04S51...A whole new beginning

First time meeting my new classmates...well, i must admit that i am not really prepared to start school...well, i'm still in the mood to play...today, marked the first official day of lesson...in addition, i met my new friends and classmates...amos, amy, wee hon, charmine, chim keng, deborah, dennis, doreen, elaine, eva, xing loong, guo xian, yuwen, jocelyn, jia xin, yin jin, louis, marcus, ruth, seetha, sophia, yun feng, nazia, san san, yan liang, wilson, and sue li! C.T is Mr Edmund Koh...a Chem teacher...Attended assembly, house talk, gp and chinese lectures...as today is the first day of lesson, we ended school reasonably early and well, everyone was of course ver happy...

At the beginning

We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(chorus)
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A Wonderful journey

I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(chorus)

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

(chorus)

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

Reflections for orientation...

After going through 5 days of orientation, i guess the saint spirit is already rooted in me...all i hope for is to stay in SA after my 'O' levels results are released...i never had so much fun in my life...really, SA is well known for the bonds among its pple...be it among students or teachers...everyone is so nice at SA...i hope that the friendships we forged will last forever and i'll continue to make new friends...and of course, study hard and do well for my 'A' levels next year and bring honour and glory to my school and in God's name! Thank God for making Saintestralis a success!

Saintestralis...

Fifth day at SAJC...last day of orientation...enjoyed myself so far...got along really well with ny new friends...Had space time and family time in the morning before breaking up for finale preparation...my og is in charge of the masot and by popular demand, benjamin is izzan's masot...he's going to be izzans' banana man! our og story plot is really hilarious...we came up with it ourselves...so you would have guessed that it must be something ...well, ...different! During breaks, i checked my new class...04s51! same class as yuwen, nazia and deborah...no one from my og is in the same class as me...sad...anyway, finale was fun...izzan won the best banner design award...Saintestralis came to an end at 10pm...8th Jan 2004...I'm never gonna forget this day...

Saintestralis...

Fourth day at SAJC...Fourth day of orientation...in for another day of fun and wet games...had a seniors meet juniors session as well...there's also the gathering of Christians and Chaplain's hour...learnt some other dance as welll- namely the chicky dance, Achar dance and the Open House dance...Dance...dance and more dance...today's games were more fun and were wetter than yesterday's@ oh yah...I was so tired yesterday that the games we played yesterday were actually gathering clues to solve a mystery... erm... a treasure hunt! Yep, that's right...So, let's just back track a little... after lunch yesterday, Caleb came rushing, in panic, in shock and then all the councillors gathered at the back of the hall...while the emcees tried to divert our attention, it was useless...everyone was looking at the back of the hall, trying to guess what was happening...In the end, Caleb announced that Kenneth had died! For a moment, there was silence...then, Caleb announced that we were supposed to find clues as to how Kenneth had died! Chay!!! It was then that we realised that we were tricked! So, that's how yesterday's games started! After school today, our og went Harbourfront Mac for dinner... Caleb could not join us as the councillors had to clean up the school...poor councillors...

Saintestralis

Third day at SAJC...Third day of orientation...prepared for a day of fun and wet games... feel especially recharged after yesterday...played indoor games and dance before lunch...and after recharging at the cafe, we changed and played outdoor games...og 16 is ready and all set to become the best og...i really like our cheers...though the games were wet, they were fun and aimed at building bonds and strengthening friendships...after a short debrief, we all went home, feeling tired...

You're right! Sleep!
