27/1/10
Today is my first day at Victoria Hall. Sounds awesome already, doesn't it? (in the most sarcastic way possible) Considering how similar it seems phonetically to the awe-inspiring Parry Hall, it is much much different. Sure, Parry Hall beats VH in such that it actually possesses a gym, an amazing feat indeed. However, it must be noted that Parry Hall does not have a normal human sized table, a shelf, proper sized rooms, and best of all; their own personal toilet per room. Or so I thought.
Because later on, I realised personal toilets aren't that fun.
Especially when your roomies don't lean towards to hygiene freak type.
My parents were horrified when they first saw the toilet. I was, kinda. But considering I was expecting something a little similar it wasn't too bad. Still, it was enough to spur me on a shopping trip to Giant (Parkway, wor) to get gloves, a brush, the cool spraying disinfectant thinghy and assorted other cleaning materials.
Fun, right.
In particular the scrubbing the toilet bowl stuff, when you see icky stuff getting stuck into your brush and you don't actually want to know what exactly they are.
But the people! (excluding a certain minority) They are fantastic fantastic fantastic so far. I mean, I met quite a few people that I never expected to see; which is super cool. And so far, we seem to click? I hope. Teh love!
You should have seriously seen me before I went to the boarding school. I was like this heap of shivering mass of nervous wreck. I couldn't like act naturally when I went to XMS to see all the teachers. I WAS SO FREAKED OUT because this time I really didn't know anyone at all.
I mean, scholars. Since I'm staying in that particular boarding school for two years.
But but! It was okay la, the seniors so far all super friendly. Problem is, I can't exactly remember their names - a problem I always have at new places. I'm in the process of memorizing some people's names by keying their numbers into my phones though... Working semi-well?
I LIKE VJC ALREADY. YAY.
(bt i dun really like my orientation. i pthink. BUT MY LEADER IS SUPER COOL. =D)
EDIT 12/2: I TOTALLY LOVED ORIENTATION AT THE END OKAY.
