20th April - TP Orientation
Aha today is the beginning of the official TP orientation for the Business sch. I'm quite relieved to find that on the overall, few people actually went for the optional orientation. Thing is, today wasn't as great a day as I hoped it would have been. Mainly because I didn't find out that much about my course except stuff that is all textbook and during year one it seems like alot of theory stuff...and possibly MATHS?!?!?! so I'm abit Zzz...
Well next would be my tutorial group. Lol...a rather quiet bunch, like me at the start so not really complaining but still, didn't talk much to people today. I also realised that a surprising number of people from VS actually went to TP but I only know them by sight so still alone at TP...Zzz. A surprising number of people enrolled into my course which in short is CCM hehe...but not all enrolled by choice. I think many people's first choice is Tourism and Hospitality...lol.
Ok la, overall it wasn't bad enough that I must skip tomorrow but it wasn't fun enough for me to say YEAH LETS DO IT AGAIN! In fact I'm relieved that its going to be over and that its only lasted two days. For what its worth, I'd say MJ's orientation rox! Haha. Anyway, I also noted that most TP students L1R5 below 15! hehe...there are courses with 8 pts on average! That's like wow. Ok I don't wish to keep this long, so I'll end this here. Hope that I may interact more with my classmates tomorrow.

Nine Elements
Here comes tale of Nine where born by Nature, Earth and sky, beheld by Wind and Storm, come all come all, all in one eye, my eye, mind's eye, all in one eye.
Fire, flame, ember! Dance forth, leap forth! Into the fray! Burn lick leap away! Display thy fury upon the field, cast in golden, orange hues!
Frost, snow, ice! Come, come, winter's sting! Chill, bite and howl! White and blue sparkle away! Beauty, wrath and fury grand, cast thy wrath upon the land!
Wind, breeze, gale! Howl, cry, bellow, scream! Behold the storm upon thy wings! Trees bent, stones fly, mammals flee, people cry! Gray cones come, twist and grow, one great wave, blow wind blow!
Light, silver, gold! Sparkle, glitter, glimmer! Lo water's shimmer! Lo grass' glow! Lo golden sun! Lo silver moon! Shine forth rays a million, stars winking high in heaven!
Lightning! Thunder! Black clouds bunch and grow! Flash, strike, rumble, bellow! Ho light, light the sky! Rip the darkness with thy flash! Break thy silence with thy cry!
Rock, mountain, stone! Silent, solid, standing tall! Oho, bone of the earth! Oho secrets untold! Behold that of greatest lifespan! Behold the lord of the land!
Earth, soil, ground! Hush hear its voices sound! Crack, shake, shatter, boom! Move, move and spell great doom! Come all praise that which thy often treads! Upon that which bears burden of thy weight!
Water, rain, river! Bubble and skip, leap away! Streams and brooks, oceans and seas! Breeding of life, much dear to thee! Forth forth catch the droplets as they fall! Crystals aglimmer, mine eye sees them all!
Life, life, ever so sweet! Aglow with silver's sheen and formless I deem you! Come speed growth of tree, hear the laughing of the breeze! Earth, flower, moving things all and the echoes of mountain's call! Lo life's children! Lo with eyes apart! Behold thy true mother's work of great worth! Thus thou can walkst upon this good earth!
So Nine, indeed Nine of Nature carefully chosen...against darkness that grows, powers of hell against heaven.

So sixteen days have passed since the day of fools and so it draws nearer and in my perspective, it is TP which has come to me and not reverse.
The orientation which I missed by choice, will be described here in short for hurts at heart and mind to speak of. This pain though is not caused by the orientation itself but by the speeches of fun fools, damning me for bearing audacity enough to move against their counsel in an attempt to cast me into the pits of regret. Still of that one day I was there I shall speak but here no excuse will I give to redeem myself (if at true fault I am), for I have none save lies.
For my part, I'd say it was a good orientation, yes indeed I lie not. I did enjoy it to a certain measure and willed myself to come again, despite a month old injury at the base of my foot (caused by falling off a stage after lit play). Ice breakers and station games...what else? The next day proved promising but surprise surprise my cousin came suddenly to stay and such is a rare occurence. Thus I made a choice to abandon fun at TP and decided rather, to have fun at home. Will anyone rail me?
More I shall reveal in the near future, perhaps once before life at TP truly begins...my nightmare, my future, my dream, my life, my happiness and myself. Alone I will begin on this fateful path and whither does it lead? The answers lie wreathed in shroud and is not made known to me. But lo! It will soon be clear...

5th April 2006
The sun rises from the east and slowly goes west, unseen and unpraised in its great efforts. Dark clouds have gathered the past few days. It is a great gloom that covers the land in dark shadow and with it it brings a heavy rain in mid afternoon and all is dark and wet while the wind howls and thunder cracks.
The night before last, I found a game titled Adventure Quest. Although it isn't fantastic, its free and currently seems like a great way to waste time. Ah but enough of that. My mind has been flooded and cleared and flooded again by perhaps foolish and needless thoughts and worries. The greatest amongst those is of course the entry into Temasek Poly which is due to commence any moment now and my nervousness has been escalated by the TPSU (optional but strongly recommended orientation programme) looming closer like the gathering of stormy clouds. Yes I'm not exactly a fan of first-meetings with strangers and I though I feel the need to know more people, there is no thrill, only great nervousness. Its scary and the only thought which comforts me is that I will be studying a course of my liking. Should I go or no? Lol...can't decide and dare not ask for advice also because I'm probably not going to heed it.
Ok I promised to make this shorter than the last so I guess I'll end here :). Goodbye. I miss first three months at MJ, A202 more than the school itself haha. Ppl from A202, keep in touch hor! :D
