Arts Camp 07 1:46 PM

After a 13 hour sleep today, i have finally recovered from the camp! How, to say, hmmm the overall feeling i get is fun! Cuz of the many guys, gals, i met there, and the crazy, coloured games. It was a great experience. But i find maintaining the weak bonds formed then very difficult. With work, i cant meet up, and with blocked access to computers, i cant chat them up on msn. Anyway, here's the summary of the 5 days! *applause*

Day 1

Met with Evonne and Yan Wei (my bro, MY OGL, kindly intro us before the camp so we can go down together ^^) at woodlands mrt. It was good to have company. I would have felt so lost. And later it turned out that Evonne is the most gung ho of the group, and Yan Wei the quieter of the guys. A strange company, that i may be in if we decide to study at woodlands library together. But then, that's how uni relationships work. Flimsy, yet essential. (am i wrong to say that? But this is just the beginning. It will strengthen. ^^)

And we entered the rowdy hall together when i finally got to see my bro in the role of OGL. And we sang the welcome song and made self introductions countless times as new people joined us. It was so messy then! With new faces all around, some shiny, some closed, and we played games the whole day, some storyline thing, and at night, we went to West Coast park for more at the obstacle courses there. Whew long day. And at night, we still had to queue for the toilet and i was still wearing my jeans -_-. Finally got to sleep at 2+am.

Day 2

And now for the people of my OG!

There is Adelaine, the pretty pretty one.

Zhi jun, the calm, confident one.

Cindi, the chirpy chatty one that became my partner (in crime? haha).

Therese, the drama tai tai who i sometimes ham around together, especially during the speed dating segment, scaring many guys away ^^.

Evonne, the tough gal.

Khai Jun, a quieter gal who hides a chatty cheena her.

Marilyn, a gal with great healthy skin with a regal air.

Ya yan, the leader of the group, whom i may not agree with sometimes, but she is an observant gal who doesnt look down on quiet people.

Shu fen, a energetic gal.

Fiona, a great gal to have around, but she keeps popping and leaving the camp, which is a shame as i felt good with her.

hope i didnt leave anyone out.
Ok now for the guys.

There's Bennet, a great guy, a tanned blurry guy who stayed calm and herded us even when me, Cindi and Carissa (one of the councillors) were screaming all over him during the haunted toilet segment. (darn scary lah. i couldnt sleep properly at night after that).

Qiao zhi, the blurry guy who turned out to be the great lamer, who is artistic and is chained to our Spongebob mascot, which he somehow became married to as they shared a room for 3 nights lol.

Alywin, the nice friendly guy who turned out to be a flirt (ouch). He appeared in the xiao hua xiao cao track advertisement.

Yan wei, the fellow woodlander. Hmmm he seemed chatty when we first met.

Ok back to the events. Actually only a few memorable ones stand out among the rest. I feel tired typing them all out. Ok there was the

Haunted Toilet
We waited about 2+nours before our turn. Felt sleepy but once we were called, fear woke me up. And we linked our arms and went to our station. Bennet had to try to split himself up as we complained our sides/front/behind was unprotected. And when we stepped in, i somehow became the first *_*. It turned out to be a toilet (why oh why) and i could make out a tall hooded figure sitting silently at the corner. I started screaming, setting off the other 2 gals. The rest were chaotic. We kept screaming (actually it was me and Carissa -_-) whenever a new ghost appeared. 4 in all. Ugh. One on the floor, one 'hanging' from the ceiling, and one when we tried to leave. They kept moving towards us!!!! Augh. We were stuck at the door there, cornered by the 4, and Bennet kept urging us to move out. lol. Brrrr.

Sentosa night
I had a great chat with my SP (secret pal), Michael. We were blinded folded at first, and we sat on the beach. We share so many interests! Fantasy stories, anime, japanese, RPG games, walk around encyclopedias when we were kids etc. We just talked all the way. And when we took down our blindfolds, we were shyshy! lol. It's so hard for me to talk comfortably to a guy, one to one. But now, i feel that i still cant trust him? With a pinch of salt please. ^^

DXO night
When i was introduced to the world of clubbing. And i still dont like it. Thankfully, the og gals all left before the real thing started and we went to Gloria Jean's cafe to chill and chat. When we went back, it was hellish. Drunks and dirty dancing (according to some). Ugh. I felt so tainted. Too innocent in this mature world. The dark side of uni life looms.

War games
A massive house vs house water bomb war. It was great fun! My house, Afro (hence the many Gatsby tuned cheers), were whammed by all the other houses. It was exhilarating, when one of our tankers (mini groups charged with attacking and defending) threw a single water bomb, and 12 flew towards us. But it was dangerous too when Evonne got hit at the neck at high impact (i could feel it as i was next to her! '_'). And someones spectacles lenses came out and landed on the soggy muddy grass.

Farewell
Tears were shed. I cried a bit during the video and when 2 of the house in-charge came up with a long tale of friendship (it was their final year). The 2 guys cried a little and that just hit me hard. Evonne, Adelaine cried lots and looking at them sets me off further. As only 1/3 of the og gals were left, we were a small group. And then came the exchange of gifts between SPs and it turned out Michael had left early. (my poor avocados. They are now sitting in the fridge waiting to be eaten ^^)

And i went back with bro and Evonne. Home sweet home. I felt like a stranger. It was already evening, and we lugged our luggages back, me and bro. Never mind that some didnt believe that we were sibs (his frens didnt tink highly of me too. :p). We were just thankful that we were home. And my mind was full of cheers, like Neh Mind (point to chest then temple ^^), and Watever etc. After a few days of alternate constipation and diarrhoea, here i am, back home.

I cant wait for the next camp! The Union Camp, from 10-14 july. May it be as good as Arts Camp! (though my bro kept saying i will be wasting my time etc -_-) K off to the toilet!

(and the humdrum of working life settles back in. But it's great hanging out with Pak Wing, Yi Wei, my senior NUS ppl. It's true that as u get older, u get more situationally aware and calm and confident. Ooooo)

(And there are so many follow up activities, i dunno how to schedule them! There's og/house outings, O week (whether as a freshie or councillor, im still not sure), Rag and Flag. Different opinions about all these, and mine is not as strong to me. It's time to stand my ground and believe in what i think. Yeh Man!)

mood: constipated, heaty, anticipation
listening to: feng by jay chou (so qiao! haha)
