YES! I’m finally back! Well, technically I was back quite a few days back. Thursday to be exact. Thing was that I just couldn’t find time to sit down and blog. hahas.
The previous week has been fun but also ‘sleepish’. The orientation camp was good, but same old ‘clicking’ problem was present as I’ve expected. But all and all, it was a good experience. The monster hunt, station games, amazing race, water games, war games, cheers, and ‘free-time’ games were great. Learnt quite a few good games which I think can be played during gatherings or parties. Some games are rather silly but intriguing. Like ‘hai dai’, ‘hei zhi ma bai zhi ma’ (which translates to black and white sesame in English), ‘vampire vampire’, ‘wu ling da hui’, and my personal favorite, the ‘tuo yi’ game.
Just like any other camps, cheers are part and parcel of each activities. By the second day, my throat got kinda irritated from all the shouting and yelling. But managed to pull through nonetheless. Also as expected, there were people who can’t really shout. People like the GL. Haha. His voice turned ah pek on the 3rd day and I could barely hear him talk at times.
The highlight of the camp was the monster hunt, a.k.a Fright night. It wasn’t that scary, considering the fact that we’ve been through scarier events. Nonetheless, it was a really fun night, in a sense that we’ve to find out who the murderer was, by going walking round the campus (NTU has got REALLY creepy places I tell you) and searching for clues and asking the characters questions. The seniors did a really good job making up the entire thing. The black and white, long tongued gate keepers looked really creepy, the mannequin they threw from the 4th storey down and landed with a ‘thump’ which shocked us, the solo crawl under the big water tank which made the girls cry, and that walk ‘down hell’ which made Kenneth scream like a girl. It was really fun that night. Just that it ended really late that night, causing people to very much stone the next day.
Well, the other activity that was really thrilling was the war games. In particular, the ‘fruit ball’ was my favourite. It was played exactly the same as Captain’s ball. Just that this time, the ball is being replaced by fruits. The first one was watermelon, second was banana, and then papaya. There were also durians, but we didn’t get to actually play with it. It was more like a hoax to excitement to the game. Managed to score a goal with a pseudo basketball move, but still lost in the end. Tsk. But it was fun. It was also during the war games we got to know that Yechao is a Haidai expert. This guy is really good at Haidai and he single handedly ‘killed off’ three quarters of the opponent’s Haidai exponents. Kinda scary, the way he plays it. Or rather, intimidating. But I guess that’s how it was supposed to be played.
So much for the camp I guess. There were many other activities too but guess I’m too lazy for now. School’s gonna start soon and I’ve got my timetable. Thing is, it looks even better than my previous JC timetable in terms of no. of lessons and lectures; but at the same time, that means we are very much expected to do tonnes of personal revision and self-studies. Lessons start at 8.30am each day except on Tuesday, but it ends at 7.30pm. It’s a 5day study week and I can shoo at 3.30pm. Should be meeting up with the girls after school. Think they’re ending early too. Or rather, one of them doesn’t even have school on that day. Think its Ber. Right? Speaking of which, she wants my handwriting. HMmmmm. How weird. What a thing she’s asking for. *shrugs*
And so, here starts the life of tertiary education. Soon after, our first step into the ‘real’ world. It's good to know that someone's there to hold your hand as you go through changes in your lives. Ain't it?
