Time to get outta Comfort Zone

Orientation Camp has come to an end, and we are now scattered like confetti into different classes. Some fortunate souls, like Florence and Amanda, get into classes with our OG members, but others like me are allotted to classes in which we do not really know a soul. It was quite a shock during yesterday's civic class. Among 25 of my classmates, 19 are IPs and they seem to know each other quite well. It was an honest feeling that we shared among our OG members----why don't just let us be together? Haha, that just does not work out!

Upon thinking today, it all seems that yesterday's worries were unnecessary. Of course, it is hard to get out of one's comfort zone, especially when one is with people he or she knows well, but it is really an exhilarating experience to mix with new people with new interests, new characteristics, and new ideas! In my class, the girls are very enthusiastic and outgoing, and the 3 ex-RGS councillors are pretty talented. My best friend is a SNGS girl--she likes Japanese comics and has attended Cos-play during the vacation! The boys, to my amazement, are equally awesome (that's Tat's catch-phrase) They are very willing to know about us, very respectful and gentleman-like. We played ice-breaker games today and everyone was very cooperative. That's Raffles Spirit!

It is my first time to wear full school uniform to school (with badge), and I am really very proud of being among so many awesome people. Now I have to wave goodbye to the old fond days of Orientation Camp and look forward to writing new chapters with 24 brainies and sweeties.

Take Five 12/02/10, I am looking forward to that! And...Class Camp!!!
