I'm sorry I've not been posting loh (who even reads this blog anyways?) well I think this is my first new year post! So everyone have a HAPPY new YEAR (belated)! Man. Its 7 days from New Year's Day liao loh.
So mainly this post is dedicated to RI! The most wonderful school on this planet. Why I've not been posting? I've been at a 3D2N stay over at RI. ANd it was so fantastic! List of how the NH pplz got split up (last 5 classes some more):
1K - Clement, Zi Jian
1L - Daryl, Tee Yong, Yi Xian, Harry
1M - Bradley
1P - Andrew, Si Kai
1Q - Nic Chua, Me
And so the irony. Now there are a total of 3 Nicholas'es in 1Q. Nic Quek, Nic Chua and Nic Oh. Btw so funny when everyone says 'Nicholas' 3 people reply lols. Its crazy! And I finally met Daryl Tang! Not really the image I expected, but he looks like someone that can blog. He's in 1M with Bradley.
Now I'm going to state the people (whom I know) in my class, packed with 30 filled-with-rafflesian-spirit-adrenaline junkies who shouted thier voice out until they all got sore throats. Here goes for the 10 People I understand most in my class :
1. Benny Gerald Emanuel - The icon and mascot of 1Q : Funny and lovable, this guy always represents our class at class competitons. Loves 5D pornograpic movies, but not so sick-spoken on words.
2. Nic Chua - ZzzZzz.. You already know loh...
3. Wei Sheng - He was buddies with Qi Yuan and Brandon until they went to NH and he went Nanyang. A friendly and sociable person, he's a really nice friend. Not as bad as JH though.
(P/S - Change liao really sorry)
4. Daniel - Wei Sheng's best buddy. A HOUSE fan, he associates everything we do with HOUSE, that silly old eccentric doctor. Just to let you know, HOUSE is airing on AXN on Mondays at 10pm and Saturdays at 12pm.
5. Yong Ser - Believed to be the first friendship I established in my class. Sentimental guy who loves chatting, he's really a nice guy to chat with, like Rei Ball.
6. Wei An - Cheery and bright, he makes the loudest claps in the world. I nearly went deaf by standing next to him. He extremely muscular too (Tell you more later.)
7. Safa - Most hyperactive person in our class he's got the most rafflesian spirit in him. Extremely friendly and nice too.
8. Zaky - Yi Xian Version 2.0 [Malay Version]. He has the exact same personality as Yi Xian. His famous words ," If you're being snatched, scream like a girl!" (I'll tell you why later on)
9. Vicknes - The de-facto leader of the class. Takes initiative for everything that is needed to be done as a leader.
(Btw, he and Benny Gerald have turned into enemies so fast! The first case of enemies in 1Q!)
10. Hong Jhun - We had a staring match one in the canteen. He kept staring at me, and I stared back. Like what Daryl and I used to do. He's funny and friendly. The persona of friendliness and 'funnyness' is present in almost everyone in our class.
Now let's head on to the camp. The first day I was so shy that I didn't dare to open my mouth! But it all turned around during the camp. Here's the itinerary:
Day 1Meeting our PSL (Peer support leaders) - They were funny and ever enthusiastic, but they made us pack and repack our bag a million times. Blek!
Cheers - We learnt some really basic cheers, and learnt the crazy dancemoves for Reach by S club 7 (fyi the senior leading us was so sissy-ish), eg.
Unite Cheer (To the beat of 'We will We will Rock You')Rafflesians unite we show our might!
We show them how Rafflesians fight!
We walk to the fight in green black white
Cos aint nobody gonna break our stride cauz
We're from We're from Raffles [ooh] Raffles [ahh] (x2)
We'll fight in the sun We'll fight in the rain
We'll fight to give our school a name
We'll walk from the fight with pride and fame
Cos we feel no fear and feel no pain cauz
We're from We're from Raffles [ooh] Raffles [ahh]
We're from We're from Raffles [YEAH!]
Yeah! RI Rocks to the core man! You can't deny that!
Blinfolded Walk - We were to go topless and blind fold ourselves with the shirt and parade aroung RI bind and with the PSLs leading us. It went on for more than 1 1/2 hours and I was so sick and tired of it when we had completed.
Then the day passed as we learnt how to sing our batch song, Hand in Hand. It was adapted from the Seoul Olympics. We also learnt how to tie our tie, CCAs and other stuff about RI. We bathed at the swimming complex and pitched a tent in the RI school field to sleep. I only fell asleep at 1:30.
*wakes up in the middle of the night, finds Nicholas Quek meditating, momentaraly stunned, the goes back to sleep*
Day 2O the games were epic. It was crazy. It was incredible! Today at breakfast I hooked up with Yong Ser and we mostly stayed together for the whole day.
Bishan Hike - We went hiking around Bishan! Along there, we played some team-bonding games that fostered our ties. And we had to walk for 30 mins to get from the 1st station to the 2nd! It was beacuse we were the last class, so we had to walk from Station 8 to Station 1, while the other teams when from 1 to 8. Due to that, we only completed half of the hike and no free complimentary bubble tea! But it was fun! ;D
We went to had lunch. Nic Chua ate ravenously as if he had not eate n for days. Our legs all felt like iron and we stank of dank sweat.
Flag Game - We played this game which we had to link up into gropus of 6 pplz + 1 PSL and hold hands. Only one of the students take off their shirt and tuck it in their pants. If any enemy team pulled out the shirt , we die and have to do some kind of forfeit. The 15 sec 1 classes were divided into 3 teams. Our objective was to steal the other teams' flags, which we did in less than 10 mins for the Blue Team! But that we (yellow Team) had a war with the Green team and the Blue team joined forces with them to beat us. We had a tough time resisting them, but we still prevailed and won! Hooray to us!
Water Bomb Game - We had to run across the field and rescue the PSLs and be hit by water bombs. I nearly got hit but I ducked in time but the water still splashed into my pants. And when we got there, we couldn't find our PSLs and the whole class was scattered. It was only 30 mins after the game ended before we coule find each other and make it back to the starting point.
*Dinner. Then we went up to the auditorium to watch a movie. Don't know what the movie is, but it was some basketball coach trying to motivate a failing team. Quite nice, but I nearly fell asleep*
Fright Night - So not fright night. I was only shocked when the PSLs jumped out from behind doors but we kind of expected it. We were like chanting PSLs, PSLs, PSLs and Yong Ser was clutching my hand so tightly. Only Level 0 fright. Blek!
*Went to sleep in the tent again (btw we were so soundly asleep that when it drizzled we didn't even know)*
Day 3 Went to have breakfast. Not really on that good terms with Yong Ser today.
Lectures - BOO! I fell asleep midway though. YEAH! First time I dozed off in school! They were mumbling something about PE and Library...
Finale - Each class had to create an astronaut and a rocket. We did a great job of making each thing and we were so proud of it. And we composed two cheers:
We are from 1Q
We got the IQ
To beat the rest
And be the best
Go.... 1Q!
Shiok ah!
and the water cheer...
Drink water good!
Drink water good!
Drink water very good!
Shiok ah!
We rock! And then there was this quiz which tested us on our knowledge of seniors, teachers and school. Then we cheered and danced one last time before break camp.
Went home with Nick Chua and blogging now... *yawns* so tired will be going to sleep now at 10pm. Good night!
P/S - This is officially the longest post I have ever written! Hooray for me!
