Bus-stop

Was at the bus-stop opposite KAP this evening, waiting for the bus to go home. Saw loads and LOADS of students from all kinds of different secondary school, some of which colour combination triggered no response from my already degenerating n faltering brain.

Brings me exactly back to the same time 2 years ago, when I went to HC's orientation. Not realli a memorable one for me, i can onli recall certain moments from here n there, being scolded by our discipline mistress there on my very first day( I believe i was sleeping n leaning against the back wall of the LT during her talk ); went absent from school for one day during orientation, my first in my educational career but unfortunately nowhere near the last; the 'fun' games played, which on hindsight, is realli stupid.. ha; saw the quiet sides of some classmates which now ceases to remain silent anymore.

Being an extreme introvert, orientation activities realli have no effect on me. As I saw classes of pple bundle off to KAP, i was wondering: was anyone like me? Is there anyone who dreads going out with a bunch of pple u met for the first times, yet still, out of courtesy, follow along? IS there anyone who goes in the name of not being antisocial, yet was hoping that u can scram soon n enjoy the comfort of being alone?

I c no point in orientation.. it is too arranged, too fixed: this is ur class, u jolly well get along well with them n get to knoe them in the first few days. I say So? so wat if this is my class? I dread being with pple i hardly knoe, acting alll friendly when i know dat no one is deserving enuff yet to be considered one. I hate it when i behave in a way i knoe is never typical of me. An introvert can be an extrovert, but only by his choice, to pple he deems comfortable to crap with. So pls dun force me to be with strangers. Give me the freedom of choice.

Of course I would like to think that Orientation is meaningful, is great... which on hindsight might sometimes be, the crazy things done, the cheering until the voices r hoarse, the games which made the body tired n dirty.. they let out the side of students rarely seen--- the insanity, wildness, madness. Yet, despite all these making orientation an event that will forever be remembered, somehow, i still will feel veri unnatural. I will rather introduction be done on a personal basis, by the students own initiatives instead of pre-arranged thru orientation.

NS n secondary school ( i might be wrong) doesnt have orientation, does it? Y do i have more frens from NS and sec school den from JC? Hmm....
