Bode'Wadmi- Day Four
Alright, thank God today's whether isn't bad. We went to the grand stand for the briefing for the second game and proceed to play. At first i wanted to throw the water bombs 'cause of insufficient people. But as people volunteered i decided to run.
When we proceeded tot he starting point, Alex went up to me and started talking about running as though i know a lot about running. He started to know my past like me running for sports day last year. He asked me whether i could run fast and i juz answered 'quite '. So i just asked him what was it that made him think that i could run fast, and he began his explanation. He said that since he is in the track & field team, he recognises the different types of calves. So let me get to the point: he praised my calves as of an athletes'!!
I was so happy 'cuz nobody has ever praised my calves.haha.
Well maybe the shape of calves is like that because in primary skool i was in athletics(i was a pathetic runner, seriously) and that now i run when there's an emergency(RC people are first aiders mah...)
Anyway, today's wargame was quite though. We had to like run pass human walls formed by our team members and our opponents alternately. For the first few times i managed to pass them. But later it juz seems quite impossible. In the end, i didn't score any points, but getting wet and running all over is fun enough. haha.
After war games, we got changed and went to the nearest mosque(in Woodlands) which was near the Woodlands checkpoint. The mosque was quite old(like Ansar in Bedok) and I didn't really like it there though. I hope theres another mosque other than An-Nur. Btw a councillor(Hanafi) led us to the mosque. I really should have known someone was having nose bleed. At least i could apply first aid. hmm...nvm he's alright...
After prayers we walked around checkpoint area. It was nothing much but just an old place with not many interesting shops. We missed clan meetings btw. haha.
We quickly made our way back to school and went to the CCA fair. It is today that we signed up for a cca. I knew what i was going to choose. Anything watersports =)
When i was at the hall, i saw a very prominent banner. It says 'Red Cross Humanitarian Network'. haha. I did thought of joining RCHN but i think i'd go for watersports. And guess who i saw?! DOREEN MA'AM! haha... Its been a long time since I saw her. I greeted her and she said 'hey!what are you doing here?don't you live somewhere in pasir ris/tampines?' haha... Then she tried to persuade me in joining RCHN and told the J2 that i MUST join RCHN since once an RC cadet, alwaes RC. haha.
Too bad they only have one watersports cca- Canoe/Dragon Boat. Well canoeing and dragon boating is quite ok. Alex kept on telling me to join track & field saying i have the legs. haha. NO WAY. I only run when there's an emergency =)
After dinner, was the BOOMBA nite! woohoo. Boomba nite is the orientation nite where the clans gather and celebrate. Also, the bets clan would be given the Golden Maple Leaf. I hope Blackfoot wins it!
The nite started off with the entrance of the principal and the emcees. Then, the four tribes presented their item. Firstly was Miccosukee whoch was quite impressive. Then Walla walla's was less impressive but good enough. Now i don't think Blackfoot can win. But we'll see. During Dakota's item, we went 2 the back of the hall and stole time to pray. It was raining then. Blackfoot's performance was engaging in that the last part involves the participation of the whole hall audience; that is the FRIENDSHIP DANCE conducted by KHALDUN! woohoo!
it was quite difficult to control the crowd-duh its like at least 500 studEnts. in the end it was fun.those who NEVER heard of friendship dance(thats sad) can now dance.then it was time to gr00ve!YAY...this time grooving is better than PRSS prom =x
haha...cuz its wif a larger crowd, there's spotlights and the deejay was cool. yes fine wtv farhan tpjc has 987 deejay but SO what?! lol
dance
groove
dance
hit nose
ouch!
bleed
bleed
toilet
really. it was quite funny though =x anyway fadhli, me, khal, nizham, faiz, heider, alex(the whole gang of us) were dancing in a circle. then fadhli put his hand up and suddenly hit alex's nose. ouch. 'im so sorry' 'nah its ok'
and then: 'n0se blEed!'
i rushed alex to the toilet at the back of the stage and applied first aid. this nose bleed took a long time to stop though. anyway he was afraid of this punch cuz he once got hit by a zooming soccer ball and thus fractured his nose. but thankfully his nose was still alright and not crooked whatesoeva.
unfortunately the gr0oving had to end.i was damn sweating l0r! haha..anyway the OGLs then treated us to anotehr mass dance by pink. ian the president paired up wif this hot gal. haha. wtv. i tink this dance is better than the other mass dance('its so easy'). the moves are cooler but u have to be paired up lah. mebbe thats why they didn't teach us this mass dance cuz it wud be messy for freshies to find partners. n same sex partners would be t0tally wEird. hmm.. dance dance. we thought it wiuld end just like that but then the OGLs continued by dedicating songs to us. they sang songs while playing guitar. gosh it was so nice. this councillor hanafi sang well man. he cud like reach a higher pitch voice or wtv u call it. damn impressive. i found out later that he's from choir. not surprised. OGLs shud stop this. its preventing me from going home. going home is not fast alrite. approx 45/50mins frm woodlands to tampines. thank god they ended it. we went back home. we as in easterners. yup. its me n khal frm PRSS, masselia frm TKGS, faiz frm TKSS, heider frm East Spring SS n nizham frm Dunman SS. we easterners shud stick together. go skool together etc. i juz hope they all stay after Os results are out. hmm...

Innova Junior College Orientation 2005
Bode'Wadmi- Day Three
After assembly, we handed in our subj. combi forms and went down to the grand stand for mass dance. woohoo! its so easy. That's the song. Its quite easy indeed though.
After mass dance, we had our Boomba briefing followed by the clan meeting. Boomba is the name of the orientation night. I heard that there's no campfire. Thats sad. Anyway i hope its gonna be fun.
During our clan meeting we invented our performance. In the end, a group of Northlanders came up with an idea. It sounds great, but i dun know how well it will bring us to the success of getting the Golden Maple Leaf. The GML is a prize the clan will get for being the best clan. That's according to legend. It is said to possess magical powers. hmm...really?
Lunch wasn't really great cuz i couldn't eat, but i met 2 new friends via Khaldun. Best of all, they're easterners! They're Nizham from Dunman sec and Heider from EastSpring. Intitially, i thought Heider was Hydil but pronounced wrongly by pple. haha. And i got confused whether the Dunman guy is Khairul or Nizham. Then i found out that he is Khairul Nizham. hahaha. i thot i was wrong!
Unfortunately due to bad whether, my clan and another couldn't play wargames 1. Only the other 2 clans managed to play. But fear not, theres another wargames the next day. woohoo!

Innova Junior College Orientation 2005
Bode'Wadmi-Day Two
My sister said that the second day of orientation is where most of the fun activities would be done. Not true though. It's all talks and talks for the whole day. Thank God i miss almost all of them.Nope i didn't play truant. In the morning i went to National Dental Centre(NDC) to put in spacers. What it does is that it moves some teeths away from each other so that the next stage of braces can be done. The feeling is so uneasy. It's like flossing with a super thick dental floss. Probably about 1mm thick. geesh. Anyway when i returned IJC, i had to walk all the way to the front gate at Champions Way. Firstly i walked the wrong way. So i had to walk more. haizz. But thankfully Faiz was there to accompany me. Btw Faiz is this guy from TKSS and from my orientation tribe.
Did i mention that i missed a bus stop when going to skool?causing me to end up in Sengkang? It's like this: NDC is at outram park. So from there i took the train to woodlands. True enough. Then i took 161 to skool. True again. But because the bus stop isn't directly in front of IJC and i didn't know the distance from IJC to woodlands, i missed a bus stop, leading me to Sengkang via SLE. haiz...
I couldn't eat much for lunch. After queing up i saw this girl staring at me from the corner of my eye. I looked pass her and she's still staring. So i looked at her in the eye. EH! 'Are you frm Temasek?' Indeed it was true. It was Bao Zhen. See i remember her name though she didn't. haha..I've met my long lost primary skool friends. woohoo! haha...
After break we went to the hall for a super long subject talk. I regret returning to skool.haha...

Innova Junior College Orientation 2005
Bode'Wadmi-Day One
Me, Boon Ern and Khaldun coordinated with each other and took the same bus to IJC;168. The bus came at about 7am and the journey on the doucble decker bus was about 35-40 mins depending on the speed of the bus. After leaving Tampines Library, the bus went to a few more stops in Tampines(say about 6-7 stops...) before entering the TPE. And whoosh we went to skool. Actualy i shouldn't use the word 'whoosh' cuz the bus wasn't travelling fast. We then went to the Seletar camp after about 15minutes in the expressway and returned to TPE/SLE for another 10 minutes of travelling before reaching school.
Unfortunately the bus stop isn't directly in front of the school. We had to walk a distance to school. Probably like from Tamps. MRT to Tamps. interchange. Yeah. So good luck to people like me on rainy days. From far(and later near) the school looks marvellous. Duh its a new school set up last year(2005). We went in the school and hang around the canteen area. Then we moved to the parade square. When we were told to assemble, i could see the disorganization of the 1st Student Council and Orientation Group Leaders. They were holding papers that has the orientation group number written but the SCs and OGLs did not raised the cards. Instead they just stand around and talk among themselves. Later, we were told to line up in rows of 10. Hello?Like how many of us will cooperate? And it'll make matters worse when we proceed to the hall later. Btw, we saw Ms Yeo!haha...
The flag raising ceremony was odd. The commander said 'school sediya!' when it should be 'maktab sediya!' rite?I mean thats what most JCs do.
Anyway after the flag raising ceremony we proceeded to the hall and settled down. Ms Yeo started talking about the school and i found out what our school name and motto means.
Innova= a new(in-) star(-nova)
Ad astra= to the stars
School emblem= the blue waves symbolizes water(continous learning-i think), orange line symbolizes something like fresh or vibrant i think and purple star means eagerness to learn i think. Also its like a torch and it is in the figure of '1'.
The names to our Orientation Group number were revealed-both clans and tribes. My clan is Blackfoot while tribe is Atsina. Basically clan is like houses while tribe is like group. yeah. After moving to our tribe, played ice breakers and received our orientation bag(an M1 bag with stuff including IJC bottle and shoe bag and 2 Bode'Wadmi shirts-mines green), we continued with the programme, that is mass dance!woohoo!They used this song that has the lyrics 'its so easy, its alright...' I don't know the title of the song though. Anyway it was quite fun and easy to learn.
After mass dance we had our clan meeting and then lunch. Unfortunately there's only two halal stalls.haiz. Other stalls include western delights, thai food etc. I bought mee siam for lunch. It was quite spicy even after i removed the sambal(chilli). wah seh. We report about 2 and played the station games. It wasn't quite lame and we enjoyed ourselves.
Day One orientation ended at about 5. Tiring but fun.

Prom Nite 2005
Shining Stars
Tonight was one of the most memorable days of my life. It was the first ever Prom Nite for Pasir Ris Sec. School after a period of silence for about 5 years-thanks to the 9th and 10th Student Council EXCO-hehe. Anyway I went to Orchid Country Club via Hakim's dad's car with him and Khairani. I quite thought i was disturbing their privacy.haha. The journey wasn't quite long cuz we went via expressway.
Upon arrival, we left the Mercedes car with glamour. I straighten my coat and went up the stairs. Btw, I wore a brown-cream striped OP long sleeve shirt, an olive coloured pants, a coat that felt like a carpet and has some shiny beads arranged to form the letter 'J'-i ironed that myself and a brown Puma shoe. So basically my colour theme is BROWN.and its shades.
We then proceeded to the ballroom.Sorry. A function room rather. It was quite small u see. We met up with our friends shook hands. Farhan's dressing was so cool! It doesn't fit his personality but who cares?he looks like Jon Bon Jovi seh. And yet he didn't like his dressing. He claimed that it was informal when the rest wore something formal. Hakim and Farhan should switch their outfit. Hakim's rather rough u see, while Farhan should go for formality. Hmm.
Anyway we treated ourselves with the buffet when Mdm Mariam came up to us. She should wear something more stunning tough.Anyway she was kind to tell us a place to pray. YAY. so we quickly finished up our food and proceeded to another room. It was our responsibility to inform the rest of the prayer room. However dissapointment came to us. BIG dissapointment. Can you believe it? OUR Muslim people actually would rather watch the performance than pray?OMG. One guy even shook his head which meant 'It's okay'. Humble my foot! Geesh. In total only 4 pple prayed there. Me, Hakim, Farhan and this sec5 guy i dunno his name. truely dissapointed. Well girls are quite excused cuz i dun think i saw a telekong(used for girls to pray) and they have make up on etc. To the rest of the guys who didn't get the news im so sorry cuz we have to beat the 8 o'clock dateline and we thought that pple would be smart and responsible enough to spread the news.
Anyway i enjoyed prom. For sure it was better than my pri. skool's cuz we get to grooved and there's a lucky draw. Wasted my camera battery went flat halfway through the prom. All 4 batteries aye. Food was nice but i didn't eat alot. Cuz time was spent grooving, chatting and sipping coke/sprite. I didn't have much soft drink-bad for ur health.hehe. Wasted i didn't win anything during the lucky draw. Farhan and Hakim got something.
Anyway prom was fun lah. I don't mine having an encore.

Thailand trip Day 6
8th December 2005
We didn't do anything much today. Just breakfast at the hotel restaurant, packed bags and checked out. The trip from the hotel to the airpor was VERY long, my sister slept during most of the journey. haha. We checked in and got in line for immigrations check. Soon later we hanged out at the gate and ate some fruit chips. Quite nice. When it was time, we boarded the plane. I went to the toilet once during the flight and found out that the plane has many empty seats. What a waste, but who cares?hehe. Unfortunately we ate the same thing we had when going to Bangkok from Singapore and i listened to exactly the same music as when going to Bangkok, in the same order. Dejavu. hahaha. Upon arrival at Singapore Changi Airport, we went through immigrations faster than the foreigners and took the cab home. HOME SWEET HOME!!
now, must prepare for tomorrow(9 dec)
PROM NITE 2005!
woohoo...
