Friday
Volunteered to be a house psl on friday for the Bayley house day. I must admit, although the exco aren't as convincing as Poo Yi Hong and Adnaan's team of jokers (i mean it in a good sense), Bayley is one of the nicest houses to be in. The teachers, for one, are ultra-hyper kind. It's probably part of some yearly tradition to sponsor lunch for 100+ sec1s and SLs, and this year, they even bought cartons and cartons of canned drinks. I don't really like the housemistresses, though, they are kind of intimidating. Haha.
It was quite fun haha, we basically facilitated the icebreakers and played this war game with the sec 1s. Interestingly, the sec 1s, probably under the mega influence of Paul Tern, have a surprising amount of respect for seniors. I was kind of expecting the sec 1s to be like being all pissy and cynical like some people from 1L last time haha. Maybe the free lunch (Kampung Istimewa/ Million Dollar Makan's ri-famous chicken bryani) helped. The war game was also surprisingly successful, unlike the war game during s3 orientation, and the war game that was a mega DISASTER during the sec 1 GE camp at Sembawang BB Camp. Somehow everything seemed to go right; no serious injuries also haha.
Oh yes, I'm sorry, Hwee Leong and Stuart Christopher Lee and gang, but your year was one of the most shi bai for Bayley. For one, the theme was so COPIED and we couldn't even have any pride to go around parading like.. SHAZAM, which is the theme of Shan Zhi's prefectorial campaign. I mean, remember the Rath of Ra? That was quite cool, and other people though so too, but Shazam? A dubious theme of dubious origins, and what does that have to do with yellow? You guys are nice people and all, but bleah.
Ok, so this year's theme is Lionheart, which is a lot better than Shazam haha. Except for the ridiculously hard Lions cheer, I think Bayley will go and own Hullett, Moor and Morrision; Buckley might prove to be a surprise this year. Like maybe they'll finish 1st after like.. forever. But the chances are like.. 0.0"
House Day was very fun and enjoyable, especially cos we helped to paint the huge banner! (2L/1L has so much Bayley spirit, don't you think?) 3L has the most Bayley spirit yayyy. Haha kidding. But Geoffrey, Me, Zhongren, Matthias, Paul AND Ian came down to help as SLs. Thats 6 out of less than 20 sec3s!
Haha, after house day, caught a TAXI to training, $5 gone, only to lose to Han Lin during selections. I can't stand it, the set scores show nothing about your skill, haha. I lost COUNTLESS sets 9-7, 10-8 and 10-9 to people like Han Lin, Bryan Nah, Michael Chee, Stuart, Marcus.. argh. Totally CRAP. Anyway, after that went to eat dinner at sg (serangoon gardens la, not singapore; sg is a subset of s'pore haha) then took bus to Montfort to watch debateeeee.
THB that govt should ban sports gambling. I thought that the usually animated Anish was kind of muted during the debate and the CHIJtp debaters were much more convincing. Apparently not, RI won haha. But still, I thought RI weren't very forceful in their points; they tried to use logic to sound out the judges, but maybe thats cos we were against CHIJ. You know how girls are; let alone girl debaters. (there are blatant fallacies here haha).
