I'm definitely going to update on the twelve days. It just...takes time. I WILL POST IT UP. SOMEDAY.
Well anyway, the whole week was practically filled by Sec 1 Orientation, and I can say I really don't regret being the IC for class 1A. Sure, it takes alot of work to get them to be more enthusiastic, but the hard work paid off.
1A got 3rd placing in the whole orientation/campfire. I was so shocked and happy at the same time because I really thought we couldn't get anything. They may be normal academic students, but they're human all the same. In fact, all of them are very smart kids; and I forgot that I was taking an NA class.
Campfire performance wasn't the best, but they put in all their effort, I can see that. The fact that one of them said, "We'll do it for you." made me so touched. Although everyone was exhausted and wanting to go home at the end of campfire, they still stayed and listened to whatever we ICs had to say.
They were all very adorable and I'll really miss them. I'll visit, I promise!

Yesterday night we had a 赤壁 family gathering! We were planning to surprise Joy with a huge birthday card and plenty of presents.
Was supposed to meet up with Qiqi and Zihuan(and Yangqi the uninvited guest), but I was late so we met on the train instead. Just so happens that they were right at door I ran into before the train left. At Toa Payoh(I think), Alvin appeared out of nowhere. Another coincidence.
So, then we met up with the others outside cafe cartel, wrote on the humongous card, and then proceeded to The Manhattan Fish Market for dinner. Told lame jokes and played games while waiting for the food.
Food was okay, quite nice, imo.
Joy came and tadaaah, huge card, presents and a touched Joy almost cried. ;D Xinhui and WanTing even bought a big chocolate cake! <3
Paid, and then left on train and buses respectively. Those who were walking zombies knocked out almost immediately on the train(heck care priority seats lah, sleeping is our priority!).
The end.
