Just got back from a Sentosa beach party at KM8. We each had 5 drink coupons and partied from 7+pm to 1am. We got to meet our seniors from P4 who were quite nice to us. I danced, got splashed and generally had a good time.
A small confession as to why I didn’t wear a full bathing suit … erm … well I had a bikini bottom on beneath my sarong, but alas something was wrong with the top. It had somehow shrunk, because I don’t think I’ve turned into Dolly Parton over the last few years. It was such that had I sneezed or jumped into the pool, I might unwittingly set myself up for arrest (public indecency). I hadn’t swum in years, hence the suit was left ignored in the cupboard until now. To cut a long story short I just told everyone I couldn’t find my top. I need to get a new bathing suit!
Anyway. Bain is smart, because I think they have our goodwill now. First they sponsored what turned out to be a special ‘surprise’ this week. Then they let our weekend take off with a big bang at Sentosa without being around, so we could let loose and have fun. I was also glad that the P1s and P4s got a taste of Sentosa because it can feel quite different from mainland Singapore.
What I like so far about INSEAD is how you can just walk up to a group of people and join in the conversation without feeling awkward. While there are naturally some groupings forming e.g. people from the same nationality / speaking the same languages / living in the same block, it isn’t set in stone. The group dissipates slowly and we then join other groups. That’s a cool arrangement.
I also discovered through conversations that there were more classmates reading my blog than I had expected … so hello to you guys! Cheers to 10 great months ahead of us.
