Today is my LAST day of attachment!!! I am really relieved... not that I hate attachment or anything it is just after 4 long weeks during my holidays I sort of feel exhausted... Our class had break first, then attachment... I personally like it better if we have attachment first, then break... Then at least when i go back to school I will be more refreshed... Haha... Now I feel tired in all aspects... I better rest during the week and restore all my former energy otherwise I cannot face year 2...
This morning on the bus i saw Kavi's sister, Anita on the bus again... Haha... I talk to her and I got learn quite a few things from her... She told me she is excused from attachment today as she is senior student mentor for orientation... haha... I should have accepted the offer to be student mentor then i can skip my attachment ... haha... last time my class chairman got ask me whether I want to be one, but at that time i was mentally stressed as I was the project sub group leader and I was nearly almost dying... Haha... Then I was thinking if I haf become student mentor I would hopefully be in charge of fiona's class... haha... that will be sweet won't it...=)
This morning it rained... i remember last year during orientation it rained in the morning of the orientation... I went to orientation with my sec. school friends Verna and Violet... and on the way I made friends with there friend Taufiq... ( I wonder how Fiona is... i hope she can make friends with her class mates...) When I went to my new poly we were all seperated into different lecture theatres. All I know I was in the same lecture theatre as some one that had been in the same class as me for 4 years in secondary school... Her name is Qian Ru and we dun really talk to each other much... Can't seem to be able to talk to her... (haha... off topic liao)... Then i was really blur... I got lost trying to find toilet... I remember we were made to line up in our groups... That was the first time i saw Alina... i think she was the first to come or wat... (as usual). Then we just intro ourself for awhile and kept on smiling at each other... we did not know we in the same group at that time... After that I went off to the lecture theatre leaving her behind . In the lecture theatre the person sitting beside me was called Chan... My first impression is that she was not very friendly as she never even smile once when I spoke to her... I did not know she was an enrolled nurse working in IMH and she trained to be fierce looking... haha... I was quite bored as the only person beside me was Chan to talk to as I came super early... I got talk to my student mentor who was very friendly... Then I ask her all the things about my time table and she tell me about all about her attachment ... i was so fascinated... I found out Alina was in the same class as me but she kept on talking to eveline and I was seperated by Chan... so I ended up talking to the ppl behind me (I can't remember who they are).
When the program started and they started distributing all the free goodies such as thermometer I remember Alina kept on helping me (Do wat... i also cannot remember) My first impression is that she is a very helpful and sweet girl (I still think so). I think our year orientation program was very boring as it was affected by SARS and all the students cannot gather in the Auditorium... (at that time it was also under renovation)... We even had to watch this 20 minute show on medical handwashing... haiz... SARS period...
During lunch we ate in the Canteen... that was the time I really got to talk to other ppl... I realised that there were alot of ppl from China from my class and i talk to them mostly as they were very quiet and looking quite lost... When i was eating the person across me was Hafiz (the would be class chairman... haha.... we sabo him). I thought he was so sweet as he helped distribute all the food... I found him very soft and helpful ( easy to bully type... I still think the same way). Then after we all finish eating he helped the aunty clear all the boxes of finished food and clean the table... i saw him so poor thing how can I not help... Haha... Everytime we enter somewhere he would always hold the door for all of us and would be the last to enter... At that time I remember i just commented if i have a son, I want my son to be like him... funny rite... but true... someone with good up bringing...
When the student mentor was bringing us across the school I was trying to talk to everyone in my class... some were friendly, some were cold... some I could talk alot of stuff with them... some I could not even think of wat to say... haha... i remember Jenny got tell me she found me so sociable and cute as if I knew all of them... haha... but I really cannot remember jenny during the orientation ... only vague memories of certain events...
Then our whole of group 30 (the "last" group) went to a room where we intro ourselves... We suppose to tell nursing is our what number choice and the classic question - why we join nursing...(Sometime I really dun know wat to say when ppl ask me that question cause i answer too many times)... I only can say I never regret putting it as my first choice even though my parents at first dun really like it... (Maybe the classic question I will answer some day in my blog). Haha... There are alot of events during orientation that i forgot but I really formed some bonds back then already... I also feel the same as Fiona... My class is sort of seperated into 2 groups... the quiet and the more outgoing one... I can't say i belong to any cause I believe in flitting here and there once in a while... I mean we are all one class... i think wat group we are in and wat ppl there are is not for us to pick but at the most we can do is make the most of it... cause whether or not we like it... we are stuck there with them... I hope my friend Fiona will not be too affected by wat happen in J.C last time and just move on with life... Remember if you really cannot mix around with your class at least you still have me... Haha... Your senior... muhahaha... another word of advice is i hope you write you own story for this new chapter of your life and dun let the main character give up... haha... I dun really know wat I saying... i sleepy already...
