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.
