Now: 12.48am 4 July 2008

Just came back from School of Design & Environment (SDE) Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC). Ok, in short, SDE FOC la. It was a 4D3N camp but it's more of a 4D4N camp la. Cos we ended at 10.30pm. Take photos until 11plus, reach home at 12 plus the next day.

Anyway, I had great fun at the camp on the whole. For one thing, my OG is a pretty nice bunch of people. Maybe partly because I have tried to talk much much much more than I usually do to strangers. But I get the feeling that I still talk too little. :S

I realised I really do need some personal space, personal time each day to do what I want to do, what I wish to do. During the camp, every single minute is spent in the presence of at least one other person. It got on my nerves by Day 2. Er ya, then I became very mean, short tempered, unresponsive and un-enthusiastic. Really appreciate my OG mates for tolerating it for the last few days. :)

Play a game during the camp that required the guys to pass the girls from one side of the spider web to the other side. Felt so bad being so heavy. I know the guys had trouble getting me across. It doesn't matter if it's my bones is heavier or I'm just plain fat. The fact remains that I weigh a certain amount of weight. Maybe I should just blame it on gravity. Heh.

Turned out I didn't have to be too worried about the 'strong NUS tradition' of getting guys and girls to play stupid games together. The games were ok and in fact quite fun. :) But SDE seems to have lots more girls than guys so most of the games I pair up with girls. But I realised I am one of the youngest around, what with me being a JC student and being born in the 3rd quarter of the year.

Oh ya! The Fate Night aka speed dating aka blind (literally) dating. We were blind folded and led to different tables and forced to interact with people we have never known before. Oh, and we were given nicknames. Mine was Ashlee Simpson (at least it's not the sister. I don't want to be associated with a fucking bimbo). I think we moved around quite a lot and it went on for 2 hours. Ya, it was taxing on the brain man. Don't know what new things to say after you have repeated yourself everytime you meet new people. BUT! I have no cause to complain. Cos the guy in my group really quite shuai and he's in PFM too. HAHA! They say he's a combination of Wu Zun and Jay Chou. But I think he looks more like Wu Zun. Too bad never take photo with him. Hee.

Met a lot of people I knew in secondary school and JC at the camp as well. I saw a lot of AJCians but I've never seen them before. And I met the Yvonne from Campus Superstar Season 1. She's in Real Estate.

Many many thanks to my OGLs: JUNE (Best OGL), JIE YI, HUI ZHEN, YI XUN, NORTH/ ALFIAN, VANCE and HENRY for making the camp so much more fun. And to Jie Yi who trys to talk to me and explaining to me many of the confusing + complicated aspects of school. :)

And my my OG's yan daos and chio bus: JU MING, MEI YING, JIE YING, WEI SHI, JOCELYN, CARMEN, JANICE, XIN LING, ANSLEY, SHEUN, WAN YI, JODIE, SHIN, VICTOR (Best Freshie (Male)), RONALD, BENJAMIN, YU QIAN, KOK HONG for making the camp enjoyable. Plus all the gossiping sessions about the traffic lights and the whys and hows of the transition from one light to another. It was fun listening. If one day you guys are interested in my story, I'm more than willing to share it. Haha!

I guess I'd better go off to lalaland. I was just afraid that in the morning I wake up everything would have felt like a dream. Events become surreal after a night's sleep for me. I have done more in the past four days than I had in the past ½ year after A Levels. There is a sense of achievement in that. :)

Let's meet up before school opens in August. :D I so look forward to it! Hopefully this friendship forged will last forever and ever. HOT STUD FRIENDSHIP : PRICELESS

Love you guys in Maroon 5! <3
