Attended the 7th Christian Youth Leadership Camp (Chinese) on Tuesday. Was allocated into the ‘Hokkien’ group. We were all grouped into different dialect groups. Hokkien was one of them. There were Teochew, Hainan, etc etc. It was a fun camp. VERY intellectual. It wasn’t like any camps I’ve been to. There were seminars, lectures, group discussions and sharing. Absolutely mentally draining.
Theme of the camp was “Bilingualism and Bi-culture”. Aim was to make the campers realize the importance of the Chinese language and culture. I guess, the gist of it would be: if you have it, don’t lose it. It’s a gift, for many of us are able to speak both mandarin and English. So use it. don’t lose it. =)
Perhaps the camp has made me realize that I’m not exactly ready to pick up a third language. Half buckets (ban tong shui) ain’t exactly what I’m looking for.
Went for rugby training on Wednesday. Weather was kind, but the pitch wasn’t. It was all wet and muddy. We looked like Commandos in Nikes and Adidas’ and my Brooks was totally wet and mudded at the end of the session. Oh, undies too.
Couldn’t get the hang of the game cause I was so used to the basketball style, where you pass and run ahead. But in rug, you’re supposed to run BACKWARDS after you pass. Kept making silly mistakes but it was fun. On the whole. Looking forward to the next training.
Met up with Ber later in the afternoon. Supposed to drop by Starbucks for free coffee (they were giving away free coffee on that day from 5-7 as a charity drive for the Salvation Army) but half of Singapore was queuing up for it in Orchard. ALL the outlets were bustling with people lining for free coffee. Ended up getting ice cream and fish balls from Taka.
Took a walk down to Heeren’s and did the most atrocious thing I’ve ever done in my entire life. Not going to elaborate more here. Haha.
Saw Jee and her BF on our way back home. Haha… It was kinda amusing. =)
Played Frisbee on Friday afternoon. Supposed to meet up at 10. But someone slept till like, 11am. Or was it 11.30???? Heh. Had some fun, and I propose the 6 of us should engage in some Ultimate Frisbee this season. Get more people! It’ll be great.
Then we all had dinner at Chinatown. MALA steamboat. Wonderful craving from Hoon. J afterwhich, drinks at TD’s café. (Oh, he didn’t turn up for basketball today. Surprised? I’m not. Haha.) Brother-sister connection still doing very good there. And I think you saw what you thought you saw. You know? =) Haha.

Courtesy of Siewling! Ripped off her blog. As Hoon refuses to take a new photo, this old one would suffice. You look like a dits. OOPS! See how PE and Alv is giving you that dumb look? =)
Sat was a very sinful day, for all the junk we dumped into our stomachs. KFC for lunch, buffet for Scott’s bday in the evening, the dessert, the beer, the packed food, urgh. I’m feeling fat. VERY fat. Oh, and I really think you two are mirror images. Super-imposable.
And today, basketball at it’s best since months back. Somehow I just couldn’t get the ball to drop, but we all had tremendous fun. 8 of us. Too bad the rest couldn’t make it. If not, it would have been a party at the court. Team ‘youth’ won all the way against team ‘ah peks’. Haha. Cool huh. Oh, and we beat those not-so-friendly bengsters 3 times in a row. Cheers!
Wonder what’s up next week. Haven’t had time to settle down and think about it.

All the best and have ‘fun’ at work!! Let me know how it goes? Though I seriously doubt you’ll ‘drop by’ to ‘say hi and goodnight’. It’s alright. I’ll msg. =)

Sometimes I just wish I had a reset button. Or maybe a delete button with recycling bin. Do you feel the same way too?
