new year’s coming.. but i dun really feel it… nothing exciting.. nothing fun.. actually got lah.. but the hostel is so dead now.. v different.. and I dun like this..
maybe just need to wait till everyone comes back from hols.. hope it’ll get better…
well.. at last I’m back at the hostel.. with the nice internet connection in B6L..
After a whole day of welcoming and saying good bye to people, maybe now I can use some quite time to be with myself… Today was really fun.. Trying to get use to the new caterer, the new cups, the new plates… haha, I’ve never realized those small things before, but now that they are changed I’ve just noticed them.
Then met all the people, esp the RTs.. Haven’t seen them for a while.. and this year we got more RTs.. seriously, they are the most enthu group of people I know… I think they’ve really spent lots of time and effort for this orientation thing… And I have no idea how the boarding school is going to manage without them.
About the orientation itself, well…. I can’t really say anything much… In terms of preparation, I can feel that it’s really great.. even though we don’t really have enough manpower.. but there’s one thing I’m quite sad about though… I feel like Harry in the 5th book.. if you know what I mean.. haha.. It’s really good, but I just hope next time things can be done differently… Hopefully…
Above all, there is the people itself.. Sec 1 ppl, first time in
Singapore , coming with their parents who are so interested in everything.. J1 directs.. some are alone, some with the parents as well.. some looks quite fun, looking forward to get to know them… Then of course there are the J1 flow thru.. coming in from their previous boarding school.. some things that they know everything already.. well, can’t really blame them though.. maybe they really do.. haha..
Capsa ad 10 yg k NJ.. wow.. that’s really lots of ppl.. termasuk IP seh.. apart from that, got some other indons also.. but all guys.. huh.. dunno where the girls go to.. Most of my batch mate just came tonight.. vv fun, meeting all of them.. just standing there in front of the GO, talking, joking, waiting for other ppl to come..
Apart from that, of course there are ppl moving out. In fact, there are a lot! Well, it’s really2 sad… really.. I mean, we can always meet some times, but living together in the boarding school is a different thing.. we share the same culture, same food, same hostel shirt.. haha.. moving to another hostel is somehow similar to moving to a new neighbourhood.. need to adjust with the new environment.. I wish all the people moving out will be able to adjust with the new hostel.. even though hcibs is still the best, obviously.. hahahaha.. yea… I dunno… I just can’t imagine myself living in another place.. it’ll be so odd…
I used to think that flying is the most convenient mode to travel.. now, I’m not sure whether it’s really that convenient..
Having been on 8 flights since June (4 return trips), only 4 of the flights were on time. 4 others were either delayed or cancelled for various reasons. The longest delay was because there is problem with the emergency exit. After waiting at the Heathrow for more than 4 hours (I think it’s more than that, but can’t remember though), we were finally told that we can’t fly that night and we had to stay overnight to catch the flight the next day. The next delay was quite short, only 1 and a half hour. The fact that I was alone only made things worse. The next one, my family arrived at the airport two hours earlier so we can check in earlier. But the counter was not open. Or the computer could not get online, or there was a problem with the system.. well basically whatever they say.. one hour later, we were told that out names were not on that flight. Great! Is there anything that they can do about it? Of course not, this is the travel agent’s fault, they made wrong bookings. Is there anything that the travel agent can do? Nope, the airlines must have made a mistake. Well, luckily there was another airlines going to the same destination, but it was only leaving 4 hours later. Guess we’re still lucky huh… Last one, since the cost to fly a plane is getting more and more expensive, it’s ok to just cancel one flight and combine it with another flight. It’s much more profitable, even though the passenger had to arrive at 2330 hrs instead of 2100. Well, the delay was only 2 and a half hour.
So the statistic is 4 delays from 8 flights. Not bad! Hm.. not blaming the airlines.. maybe I should just blame myself from traveling too much…
bored.. v bored.. vvv bored.. i mean, it’s nice to have a long holiday.. but i think this one is way too long.. haha.. hv been home for about 1 1/2 months… and i’m bored..
holiday’s been quite alright.. went to jakarta to see demmi and xty.. that was real fun!!! then went bali also.. that place is kinda quite now.. so sad.. then slack at home every other day.. got so much free time, but not that i’ve done much at home.. supposed to practice guitar, and do stuff for hostel orientation.. yea.. hope it’ll be alright.. got some shocking news few days ago.. huh.. so sad..
wonder how things are when i’m back at the hostel.. thankfully have some new ppl helping for orientation.. great! haha.. really worried abt it.. coz i feel like i know nothing abt it.. i really dun noe what they are doing.. and i seriously feel useless here.. haha..
really looking forward to next year.. the year haven’t started yet but i feel like there are so many things to do… guitar concert… oh.. this one will have to plan carefully.. certainly it shouldn’t be last minute planning.. hope will get good players next year.. then hostel stuff.. election, 5th anniversarry.. some more still got something else i want to do.. dunno whether i’ll be able to achieve that.. but i suppose i’ve got to give it a try.. haha..
at last the holiday is ending and the long awaited new year will begin.. on one hand, it’s really fun to have new things to do.. but on the other hand.. it’s really sad that things will not be as they were before.. this year has been great.. seriously, i feel that this year LOTS of things happened.. all that good things.. and without i even realising it, another year is ending.. that’s the sad part.. maybe i don’t want to grow up.. haha.. will be j1 next year, OMG!!! time really2 flies.. well.. i certainly can’t stop the clock to tick.. so guess i just have to enjoy every single second.. haha..
