ok just came back from LOST camp. it was a 2d1n camp held at nus. well didn't really expect much actually. i guess the activities of the camp were quite fun, just that i would have to say that since i've been to so many camps, i'm actually quite immuned to the level of excitement a camp can bring to me, especially when the camp itself is so short. felt that bonds weren't forged well enough (prob due to the duration of the camp, and also prob due to the fact that within the group itself, there was already segregation right from the start.). but i guess it was good enough that i got to know some people, and also got to know the school a lil better.
went jogging on the evening before i was supposed to go for camp. knew that it'd prob drain my energy, but ah well. it's not so often that i have a motivation to go jogging. lousy me was tired during the 2nd round and decided not to go for the third round cos i knew it'd kill me even before i went for camp.
didn't know why i couldn't sleep at night, and i was trying all methods to make myself fall asleep. couldn't really wake up in the morning. and the way to nus was so irritating cos there were just SOOOOO many people on the train. had to squeeze my way through with my big camp bag. which is why i hate taking mrt during peak hours. argh. but anw, reached camp feeling super lethargic. quite a bad start to the camp cos of that. when we gotta to know our group, i was like omg. it was really a biz and arts group cos there were just so many girls! haha. not that it's a bad thing, but yeah, the ratio was quite scary.
we did some icebreakers, which were fine i think(i can't really remember what we did actually.=X stm. hai), thereafter it was amazing race which was supposed to help us know the campus well. but didn't work cos they led us everywhere and everywhere looked the same to me. heh. if i take bus i know the route lar, but not when i enter into the different fac buildings. omg i can just get lost anywhere lar. haha. somemore the school is on a slope. so you just get so confused. heh. but the games for amazing race were quite refreshing.
after lunch was a motivational talk, which to some extent was quite helpful to me. made me realise how un-motivated i am for uni. unwilling to start this new phase of life, unwilling to make new frens, unwilling to start working hard again, unwilling to have any goal in life once again. i guess i really need to start thinking through a lot a lot of stuff.
had a really short sp convo too. my sp was a year 2 going to year 3. he told me quite a lot about uni etc. quite nice lar. well at least there weren't a lot of awkward silences and we talked quite naturally. but very funny, cos while we were talking, our seniors made us hold our hands while talking. after a while, they said we could let go of our hands. then from below my blindfold, i saw there were hands holding his hand! HAHA. basically he was a senior whom the other seniors knew lar, so they were playing a prank on him.
then came this photo shoot game in which we were supposed to take photos of us doing weird stuff. again another way to let us know the campus better, but haha didnt help much as well. game involved us going to holland v and vivo, but we only had enough time for vivo. had dinner there, bought stuff for our sp, then went back to nus. and was SUPER late. in any case, it was fine cos we were waiting for other groups to have their fright night.
fright night itself...hmm i was actually quite scared. well considering i'm someone who always scare myself.=X kept imagining all the worst stuff that could happen, and was holding clara's and shafiq's (if that's how you spell his name) hands and i was in the middle all the way cos i was begging them. HAHA. nv really liked scaring myself. and so funny cos they were asking us to make the ghosts happy by screaming. heh. then shafiq was telling us the reactions of some of the people he scared when he was a ghost. SUPER amusing. heh.
came back from fright night (they brought us to a house supposedly for fright nights only), went to bathe (it was around 4am already by then), and then decided we should at least sleep for a while. went to sleep at around 5 plus, then woke up at 7am. washed up, then it was time to reveal our sp. haha. my sp was who i guessed, but he didnt buy anything cos he was too busy, which i actually guess cos he was a ghost for fright night, then he was one of the people executing the games and all that. prob didn't have any time to buy present.
after that we walked to west coast macs, which was SUPER far away, we were wondering how come they wanted us to walk there. after breakfast, we realised why. cos our war games were supposed to be there. haha. war games were actually quite fun. did things i haven done before, and was cheering till i almost lost my voice. but haha i think i'm used to it cos of match supports. one game we had to crawl under some wires, another one we had to climb up ropes. quite fine for me i guess. very long since i did some real physical activities, though they totally weren't intensive. haha. and my sp was conducting one of the games and he said our group was the most enthu group!=)
after war games, which made us all sandy and wet, we walked back to nus for our performances. our performance was quite good i think. refreshing i think. and we really made sure we coordinated it well.=) but of cos performing is nv my forte, so i was quite passive about it. and ulti won the amazing race!=)
reflection time. peiyun said i was quiet. HAHA! ok lar. after all, i always take ages just to open up. ah well. did all the stuff that an orientation shud have, so i thought it was a good choice going for the camp. at least i did experience some stuff.
ulti got third!!!=) good enough for a group with so many girls, cos we basically lost all the physical games. haha.
some photos!
pamela.
clara, xinling's fren whom i always hang out with during the camp.
adeline.
haha ok i only took photo with 3 person cos didn't have time. the rest i shud put up when they send them.
rushed to tampines for a movie with bro. invisible target was good in my opinion. a lot of actions, plus some emotional scenes. it's quite similar to new police story i think. bro said it was good too, so no regrets watching the show!
and i just realised the concurrent degree has only 6 students! SIX!! out of quite a lot in the list which i saw! and i thought i was one of the many who got in. ok not bad. that should boost my confidence a lil about my interview. but i think it wasn't really my interview which helped me, it was more like my past records which helped me. amazing isn't it, considering my results. but well i failed usp interview. hai.
piao ling yan by twins. the lyrics is good!=)
曲名：飘零燕 歌手：Twins 专辑：单曲
越来越少 和别人讨论想法
不懂的人 再解释也无法传达
可以亲切 却不亲密的我
隐藏挣扎
越来越常 去争执而不退让
现实的人 最喜欢去批评谁傻
越过现在 眺望未来的我
寂寞坚强
直到和你遇上 有一样的梦想
结伴飞翔 我们互相疗伤
也互相不认输 的成长
好朋友一句贴心话
翻不过 的心墙
至少被开了几扇窗
让飘零燕 挥舞翅膀
低空掠过 有泪的地方
带回忆的贴心话
让勇气 落了叶还能又开花
为飘零燕 指引迷惘
有梦的人 没时间绝望
我们是阳光 要绽放光芒
