Raffles Experience Day 2

Well, today our group miraculously shrunk from 36 to a small number of 13! I didnt expect my fellow groupmates to disappear that fast. I thought that i was quite evil to think of leaving soon.... (but NOT SO soon..), they were better.... haha. However, the remaining chaps were more enthusaistic and it was better i guess. At least for once, I managed to get everyone's name right. AT least...
Today played some simple games like NORMAL dog and bone, win lose draw etc... Honestly, it took me by surprise that many of the international students didnt know the games. Well, a learning point for me I guess. It was another type of fun teaching them the game I guess. Not so competitive also.
At night, we played some games on a tour around the school. Found the walking rather boring... the games were rather ok-ish... simple yet enjoyable. At least for my groupmates. Some of the foreign students are quite nice to talk to. Well, after all, they are here to have fun as well. I guess... That should be the same mentality of us when we go overseas right?
At night, went to Fong Seng... guess it would be a common haunt for me soon. Evil and sinful... But, I guess I will get use to it soon. Well, I guess I just need to hit the track more often to burn off the extra calories gained... Haha
Programme will only start at noon tml. However, I should be going off for Fac Rag... Also for the run later in the evening... Hope Terra stays fun without the local guys. I think we have did our best in trying to make Terra exciting and funky and crazy over the past 2 days... We will be back perhaps... tuesday? haha. Till we meet again...
BUTT. Be United Today Tomorrow.

Cheers

Raffles Experience Day 1

I had always tried to put aside all the weird opinions and comments that people put forward to me. I feel that it is never fair to pass a judgement on something when you have yet to witness or experience it first hand.
However, I have to admit that I was in a state of shock for quite a while when I stepped into the communal hall. I expected that there would be some foreign students as NUS is a global university. However, I did not expect that MANY of them. The number of the international students is more than local students in RH! Gosh... I had to tell myself to calm down and brace myself for another experience.
Although we may be of the same age, or at least the same age group, I just cant seem to really click with them. There is this lack of chemistry... The feeling is not there. Really. It was a totally different feeling when I was with Cleoprata. I got the "let me out...." feeling this time round.
4 pathetic local boys got together and tried to make some noise and be a bit enthusiastic and appreaciative of the effort put in by the RHOC... but in the end, most of us just felt like leaving for one reason or another.
There was this tribal council activity, where we went around finding clues etc... which was ultimately freaking boring and a total waste of time. I totally did not enjoy myself at all. Then it was followed by a judge and council thingy. Well, it was purely a make-fun-of-junoirs-who-volunteered-event. At times, it may seem a bit funny... but on second thoughts, it was purely making fool of people who had stepped forward to offer their services.
Now I am rather receptive... I still need to clear my 2 sem requirement. I still want to live by my motto of "live life to the fullest". However...
Rather sleepy now. Its 0330hrs. Time to sleep. A long day ahead tml. I hope that I will be more positive tml... I will still want to go for Science rag though... I had given my word long ago... So... Too much to think about... Dont think and sleep boy...
