Woke up at 5.45am with the help of my roommate’s chicken ring tone. Haha…. One chicken woke up the whole kampong. Haha. I woke up, had breakfast and got ready for briefing. MOE officers came to give us and our parents some briefing. The officer gave us stickers with our names on it, play childish games…….. lame. After that, the officer gave us a free EZLink card, yay! It’s for public transport either a bus or the MRT. Haha. Besides that, we also applied for our student card. One of the next door roommate say that there is nearly discounts for almost everything even at McD. Haha.
We had lunch at about 12.00pm and went for our first Mathematics Bridging Course at 1pm. We walked to the Bridging Centre near the hostel at about 12.45pm with the company of both of the MOE officers. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the centre, a few blocks away from our hostel.
After the twists and turns around the apartment on the way to the centre, we finally reached the centre. The MOE officers were also not too sure exactly where the centre is. They phoned the teacher in charge and he came down to greet us up the centre. Mr.Lim, the teacher who teaches us maths, is an interesting man. He tells jokes to amuse everyone, but he himself was the one not smiling, lol. Some students think that he tries to tell his jokes but he doesn’t know what he is talking. Haha. Our first Maths Bridging Course wasn’t too bad. Mr. Lim even award students who can get the Fun Maths questions correctly. He said that we should have fun solving it but also needs to use logic since it is maths. We also had a pre-test which lasted for 2 hours……….
We finished our first course at about 5.15pm. The seniors from our hostel came to fetch us back to the hostel. At about 6pm we reached our hostel, took a bath, and prepared for dinner. Dinner was at about 6.20pm, the dinner prepared today was not too bad, with a bowl of soup. Yuuummmmmm, haven’t drink soup since I came to Singapore. Haha.
After dinner, we were free…….. We took out our laptops and gathered at the room next door. It was like 5-6 laptops all at one go, it looks like a cyber café from outside since it is accompanied by air-conditioners, games and Online Messengers. Haha. Syiok looorrrrr. At about 10pm, we were frustrated with the slow connection caused by the all-at-one-go laptops. After that, we all moved to the canteen. Since the canteen is one of the hotspots of the hostel, the connection is damn fast even with 9-10 people using at the same time.
We used our laptops until 11.00pm when everybody decided to go to bed. We kept everything and went back to our respective rooms. We slept almost immediately because we went through a tough day, with all the maths jamming our brains and the excitement hanging around………….
