Hey, I havent touched the blog for a few days, pretty much because I was always busy online doing one thing or the other besides blogging. Orientation this time round really bores you to pieces with the first 3 days being totally academic orientation, starting tomorrow the fun begins, but I have a bad feeling Athens is not going anywhere anytime soon. We have unmotivated people, none of the OGLs are to blame for that, even though they aren't as charismatic or endearing as the first intake OGLs (they are trying) the people just dont care, and see that they are "losing face", "wasting time", "making a fool out of themselves". What then about the OG? Instead of 28 people, we have say 5 people and 23 [censored for certain audience groups] dont-know-whats.
Academic combinations screwing me over isn't helping either. Now that they've revised the combination requirements I can no longer take Geography im forced to take on History. Leaving me with History and Econs again, naturally im appealing to take back literature and work extra hard like mad into it. We had talks from the local Unis' today, NUS, NTU and SMU. Very interesting I must note (although the NTU person really very boring = nice nap time) and I have a clearer idea where Im headed (kind of) I only fear intense insane competition- meaning Im doomed wahaha =x booya
So many people miss SR, and I miss so many people who were from SR. People who were from Thebes Gamma, some from 1A02, some from other places I didnt know but knew by familiar sight. I miss the OGLs fussing over us, I miss them motivating us to give our all, I will forever remember the moment Thebes was announced the winners, I miss the times we totally won in games, I missed the time we gloriously lost, I miss the extended periods just sitting around the library planning things, I miss the feel of that standard in my hand, I miss heckling with Chye Keong over who's going to hold the standard, I miss taking pictures of anything and everything, I miss my first college dance, I miss learning the mass dance with people who actually put in as much effort as they could muster. I miss Thebes Gamma, now that Im in Athens Alpha, things are so different, it does not even feel like the same school at all.
It's all about the people.
I feel so sad now. Bah, I just had to think back. I dont think Ive ever had a better month continuously then the January of 2006. I will eagarly await the day that record is broken until then, the 18 of us. (Writing this from memory) Me, Ck, Tammy, Yong De, Fadhil, Hatib, Gerard, Boon Chye, Shawn, Michelle, Liming, Christabel, Qing yu, Xue yi, Shirley, Yijin, Joanna and Joan (the last 3 were tough, I didnt get it by memory-- so sorry) along with Ching Hwa and Seng Peng have a special chapter in our lives, that short one month or so, especially that one week we were one. We were Thebes Gamma. If I can help it, I want to be a OGL at the end of this year, just to re-live the magic-- any chance is not too great to take.
Ps. the new Thebes absolutely rot, they mutilated our excellent cheers and image, I think Corinth with their excellent OGLs will take 1st palce this time, Athens? Rot la--
