Angie Yip: January Updates

With this year being so hectic and all, I thought I'd change my way of blogging a little. Instead of blogging about the events that have been happening in my life, I'd thought I'd just do it all up in one post at the end of the month(: You still can expect ootd and food posts but probably not that often haha!

1. Orientation Training Workshop
In case you guys haven't known yet, I'm an orientation leader!! Anyone going to SRJC this year? Haha! So as you guys know, we had to go through a mini camp where we learnt all the school dance, cheers, conflict management, college tour routine etc. It actually happened on the weekends so I had to sacrifice my sleep time for school. Oh well, at least the friends I made there were worth it! I had quite a lot of fun throughout the workshop and made lots of new friends!

2. SR Fashion Show
Out of the OGLs, they chose a few to take part in the orientation fashion show. It's basically just the modelling of the uniforms. It might sound a little boring but the prep was one of the best times ever! Jolene and I were both chosen (yay!) and we were split into groups. I'm in the full u group while she's in the half u group. I swear, the full u group has the coolest and cutest people ever. It consist of Barnabas, Denise, Kei Chi, Jia Ren, Melia and me(: We had so much fun during the rehearsals trying out different poses and just making a fool of ourselves. Barnabas and I have also been officially labelled as the cute, tiny couple. Well a little awkward but haha! We made the best out of it and I'm so excited for our fashion show rehearsal tmr!

3. SRJC Open House
As every other school, SR had our very own open house. Well I wouldn't say I had much fun then. To be honest, it was quite boring for us. We had to stay in school till 5pm even though we had no lessons at all. So we were all pretty much just cooped up in our classrooms half the time... Suppose to go round and rara but we were all really tired from the week that we had. Well smth good did come out of it though! I made a few new friends! After awhile, I just went round talking to random SRJCians. That was how bored I was haha! And I almost got to know a few people better, specifically Ruben, Calvin and Adrian(: Ended up touring the college with Calvin and gng round disturbing the ppl at the booths, dancing with Ruben at the SRGCE booths and jamming with Adrian in class.

(Ruben is 180cm+. Don't judge)

4. Choreographing for Lit Night
If you've been following me on instagram, you'd heard me talk about lit night once in awhile. Well basically lit night is an annual event held by the lit cohort. We have a really amazing performance in school to showcase all of our amazing, hopefully existent acting/dancing/singing skills. A lot of work goes into the show actually. We have to stay back on Tues and Thurs till 7pm to rehearse. Jolene, Karis and I decided to dance so we've been having practices now and then. This is actually my first time choreographing and I was rather apprehensive at first. Glad to say that everything went well and we're almost done with the choreography.

5. Dance Practices
Every year, each house comes up with a walk in which is basically a dance. So all of us had to stay back on certain days to rehearse. It's actually really fun and I look forward to all these rehearsals because of the crazy things that goes on. We would shout and sing the songs, dance like no one's looking and perspire a lot. Our house's dance is really, really tiring. It's pretty much some aerobic exercise cause there's a lot of jumping around haha! Guess it doubles up as a good work out as well!

6. Daddy's in town!
My dad has been working in Hong Kong since I was P1 and that's a good 10 years away from family! Don't get me wrong, he does come back to visit really often and we fly over during the dec hols to visit him but it's just different without him around. Well my dad has finally hit the time for retirement after working so hard to support the family. He came back to Singapore this month and will be staying here for about 1.5months, the longest he's stayed in Singapore in one shot! So I've been spending a lot more time with the family going out for meals and all(: He'll be gng back to HK at the end of Feb though and we'll see how things go from there!
