I just came back from RJ. Yes, RJ. And I know, I'm not from RJ. Whee so fun. I went there to support the Haunted House thing, which was held to raise funds for the BMDP (bone marrow donor project).
1110 hours. Entered via the back gate I think. Cos that's the direct bus from my house stops. Walking in, I felt really weird. I think the whole school was there, on a Saturday, cos it was the official opening of the JC. The place really is very green. And white. And almost everyone was wearing some form of RJ uniform. One HC student in a place full of Rafflesians. In my jeans and shirt, I felt really out of place. Had this "me against the world" feeling, haha. Actually, I spotted a senior from HC there. The orientation IC. I suppose she was with her RJ friends. If not... traitor! Lol. Anyway, I tried to make myself feel as inconspicuous as possible. Didn't wanna make myself stand out haha.
So I was following the directions to the haunted house, when I spotted someone familiar. Jonathan! It's been so long, but I still recognised him. He took just a short while to remember me. I'm quite surprised he remembers my surname haha. Maybe cos it's unique. Talked to him a bit, before walking around, trying to get hold of Natalie. She was really busy. Don't get so agitated! haha.
The haunted house tickets were sold out, and a sign said "come back at 12.15 pm", so I decided to walk around some more. Tried to find some more 6mers. I dunno... maybe I walked past some, but if I did, I didn't recognise any of them. Then I spotted Jonathan again. He offered to take me to see Mie. She's changed quite a bit. And yes! FINALLY someone who says I changed a lot. Yeah! So there. I have changed. I've grown, and my hairstyle (lol see previous post) HAS changed! Talked a bit, then I went back to the ticketing booth for the haunted house.
[EDIT @ 9Apr: Mie's changed her mind. Yesterday on MSN she said actually I didn't change much. Aargh. Back to square one. ]
The sign changed. A new message was put up, and it went something like "We have no guarantee that people who bought tickets after 12.15 will be able to enter the haunted house." I decided to give it a shot, but the ticket seller explained to me that I would probably have to wait a long while, and it was so long the queue would probably last till 4.30, when they had to stop. Oh well. The queue was indeed really long. Crazy. I thought for a while, before deciding to go home. I'll hear the screaming another time haha. Couldn't wait that long, cos I've got quite a bit of work to do this weekend (Physics test on Tuesday!), and registration for the sabbaticals starts at 4pm. Must log on exactly at 4 to make sure I get the sabbatical I want haha.
1230 hours. Went home. My sense of direction isn't that bad after all. Managed to find my way our of the right gate. RJ seems quite big at first, but it isn't really all that big. I come from a big school too anw.
Calling all (or rather, the few) 6mers who're reading this! Let's hold a gathering during the June hols! I've finally made contact with the RJ 6mers. I know we've had quite a few failed gatherings... But let's make this one work out!
