Yepz, it was the first alchemy meeting of the year, and the first alchemy meeting the j1s ever had. It could have been better, but it was not too bad nonetheless.

Some newbs are shy. That is natural. Some newbs look pissed. That's normal too. Some are desperately trying to prove themselves. That's fine too. At the end of the day (or rather, term), we'll have a nice cozy B22 with enough chairs for all our members.

Some newbs are just wet blankets, but I appreciate their frankness. To a certain extent, I'd rather one say "I'm forced to come here with my friend" than to say "I'm here because I like chemistry", because the latter comment will cause other people to respond with the same comment. While the intention may be good, the effect isn't.

Anyway with my group (group 2, how uncreative) we played "2 truths and a lie" and I started first. HAHA people actually believe that I wax my legs! I'm so proud of my bullshit skillz. Though if you see my legs for yourself, the prospect of that may not seem so ridiculous after all.

Some interesting stuff I remember, one girl like snakes(0_0), one girl enjoys stretching(??!!), one girl has 4 cousins(like, okay...). Why do I only remember the girls you ask? I think the guys didn't say much interesting stuff; the guys in my group are quite shy.

On a side note, the RGS girls in my group look and sound like they are forced to come. The non-rgs girls are generally more enthu.

On the whole in this batch there are more girls, and the girls are more enthu. And more people from China. So far I don't see cool d00ds around. Ahh well, if they want to be cool they'll probably join dance or canoeing or rock.

I feel like a star now. Like, when I was queueing up for food during break I was approached by 2 people like "Hey, are you that alchemy guy?" Totally. ^^

I sound optimistic. Heh. Watch out for Alchemy this year.
