I went for my last Photography outing yesterday! There was only 3 of us, plus a senior, Xiuqi. I used a Nikon because I'm more familiar with it, but when I used the Canon later on I found out that I actually prefer the Canon ha ha ha. We went to Changi with the intention of capturing the sunset, but unfortunately it was cloudy so all we got was this tiny patch of myriad of colours amongst grey.
Woke up this morning with a million texts received, with one being the most important text of all: the notification of the posting results for JAE.
"MOE: Congrats YEO JIALIN JOLENE, you are posted to TEMASEK JC, SCIENCE (32S) under 2008 JAE. Pl report to JC/MI on 20 Feb 08 at 7.30am."I can't say I'm not disappointed that I didn't get into VJC, but their criteria for entry has gone up to a partial 4! :( So I'm just going to make the best out of the worst ha ha, and hopefully enjoy myself in TJC despite the horrible rumours that are circulating around about it. D:
Today is a free day off due to the posting results so I went out for brunch and cycling at East Coast Park! Whilst on the bus, we were gossiping loudly about TJC and Ys was regaling us with random facts about TJC like how it has only 8 toilets, et cetera et cetera. Suddenly, this boy came up to us and said,
"Excuse me but I can't help but hear that you are talking about Temasek. I was from Temasek and I want to say that there's more than 8 toilets there." HA HA HA HA! I was totally laughing my head off! He talked about the canteen food and the campus too, and tried to persuade us that TJC doesn't lose to VJC, sort of. I was too busy laughing at him to listen to him. :D
We kept eating today too, and we stopped over at Geláre for ice cream because of the scorching weather! I absolutely love love love love mango sorbet. :D Seriously. Ice cream is a godsend in Singaporean weather, if I could ignore that fact that it goes to my thighs.
Whilst cycling I realised how amazing ECP really is. The trees, the sea, the sand, the tranquility there is stunning. In a way I find it a pity too because this shows how used I am to the city life, what with high rise buildings, the vehicles and a lot of unnecessary noise. I found myself staring at the planes when they fly over my head and suddenly I wished I had the Canon with me. Oh and I love how the waves lave at the sand! I was being super childish while playing with the waves but no one's there to see me but the girls ha ha. I had really great fun!
On the negative side, I gained a horrible and uneven tan, a sunburn on my nose and arms, and sore legs from cycling. My arms hurt like crazy now! :(
I can't believe that yesterday was my last day in MJC! I'm going to miss everybody so much, especially the people in
08S403! Miss Cheryl Wong is the greatest CT ever. :D
