NJC Open house

Yup, went to my first open house today, quite fun actually, and it's not just 'cos of the huge goodie bag. Walked past the gates and felt strange, got a goodie bag and flyers, then walked on into the building where we were waylaid by a few people that were supposed to bring us around. The first brought us to the air rifle room, but then we (alice, boonpin and i) decided we weren't interested and walked off by ourselves instead, hoping to get to the air conditioned hall, for essentially the air conditioning. At about half way up, we met another group of three people that offered to take us on a tour of the school, and we were switched over to someone else called Valerie. We finally found the hall, met this quite cute, chao enthu science club person, who was suggesting we bring slime home. Dunno lahz, she was going to be the best cca promoter we were going to see the entire day. Then we walked off to the canteen where Valerie introduced us to the erm famous NJC canteen, famous for having good food or so people say. Can't comment about the food 'cos I didn't try it, but it was quite boring so far. The ccas thing anyway, then they all asked us to write our names and sign up, but it was quite freaky because we were all fickle undecided teenagers and so we didn't sign up for anything in the end.

The most fruitful part of the trip was the one where we went to the library and found out about courses and stuff like that. Their literature teacher is very funny! Hehe, makes me feel like taking literature just for the teacher, and he's so enthusiastic about his subject, plus he's very animated and full of energy. Then their GP teacher is funny too! All their humanities teachers (save geography) seem nice. Then we went to see what computing was about, and found that it actually seems quite okay, except for the fact that all the combinations with computing inside required physics (ugh). Oh! And their F maths teacher is soooooo soft spoken... A bit weird, cos we saw the humanities side of the library was so crowded and the sciences side was so leng qing, then at first the poor computing teacher was so alone and neglected, which was also why we went to check out computing at first.

And now I'm wondering if I want to take chinese at A levels. Taking higher chinese at A levels and chinese at A levels are quite different, so I don't know what to do right now. And after listening to the physics teacher and looking at the textbook, it has only further strengthened my resolve not to take physics. So no computing and no physics.

Then we walked around a bit more, checked out the CCAs, met people, then came home. Dug around the goodie bag in my room and found lots of stuff, 2 post it pads, 1 DSTA folder with a very(!!!) chio (opaque-ish) white clipboard inside and pen. Then there was a radio thing, from the Feedback Unit, which resembled a old microphone, bottled water from Feedback Unit, tissue box from Northwest CDC and lots of CCA pamphlets and stuff...

Openhouses are very useful, well the subjects part anyway, and Valerie was nice! Haha, I think I quite like NJ arts lehz... But if I take arts also dunno what to take... Oh well, more to ponder about later then. *off to finish St Nicks a maths paper*
