All Alone

18th December

The SMS was sent at 5 something in the morning. I was posted to NJC. It was my first choice. I was on my way to Singapore from Malaysia when my mother read the message. I was dying to know if Pui Yee, Hui Wen, Yun Yu and Alicia got in too.

Not long after I reached the house in Singapore, I received a call from Moneshaa. She asked me to meet her at the traffic light junction at about 10:30a.m. She got into MGS. Sad... We will be separated. At 10:30a.m, Moneshaa called and said that she already arrived. I was still at home. My mother needed to go to Keming to get some documents signed. I didn't know that I had to be in the school uniform. At least I had a reason.

When we arrived in the school, I was happy to see friends there. But I was shocked to find that no one else except me was going to NJC. Not even Hui Wen. Seems like I have to make many new friends in NJC.

19th December

I woke up at 7 something and wore Keming uniform and ate breakfast. My father drove my mother and I to NJC. They told me which buses I could take and which bus stop to get down. We reached the school. We had to register so we went to 'schools starting with letters D-L' I was the only person from Keming and confirmed. I took the stack of paper and entered the LT room. We sat down and examined the paper. I can take third language-French. LOL. I put it as first choice. I need to go to either MOELC or Gimmoh to learn. The learning is FOC but the materials(like books) costs like $120. So expensive. My mother was afraid that I could not cope with it. I also wish that I can have a trial lesson or something so I know how the lesson is like and I can decide whether to take it or not.

While my father queued up to ask some questions after they gave us an introduction or something, my mother and I went to queue up to buy the uniform. It was Bibi and Baba again... Like Keming. I think the uniform looks weird on me because the moment I wore it at home(to try on), my younger sister burst out laughing. I did not know how I looked like but my younger sister laughs at things that are not funny sometimes. LOL. We only need to purchase 4 textbooks. Which means we only had 4 textbooks. We already had to buy sec 2 maths textbook. I guess this is what an IP school is like...
