the jellyfish is back.

Experiencia de Magique!


That's JJ Most memorable phrase in my mind, after today's first and last day at JJ. Tomorrow i will be transferring to PJ cos it is nearer to woodlands.

Anyway, this post will be about a day's experience in JJ as a whole newcomer.

It's another crowded day outside JJ at Corporation road, while people are rushing to work via PIE, or there is a silence in Hummings, the jam outside JJ is simply chaotic. Anyway, after entering the school, i was greeted by a girl who asked me to pick one paper from a box, which ended up to be a discount coupon for a pair of shorts. O.O

Along the way to the canteen, the J2 boys were creating warm welcomes "Welcome to JJ" to everyone new J1 people. Met BH in the canteen, then we were asked for a favour to move up to the hall. The hall was super different from the Unity Pri or BPGHS, it has air con! So it was extremely cooling, and i realised that i lost my way and i dunno where to sit. Just then, a J2 boy asked me and BH wad is our OG number, BH said 3, and i went 'huh?'

Never mind for that, i was then sent to a room to find out my OG number, in the end it was lucky number 13. So just sat at OG13, looking at the emcees trying to be funny on stage, where every few minutes said they are pretty (which was of course a joke). ^^

7.40am - Morning Assembly! OG 13 then went down, and stood on the synthetic grass on the field. The principal i tink was trying to be funny during the hairstyle check cos he went shouting to the J2 people just to find a boy with unsuitable hairstyle.

8am - We went up to the hall again, and had some bonding (not covalent or ionic) with other OG 13 mates. Well the names which i could remember now: Weng Kang, Satya, Analysis (how to spell?), Kachi, Andrew... Ar i forgot my OG13 Leaders Names!!!

I think JJ love clapping, almost all the activities today involved clapping, and their clapping really have many levels, normal claps, macho claps, 11 claps, and one particularly disturbing 'tao yan' clap... There are some OGLs who really demoed really well, should give them a 20 / 10 for their effort. :P

Anyway we played some uninteresting games, and after abt 30 minutes, it was time for many many talks.

1st talk - Principal's message. Quite a warm welcome, just briefly intro to JJ and about how the 3 main programmes. His message is somehow not boring, cos there is some humour added inside, like how JJ is an original name which apparently is other ppl who copied the nickname. :P There are other humourous things, like about JJ keeping a low profile, unlike schools which even report picking litter in beaches in newspapers. =.=

2nd talk - School rules' talk. Nothing interesting.

3rd talk - SPA talk. Short and sweet.

After that we played catch the mouse game, and the game was extremely confusing. Just like the concentration game, except this time everybody take turns to continue the chant, "catch the mouse ar catch the mouse, catch the mouse ar catch the mouse, catch, the, mouse, ar, how many? (A number), catch, .... Well nobody seemed to understand that game, but after about 20 minutes, we had another few talks.

4th talk - Scholarship talk. Basically the talk is made by a female teacher, whose voice is highly irritating in my opinion, and she reminds me greatly of Professor Trewalney in Harry Potter. The university school fees are sure scary though.

5th talk - Chinese language subjects talk. I think this is the longest, but the speaker is seriously patient with the noise level, and even tried to lower the noise level by creating some humour, i seriously admire her for using a creative way to reduce noise, normally other teachers would show u the bull face hinting you to keep quiet.

6th talk - The most interesting talk of the day! It was made from a senior senior senior senior senior JJ person, talking about the interesting orientation next week. Well he said that JJ's orientation programmes ARE fantastic, i tink thats mostly true. o.O And he also explained y is there synthetic grass instead of real grass in JJ's field, interesting reason lols. :P

Then it was lunch! Families 3 and 4 (Shoyru and Alex cartoon) went for lunch while the rest of J1 people stayed in the hall for payment and looking at the subjects noticeboards.

at 1pm, it was lunch! Ate a chicken burger and a bottle of green tea and a dark cookie for lunch. Extremely delicious food, and the friendly hawkers made lunch a wonderful experience in JJ.

After lunch, it was 2 more talks, which were both short, sweet and direct to the point. The female speaker made economics seem a super interesting subject, while the Head of subject combination staff explained things super clearly.

at around 3.20pm, there was a minor conflict on releasing me early to go PJ interview, but anyway, i would like to sincerely thank the female OGL 13 for helping me out in the case, couldn't have handled it without you!

3.40pm - Everybody in the hall did the mass dance. Well i thought it was rather boring, and it really proved to be boring, except for looking at the OGLs dancing.

5pm - Rush to PJ!

Anyway, thank you for the OGL and Andrew who gave me a wonderful time at JJ today, i would like to specially thank the male OGL 13 for trying to make me talk to other ppl, and i would like to sincerely thank the female OGL13 (BS) who really guided me through today! ^^

I shall put the BBQ on 30th Jan and the interview EXP at PJ on my other post.

- Shoyru, Alex, Fawkes and Uni! -
