On 2nd March 2009, was my first day in PTEK (Pusat Tingkatan Enam, Katok).
Few days ago, I telephone to the school to ask about the uniform. And the person told me we wear our previous school uniform first. Then I call again to ask, even if I was from CHMS, they said yeah sure.
Hmph, on first day sings a different tune though. -_-
I was so scared to go down from the car that I stayed inside for almost one hour. And overall, when I meet up with the CHMS girls (Xin Yi, Li Wen and Sing Ling) and guys (around ten frm CHMS, i think), there's only four of us who didn't wear tudung and baju kurung. Everyone were looking at us weirdly and I bet some of them jiang wo men. What a great way to start my school year. -_-
Anyway, first two days are orientation. Basically, they're gonna introduce the school and the system of this school. The role of the student council and prefects and other students commitee are very prominent in this school (if compared to CHMS). Anyway, there's some speech, doa selamat thing for the muslims, and some other speech and lectures by some teachers. And some payment of money (based on groups). This year lower sixth students are divided into tutor groups that starts as BE. This year upper sixth students tutor groups are in AE. I'm in BE 7. During short break in the morning, there's spot check conducted by the prefect. I have to write my name coz of something I didn't have. (98% of the girls bei dian ming oso -.-) And we saw Saiyidah of B class too. So there's 5 CHMS girls in this school. During orientation, there were some time left so the prefects thought of playing a game by randomly calling out names of people from different groups (they have a list). Thank God I wasn't chosen. ^^v
We were given free lunch (lower sixth students only) in the canteen. The canteen (or the Dining Hall) was quite large, but there's not enough tables and chairs for every students. As a result, lots of the lower sixth student went to the student-drop-off-point and sat on the floor and eat. The four of us (me, Sing Ling, Xin Yi and Li Wen) walked around and then saw a free table and sat down. I totally have no appetite so I decided to bring home the food. Sing Ling brought a cake to eat and the other two ate their lunch. After that, we explore a bit the school compound. Then we went back to the hall to continue the orientation.
Two prefects told us to wear baju kurung and tudung the next day, because it's the regulation of the school. So, I was worrying about this matter while I was sitting in that hall. They were distributing the house T-shirts, every group got them except BE 7. -_-;;
After dismissed, I went out to wait for my dad. But traffic was really bad and I waited 15 minutes for my dad to arrive. -_-''
Back at home, mom bought some white tudung already. The only problem is baju kurung. My mom was panicking and nervous and went to National Inn to find those stuff. Turns out there's the white upper part of baju kurung sold, so she bought two. I was really tired and my body felt sore, so I told my mom I don't want to look for the skirt. Since CHMS girl students skirts are dark blue (and it's quite common colour outside), I called my mom to buy that skirt colour. She did found it (PHEW!) and I'm free from stress already (temporarily of course -.-)

The next day...
Is another boring orientation -_-;;
Seriously, my eyes were drooping down. But I don't dare to close it for a long time (scared get caught). I bei dian ming again today (today less ppl bei dian ming, but still have lah). The prefect said my nails quite long (T^T) At least she said it nicely. (Unlike CHMS prefects -_-;;)
Hmm, found out there's a Korean girl in my group. I thought that girl was Chinese but she speak to us in English. And when I saw a Korean name, I guess that she's Korean. And my guess was correct. She called us to call her Kim, and we intro ourselves. The 2nd day was not as bad as the first one. We had to choose one or two CCA / ECA. There's 40 clubs in this school. Some of them are Adventure club, football club, choir club, guitar club, Japanese club, Korean club, rugby club, golf club, bowling, swimming, cooking, sewing, cycling, debate, ICT, creative writing club, indoor cycling, kendo club and so on. I wanted to jon either Korean or Japanese or Book club. In the end I chose Book club. Now totally regretting it. Oh well. ^^
(Too lazy to write what mostly happened on that day)

Then the 3rd day of school is the first day of lessons.
I went to the room where my group is supposed to assemble. Then went to sit down. A Malay girl sat beside me and started a conversation with me. She seems like a really nice person. Her name is Jai. Our teacher is Mr. Ong. Hmm, some of his words are quite funny to us, though he said it in a straight and stern face. There was a sound emitted from the speaker and a man was announcing something. Everyone turned silent to listen clearly to the announcement. The group tutors teachers are required to go to the staff room to collect the timetable. Our teacher didn't give us the timetable paper where we could easily just write our subjects in the boxes. Instead, we have to draw ourselves (or in some ppl's case, I draw for them) and explain the block system. I was late for my maths class. Thank God I wasn't scolded or anything.
Next was accounting. Then private study (ps). We don't have afternoon class on that day so we can go home! ^^
