First Week of School

First Week of School (SMKDJ)


The very first week of the first school semester. Some dread it, while others look forward to it.
To me, neither of both mattered.


A month of holiday might sound good to take a break after a long year of hard work and constant
studying to prepare for PT3, but after a week or so, you start to get that feeling of missing being
with your friends in school, doing activities together.
(not group work with random people that don't know each other really well)


New semester, new class, new classmates and a whole new timetable to memorize.
First week is always pretty exciting, since you get to meet your friends again after a long month.
What's more exciting is that the classes. While some might be boring, others can be quite fascinating.


Since it's the first week, nothing much other than normal classes and longer than average speeches
from Mr.Ganapathy. The changes for co-curriculum were quite interesting too,
but transporters might have some trouble adapting to it.


This year’s class streaming split my former classmates into different class.
Some of them still retained their friendliness, while others… not so much.
Let's hope that's just the effect of stress on the first week of school.


This pretty much sums it up for the first week.
I am looking forward to whatever that might happen for the rest of the year.


Cheers.

Chua.

  1. Hello Weng Hwang! I love your essay and especially the choice of words you have used. Your essay motivates me to be more sociable among our classmate and I can really relate to what you are feeling. I literally feel extremely awkward as I came to my new class and I am more used to my old class last year. I do not struggle with the problem of not talking to to others as now I feel much more comfortable among our classmates. Have you got use to our new friends and if no, how can you get closer to them?

  3. It is hard to adapt to new environments but it has been quite a long time since you wrote this blog so I hope you are doing better. Don't be too attached to people from your former class because some of them does not even care and you shouldn't too.

ICT-ton and Carnival 2018

Well it's sad to say I missed this one purely because I was busy and no other reason. So I'm going to sum the event up through friends' experiences. To start off, there was a senamrobik activity in the morning. This is quite weird as... you know... it's a carnival.... not Sports Day to be exact. Nevertheless, that happened. I'm guessing most of the participants weren't wearing the proper attire as they didn't get the memo till the last minute. Besides, there was a dunking game that was setup by the Scouts. Though I didn't go to the carnival personally, a few clips circulated around social media such as Facebook and Instagram and that's how I know Joash from 4 Balau got dunked. Mr James that was a former teacher in the school along with Pn Lau got dunked as well. Lastly, the Teen Star Talent show. Again, I didn't go to the carnival so I do not know half of what happened during the event, but the highlight of the carnival was Mr Ganapathy, th...

Optimism / Pessimism Bias

Welcome back, friends. Exam weeks was long and harsh, but now it's over. Hooray! As for the blog posts, they're starting again and this time, oh boy, free topic for days (at least I hope so). So fasten your seat belts as we explore more random topics for no apparent reason. Today's Topic : Optimism/Pessimism Bias "Great, another bias. What's next? K-Drama bias? Anime bias? Jeez, at least talk about something positive." Well, positive things aren't always fun to write. So... cliche and boring. I rather dig into negative stuff just to find out what causes them and how we can solve them. Doesn't  that sound positive to you? Either way, let's jump into today's topic. I'm going to cover both Optimism bias and Pessimism bias in the same blog post, because they usually are found together in a statement. But before that, let's ask ourselves this common question that is used to test optimism and pessimism. Is the cup half full or h...
