Yesterday, 22nd July, was the first anniversary of the KYUEM batch of 2003/05. But for some reason, nobody really remembered except jia yi who put up a self-made note on the board. Then again, we are only going to have two anniversaries here anyway (if we're lucky.)
Three cheers for Jia Yi! :) To celebrate the occasion, the senior batch is organizing a get-together dinner for ourselves in the dining hall at 7.45 pm. We'll have cakes and a special treat by the dining hall staff. The only thing that will hopefully be missing is the juniors. heh.

The juniors are probably going to celebrate their own milestone, that of surviving one week of classes in this college. After the induction, it has been quite a busy week, I must say. The juniors (official figures state that the current number is 217) can be found EVERYWHERE. They're at your favourite bench in the Saad Square, stalling the line in the dining hall, making the loud noises YOU should be making at night and taking all the attention of Mr B away from you (Well, that's actually a good thing). I know we're supposed to be one big happy family, but this is sibling rivalry to the nth degree. :)
Now I wonder whether our seniors (that's super-seniors to you brats. hehe) felt the same way about us? Can someone say K-A-R-M-A? hum.

Today's Garnet assembly had two video presentations (and two performing musicians in the form of Grace Sr. and Beng2). Video one was by the Student Council summarising the events during the induction week, while Video two was the long-awaited forestalled KYSM Computer Club job attachment footage.
Personally I think Video 1 is nicer. (thank you, thank you.) Because it involves all the juniors, the accompanying song (Ella - Standing in the Eyes of the World) is more meaningful and it brings back memories to us seniors of our own induction program exactly a year ago.
*sigh*
So how was induction week? Well, it was fine. Actually it consisted mostly the same activites last year (and probably the year before that, and the
year before
that .. ). I guess the college held firm to the maxim "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." Heh.

Tuan, Maz, Azizul and a couple of other seniors (again, super-seniors to the juniors.) came last night. It was nice seeing them again. Tuan gave a very inspirational speech in the Mussolla and it brought back memories of the junior years (or
the good ol' days, as some have come to call it.)
Heh.
Having reached this far in the blog, you must be thinking that the seniors hate (too strong a word?) the juniors or something. On the contrary, we love them, we really do. Most of us just wished that we were in Diamond house, that's all. So that we can show the juniors just how much we love them. Hehe.
Didn't get that? You probably shouldn't. :)
