Faithful to the tradition of a day-by-day recount of what happened during the camp, I'll try my best to keep it interesting for the memories to come..
Day 0
We arrived early at noon on Sunday to help prepare for the camp itself, but I ended up staring at the laptop, trying to work a nominal roll out. After all, throughout the camp I've always been the contact-person in case of any trouble/saikang/finance. I can't really remember much, but we pretty damned sat in clubroom and settled all the logistics issues and equipment before camp really commenced. Shifted out to LT7a for bedtime after a sneaky shower at RH, shared sleeping bags with KhengSoon. Boring day so far, I guess.
Day 1
Might I add: I was horribly and terrigibly sad that I had zero interaction with my adopted OG that day. Was standing at the registration booth and settling/counting money all the way throughout the afternoon, by then the war games had concluded. When night time came and people were settling in for mass-dance, I was down settling Camp T-shirts with Pearl n' Siewmun's help at RH dining hall, as well as churning out an updated freshie and councillor list so as to facilitate collection of camp fees the next day. After that we had the executive meeting about the next day, when I had to wake up at 6am to move out to Sentosa. Had a date with Yusof Ishak in my RH room later on, trying to find out why I always managed to find extra money in my cashbox.
Day 2
Sentosa! Early morning 6am I woke up and drove Mingquan's Volvo down to sentosa. Every time I wanted to switch lanes, I ended up pressing the windscreen wiper though, cause his Volvo's an Intercontinental car; the left and right handles were alternate in function. Although I wasn't a game station master again this time round, at the very least I managed to say hi to my OG at the beach that day. After all, its the day when all the Ha-Ha cards were given out for assassination contracts on everyone. I wielded pretty powerful cards this time round, holding a King, a Queen n' a Wild Card of my own face. =P Profoundly enough, some idiot just didn't like me very much, cause I landed up in the sea and was subsequently buried and heavily sand-crafted into beings of immense biological proportions. Worse of all, just after that said attempt on my pride came another similar attack, leaving me pantless and flabbergasted in the sea. Ohwell, I guess I can't complain, I managed to know a few of my OG freshies this way.
Sadly, upon getting wet, I somehow lost most of my Ha-Ha cards to the sea. DAMN!
After beach games I had to wash down and drive back to school to settle even more last minute stuff with KRH, before driving to Sheng Shiong to buy food for my barbecue. All in all, that day was the day when my licence was put into severe usage...my autocar handling skills at the very least.
Day 3
I can't really categorize the activity between Day2 or 3, because I spent the latter of the night after BBQ to count my money up to 5am in my room. Luckily I rigged up the ol' laptop to be my jukebox throughout the night, so it wasn't so bad staying up alone in my room amidst all the cash. Anyways, by the time I woke up, I was late for poolgames, and frankly, in neither shape to join in the fun. Too bad...heard from the freshies later on that it was quite spectacular.
Anyways, I headed down to LT3 for sponsorship talks afterwards, and was tasked to be the transport IC for our movie night. It was then when most freshies got to know me, although they knew me as "the crazy bugger driving the van" rather than my name. I swear, its cause of the horrible clutch-gear system of the van that I have to ram the accelerator everytime I move off from the slope with a full-load of freshies in the back.
Still, I accompanied my OG, Oyster, down to the movie location where all the acting happened. Was glad to finally have the opportunity to hang out with my gang of freshies...somehow felt pretty fatherly just looking after their welfare though. Hope this doesn't last, I ain't wana feel fatherly at a tender age of 22!
Concluded our movie night late at 3-4am, and moved our log equipment back to clubroom after that. Felt like I've never slept in ages, managed to concuss after bathing at 5am again.
Day 4
Woke up at 10 for a change, but the highlight of the day was the finale! Mingquan did a good job emcee-ing the event, and we had our crazy finale special performance by the band which really brightened up the mood. Mostly it was the camp comm zi-highing, but the entire camp managed to catch the fever, so it was really fun! We even threw Khengsoon all around, even up the stage for a certain performance for a certain girl ;) After the event was a round of photo-whoring which didn't seem to end..and yay, I just went around taking photos with every eyecandy I managed to scout out during my limited time with the councillors and freshies XP
Without running the risk of sounding too humsup, I hereby conclude MOST of the events for Engin Camp 08. There's more photos to be seen from facebook, though I admit, this camp I wasn't very much found in any photo cause I'm stuck in clubroom/my room counting coins/pennies/notes. Ohwell, that's my job anyways >__<
