Today was L'audemus: Orientation 2! Met the new addition to our OG Zilun, whom kenneth insists that he looks like Wolverine from X-men (I beg to differ) He felt rather awkward with us in the beginning, however, as the day went by I guess he felt more comfortable around us and joined arnold in a game of bball haha! (:
Basically everyone was quite stoned throughout the entire day. O2 can't be compared to the orientation we had in January at all, the atmosphere then was so different. No one knew each other, we were so self-conscious and we were definitely "forced" to step out of our comfort zones and get to know each other. However, this time round we were just too comfortable with ourselves and those friends whom we have mixed around for the past 3 months that we seem to forget that we have "new people" and inevitably new friendships to forge.
In the morning, we did the same old stuff: learning of school cheers and the college anthem...
When Stamford Raffles held the torch
That cast Promethean FlameWe faced the challenge of the dayTo give our school a nameThe eagle eye and gryphon strengthThey led us to the foreTo reign supreme in ev'ry sphereThe sons of SingaporeCome heed the call Rafflesians allAnd let our hearts be stirringWe'll do our best whate'er testAnd keep our colours flyingLet comradeship and fervent hopeWith one voice make us prayAuspicium Melioris AeviWith God to guide the way
Yay, I think rjc's college anthem sounds nicer than that of rgs'. It's grander, more pompous and bolder. To all second intakers: Hope you'll enjoy your time here in RJC, it'll be two full years of excitement. It's definitely a place where you'll learn to STUDY HARD and PLAY HARD. You'll find that out for yourself soon enough (: ohyes, and if you're lost and don't know which cca to join... join rafflesROW! It'll be an experience of a lifetime!
