It has been rather long since I last posted on this blog, particularly because I was rather busy with other stuff (: And so lots of things have passed, including the HCIBS Chinese New Year Celebration, which Chen Yang (the I/C for the event) said was rather successful. I'm glad that the PA/AVA team was independent for the first time ever. They didn't need my help (I couldn't help them anyway, since I'm at Malaysia at that point of time).
The decorations for this time's CNY celebration was rather extravagant, with lots of fancy things along the stage as well as the backdrop. Many thanks to the CNY Committee which worked day and night a week before the event to see it through.
To be frank, my home-coming back to Malaysia was rather boring. Ever since my grandmother passed away 2 years ago, there has been little or no relatives coming back to visit us (yep, my house is the "kampung", so "balik kampung" = my house). So the house was rather quiet for most of the time. It's quite sad, and thinking of the times when more than 30 people were in my house at any time could have caused me to cry.
Since Singapore's CNY holidays only lasted 3 days (officially 2 days, just that Hwa Chong added on another day), it was a rather brief homecoming. I didn't actually visit any interesting places beyond few friends/relatives' houses.
Just before the CNY holidays, there was also an "IP activity", a revision programme for Integrated Programme students to revise their Sec 4 syllabus. The programme was rather boring, although I did like the lecture-tutorial system that I would be experiencing shortly in JC life later. It was just the content that was rather dry (probably because those were old topics).
Also, I took my KI selection test. I took it just for the sake of "trying" (: The paper was rather hard >< and it talked about the construction and nature of knowledge using the Western and Eastern approaches. The selection paper consists of only a 2-page passage, and 2 essay questions of not longer than 450 words. I literally wrote "crap", since the topic was something that was totally remote and stranger to me.
This year's Hwa Chong Institution Orientation theme should be "REV-IT-UP!". I saw the council banner at the back of the SRC (the council banner painting area). Hahah. Rather interesting theme; except that REV-IT-UP has 3 syllables (which means I will need to adjust my cheers to contain 3 syllables, since the ones I know best only contain 2).
Looking forward to Orientation soon!
