Singapore

Hi I will try to tell whatever I can about singapore, the education system and the advantages we scholars have over the others here. It will not all be in the same blog as it will be quite long like Bhagavata Mahapurana so I will write it in parts.
We Came- The day I came to singapore(18th dec i think..) I was the only one in my room meant for 5. A new place, new people with a different style of speaking and no food!! Yeah, I was so hungry after that plane journey and there was no vegetarian food for me. Because I was theonly vegetarian and the warden had overlooked the fact. We(me and the warden) went around for an hour searching and finally saw a stall. Some malayalam stall. Near the rice and curries were mutton, chicken, goat and what not. And the food was also not that good. Thankfully that evening my father(who was there on a business tour), my uncle(who had just got transferred) and my cousin(who has been living there for two years after his studies) took me and I stayed at my cousin's house for the weekend. I arrived on a friday- a fact I forgot to mention before. So sunday night I came back and that night I slept alone. It was not that bad as I was getting used to it. Monday morning early I woke up to go jogging and outside our gate is this bus parked and threee students with heavy baggage come in(allindians). They were in my room! Then the subsequents events for the next couple of days will be of very little interest except for the arrival of 3 more indians and the malaysians.
Orientation- Since we are scholars coming to singapore alone forthe first time, the Ministry of Education(hereafter referred to as MOE) organinsed orientation for us. These included us getting to know the other indian and malaysian scholars who had been posted to other schools and hostels. We were taken on a trip to sentosaand we also went on a ferry at Clarke Quay(it is a quay lining the singapore river). The ferry passes through some of the famous tourist attractions like merlion statue, hotel fullerton,the civic district(it is full of towering sky scrapers), etc. Besides these we had our orientations in schools like Victoria Junior College(it is one of the JCs to which scholars are posted to). There were many games for us, personality workshops, and briefings about the education system of singapore which I will tell about later.
The main positive which emerged from all those orientaions was that we got to know our batchmates in other JCs(junior colleges) better and that really helps when you want to have someone in other JCs to talk to about the studies there, their life,etc...
Ragging- Here comes the part which I am sure yall will enjoy the most...........
but.. you will have to wait till the next time I come to the computer cause I have my class now. I am writing from school.
Ragging was a part which I enjoyed a lot and you know about me. These asked me to dance and me....Rmember school and Hips don't lie??? They were like this!! It was so enjoyable.
Next time I will tell what all we had to do as part of our ragging, where we had to do, how the seniors enjoyed it, etc.
Till then,Bye
Keep writin
