Was super fun, I tell ya :)
I arrived at school at 0700 at the airstore and waited for Garry. Waited. And waited. Until he turns up - without his blazer. So I waited. And he came. And he nearly forgot our ties. Then we waited for a cab. And waited. And we flagged one down. And we waited. Joked like crazy all the way to ACSI.
When we got there, the cab fare was a whooping $22! GAH. I'm so glad the school is paying for us. Garry and I exited the taxi to find the place deserted - no guide to take us in? We realised we were late, so we hurried to the audi and signed on the guest book, whispering apologises to the girl bringing us in =X
The investiture was really, really good. Prefects had nice co-ordination, the investiture video was HILARIOUS. Even if I get a copy, I don't think I can post it here, but it was very...creative. Quote, "Latecomers - Gotta catch 'em all!", "Prefect no jitsu!" "BAAANNKKKAAAII" lol. The scriptwriter is an avid anime fan =D
Funny as it is, it can be very serious as well. The master prefect gave an awesome speech, I was like :O wow when he finished. And his analogy of the school being a rope *ducks down behind podium for 10 secs causing confusion amongst us to take out a bundle of rope* was very interesting as well. And their prefects are top-notch of the school - not for the weak-minded. There was a vid of their prefect training camp where they pump, recover, pumping position and yell school cheers in that position. Hiong.
After the investiture we were led out to refreshments, didn't eat anything but just drank. Waved to Jun Kit as he went down the corridor. Then I burst into two verses of the NCC song (sing with me, Garry!) and played scissors paper stone with myself. Sit beside me in class, or attend an event with me alone at your own risk :)
Then DAVID CAME DOWN WITH SHAWN. YAY. They risked getting scolded to meet me :DDDDD Congratulated them once more on their victory =D Then our guide, Shirl, took us all around beautiful ACSI and showed us all it's coolness. Being an independent school, it's facilities are awesome - large libraries that look like public ones, concert theatre, LARGE football fields, swimming complex, etc. etc. Ho gosh.
Then we went back to the canteen, where Jun Kit caught up with us =D Met Tim. Then we hung out in the Prefect's room, writing in many congrats to ACSI air in the guest book, and thanking our hyper host Shirl and my cousin JK as well =D
And the prefects tried to entertain us, thanks =) And they presented the gifts to us - it's a mini tool kit with screwdriver heads and measuring tape - super handy, but not for display in the SLB room XD Garry and I then took a cab back to school to attend the last period of school. I realise this is the first time I spent so much time with Garry in 4 years in the same CCA. Hmm, learned alot about him, it was fun ^^
Then something happened again that reinforced the fact that I dislike my class.
And something's still confusing me.
But I felt better in the store. Thanks guys.
And tution was surprisingly fun. Whoo.
