I had my "Induction Day" today in the morning. My very first official school day in South Island School. I reluctantly woke up at 6.00a.m., start to prepare myself for school. My mum demandedme to leave the house at 6.40, when the school bus is only going to arrive at 6.55.. = = She insisted to tag along to ensure that i on board the correct school bus safely ( 好丟臉阿! 我又不是小學生! = =")..
The bus reached school at 7.30, but school starts at 8.00.. Then I stood at a corner of the IB centre, looking at those unfamiliar faces.. I seriously felt so uncomfortable and outcasted. All those students were like talking among themselves, while i'm so isolated. I hate it man! I miss my besties.. Recalling how it used to be.. Sigh..
We sat down for talks after talks.. It was really boring n dry.. I almost fell asleep.. T.T
At around 9:45, we were finally released to our own tutor groups, filling in those CAS forms.. STUPID CAS! We are supposed to complete 50 hours of Creativity(dance, drama, learning some other language, music, fashion show) , 50 hours of Action ( Sports), 50 hours of Service(volunteer work). I'm like so dead for CREATIVITY N ACTION! I'm neither a creativity person nor a sporty person. I'm so proud to tell everyone that i dont know how to play soccer! People go like "What the Hell!? *Speechless*"..
I followed Brian around today.. He is really a nice guy from my tutor group.. He brought me around the school during break n lunch.. Accompanied me the whole day, I really gotta thank him a lot man.. At least i didnt feel not that "odd one out".. I've gotta say the lunch is way better than HSC n Meridian!
We took a quiz later.. SIS pupils are really amazing.. They are damn smart! They can answer questions like....
"In which year is diet coke invented?"
"How many countries do the equator pass through?"
"Which country has the oldest flag?"
"Which capital is the nearest to the north?"
"If you travel west of Paris, which shore will you first reach?"
"Which country other than UK, doesnt have their countries' name printed on the stamp?"
Okay.. I couldn't answer even one out of those 50 qns? = =
I'm stupid! Singapore's education is really too rely on textbooks? Everyone just study the textbook and know nothing about the world outside.. Sigh..
We have like interhouse swimming trials on Thursday.. Damn.. I dont wanna swim, but everyone are required to participate in 2 EVENTS!
God bless me! T.T
Hope i can adapt to the new school soon..
and I wanna go out on mid autumn festival with....
