@7:28 PM
Second day of aj ain't THAT bad I guess. I'm trying to be less hostile to going in.
1. NJC APPEAL BOPIAN.
I feel cheated since they said nj cut off points are exactly my points. Thought I could learn the lesson from my bro not to anyhow put first choice thinking you can appeal in anyway. But NOO, now I must tell my juniors never to put first choice a school w a cop exactly your score. OHWELL. AJC IT IS THEN. (Lol. I'm an AJCian. A fake Asian.)
2. My bro's friend tweaked the AJ cheer in the handbook, lol. So from
They call us Raffles!
They call us Nationals!
They call us Victoria!
That's not our name! (x8)
We are AJaaaay!(x3)
It became:
I tried go Raffles!
I tried go Nationals!
I tried go Victoria!
But I failed! (x8)
So I go AJAAAAAAY!(x3)
SO APPROPIATE AND FITTING. Then under 'allergy' in the handbook, I put "AJC." Also, my bro found his face in the book and told me to go around asking people "Do you know my brother? He's on page 89!!"
3. CCA choosing was an extremely tough decision. First I was thinking of basketball, then I reasoned they won't take in noobs to train them since it's competetive bball. Then I thought of taking badminton, cos not bad. But no background. Then sherms suggested I take shooting then I was like WHOOOOAAAA COOL MAYBE.
After that, I thought maybe I'd try out for photography too cos it doesnt seem so bad. Me and hanwen were given forms for application and it was full of perplexing questions like "How do you think you can contribute to photography club?" (WITH PHOTOS. DUH.) and "What are 3 special functions of a DSLR?" SO I GAVE UP. That form deters wannabe photographers, I swear.
Kay, then I tried out for shooting. AJ has a freaking shooting range luh, wth. And shooting comp results aren't bad. Quite a few trophies. Despite not touching a rifle for 2 years, it wasn't bad thou. But I shoulda told them my dominant eye's left, not right. ._. Did like 3 shots but only 1 went into the black spot. Ohwell. Then after I left tryouts, winny told me the dood may reconsider me to join (YAYE).
Okay, then I went to the CXtreme room. (DAMN BADASS NAME. I thought it was like some recreational outdoor club thing. But nooo, its just infocomm. EXTREME INFOCOMM) It was empty, unexpetedly. Talked to the pres and he did a good job in selling the cca. First, I asked whats the diff bet this and AVA club. Then he said "I'm not being biased here, but AVA is really really slack." Then I asked if webdesign or robotics was a better option and he said "Honestly, and even though I'm in webdesign, you learn more in webdesign.". The best selling point was "We have 100% promotions for j1. Best among all ccas." I REALLY wanted to join robotics man.
BUT, I shall attempt to join shooting. More badass than extreme infocomm.
