Jtune: First week of School



First week of school. It had been rather tiring for me, sigh.

7 January
First day of school. It didn't exactly go very well. Went for lessons in the morning and learnt who my new teachers are. And they are really mean and strict. Not exactly pleased with this arrangement 'cause I never strive well under strict teachers ): 

Day One JH Orientation was... weird. I wasn't as excited as I thought I would be.


8 January
Preparation for school tours!!!!! Put up cute lions around the school. 

Had the most fun with (duck)Naufy and Zann. We had to hang up this lion on a tree at the main gate, and we took a hell long doing that, along with lots of laughter. 


9 January
School Tours Day 1 (: 

First time seeing so many people in NJ. Was supposed to be at the face-painting booth but ended up giving my juniors a private school tour and chatted with them till evening. I'm kind of glad the advice I gave them had been sensible to some extent. Don't worry, I didn't exactly tell them to join NJ, neither did I tell them not to. 

Got quite irritated when friends come to my table to convince my juniors not to come to NJ. To be honest, I really don't like it when people always tell others not to come to NJ.

Come on, NJ isn't that bad. Yeah, it's true that NJ doesn't have school spirit, and maybe our school management doesn't live up to our expectations. But seriously, who are you to tarnish our school reputation (as if it's not bad enough already), when you are in this school by choice

YOU chose to be in this school. Even if you didn't, NJ was still one of your school that you applied for after Hwa Chong and Raffles. So I really think it's not right to bite the hand that feeds you.


Ultimately, it will be NJ who will provide you with whatever knowledge you'll need for the upcoming A levels. Just think about it, no matter how much you hate your parents when they scold, you do not go out telling others your mum or dad sucks right?? Likewise, when NJ school management does something we do not like, just (whine about it,) suck it up and MOVE ON. No point telling others not to come to NJ just because you cannot accept what is thrown to you and when you do not have the guts to voice out your unhappiness to them. 

And to those juniors out there whose brains have been brainwashed by the public, NJ isn't what they say we are. Being in a school, which has been branded as a mugger school, for the past one year, I don't see myself turning into a mugger. Go ahead and ask any senior how much they have mugged in SH1, most of them will say 'not much'. Just because you happen to see the dorks donned in our uniform, studying everywhere they go doesn't mean all of us are like that.

We know how to have fun too. Just that we do not go to the extent of throwing parties and getting drunk and wasted. If you wish for that kind of life, then by all means, do not come to NJ. Otherwise, NJ is a good place where everybody's nice and trust me, you'll still have a fair amount of fun in your life. 



10 January
School Tours Day 2 (:

Became the mascot for around fifteen minutes and it was fun!!! It can get really stuffy inside though. 
Headed to the gym to climb for a little while and took a pretty picture!

Gravical 2013. 

First competition of the year.

Really sad over my poor results. Only managed to get one bonus, sigh.

Dislike the feeling of being the worst climber in the team. And I can only blame myself for it. My poor attendance for trainings, lack of physical fitness etc. Results for Gravical just made everything worse.


In no mood to talk about it anymore ):

Before I go, I just want to congrats the other girls who did pretty well, especially Huiyin!! Getting 2 tops in her first competition is seriously, woah. At least there's something for me to be happy about.

For now, bye
