Orientation and school finally started, despite my reluctance.
On Tuesday, I went to my new class 3K. And there was no one there. Except one guy, just sitting there. It was expected as I had met Krystal outside on the way, and apparently it had already been her 2nd time around the level. Everyone was still hanging out with the same friends, chatting outside the classes. It seemed kind of ironic, and awkward for me. I wandered around for awhile. And soon, kellyxians started to gather in the 3L class, since it was empty. I finally saw how relieved I feel to see someone familiar, and whom I can talk to.
Gathering at the hall, was another lonely business. Since I was the only girl kellyxian, I didnt know anyone. I sat through the flag raising ceremony rather quietly, nearly dozing off. Going back to class, I hoped that I can make new friends.
Luckily, a girl asked if she could sit next to me. If not, I would be just sitting alone i think. She was Joelle. Yeah, the OTHER Joelle. haha. We only chatted occasionally. Just getting to know each other. In front was Shuwen and Hannah. I recognized Hannah from level camp.
Next, we got to the ice breakers. Frankly, I think that the ice breakers was really quite useless. Though it did help me remember some people's names. But not get to friend them. I lost to Dion, I think this is how her name is spelt, and had to take an M&M choc. It was red. While waiting for our turn to carry out our 'punishment', I chatted with Karon -again i'm not sure about name spelling-, which was mostly quite fun I guess. Then Beatriz and Levi came, and we chatted some more. In the end, I didnt get to carry out the punishment. But I ate the choc. :)
Then went back to class. And my spirits started to feel a bit better. We needed to choose a class name. I personally wanted Kiss N Tell, after all those suggestions. In the end, Kissel got chosen. -.-
We proceeded to the hall. It was the briefing for the sandcastle building. 3K was really quite disorganized, as we were supposed to split into 3 groups. But the facils didnt tell us, so technically, it was their fault. -_- During the discussion, it was just a really cold atmosphere. With people fiddling with their hands, and people talking amongst themselves. And no ideas were coming out, which was making things harder for the supposed leader. Then, I tried to contribute some ideas, after some 'persuasion'/'nudging' from Huiyi. :) Then finally, things started getting a little better. We finally got an idea for one sculpture. Though there's supposed to be 2 ._.
Afterwards was lunch. I met up with Yuan Wen and we went back up to class then went to canteen. Bought from a new Western stall. The food is nice, but expensive. :( Met up with Nicolew, Pamela, Suting and Genevieve. Nicole started complaining, to which Yuan Wen and I agreed with and added onto. :P
Gathered at the auditiorium for the telematch briefing. Sat beside Beatriz and Suichun.
The telematch was really quite fun, and really bonded most of us i guess.
First was the potato game, which we won. I went for both rounds. And even though it was hot, it felt fun stealing potatoes and ripping lives off people. heh. I had to apologize to a few people for ripping their lives though. >.<
Next was the answer or squeeze/ chair game. I was the one answering. Most of the questions were lame, or the answers were wrong. I really pity the people up there, with which 6 of them are guys. Poor things. And it was funny to see Yohanes being hugged by 2 guys. o.O
Third was the table soccer game. It was fun, but our class suffered a terrible loss. 3-0? Anyway, our class guys didnt really helped much, and they werent really sporty, which obviously didnt help the game. But the class that we played with was really really funny, which helped lifted the spirits up. I laughed a lot. I got rope burn though, ouch.
Fourth was captain's ball. We played against A and N. We won the first match, which was quite easy I guess. But all the boys from that classes started playing in the second match, including facils, so it made the whole thing quite chaotic and reeeaaallyyy competitive. And Valen was the defender -.- so obviously it made things harder for my class. And he snatch so much that Levi got hurt. D: So we lost in the end. :(
We skipped one game. Though most of the classes did as well. Overall it was really fun. If the sun werent so hot. xP
Gathered at the hall for debrief. Afterwards, we gathered back with our old class to collect our orientation tees. I was genuinely happy and super relieved that I could finally gather back with 2K friends. And to finally get to talk so easily! Everyone was just ecstatic :)
Met up with 2K for dinner after being dismissed. We camped outside the MRL, waiting for others.
I think that half of all that I have talked that day must have been with 2K people. Just sitting that with the wind blowing and talking was simply fantastic.
Argued about where to go for dinner and finally, decided to go Suntec City.
Ate at Aston's. Played cards while eating with Nicoleg, Xuhua and Bryan. Xuhua and Bryan kept cheating at the end, which was irritating. But the first few games were really quite fun :D
And to quote from Bryan to Yohanes, "Dude, you are supposed to eat the whole steak. Not swallow it and vomit. Are you a cow?"
And had to settle some things with Grace about the cabbing problem. Seriously, I really cannot stand people who just crash in on something and expect to be given priority, even though they are the extras.

Wednesday. Today.
Cabbed with Grace, Jingwen, Yuping to East Coast Park.
Queuing in classes didnt really help as I wasnt really close with the people in my class. But after a loooonnnng time, I got into the conversation between Karon, Jaime and Shermaine.
We took off our bags and shoes and set off for the beach. The beach simply reminded me of 2K class outings, where most (or maybe all) were held at beaches.
Building the sculptures were really the hard part. There was A LOT of arguing, with nothing CONSTRUCTIVE being done. I was trying really hard to make them see my point of view/ suggestion, but I gave up after a while. In the end, we changed the whole design. -.-//
But in the end, we managed to finish all the three sculptures. :D
Played with the water and took lots of pictures.
I think I kind of get what this sand sculpture building is all about. There is a lot of labour involved, so teamwork and cooperation is really needed. Just like the case of us, when we were arguing. Everyone has different ways and perceptions about how we should build the sculpture. And sometimes, the design just doesnt allow us to build it, using sand. So planning and discussion is essential too.
We got to eat ice cream too after the whole sand caste building ended :D
Met up with 2K people to eat lunch. Again, argument about where to eat. I decided to just sit and wait for them to come to a conclusion. Parkway Parade was the conclusion.
Nicole, most of the guys, and I went in a different direction from Krystal, Gen, Pamela, Yuan Wen, Valen, Xuhua. In the end, Nicole and us reached first.
The guys except Xuhua and Valen ended up eating at Yoshinoya, while the rest of us ate at Ajisen Ramen. -.- Somehow, we always end up like this. ._.
Played bridge there while eating too. I won all rounds except 1. While Nicole won all. Pamela won some. Yuan Wen won none. haha! Suting and I also took some indecent/purposely-scandalous photos of Yuan Wen and Valen.
After that, we went to Koi and bought drinks. Then, we went back home. :)

I finally realised how much I miss and love my class through this class change.
After 2 years, we are finally going to be separated. I cant bear it, and dont want it. :(
12 girls and 14 boys. It's the perfect combination. <3

I am not looking forward to studying tomorrow. sigh.
And I will be having AEP on Thurdays, which means I will miss shufa.
Hmm, wondering if I should quit since I wont get the CCA hours anyway. And I really feel like joining Photography club, that is if their activities are not on Thursdays. :)
