Not bad for a rookie.

I walked to SOASC from SAS for the first time. Crossed the first road and had to wait anxiously to cross the second. Coincidentally, Ashif's car stopped for me to pass. I'm guessing he was going to get dropped off at the school entrance, but instead, he went down and together we walked to school. Slowly, I am beginning to blend in with the people in SOASC. It's not a bad place to be in after all! This morning, I had five free periods straight! Ashif and Sahrul had classes in the third/fourth period so I was left alone in the library - reading Singapore's True Ghost Stories or whatever it's called. Haafiz was there, but I didn't bother to move because I was lazy and cold. We then headed down to the canteen a few minutes before break. We sat at our usual place while telling old stories during our primary moments. Ahh, I miss 'em already!


After break, I had Bahasa Melayu with Haafiz and Khaliq. Too bad I'm not in the same class as Sahrul. It was my first BM class and it wasn't so bad. OH! There are two other students who has similar names as I do! One was called Hadi (spelling?), but the teacher called him 'Hadi Nakal'. The other has ALMOST the same as my name, but just a little change on the spelling -- Ak Abdul Hadee. Lol. After two periods of BM, it was free periods all the way until dismissal time. The teacher wasn't in for Combined Science. I still wonder where he is..

After I crossed the road to SAS's area, I had to use the toilet. Some surprisingly said hello. One even touched my shoulder and waved even from a short distance. Sweet and caring people of SAS. ♥ The primary section has changed, I could see. They've set up some sort of louvers as shades/designs, I guess. I don't know how to describe it well though. I should've taken a picture of it, but that idea didn't come to mind.

Meet-and-greet.

Third day of school (supposedly the second, but I skipped it because my hair was long) was amazing! I had a meet-and-greet session with a few of my classmates (including the three stooges namely Nasrul, Faiz and Yazin) who came up to me and introduced themselves. Others recognized me, but skipped the intro. When I first stepped in the class, everyone was looking at me like as if I was in the wrong class. But slowly, Ashif told them that I'm new there and that I was his classmate back in St. Andrew's.


Also, today I started my Combined Science and Commerce classes. For Combined Science, the class was crowded because students from other classes joined in as well! If I'm not mistaken, the teacher head counted and got 57 students as a result! Boy, we definitely need a bigger venue. I didn't get the teacher's name because he didn't introduce himself properly, but by looking at the way he joked around with all of us earlier, I think he'd make a great science teacher! As for Commerce, only a few students were in and the teacher's not so bad. A new friend, Faiz, who never took commerce in his entire life because he took computer instead, sat for the class. Surprisingly, he answered most of the teacher's questions asked. Lol. Funny guy.

A few minutes before break, I chilled out in the canteen with Haafiz and Haji Khaliq. They had no classes (except for after break) so I joined them, because I had no classes as well, until we talked our way through break (not exactly). Lol. What is up with me and brackets?!

In the last hour, I went to the library with Sahrul, Rae, Ashif and Ameer Husaini (Ashif's long lost brother. LOL!) He's a good guy. I look forward to improve our friendship - and so goes to my other mates in 5R2!

Officially a SOAS student.

I couldn't sleep well last night because I knew I'd be wondering what it would be like if I started school today. I had a fresh shower. Putting on the uniform felt good - what more to say about the tie. I'm borrowing Fikri's "OL" tie so I needn't to worry.

I have to say, first day of school was great! Just as soon as I walked out of the registration room, Sahrul, Ashif and my cousin, Rae were there to fetch me. I got to meet my old friend, Haafizilah. Been a long time, pal. I even made friends with the new guy too! His name is Shane. Hard to believe, but he has already got 5 Os in his hands and yet, he still goes to school. The reason why? He said that his parents are not -- satisfied with his results. I think this is most common to some parents, or not. By looking at my timetable, I have LOADS of free periods because I'm only taking 5 subjects. Today, I only went in one class which was English. In fact, the English teacher is pretty awesome too! His name is Mr. Robert. He's funny and lame, but a cool teacher to have. No doubt about that!

Only had three periods of English and the rest, well, we just stood around. I'd hate to say about what happened today. Something dreadful happened. Word will go around. I don't know if it's me or what, but coincidentally, fights happened just when a new guy came to school and had his first day; me.
