I've been ACfied...

Hi! I'm back from my absence of 4 days. This past week has been really tiring, due to the ACJC orientation, AKA Brainwashing. It was a really fun experience as I made a lot of new friends. On the first day of orientation, I felt really bored. But as the days passed and we finally reached the end of the programme, I started to get more and more enthusiastic until I was finally enjoying it.

During the course of the orientation, we were made to play numerous games which involved us getting down and dirty. For example, during one of the games, we were made to crawl across a puddle of Mud. Games like these really helped us to bond as a group. Another thing which really helped us bond was the mass dance. Everyone of us were made to learn the dance and to dance with a dance partner of the opposite gender.

At first it felt strange as I hardly have the chance to dance with girls. But in the end, I really enjoyed it. ACJC has many CCAs and I'm still unable to make a decision about what CCA I want to join. The school has 3 Tech related clubs so I'm unsure which to join. It's unlike my old school which has only one IT Club. But i don't think I'll be joining two CCAs like during my secondary school days as JC life is supposed to be more stressful and the workload is much greater.

During my four days of Orientation, I have gained much insight into what JC life is all about and have experienced many new experiences. For this, I have only the J2 seniors to thank. So to end off I would like to say thank you to all OGLs (Orientation Group Leaders). U've all been a great!

22 hours into the new year...

Time flies really quickly, we're already into a new year. Tomorrow is gonna be my first day in my new school ACJC. Somehow, I don't really feel scared of anxious. Afterall, it's not my first time in this sort of situation. I still remember my first day in FMSS, four years ago.

As for resolutions for the new year,
1.)I want to have lotsa fun
2.)I want to makes loads of new friends (This is Imperative for 1 to occur)
3.)I want to learn loads of new stuff
4.)Need to excel in studies
5.)Survive to make more new year resolutions. Haha!


The following objectives are mine, as Bryan beseeched me to do so.
1.) Quickly get used to the new environment
2.)Make plenty of new and good friends
3.)Excel independently
4.)Do well for studies
5.)Learn, learn, learn
6.)Do not forsake fellow Singaporeans
7.)Live an exultant life over at Canada
8.)Do not leave this blog to rot

Moving on, I just got a new external 500GB HDD. YAY! Its a Seagate FreeAgent Pro, with a Firewire, USB2.0 and e-sata interface. Comparing this HDD to my old HDD, the price is really a bargain, only $270 compared to the $300 I paid only a few months back.

I spent the whole of yesterday finding a shop which sold this particular model, with Wilfred (My Friend). It might have been due to the Christmas sales that this particular model was sold out almost everywhere. Nevertheless, I still managed to find the HDD at one of the shops in Funan.

Comparing the new Seagate HDD to my old external HDD, the Seagate really has a much better finish, the seagate has a cool light which slowly glows brighter as you turn on the HDD. What I like most is the fact that the seagate allows me to use Firewire. Firewire might have a slower speed than USB2.0 but it actually is better. This is because Firewire is able to bypass the CPU, it has its own Bus. Thus, USB uses more system resources than Firewire.

Anyways, before I end, I would like to wish all of you an extremely Happy New Year! May all your wishes and dreams come true! Lols, unless its an evil wish. Haha! GdNite!

All the best in the new year,
Bryan
