i'm back.

yeah im back. finally. wahaha. after two whole days of non-blogging, im back again.
camp was rather fun. as in, there were times when i felt i dint really enjoy myself, but there were also times whereby i felt as though i enjoyed myself entirely. maybe partially cos i dint quite clique with anybody in my group during the course of the 3D2N camp. i know it's tough making new friends, but sometimes, when you start talking, you kinda know more or less whether you click with the person. get what im saying? and there were like 4 scgs girls in my group, and 3 acjc girls. imagine the kind of topics they were talking about. as in, not the bitchy kinda topics, but they talk about school life, people they were familar with. somehow when they were talking about those stuff, i couldnt seem to get any words through and i gave up in the end. i felt much happier when i walked around upper quad [yea yahui, upper quad has soooo much memories now.. ] with yuan or huiling. remembered on thurs evening me and huiling were having our 'evening jog' around upper quad cos she was teasing me about my timetable and i gave chase. that was fun. and walking with yuan to the milo truck drinking cold milo.. that was nice too. yeah. but somehow i guess my group members are nice even though we dont quite click. having my stats class with dawn [tan], weizhong, and shu-en.. my faci was damn nice too. he's alvan [dont ask me why his name is spelt this way, i have no idea too]. he was like a walking super market, giving us tidbits everytime.. especially his fruit tips and mentos. and he videotaped our group instead of just merely taking photos. he looked as though he was having fun with his video cammie.. wahaha. it's the dvd one, so it's like damn ex la. and he was nice enough to lend me his battery and charger when i ran out on bat. cos we were using the same nokia 3100 phone mah. grin. the girls are generally easy to talk to, and rather sweet. especially yilinn. she's like damn nice la.. the guys are alright.. with weizhong the hyper one, macho marvellous chunky monkey marvin, gary, joseph and clint. could see weizhong and shu-en hit off right from the start [dont get me wrong, i mean as friends. both are attached.] and somehow i just have a different frequency from marvin even though he was from hwachong canoe so i dont talk to him much.. gary was often not around and i found myself talking to joseph quite abit, as compared to the rest of the guys. somehow it just felt more comfortable. yea. as for clint, we have a standing joke for him 'where's clint?' cos he was always missing and the asking of the question became a standing joke for the rest of the camp. he's a scholar from phillipines btw and he's only bloody sixteen. my goodness. the age range for my group is like damn huge la.. 16-25. acks. wahaha. no wonder joseph kapt commenting there's an age gap but i think he was just kidding.

as for the camp itself, let me do my comments by sections instead of days yeah. grin.

food:
buffet style, relatively alright. but i discovered one thing about my group. they would only help themselves. look at it this way. i came from an environment where everybody helped everybody. especially hwachong, when we helped each other get drinks, food when the queues are like damn bloody long, but here, i did everything myself. they did it themselves too, plonked down and started eating. if i had the choice, i'd rather be helping people get their drinks, and in return, others do similar things and wait for each other to start eating before plunging into the pile of food. doesnt it seem kinda rude? i dont know. oh wells. i've grown immune to it anyway.

toilets:
heard about me complaining bathing in mobile showers right? yea that was exactly what we did. and they were located so bloody far from our sleeping quarters, by the time we reached our sleeping quarters after we finished showering, it doesnt seem to make any difference if we chose not to bathe.

sleeping quarters:
we slept in a seminar room with our buddy group, 76. airconditioned, carpeted floor and there was mostly enough space for us to sleep. and surprisingly for once, i dint stay awake for any night. couldnt be bothered since nobody wanted to stay up late.

[by the way, our group name is 75g. not 75 grams but 7 girls 5 guys. exactly. cool sia?]

telematch:
the funnest thing. grin. it kinda broke the ice for our group members and we had fun during the telematches, trying to do our best to earn as much points as possible for bidding later. the most memorable one was definitely the paint-the-oversized-shirt one. cos we had to use our nose tip to paint, and marvin and weizhong [who were wearing the oversized shirt] were commenting they never had girls so up close with faces so near to their bodies when in actual fact we were painting pictures with paint on our nosetips. yeacks. but basically the games were rather clean. alot cleaner than rgs and hwachong orientation. really. and alot 'cleaner' than the NUS and NTU camps. nothing like making girls sitting on guys' laps and making guys do pushups above girls. you get what i mean.

bidding:
this must be the greatest joke of camp. we only got a yellow spray paint, 5 rolls of twine [which 3 came free] and one uhu glue stick after the first day of bidding. like what the hell can we build with that? i know, we had 3 humongous pieces of cardboard and 3 bamboo poles but still. slacked the first day. second day we had 700 odd points [and we heard we were one of the richest groups around] and we threw in 300odd points for a box of markers they gave us only one in the end. like what the fuck? 300odd points for ONE marker? great. but we managed to come up with something great and im damn pleased with myself. wahaha.

murder hunt:
damn shacked by this event. and i am freaking black now [yes like bitumen i know] due to this. walked the whole of botanic gardens in search of clues and people to put bits and pieces together and to solve the mystery. but it was fun i must admit.

float:
we did a float that resembled a popcorn box, with popcorn and a monkey popping out right in the midst of the popcorn. damn cute la. and the monkey could be rotated by someone hidden in the box [and DK took over the role of rotating the monkey inside] and weizhong did a damn nice fisherman's net to prop up our newspaper-balls popcorn. wahaha. and we finished it in a short span of time. such that we still had time to sleep on the second day. maybe cos night walk was cancelled. dimmit. it was cancelled cos the aircon died on the facis in the house and soon it affected the entire campus so we were made to sleep w/o aircon for a while..

think enough of description le. im tired myself. wanna go sleep before meeting og for lunch tmr. goodness knows where they wanna eat. and we've already lined up og dinner on wed night at dan ryans. goodness knows where, provided i've spelt the restaurant/pub correctly. it's supposed to be somewhere near tanglin. i'll go figure.

ooh and yea, i love our float cheer. damn funny. the three guys (aka. LN, joseph and jeremy) came up with it using variations of their army cheers. goes something like this [provided i dint quite forget them already..]
