Then because the stayovers i didn't sleep for most of them (the 2nd one i slept about 1-2 hours? ), the whole 7 days felt like 4 days only.
Day 1 (Sat and Sun)
So the camp was scheduled to start at 3pm on Saturday.. So I went there with an apprehensive feeling, don't know what to expect! The general feel was pretty good, the facils all quite enthu on the first day, the OG was super big (for the moment) (like 20 ppl?)
Didn't see half the people here after the 2nd day.
So we played some mass games.. and more games.
This was taken during night games of the first day.. these were all the guys we had in the OG.. 90% of them were not around 80% of the time subsequently -_- I was the most onz one , everyday come. grr.
This game we played just before this photo was taken was quite sick though.. we had to use our shirts and soak in this pail of water and from the 2nd storey squeeze it into cups held by the girls below.. i can imagine them grossing out from the sweat-water combination oozing out from upstairs hahaha.
So yea, we stayed over that night, I stayed up the whole night with some people just talking about random stuff... and it rained on Sunday so we couldn't have the programme we were supposed to have :( So in the end just went home after lunch.
Day 2 (Mon and Tues)
Mon was Freshmen Inauguration Ceremony.. which was at freaking 8am in the morning or something! Sorry, I can't wake up so early (no idea how i'm going to wake up for my 8AM french lecture every wednesday)
So in the end i went at about 1+ to school.. and there was noone there -_- As in, noone from the OG. then when those people who went for FIC came back (only about 7 ppl?) it was quite pathetic also. Like you see other OGs have like 20 people and we're like less than half of that.
Random people started coming at random times, because at night it was Social Night!
It was supposed to be some clubbing kinda thing, got loud music and Mambo. But i thought it was quite fail.. the first half of the programme just involved getting guys on stage and taking off their shirts (fml stupid girls-heavy faculty) , the 3rd quarter was some performers and the last quarter was finally the Mambo.
Some pictures we took:
That wet patch on my shirt is damn fugly i know... i think it's like, perspiration. :( ew. I don't know why it was so oddly placed though. Like, i only have sweat glands on my right chest lolol.
I really like this picture!! I don't know why.. i think maybe because we all look quite good? These 2 are Si En and Mun Ching, both freshmen facilitators of my group. Prob the 2 girls I talk to the most this camp. Don't feel v close to them tho... maybe they dont like me :( dunno.
Like for psych camp i was close to chonghui, huijun, darren. Really can feel the closeness one!
Yes, her name is Munching. Like, Munching is munching on munchy food. hahaha.
(ok a side random note, FB is really annoying me. Because I'm taking all these photos from FB, but the thing is I can't click 'next pic' to go to the next picture, so i have to click 'Photos of Alan' then scroll to that page then click on the pic i want from the thumbnail page. Like 3 steps instead of one. damn troublesome!)
So after the mambo .. we went to Chi Pang's (yes, his name is Chi Pang. like chicken wing. hahaha) house to play Rock Band!! My first time playing!
Girl on bouncy ball is Chmel.. she is DAMN zhai at the drums.. she play expert and clear quite easily. Just that she can't do the pedal so she keep asking me press for her . damn tiring can.
No picture of me playing because I was the one taking these photos. I only played the drums , cos i can't sing and I tried the guitar before in guitar hero i think.
Then Tuesday was Flag! Like you know, Flag Day. Where you hold the tins and walk around and
It was because we had a mass dance at cineleisure!! I really enjoyed it, one of the few choreo dances i've taken part in (apart from the lame mass dance in JC), and though i suck at learning choreo, i like it :)
There is a video but noone seems to have uploaded it. I wanna see! Tho abit embarassing, the video can see me and I'm abit laggy cos i keep forgetting haha.
The hardworking people who flagged for charities.
This is what you do when you don't sell much flags (those stickers are called flags right?) and your sticker paper looks too full so you need to empty it abit.
There are actually more pictures of us playing with the stickers but Chmel didn't upload them so.. :(
Day 3 - Beach Day! (Wednesday)
We went to Sentosa to play some games! The games were generally quite fun, and i almost lost my specs in the sea!! Damn scary la, like go into the water then come out and no specs. It's like.. how the hell do you find a pair of spectacles in the sea. But somehow Shaun managed to pick it out for me.
Alot of photos on FB if you want to see all can go and see! I'll just pick out some of my favourites.
Haha Nigel (top left guy) has his eyes closed. Probably one of the biggest turnouts besides the first day, because everyone loves Beach Day!
Ok let me explain this photo. We were playing one of the station games, and this game was basically like there is a waterbomb like 10 metres away. So it's a OG vs OG thing, one at a time each group will have one person who has to roll across the sand (imagine a log rolling) and reach the water bomb, then pick it up and smash it on the opposite OG's person.
How they picked people was that we were assigned numbers before the game, then the station IC will give a 'riddle' like how many legs does a spider have? then the #8 person of both OGs have to go.
So it was halfway in the game when the riddle's answer was my answer but i didn't catch the question.. Then the other group's girl started rolling already. Then i only realised it was me when she was HALFWAY on the course. Then i just dived to the sand and basically rolled so fast then i overtook her! hahahhaa. look at this picture, i'm already grabbing my waterbomb and she's nowhere to be seen lol.
Ok
The sun was making this nice golden glow on our faces! So we took quite a few pics like this.
Another golden pic.
Isn't this damn cool? It's 100% natural, no photoshop at all!! I don't know what happened to the camera lens, like it was semi-open or something. So this was the result. Damn cool right!! The whole effect.
Trying to spell 'Karma' (my group's name was Skarma), though i think our M quite ugly.
SKARMAAA. Last shot at the beach before we went over to Harbourfront to grab dinner.
We were on the way back after eating and all.. then we all suddenly realised Munching was barefoot! (fyi there's no such word as barefooted)
It was only then that she told us that she lost her slippers at Sentosa! And she was damn nonchalant about it! Like oh, no big deal. She's damn amusing la.. like she says she loses things very often so it's like, nvm one :S
So she basically went home all the way without wearing any footwear -_-
Day 4 - Thurs and Friday
Let's see.. Thursday was 'Sports Day', but it was essentially just station games though they claimed it was supposed to be more 'sporty'. Didn't see how it was though.
Oh yea and.. the supposed meeting time was 10AM in school.. i came at 10.15AM expecting to be slightly late.. and there were only like 15 people in the entire S HOUSE. -_- (one OG has like, 20 people). And by 11 or something there were only 7-8 people in my OG la -_-
So demoralising, like i so on come then like everybody pon. I heard arts camp was better because it's a stayover camp, so you don't go home and don't feel like coming back. O Week wasn't stay over (for all days) so it encourages people to pon -_-
Dammit man i should've gone for arts camp. stupid reservist. (i had reservist during arts camp)
And erm, there aren't any photos of this day. I think too few people come then noone wanna take photo lol.
The stayover was okok lor.. played some random games like 'I never'.. and I think i established my 'i'm a nice guai guy who haven't done alot of dirty things' image because like.. all the things i never do before lol. I shan't mention them here.
Had a nice chatting session with Joy. Munch and Tengyong after supper. Didn't sleep at all! If you exclude the -close eyes for 30 minutes because really felt like KOing and then have to wake up because we had to clear the room- part.
Felt super shack la! then somemore still got war games in the morning.. which were basically very dirty station games. Erm, dirty as in, messy dirty. Not pervertic dirty. yea.
Like, roll in the mud, having chilli sauce smeared on my body, sitting on flour + hershey's syrup.. yadayada.
There are some photos but I'm like bare body in some so i shy. HA.
then after that we just waited around for Rag to start(exhibition of floats made by all the faculties with some dances), had some prize presentation (damn i didn't win best freshie rawrrr. Always like that, my facils tell me they vote for me then i always never get. psych camp also lidat) but my House won the best house!! Go S House!!
We're doing our trademark S House signal.. We will slap our chest and do a hitler like gesture like this and go 'SUI AH'. Quite fun to do la, when all do together. Got the 'sehh' one k.
There is actually a video of us doing the S House cheer which i stumbled upon on FB.. but the cheer quite dirty one hahaha so i don't wanna post. I'm a guai boy remember? :p
Yuppp and that's a wrap!
I went to camp wanting to have fun, and i did, i was enthusiastic about everything and took part in everything. I really think whether you have fun is a choice, you just have to change your mindset.
Like i could easily have gone all emo and start ponning when i saw people not turning up.. but i just kept going and kept being ... fun? ahha.
I don't feel like I've forged any really really close friendships, though that is yet to be seen. Like maybe will somehow suddenly click very well with some people and study alot with them? lol i dunno. optimistic me.
Sure will see/meet up with my OG mates when school starts, hopefully can have some good friends that will last for life!!
Ok, time to go spend my remaining free time to play some more SC2, when school starts must mug like a toad!
(how did the term mugger toad come about anyway? A toad doesn't study and sure doesnt use a mug or resemble a mug. why is mugging = studying anyway? )
