My fears were realized when we started learning and muttering cheers and catchphrases that meant no logical sense *eyyeyyshamerlehhhh* and further joined in the Bengification of the male population "aoo aoo naga aoo...."After a round of sadistic icebreakers smacking each others' thighs red, we headed down for telematch games, designed and tweaked to make everybody stinky, dirty, or injured! Our first game was mix n' match..we were first to tio eggs! Thankfully, with a bit of well-coordinated timing between the guys orchestrated by Matthew n' Co and a little leg squat, we managed to allow the poor souls behind us *a.k.a SQ* to join in the fun of being smashed with eggwhite/yolk!
Nonetheless, we all got smeared with the stinkysolution, and afterwhich while trying to gunk Melvin with cornstarch glue, I happily got FF'ed by my entire OG..and became the only fella out of both teams to kenna gluepaste! Low morale..
ZhiPai Queen and her Disciple-in-Training..so shag still can pose
Day 1 practically ended with everyone getting dirty n' injured *poor khengsoon self-sacrificed with all his acrobatic escapades in dodgeball!* ChongHwee also did a few mega-wushu stunts during sumopainting, engaging in splits and whatever well-rehearsed groin-injuring antic to garner wins for the team..but nonetheless we suffered heavy losses that day. With 1 man down to Blisterville, Naga decided to win at all costs...But hey, that broken nose wasn't part of the plan!
Ohkay..so we went down to SecretPal night 1, when we each entertained 4 members of the opposite gender with boring stories of NS, work and school. Of course, some ESPECIALLY lucky people managed to be touched by the Hand of g0d! I was feeling pretty lucky that night, since the aforementioned gentleman was tickling my hand while trying to masquerade as F4...ouch..I really din dare to ask if her hand was that rough!
Anyways, we had Mass dance on Night1, did RetroDance which looked pretty funky..just that whenever we try it we kinda look like headless chicken..all monkey see monkey do until can't even remember any step!
Day 2
Pool Games day! Everyone went out with gao gao layer of sunblock on their faces. We played Pool Mahjong..when guys flexed their toe muscles grabbing tiles frm the wading pool while girls sat piggyback being their eyes *frankly, nearly every game used this formulae..guys = meat slave, girls = brainiacs* We guys each took turns to TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM during the games, with Wenhao being the MVP of the day during Damsel in Distress. It took literal amounts of cheer-power to get the poor fella to the other end of the pool, and I'm not discounting the fact that I sat out that one cause I was the weakest swimmer!
a picture of the Machines and their Pilots of the round..for a pic of those who escaped a gruesome fate pls rfr to KS' blog..
After seeing the uber-gross DragQueen Competition *thankfully they found a replacement!*, we went off for faculty walk games! Before I continue, I must concurr that majority of us still think Khengsoon could have pulled off a respectable dragqueen! Anyways, after lunch and a PhotoWhoring session with iCafe, we set off for faculty walk games, when we managed to win 5 out of 6 games! I swear we could have won all, if ChongHwee didn't listen to the opposition team to drop the sponge! :P
Okay, so we trashed the opposition 3-0 at Dice-Guessing game, pwned them at the Maze with abit of single-layered blindfold cheating, devastated them with some questionable attempts at Charades..but the night ended off with Mystery night! It was a really original and creative attempt as a spinoff from all the usual FrightNights everywhere..for once, most of the stations had us freaking ourselves out instead of using people! Nonetheless, full marks to Sara's station..Ameet can really scare people with his hair let down..
Dunked..
Mochi-ed..
Buried..
..and TaoPokked!
No man was left unharrassed..
The 3rd day marked the day when the Naga mascot became a warbanner. It also marked the day when a fateful alphabet decided to depart from the sign, turning us all into Nags. -__-
Prior to the camp, I measured a cool 176 cm. I wonder how much taller I grew after that..being yet another *shoulder to rest on* for the apple-eating game. KhengSoon n' I became the two towers of support while Lingjie n' Azelia enjoyed their time with the lucky apple. It really felt like an eternity, but I suppose the apple juice really kept us awake!
Oh, we played this Scissors Paper Stone game variation..just taht it became Wolverine, Cyclops n' JeanGrey! Unfortunately, through the severe enthutiasm of the two teams to win, poor Wolverine became ChickenWings and JeanGrey became either ChweeKueh or Stingray..there's many instances when the opposition arrived at our location and just screamed CHWEEKUEHHHH right in our faces, before dispatching us off with a well-placed Wolverine!
Later came the time when we had Wargames, when you could see the veracity of the girls UNLEASHED. Me n' ks were sitting out of that because of our respective injuries to our right n' left legs, mine due to a well and strategically impaled stone in the heel. We saw point-blank vendettas fought out, faces of cunning betrayal and accompanying faces of shocked gong-ness. Sadly, the latter all belonged to our house, for we were mass-bombed 3:1, with interlopers raiding our ammodump and using the said ammo to lob water into our pail. I swear you could have fuelled a camel with the contents of our pail..
After the games, we had round-island medallion collection! Not forgetting that only Sebastian wore swimming trunks that day, the rest of us guys tried our very best to avoid further collateral damage to our bodies..though it was albeit futile. We TRIED our very best to hustle from station to station, with majority of us guys sitting out on the brainy decisions and forging ahead when brawn's required. I don't know, I'm pretty sure KS and I did. Dragon trail was funny, especially when me n' ks ran slippers flippity floppity down one path while Sebas ran the other in search of the hidden Magic Skewer *wow..a broken satay stick?!* Kheng Soon's 2nd pair of slippers bit the dust then, and it was all I could do to suppress my laughter until the rest arrived.
Anyways, we ran station to station, doing funny things from posing to emulate a photo while tourists happily snapped photos at our apparent hilarity to doing the ol' transfer the card via the mouth that happens in every camp I see *note, it was really funny the way how yl TOOK DOWN sebastian just to pass the card!* That game was yet another fine example of how us guys randomly TOOK ONE FOR THE TEAM. Clearly teamwork was fostered and forged during this very day, for the next morning, desperate calls for an AGM were heard throughout Eusoff Hall's corridors.
Finally that night, we had our SP heart-to-heart chat with our chosen SPs. Wow. Revelation and exasperation combined as we realized our codenames. Peter Parker and Mary Jane?!?! I was about to raise a complaint until Kheng Soon was called Batman and his subsequent partner, Catwoman. I silently counted my blessings, and carried on with my entertaining. Games were played that night, such as the CORKSCREW UNWRAP, where Sebastian was succintly caught on video doing the manoeuvre perfectly.
Other activities included councillors pieing you in the face, councillors laughing at your ensuing sheepishness, and councillors taking photos of you in different states of distress. Thank goodness I was not haunted by Matthew and his trusty camera. My GC kept on whispering in my ear to get the number/traffic status of my SP and goading me on to date her out while the whole night wore on..I had a good mind to give him a pummeling afterward though!
Day 4
Ang Mo Kio Stakeout!
What happens when NUS students raid a neighbourhood? Shameless harassment of the public, the scouring of NTUC, and probably alot of business for S11 Hawker Centre. I swear the exco got paid commision for the advertising of the banmian stall! 
Two poor souls harangued into posing with us..at the MRT.
Yup, we managed to harass an Auntie to do a part of our massdance for us at the MRT station, found 5 out of 6 of our names in a bag full of 400+ Ameet Singhs, the council's replacement for *Thank you for your participation*. We also raided NTUC to search out their products. Our group couldn't find PB and PolarBear. This gave way to a very embarrassing situation while I was scouting the Healthcare section. Apparently there was a package that looked pretty much like PB, after all it was only 2characters. Eyes gleaming, I charged forth into that particular aisle, N73 at the ready to snap an all-important photo to end the game. However, before I could do so, a hushed silence reigned over my entire surrounding..so happens that I had ventured into Man's Forbidden Island, the Female Healthcare section. To further compound my foreboding, the green little package I had in my hand while gleefully aiming the camera at was a package of...well, women's monthly uses.
I'll never forget the faces of those ladies that day.
Crazy things aside, we went down to S11 for a crossword puzzle that decided our lunch. Penang Laksa was on the list, and yet thoroughly avoided by everybody..which was pretty much a smart choice, since us guys had heavy cargo readied since morning.
All the food at S11..the Penang Laksa was well avoided though!
The games ended thereafter due to a lack of time, and we headed back by bus, with all of us guys trying to eavesdrop on what the girls were gossiping about us/our traffic status/their *or lingjie's!* ideal partner!
After reaching home ground, we had to quickly prepare for the final SP dinner when we finally unveiled how hideous we looked after the entire camp to our SPs. Of course, Matthew came along to take pictures of everybody, and definitely we couldn't leave our OG's SP Star..looking all raring to go with a rose in hand and killer lips at ready again! *lol bro you rock!*
Whew, I'm lazy to upload anymore photos! Anyways, I was pretty lucky to get a responsive SP whom I could rattle on to all day. Poor KS..wished I could help him crack his partner up, but ended up banging my head on the wall as well! She's really two worlds apart from him le! Haa..nevermind, we'll have better luck at CAC camp!
Next up was Mass dance competition, and probably the most memorable one I've ever had so far. Which mass dance competition have you ever seen when everybody forgot the counts, the steps, and subsequently engaged in a bout of Taijiesque Beyonce Dance? Kheng Soon finally managed to put to use the very dance move that's characterized Naga..his WZX dancemove! Seeing as that we were the first OG to screw up, it probably brought down the house as he was taking CENTRESTAGE. Haa..probably it would have been very very very embarrassing if he wasn't around to take lead! Oh, and did I mention about the Random Number Generator already? I don't know, I just grabbed sQ who was most accessible then, and we didn't even reach the couple dance part! :P
Later on the live band came up, then everyone went clubbing mood alr..well seeing as that it wasn't really as rowdy and disturbing, everyone joined along! All the moves you'd never imagine yourself doing just started popping out..corny ones, lame ones, downright ugly ones, even though we were standing smack in front, who cares? Nobody's looking! However, I do have a certain movie clip taken by a certain somebody of a CERTAIN group of people doing a CERTAIN dance to Maroon5..prolly will keep that as blackmail material someday.
Ohkay! So camp ended on a high with an AGM that took us down to 4am, with sQ suggesting a Truth game that was interestingly entertaining..KhengSoon and Sebastian did have funny questions that belied their very own personalities!
Yup, so that was the eventful 4 days that we shared as Naga. It's been fun, prolly we'll get to sit tgth at lectures and mug for the first year! Its nice to know so many siao on ppl, so I hope uni life won't be as sad as it seemed back then! *after all..my classmates all went NTU :(*
