At the first cutting light of August, many years ago, the world got the first glimpse of the entity known henceforth as
Leon Yip. It decided to douse the aforesaid with sunshine, sweets, and loads of love.
Legend has it, so convicting were his words, that upon his request, the world agreed to revolve around him, forever, and ever, and ever.

Hello world, you have been exceptionally kind to me, thank you.
The past week of orientation has really been a breathtaking journey for an entire cohort of eager year ones as well as the selected bunch of excited OGLs. Of course, I shared the same excitement, felt the same rush of adrenaline everytime a cheer had erupted and truly felt what it was to belong in this school. And more.
A real pity though, I couldn't really get immersed with interacting with my new schoolmates, whom I will refuse to call freshmen (its just so, condescending) unless under special circumstances. Sure, I got to know a few of them, and in my mind, I did my own all-star sub-OG group, but I must say that I'm a tinge jealous of the way the OGLs bonded so well with the year ones.
Of course, Suntec City was an experience on a whole different scale altogether. I must say, I had a great time, though I still feel rather sore about missing the "neutron" and the "friendship dance". But I guess at the end of the day, what mattered was that everyone was happy. I definitely was.
It's pretty amazing. Anglo-Chinese roots bearing the Victorian fruit. I feel like I embody the spirit of two great institutions, and this unique rare mix really just gels together, and what comes out paints a beautiful picture.
Yay me!
