08S56
but I can’t help it, I’ve been really really busy, and i’ve been too lazy to blog since I wouldn’t even know where to start from. Let’s see, Orientation was a blast, then there was OG BBQ at east coast park last friday which was basically a get together rather than a BBQ (amazingly there was actually food left over), but it was fun no doubt. Played all sorts of games (my cards got a good trashing after they used my cards to play Slapjack) Stayed there till like 11+ and it took FOREVER for my buses to come.
Also went for the B2B camp organised by ODAC during the weekend before the last. It was a blast! (Cheetahs FTW!) Had some random activities on the first night on friday in school (outdoor cooking competition, some mystery solving game later in the night where we had to solve a “murder”). Had Urban/Ubin expedition next morning. (ie. ran around singapore and took public transport and more running with our camping backpacks). Reached Ubin in the afternoon where we had to CYCLE around. I should point out that I STILL don’t know how to cycle (go ahead and go “HUH?!” and then proceed to laugh out loud) so I had no choice but to double bike. Was still kinda fun actually (except when Aaron INSISTED on taking his hands off the handle-bars several times while we were cycling). Eventually had our campfire in the night and had to perform our campfire skits (search for the next pussycat doll :D). We then had to do our solo night walks later in the night. I ended up being the first person to do the walk, so I had to sit down at the end point for 1 hour 40 mins to wait for everyone to finish walking. It was pretty thrilling in my opinion, though some of the girls were positively trembling, heard one of them go “Oh my god, I survived!” when she reached the end point. Went back to the campsite thereafter and slept in our 4 men tents, was quite an experience for me since I’ve never camped out before. Headed back to Singapore first thing next morning and proceeded to Kallang (imagine around 70 people or so boarding a double decker bus at once with camping bags slung over their shoulders. The driver was stunned) to dragon boat. It’s just a lot like kayaking I think, except there are a lot more people in the same boat as you. After the relatively short session, we finally went back to school (this time half the entire group took one bus and the other half took another. Both bus drivers were still stunned nonetheless). After washing the tents we slept in (it’s actually A LOT more fun than it sounds) we had lunch and soon broke camp after that. It’s an unforgettable experience for sure
Thanks to all Cheetah cubs and GIs for making it so much fun
Had the usual boring tutorials and lectures for the first 3 days of this week. Had JTS last night at Fish and Co. though for our camp group GIs. But I had to help out with painting the banner for the competition come Chinese New Year (granted I didn’t really do THAT much) with the rest of 08S56 (:P, hopefully either one of you 2 stumbles across this). At least it helped me kill most of the 4 hours which I had to stone for since our JTS started at 6 (it eventually started at 7+). Went to get a new pack of Bee playing cards at Parkway before going for JTS though (after what my previous pack of cards went thru during OG BBQ) and even got an Air Flow Bicycle deck for 17 bucks. It’s ex, but it is UBER UBER COOL. Seriously. Anyway just had loads of fun during JTS at Fish and Co. as expected (though we did end up having to foot 30 bucks each for the JTS… Hoping my OGLs and seniors class aren’t as greedy).
Got my O level results today obviously, won’t post my results here (for various reasons) but I’ll say I’m pretty happy with them
Now if only my mother would stop bugging me to go RJC/HCJC…
Here’s hoping I’ll post my next post soon…
