first up, sec 1 sbc orientation was so much better than the sec 3 sbc one. i was a very enthusiastic group leader, leading the seven girls of Group 3! i can remember all of their names. bernadette, tanya, cyy, misha, bianca, ashley, annabelle! aweshumz. they're such a loveable bunch, i swear. we won in poison river and medievel foozball (which was really dog&bone but with no dogs and a netball instead). and my girls were so sporting/brave during the obstacle course where they were blindfolded-- everyone of them completed the trustfall without fussing and even said that it was fun!! i'm so proud of them. oh, then at the last part, which was multi-sports, we didn't have an opponent to play against, so we sat them down and taught them "lifeskills". how low--i mean, how high to wear your badge, how to properly wear their socks, the correct proportions of the uniform. that completed my image of an uber cool senior senior (two seniors because i've graduated from mgs. haha)

it was so awesome that one of them asked me "when will i see you again?" which was so AWWWW. haha yay GO WILDCATS. okay, i suppose i sort of forced the group name on them, but it's cool! and there were no outright objections to the name, so i think everybody secretly loved it. i know i did! 

speaking of which, i cannot believe that results are coming out this friday! i'm still sailing through life with an unreasonable confidence that i will not do badly/will get into acjc! i really honestly have no idea whatsoever where that confidence came from. maybe it's innocence, maybe it's naivety. or maybe just a stupid assumption. but it has always been that way. "how bad can i do, right?" i shudder to think of the many worst-case scenarios that are possible.

then there's also the thanksgiving makan session, to thank God for our results/a good year before we get back our results. i'm super unsure of the details right now because there were extreme suggestions in the course of brainstorming (from potluck to buffet at shangri-la) but i hear that the dresscode = dress! yay!

okay, back to the recount of my day (which is not boring because i had an eventful day and personally thought it was very exciting + alot of fun).

after the orientation was over and done with, we sat around for the longest time deciding on where to eat lunch. and after screaming in frustration (due to sheer hunger and indecisiveness), we ended up having lunch at our very own canteen/food court. i had the spaghetti + mushroom cream sauce (which was exactly what the dish is called) for 1.80 bucks. not bad actually. sze thinks that the portion is small and totally not worth it. okay fine, maybe it's abit too little, but people get sick of eating creamy stuff very quickly, so even if they give a hugeass portion, we might not be able to finish it up! thus, due to their excellent entrepreneurship, they decided on a just-right portion! which i managed to finish, so they must have good estimation.

then, liana jong fong gracechan sze and me went over to queensway via 961 because we wanted to do some backpack shopping (eastpac/jansport/dickies). we met shuyi there and got i-scream yoghurt! which was like 4.80 bucks for a relatively small cup, even though she did give us a huge scoop of yoghurt (and scrimped on the fruits themselves).

there wasn't any satisfying backpacks so we walked over to Ikea for meatballs (which i have never tried before in my entire life) but got so extremely sidetracked that we basically walked through all the exhibits. i love Ikea, the different furniture brings so much new hope (for a new room). and when we finally found the cafe (I SWEAR THEY PLACE IT RIGHT AT THE END FOR A REASON. SNEAKY FELLAS.), we immediately got ourselves a table and bought meatballs. i bought fries too! (see, liana, i eat so much! and waste so much money!) even though i wasn't planning on eating any meatballs, i ended up having four, despite the nine which liana counted. my verdict? AWESOMENESS. esp the sauce! it's like slight cheesiness but not so cheesy that people like sze who don't like cheese won't eat. yumz.

then i just took a bus home and listened to sze's frustrating dilemma. i could only offer a listening ear and no advice because i didn't know what to say. sorry, sze! haven't been in that type of situation before and didn't know what was a good thing to say without making it seem that i was misunderstanding the situation/belittling your concern over something/making you think that you're worrying unnecessarily.

just finished a full dinner portion (OMG I EAT SO MUCH) and i've changed a set of pjs! i have a grey shirt with the peace logo with pink shorts. haha almost similar with my previous set (longest day shirt + pink shorts) except that my previous pink shorts were like rotting. haha so i felt like i absolutely had to change it. i feel like i'm going for a sleepover now, though. haha.

i have nothing to do now. just commented on avril's LJ. am going off to look for something to do now! :)
