On fire.

First day of orientation today.

New classroom, new teachers (although we haven't met them yet), new modules, new year, but the people are still the same (somewhat), and that's what's important.

Finally managed to elect Ryan as mentor rep for this year (God help us, but it's going to be so funny), along with Leyi. Mr Yeo was nice enough to let us do it, even though Ryan wasn't so happy about the matter.

Learnt the first half of the mass dance, and had a house meeting which was filled with super lame fire jokes.

It may sound weird, but our idea for an evil Santa from hell on a Fibonacci-slave-driven chariot (on fire) wielding a bondage whip (on fire, but the idea got rejected) and a sack full of dynamite (also on fire) got accepted, with a bit of compromising, of course.

It'll be awesome if we can pull it off though. We'll see how it turns out tomorrow.

Talked to the juniors again today, and found out the poor things were super homesick. It's funny how we felt as crappy two years ago but feel completely at home now. We know that it sucks to be living in a different country with no family or close friends, going to a new school where you don't know anyone and everything's different. It's a horrible feeling, being alone. That's why we're totally empathetic.

Time, that's what it needs. And a lot of friends and lame jokes.


Long day tomorrow, and I need some shut-eye.

Night.


P.S. Getting more adept at 'Munchkin', which makes us oh so nerdy.
