It's been AGES since I last blogged! The longest record I must say. Well, it's cuz life's been B-U-S-Y! Hardly any time to take a breather. But I'm enjoying i must say :)
Two weeks ago, 25th July Fri, the hectic-ness all began! There was band prac at tj at night which ended horrifying late. Thus, a late night.
26th July, Sat. 2 piano kids, 2 tuition, combine at tj hence, late again. It was fun though cuz alot of ppl were amazingly there! From my batch I mean.
That's us, walking at Bedok interchange to our usual hangout at Macs! Where we sat the round round chairs!
27th july Sunday. Horrifying. I had to lug a super big bag, a sleeping bag, shoebag, a bag of new piano books for my students PLUS 7 hula hoops! All the way from home, to the bus stop, through 3 buses, and to my workplace. After that, on the bus to Clementi, through mrt, and bus 199 to hall, where I was roomless and spent the night sleeping on sofa cushions at SCRC room with roomie, junijie, and 2 new freshies. Pretty much slept like at 1+am! But I sat a pretty cool bus, something like the nokia bus. But this was done by NTU's Science dept I think! At least the cushions weren't falling apart like the nokia bus. Or maybe they were just newer.
28th July Monday. Had to get up at 9+am to prepare for pool games. I guess it went well (I hope!) Although it was tough shouting and getting ppl to listen to you and to run the whole game. But I had fun and I hope they did too! SUNBURNT! Pool games were at like 11am to 1pm! Following which they had Campus Walk games around school which we didn't join. hM and me went walking around to get the key from the freshies. And after flopping onto the sofa cushions in SCRC room for awhile, we went to paint a banner! With Jiande and Yiming and later Derren.
Nice right? Wahhaa. Any guesses as to what the brown thingy underneathe the welcome is! I painted the white parts! hM wrote the welcome words plus her uber cute giraffe haha. Although I still think giraffes are yellow with brown spots!
Chilled out quite abit in Leewei's room after programmer briefing for the next day's events. Took a shower and followed the block out for block supper! Got to know a few ppl from our block. Pretty nice ppl :) We got back early and played our latest favourite game, the bang-bang game, with block70 seniors, sitting in the middle of the carpark! Till latelatelate. THEN, I sat a motorbike for the first time! Thanks to John! :) It was G-R-E-A-T!! Super shoik mann! Then, sat alex's car and went up to 140km/hr! TWICE. Couldn't stop um-chio-ing. It was super cool! Yet another late late night! This time round, the freshies had their room alr, so did junjie. So shumin and xinyi came down for the aircon instead!
29th July Tuesday. We woke up early! 830am assembled for dragonboat at kallang! I joined them in rowing. Pretty good experience I must say. Like I said, an experience. Although I was quite hopeless at it haha! Sunburnt yet again! Took the lorry over to Fort Canning Park as we we were stationed there for Amazing race. On the way there dropped by at icantrem where to get drinks where we saw TP catching ppl for jaywalking! Xinyi n me took the castle area, hM tiffany n john went somewhere further down. We got bored sitting down there so we both climbed the castle and sat up there n shouted down instructions! I thought the game was simple but fun! It was a 100plus day. I drank like 1 bottle and 2 cans I think. Thank goodness for xinyi's mp3 and cool small speakers plus her pack of cards where she showed me card tricks! BUT refused to teach me how to do them :( Anyway, we finished at around 5. And while waiting for the van to come pick us up, we cam-whored! All thanks, to JOHN. For 45 whole minutes we took pictures. IMAGINE! Considering how I don't usually like to take pics, it was actually fun :)
I went home after that. Bathed, ate, and dad came to pick me up at 8+ to bring the fridge and stuffs to hall, after picking sis up at J.P. After moving everything in, sis left, and I went over to block 72 lounge to join the other gal programmers there who didn't go camp christine. Played card games with hilarious forfeits! I think all of them rock. They're so ON! Thanks to james and his ghost stories, everybody refused to sleep till like 1+am. So there was Xinyi and me left in SCRC room.
30th July Wednesday. They went to buy supplies for the outdoor cooking, while I followed not-so-familiar block72 ppl in the lorry over to camp christine! It was red lipstick drawing day! Pretty fun. Didn't do much but sit around and get more sunburnt. Fun tho :) Left camp christine around 5+ to get a ride back to hall, where I started getting addicted to milo. Headed over to Bedok for band where hM and me died on the mrt. Band was cool, with Lin Sheng conducting! But he only did a shortwhile and other one took over. So sian. Didn't stay to eat but went home after that.
31st July Thursday. Didn't join them for floorball in the morning. Reached hall at around 2+ where they were having SP Preview part 2, revealing body parts, mainly noses. It's rather funny to watch! After all the noise, they left for SP night at 4+. We left for North spine at 530pm! To prepare for fright night. PIZZA for dinner! It was yummmyyy :) Suppose to start at 1230am, we started at 1am instead! And finished like at 6am+. It was quite boring and hot inside the room. But I thank God for His care and protection! :) Everybody was abit =X seeing it was like the first day of the 7th month haha. By the time I reached back to hall and bathed it was like 7am! BED WAS MADE! Sis rocks haha. So knocked off till 12+, where we got up to meet for lunch at function hall.
1st August Friday. It was a day to drink MILO! I drank like 2 packets and a can! Since we were stationed in the function hall, didn't need to move. (thank goodness! cuz it was freakingly HOT outside) We spent most of our time sleeping actually. Toilet paper roll as my pillow haha. Cuz the groups took SO long to come. We were so bored such that I acTUALLY agreed to play memory game with lols.
Sadly couldn't stay to see the end of FOC camp, or for the bbq either! I headed down to SMU, where I reached rather late and the entrance was like IN FRONT somemore. So paiseh when I entered. The talk was boring cuz I was like late and a little lost. The sandwiches were nice tho. TUNA SANDWICH! For my dinner. I even ate the tomatoes. I sat with Chiki and Marilyn! So funny, considering chiki's like my jc classmate. After the talk we walked to dhoby ghaut mrt! We walked by the Nationals Arts Museum and went 'WAHHHHhhh' cuz they had very nice lights projected onto the exterior of the museum which changed occassionally. VERY nice! Go check them out one of these days! I reached home about 10 plus but couldnt sleep! Had to mug finish the foreign exchange thingy first. But I gave up at 11+ and went to sleep.
FOC was GOOD GOOD GOOD! :) I reaLLY enjoyed myself :) I think out of this whole camp, I decided I really DO like making new friends. And I think John rocks big time! He took such good care of me n hM during the entire camp. I really really wanna say a bIG thank YOU to him! And provided much fun and entertainment too! haha. I think they all rock :) I wanna do FOC again next year! But a little hesistant cuz lols won't be there with me :( And it'll really be VERY different :(
Next part in next post!
