened next! Yay, I decided to start a blog. Hopefully this one works, and people actually read it.
Gah and my heart is still fluttering, very much uncertainly…
