Redeeming the riot.

I must say, I've no regret at all.
I've changed my subject combination. Literature, History, Maths, and TSD. Since I'm going to get an education there, might else well make it a great fun time right? And I'm pretty sure economics is a very boring subject. Also, after consulting various people, Economics isn't all that essential to my future cause. Or at least, I think..
So while wet games enticed me, I was unable to attend the ACS(IB) orientation as pre-planned. However, again, thanks to various people, I was able to leave earlier to make my way towards ACS(I), and I totally made the wrong bus choice, and ended up taking a 1 hour 20 minute bus ride. When I was turning in from the AYE towards Fairfield, I had just woken up from the tedious journey, and I could really feel my heart buzzing. I was that excited to see my friends again. Note, I did not use the term "old friends", for the simple reason that they are, and will be, my friends forever. Yay them.
The orientation was okay I guess, saw many familiar guy faces, and a couple of familiar female ones, including Steph, Haha, trying to blend in inconspicuously with the crowd, but failing totally miserably.
The dinner was kinda lame, mainly because Nick, Paul and I were constantly being chased out of the hall. Though we did catch up with teachers. One thing that I would hold dear forever, is how the teachers of ACS, regardless of what an asshole I was to them, would look at me and greet me as an old friend. I particularly enjoyed meeting with Mog, and Mr. Brian Ng. I will come back on Founder's day and Teacher's day for sure to re-unite with the family.
It was only at the end of the dinner where the three of us officially entered the hall, joining the other "crashers", Jeremy, Gabriel, Austin and others whom I do not remember. When the tables were clear, Remy and I started sliding down the hall floor. Probably the last time I ever would do that in ACS(I). Fond memories.
KAP next, we just basically exchanged stories through the journey and meal, I had not much to share, my orientation, while being very interesting and really captivating, wasn't exactly the most eventful one yet. I say "yet", because theres the beach thing on monday, which in turn, the AC people will crash I think, hope.
On the journey back, I was so tired, I fell asleep in "61", overshot my stop by about twenty bus stops. Luckily I was still around the area, so I managed to get home soon enough. By the way, We left KAP at 9.45pm, and I reached home at 11.15pm, HAHA.
So I changed class within 2 hours of learning of my original class, the reason was due to a change in subject combination (and in turn the reason for this is as stated above). My original class really consists of some great people, but I really believe that I would have had a hard time fitting in there. As for the new class, I think they are more outgoing? Well, fingers crossed guys. Will update you guys soon.
Tis' been a long post, would like to end by saying goodbye to Austin. Thanks for everything man. You've been a great classmate, always making everybody laugh and jovial. We're really going to miss you, my fellow Liverpool supporter, just remember this - You'll Never Walk Alone.
Nil Sine Labore,
The Best Is Yet To Be.
Some people love the family, I love the brothers.
