omg, i'm back again! :)

hahaa..just came back from tham's house. we cooked roast chicken, miso soup, and loads of other stuff for dinner! and the best thing is...it tasted REALLY good! in fact, the dinner was fantastic for the money we paid...next time i'm gonna try that out myself..=]

ANYWAYS, i just came back from CAC camp, and I really enjoyed myself out there...more than I ever imagined myself to in fact! Maybe its cause I don't need to be fulfilling key duties out at CAC, just being a councillor for the entire camp was so liberating! Spent all my time with my cutest batch of freshies who never ceased to amaze me with their craziness..and hung out with all the cool people from Engin who came down as crashies! Hahaha...let's hope this account of the camp will be more entertaining than before!

CAC Camp Day 0
This night was spent on administrative matters. Of course, it was also the night when Euro 08 Final was broadcast to the world on Starhub Preview Channel. Being trapped in school, we proceeded down to FongSeng to buy our supplies for the game *a.k.a beer and food*, had our dinner at the chinese restaurant *bloody damned mala noodles had me going till day2*, and camped overnight at engin clubroom. Tony, KS, Kenneth, Wenhao and me set up the laptops with our giant speaker ready for the game to be streamed online, but the streaming was seriously choppy, and we promptly fell asleep with my beer 3/4 unfinished. Ohwell. Time for camp!

CAC Camp Day 1
I can still remember KinLoong telling me that he managed to get the 2 girls we ticked off from our Engin Camp Open House list. Yup, those 2 that me and Yiuyan talked to and promptly descended into low morale cause they said they weren't coming. Wahahaha...by a turn of fate and sweet talking by KL, they appeared first just when we were having breakfast at Arts Canteen! Hurrah! Peifen joined us as well, but left with KS, Tony and Sara to crash someone's lecture *not to forget to help him fulfil his mission of the day* I was left in the shoes of Samuel from previous year, playing the exact same games to break the ice. Thankfully, these freshies are bred n' trained to be playing in camps...I think I learnt more games from them than they from me!!
these girls just know where to pose for the camera!hydra guys - still playing og games when blindfolded!

We ended the night with Mysterious Journey, lobbing starch down at the freshies till they became paranoid of any councillor. Notably, Xuelin n' Yuanting went hysterical once the starch came pouring down their hands; they just called out "Jiaomao/Xiongmao!!" until they found each other, and started running in circles till they reached the edge of the field. Priceless! I'm pretty sure they have homing devices linked on them or something..and it was such a chore trying to get them join back the OG when they were running like headless chickens half a field away, that I had to shepherd them back by only revealing my presence in the opposite direction so as to scare them in the right way >__< Day 2 Today was Wargames, Cluedo, SP, and Movie Night! We woke up early to move down to SRC that day..conveniently skipping lunch to style our hair and started the day camwhoring even during our no-holds-barred wargames. Quite funny to see the entire OG freeze in its tracks just to pose for a picture when all hell breaks loose around them. Rather uneventful other than the fostering of camwhoreness in Hydra, I'll add. Cluedo was when the Hydra Councillors Team 2 took over, as KS, Wenhao, and a whole bunch of us concussed from the lack of sleep. We did attempt to watch Euro, remember? Most of us retired back to the men's bunk for a game of Bang!, with George being the top frag and Peifen being the most easily fragged *seriously....5 bangs in the first turn?* Poor girl can't even last 3 rounds in the game, opting to go suicide than anything else. Leo the Renegade turned Outlaw the last second as he shot the Sheriff till he was left with 1 health, earning the MCP Award. *Most Cock Player, if you're wondering* It was then when SP was about to proceed. The entire Team 1 was mobilized for the Movie Night Station, and Team 2 promptly took over. Peifen left for rag practice, but was happily conscripted into service with Khai when she returned. Leo and Greg and Yiwei continued taking unglam videos of our freshies as we decorated our station with various effects. Oooo. The night truly began. The first half had me walking up and down the tunnel to our station in Engineering, while engaging each pair of freshies in conversation, fake-complaining about all the logistics to be carried upstairs. Quite a few managed to see through the act, but the faces of those who really thought they were going to shift some boxes...memorable! *evil laughter* YUANTING! all thanks to that you've become my favourite lovable freshie le!!! Its really self-imploding when you're suppressing laughter while trying to sound evil and scary! I'm gonna miss ya when you move out to NTU! :'( *at time of writing, something interesting is going on with regard to person we're talkin about* Day 3 Okay, day3 was relax. We went down to Bukit Timah and after that, Cineleisure for our external hunt. Unfortunately, we kind of gave up halfway and proceeded with our own OG activities - playing pool, playing Team Fortress 2, and Nintendo Wii!!! It was quite enjoyable though antisocial, but heck, who cares :P on the way back we were telling cold jokes until the main group alighted at buona vista, while I returned home to get my camera. Relaxing night, I guess; the OG spent the night away teaching everyone their mass dance, so us councillors had little to do. The nasi lemak at fongseng rocked when topped off with Asahi beer!!

-----------------Was supposed to continue and end off the recount a few days after, but now its almost a week after CAC camp, and i'm bloody tired. let's just end this and move on :P

There's a Hole in my

Sidewalk
I
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in. Its a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault. I get out immediately.

IV
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V
I walk down another street.
