Recalling the First Days in NUSHS part 2

This is a continuation of my previous post. The other thing that I managed to recall about the first day of school was breaking up into our respective houses. That was when I met Long! I was sent to the Flemming house and I remember clearly that I was sitting right behind Long. He turned around and greeted me and Abi (who was also in Flemming) and introduced himself. I thought his accent sounded funny thought he was French. He was the second new person I spoke to in NUS High School.

The next person who I met was non other than Gregory Lau! This happened around day 3 to day 4 (big lag). We were in the same subject class and he was sitting right behind me and Abi. I remember that one of the first discussions the three of us had was about quarks (up, down, strange, charmed, top and bottom). That was before the first physics lesson with Mr Lim where he showed a picture of the physics professor standing on the wall in his first slide. Oh men! Mr Lim was teaching with ppt. that time. Can you believe it?

I also got to know Tat Leong at that time. He was sitting beside Gregory on the first day of lessons. He later went back to his old school after a term.

We had an introductiory session during English with Mrs Zheng (wonder if anyone remember her). That was when I got to know Samantha Wong. Why? Because she was the only one who could not remember my name and came to ask me a second time. -_-lll

Sometime later, we had our Chinese lesson in that Chinese classroom. There, I got to know Fung Ai Wei because she sat beside me (er...I shall not go into the details of how this happened, but she chased Kenwei away and say she wanted to sit beside me. That freaked me out.) I also talked to Yi Yi and Jing Xuan (and I found out Jing Xuan was from Nan Hua! Epic Fail!).

Now I need to go and salvage more memories of interesting encounters from my memory.

Recalling the First Days in NUSHS

Now that most of the major exams are over, I have decided to end the hibernation of this blog. Last Wednesday was farewell assembly, and that sort of marked the end of the "NUS High School" chapter of our life. This is the parting of ways as the girls will be preparing to enter University and the guys (except Tan Li ) will be preparing for NS!! (I am enlisting on 11th December) Therefore, I feel that it is appropriate to post some of my personal flashbacks on how I met some of the wonderful friends at NUS High School (if I can still remember).

If I am not wrong, I remember when we first started on 3rd January 2005. The first person that I remember clearly seeing at school was Lip Tong. I did not talk to him however, and he was not the first person I know in NUS High School. Back in 2004, I remember meeting Abi at the Maths and Science camp (he was awarded best member of the team) and Lei Lei when we were buying uniforms and books (both our parents were consulting each other on what to buy and what not to buy). The first person I talked to on the first day was Abi, because we remembered each other from the camp. When assembly started, I met up with Tan Li, Royston and Andrea and Chai Yue (from Nan Hua). Then I remembered that Lei Lei was the first to be punished by Ms Norizan for forgetting to hand in some form.

Later, I remember breaking into the mentor groups and that was when Nicholas was appointed mentor rep. Sadly, I did not remember any other names on the first day. I cannot recall any other events that happened on that day though, but I remember talking to Nicholas on the way back to the MRT that day.

The first day was more or less like that. In the next entry, I shall try to recall how I got to know the other people in NUS High School.
