i can't promise i can keep this post short, cos there's so many things i wanna let you guys on about, but at the same time it's 10.40pm & i have to get up by 7am latest tomorrow & i need sleep.

so how was my first day at orientation at NYP?

• went to school with Nissa. i'm really lucky she's in the same school as me, SBM. if she wasn't around to accompany me, i'd be so frantic & lost & probably end up crying.



• all SBM students had to wait outside the auditorium. we were there at like, frickin 7.15am when it was scheduled at 8am. but we got a good look at SBM students, with a few eye candy here & there.
  eye candy number one: shy, smiley approachable guy:)



• briefing & introductions to school only started at around ten. WHAT THE HELL. i know, so late. the girl next to me was complaining. she reminded me of Kerri, same built, same face shape, same character sorta. haha. first friend i made. but i can't remember her name oops.



• my OGL, Zainal, is damn cute.:) but unfortunately short. i like his hair. electric shock man!! eh nissa?:)



• cheers. cheering. more cheering. & even more cheering.



• lunched with our class. everyone was almost dead quiet. talk about an hour of awkwardness.



• yeah, i actually know someone named Aloysius. how cool is that?!



• my class has 30 people, out of which there're 5 guys. first impression, very quiet. second impression.. still, very very quiet. i was wondering how long i'd refrain from going crazy & start screaming like no one's business, just to break the silence.



• icebreakers was okay i guess. lightened the mood abit. a few laughs here & there.



• school tour. for some reason we've all separated into our own little groups. i floated around, & talked mostly to Yan Ru (sp?), Beverly, Priscilla, Espal & Yuan Xiang. YX's just like me. we like to snack alot. & she's very vibrant. & she lives in tampines!



• i felt like i didn't fit in AT ALL. i was texting Nissa along the way. i really felt like crying. i haven't felt like this much shit for the longest time.



• Nissa told me the shy approachable guy is in her class. & she has two more eye candy. ARGH.



• Zainal elected me & Aloysius to represent our class as Mr & Miss Freshie for the pageant tomorrow. i told him i'm not free tonight to stay for the auditions/interview.



• met up with our PEM, Mr John Ho. pretty funny & cool guy, he lightened the mood a whole damn lot. i liked his style of communicating with us. he asked for volunteers for Miss Freshie, & when he picked me, i told him that even though i had plans, i'd do it.



• i knocked myself for being so nice.



• mass dance. mass my ASS. so boring. so bleargh. expected better. but SBM have really vocally loud people, i like :) unfortunately, not in my class.



• Mr & Miss Freshies had to stay back till late for interviews. ate dinner with Aloysius at Macs. superly damn cheap. the meals are like 3 or 4 bucks plus only. i can save alotta money, but i can get damn fat. reminder, eat more at cafeteria/bring own lunch.



• made a new friend in the toilet, whom i met briefly before. a fellow Miss Freshie nominee, Nadiah, who's in Biz mgt. she reminds me of Nirosha, same size, same hair. very pretty chick. & like Nirosha, she isn't a minah like what she's close to looking like. haha.



• went to some tutorial class to wait to be interviewed in the next room. people were rushing to get their interviews done first, so me & Aloy hung back awhile, entertained by the year 2 OGLS/SBM Club members who were there advising/crapping with us.



• my turn came. i had to talk about myself in one minute. the moment i entered the room & saw the 3 OGLS who were going to judge me, i blanked out.



• only Sharon was happy go lucky. the malay guy seemed bored, the malay girl was intimidating & didn't look very impressed at all. i was talking incoherently & saying alotta "yeahs" & "ums". i knew i screwed it. i was half disappointed, but relieved that i won't get picked tomorrow.



• Zainal was waiting outside for me. told me to text him the results when they call me later to tell me whether i'm in. i floated my way out of the campus. HAHA.


• couldn't sleep on the bus ride home. but everything passing by wasn't focused. my shoulder ached so badly.



• prayed that i wasn't going to cut it to the final 6. prayed & wished.



• got home at 10.25pm, got a call from an unknown number - one of the OGLS. she told me i was selected to go on stage tomorrow.



• i burst out crying after i hung up. & it wasn't because i was ecstatic.

yeah, so that was my day. i'll be optimistic & look forward to a better day tomorrow. (please.)


goodnight, i'm tired. x
