Class outing aside, I managed to meet my juniors~! <3
Malaysian guy juniors, to be exact. They're all coming to S'pore next year, so their existence here will be quite inteeerresssting. There's, apparently; according to April, a mini Jun Lin and Zheng Dong in the two guys from Sri Sentosa. We actually met five of them. I shall list them according to their CCAs for sadly, I do not know their names. One, they didn't take it upon themselves to actually inform me. Two, I suck at remembering Chinese names.
1) Badminton (chinese debate?)
2) Ochestra
3) Swimming
4) Chess
5) Aquatic club (wth?)
Neways, it seems the guy whose in swimming club won in nationals or something. So we have some pretty "impressive" juniors. And they're quite excited, I guess. Though some of them seem to abhor the new hostel.
The new hostel.
On that subject, I would like to express my indubitable love for it! Not as gorgeous as Hwa Chong from the outside, but totally homesy and cutesy from the inside. Of course, I'm pretty sure my current description will fail to make anyone envy me. It ahs a fully air-conditioned computer lab, of which is large and roomy and ideal for my com-gaming. And the canteen is open at almost all times, so no going hungry in between-meals. Not that I do, but it's nice to know I could get proper food aside from the normal junk if I want to. The room is relatively large as well. Not sure about the showers and toilets.
However, despite the double bunk bed; of which I was not quite impressed by, it's tonnes better than what I expected. Than what I was told.
Which also brings me back to the heated debate the parents had (actually, to be specific, CERTAIN parents had) with each other. Note, this includes my very hot tempered father. According to my mum, they screamed at each other the previous night and she practically expecting a fist fight to break out. Note the second, the other party is somebody's very, very, very formidable mum. Do not underestimate her because she is a woman, for she has power like no other.
No joke.
Of course, everything they do for us is definitely out of worry for our safety, etc. But I wish that our parents could just let us be and trust us to be independent. After all, you don't see other non-Malaysian scholars gathering up a committee and organising meetings as such for the welfare of KL scholars. EVEN the Johor/Melaka scholars' parents don't do that. I guess us KL-ians are rather spoilt. Being in a hostel and all, is after all a definite downgrade from the ambience of home, not including the prejudice we occasionally face. But hey, at the very end; it's our choice, so we gotta suck up to it.
But yeah, the tour and the Q&A session was the reason why April and I were late.
