Was actually planning to just talk about my orientation in TP but a new topic sort of came to attention today, so here it is, it's about SG's very own veteran actor, Huang Wen Yong.
He was a shining star in Mediacorp, and he always caught my attention in whichever drama I saw him acting in. My first (and longest) impression of him was in Holland Village, when he was acting as one of the main protagonist's ex-beau, as Lin Jing Cai. His role in that movie was a devoted (sort of) man, loyal, and stubborn man who's been in love with two woman from the start till the end, whom he both lost to other guy. Although he was so annoyingly stubborn in that movie, he was always trying to do his best to help the women he love and that's the reason why I love him in that show. Another show that got my attention was Your Hand In Mine, where he acted alongside his co-partner for Holland Village as well. I just love the fact that he and Chen Li Ping has such a comfortable vibe about them acting as a married couple. It's like they're meant for this industry to be in parental figures. He always looks so fatherly giving his on-screen daughter advices and caring for them. :') The first news that I got about his passing on was on Twitter, through a friend's tweet and I don't know, I just feel a sudden surge of sadness when I read about that news. It was all just too sudden. One by one my familiar actors have left this world - MC King, Ah Nan, and now Huang Wen Yong. :'( It just pains me to know that he's no longer around. He's lived for 6 decades through his life now, and I hope that his road to wherever he's heading to next will be smooth and easy. To one of my dearest actor, 一路好走...
People, life is precious, so treasure each day, each hour, each minute, and even each second with the dear people you have right now. Life's too short to be fighting with the people God gave you. Loving and caring is easier and more worth it. <3 font="">
Orientation Day 1
So this day has finally arrived. I'd been somehow looking forward to this day but when it arrived, I was hoping I could skip the whole orientation thing and just sleep till the 22nd, where school officially opens. I was glad that didn't happen though. I was still feeling all butterflies in my stomach until I met up with the peeps, and we were all talking about whether we'd be in the same class or not. Sadly, we had all been separated into different classes, the others in 03 and 07 where I was in 05. :( My steps just got heavier by each step and eventually we had to split and went to our class. It was a difficult start to me because I'm not really good with mixing with new people, especially in such a crowded place. But the first SL that talked to me made me feel better. He's SL GL, the one whom I thought was our lecturer at first glance. :X Subsequently, we watched videos, performances (really awesome ones) and then started cheering for the business school.
Following that, it was soon lunch and bonding time and we were to introduce ourselves to one another in a circle. It was just fun and awesome and the games made me know a little more about my SLs and also my new classmates, who are just so amazingly lovable. And I must say that I think my class has the most number of good-looking people! *Proud* So after lunch we just had our course-bonding time in LT21 and all the SLs' crazy ideas just exploded and all the witty dances just came out. Basically it was just an awesome day. Back at home that day, the Whatsapp group created for us by our SLs were continuously spamming and everyone was just so excited for meeting up the next morning. Just awesome to see everyone so bonded. Of course, I was one of the quiet ones. Hee.
Orientation Day 2
So soon, it was a new day and we were back at the lecture theatre, talking and chatting about everything and anything. We practised our cheers, and got to meet our careperson, Ms Sheila. She looked much like an awesome person with her bubbly self. :D So we got our timetable (YAY cause not every polys get their timetable printed for them) and well, I guess I just have a love-hate relationship with the timetable? But thankfully next week was just a lecture week so the hours would be just short.
After some bonding, lunch, painting and photo-taking session in the class, we were off marching to the Bedok Reservoir for the TP Regatta. I have to say, the distance was quite okay actually. Not as bad as I had expected. But the haze there was really not a joke. Design school beside us were cheering non-stop, whether it was for themselves or for other schools who won, and I just feel that their trophy for Best Spirited was well-fitted. Good job for that! ^^ Business school regrettedly lost what could have been the 9th consecutive win for Regatta challenge, but I'm sure the freshies next year would be able to win this glory back!
"Business school will win the war next time, WILL WIN THE WAR NEXT TIME!"
Everything was just fast and time spent with our 4 dearest SLs passed too soon too. Because of them and my lovable classmates, orientation seemed much fun than how my friends from other polys described, and I seriously wished that the orientation would last for about a week or so? :( Really wanna thank the SLs for taking so much care and effort for us, from ensuring constantly that we're hydrated, to making us warm farewell cards. :'D Awesome bunch of people. Hopefully we'll see them more often in Biz school!
And now, I can't wait for school to start on Monday cause I need to get my brain working again. It's too filled with all the Running Man and WGM (Not that I'm gonna stop watching them), and I need to fill them up with school work! Haha. Sounds crazy but I miss doing school work, really do. :( I still hate projects tho.
So yeap, phrase of today is, "Love yourself and also the people around you." <3 nbsp="" p="">
