For those of you who are lucky enough to be waited on hand, foot and mouth back home, seriously, treasure it. Because in boarding school, you're really on your own.
But!
KTj boarding school life is a whole new ball game. They have every single amenity available for you. Air conditioned rooms, washing machines, free laundry service that folds and irons your clothes for you, good food in the canteen, 5 ENORMOUS playing fields, a swimming pool (!), slow but free Wi-Fi connection, free computers at your disposal, nice hot water in the shower, hot water to cook Maggee Mee at midnight, etc etc.
And that's probably why we pay exorbitant fees. Here's how our daily routine is on school days.
In the morning, we wake up at 7.00am to bathe and get ready for school. But, some even wake up at 6.00am to put on make up and perm their hair. I'm not kidding, my roomate takes an hour just to get ready for breakfast. =.= Then it's breakfast at 7.30. The food here isn't very bad, there's a Western side and Asian side, a soup and salad bar and drinks. After breakfast, school is from 8.20 until 3.20. There are breaks and lunch in between, but the lessons always seem so damn long, I can't stand it. :( IBut on a brighter note, in KTJ, they practise a "floating classroom" concept, meaning that you have to walk around the school and switch classes for different subjects. Also, my bag isn't as heavy anymore as compared to my time in CHS. We are allowed to head back to our boarding houses to exchange books and freshen up during break time. :)
After school, we have clubs and extra curricular societies for an hour. Then after that it's time for recreational sports until 6pm. You are allowed to choose whatever sport you like, so for me it was obviously swimming. :) They have a saltwater pool here. Lol.
From 6 to 7pm, it's House Training for whatever sport we are competing for that term. For this term it is cross country. The competition is actually next week, so we're training like mad here. The track is only 3.2km, but its really REALLY hilly, and real tiring.
After training, it's dinnertime! :) We eat, then go back to the boarding house to bathe, then from 7.45 until 9.15 it's prep time, where we do our homework. From 9.15 to 9.45 we can visit our friends in other boarding houses. Bedtime is at 10.30.
There are only 16 people in my class. I'm taking pure science and sometimes, it SUCKS! :(
Specially for Becca: There are many hot eurasians here, but most of them are either taken or gay. Haha. Yesterday there was a charity rock concert, and it was really wild man! Hot guys playing the guitar. *sighs* :)
