tis is my OG Barbossa at Sentosa on Day 3 of Engin Camp, the afternn part. My favourite photo from the camp! okay, mayb i shld start from the beginning of day 1? haha
actuali, we started off going back to sch on sunday night, writing the names on the armbands for our OGs, and preparing the mascot. For the other houses, they did a super elaborate mascot, but us Pyrates? it was jus a flag.. heh. simple and sweet! =) nothing big nor incredible. Halfway thru that, we had to drive out to try to search for paint, in vain of course. it was already 9+ 10pm. everyone was closed. Shops that is.. at BeautyWorld. what came after was the briefing for councillors, and then sleeping time. Lucky enough to have Clara around, cos then we cld sleep in the rock gym! matresses were like waterbeds.. heh.
Monday, Day 1. Registration, ice breakers, the usual.. as craig says, the games are all senseless, but then again, its an orientation camp! how sensible can it be? the games that is.. haha. 5 guys 3 girls freshies, with 4guys and 3gal councillors. quite a small group? i guess we started off on a good note, everyone talking, not too quiet, though not exactly very noisy? haha. needed abit more 'poking' from us councillors. Afternoon spent at SRC courts for telematches. All the sabo-ing etc etc. Even me the camera man also went in together to be sabo-ed together with the OG, getting paint, flour, camo cream etc.. haha. All for the fun together! the demoralizer came when issac's nose was banged n fractured (we found out later) by another house ic (shall not name who, later he paiseh =P ) Brendan spent the afternoon from abt 4+ 5pm with issac at NUH, while i choked down my dinner and went down to NUH to wait with him and pick him up from abt 8pm to almost 10pm getting back to eusoff hall. All in all, that poor boy waited for close to 5hrs just to take an x-ray and listen to the doc talk for less than 5min. Glad he didnt miss SP night though (for the 1st night that is.) . It feels good to be on the 'other side' of the SP thingy. Being the one disturbing, not the 'disturbed'! hehe any freshies, if u read tis, pls dun kill me. i was disturbing our og gals n 3 guys most of the time.. but day one was mild, jus simple talking, laughing. It also proved to be a chance for me to interact with some fellow councillors whom we jus see around but never talk. Well, the start of 'hell week' for my skin. Im RED already. Went for supper at West Coast mac. Sherning's car squeezed dunno how many ppl, while i had 4 guys behind & another beside me.
Tues, pools games. Another funnyy day, all sorts of funny things in the pool. The usual pool games? n super hilarious, esp when the 'Ha Ha cards' came into the picture, then weird things started to appear. Lixiang's og doing the tokyo drift song for cheer, in the water! us tau-pok-ing Armeet, and our house playing around cos we found our own house ogs competing against each other time and again! Well, we din win much again today, but what the heck. Objective is for the freshies to have fun and bond! =) morning ended with drag queen. Tis yr quite mild.. last yr was more .. ... creative n open. hahaha. shall not comment more. Nonetheless, another great (but burnt) morning! our og guys r very lucky, they got a car to put their things in so tat they dun have to lug it around for fac walk. And dear Jamen broke my car record when he asked me to help him send the speaker n stuff over to LT6. I had to up my back seats so that my car became a two seater! Faculty walk, well, the lame games, all in the name of fun! making noise in Engineering blocks, running all over the place. Yan Ling! u're good at listening to instructions! though i sabo-ed her for a moment and made her get water-shot at. hehe.
MYstery night, its a scaled down version of fright night. It started at 8pm++. Going to different stations to gather 'clues' and try to 'solve' the mystery. Guys and gals paired up to walk in in twos to see n search for clues (while getting frightened of course =P ) From central lib rooftop to the tunnel, and in E3 blk. That was Sara's station, the sch-girl. It was supposed to be the scariest station, but i din go up to take a look. We spent like almost 2hrs waiting to go up. When the freshies were done, it just started to rain. Well, tis started a damp night, and it was already pretty late, and i was half dead already, though the og was generally still full of energy! they even wanted to play catching around LT7A! They ended up with the old old oolllddd game pepsi cola, jus when jamen called for Roy, Sherning and me to assist in the ferrying of the whole camp back to Eusoff Hall. Before that though, pizza was ordered, apparently on either the camp or comm (dunno who. But thanks!) 3am++, ferrying started. with 4 cars and 1 van going to and fro. My 2nd record for the car broken. At one point of time, i had 5 girls behind and 2 in the front seat! guys record is 4 or 5 at the back and 1 in front. my goodness.. heartpain for my suspension. Could feel the hard bang of it when i cleared the humps, but oh well.. objective was to get everyone back asap, to rest. Cos Sentosa's on the next day. goodness.. cant imagine i was still driving at 4am+! slept at abt 0430 that day.
Day 3. Sentosa day! woke up totally shaggged out. had to drag myself to wake up. At least i was on the matress tonight, not the hard bedframe, so it was a wee bit more comfortable. Though it was a squeeze with sherning and craig on the 2 joined-together matress on the floor. hehe. Sentosa games, dunno why, tis og seems to be able to play better and more active when they are more tired! we won more games today definitely. hahaha! and i tot i cld stay dry til at least the 4th or 5th game, but no. was sabo-ed by someone (gal in orange, i still rmb..one of the game masters or comm, something like that) to be dunked and mua-chee-ed by Ethan & Tsinli's group! my goodness.. cant even escape, they jus sneaked up behind me at only the 2nd station. grrrr. after that dun care liao, jus went to get wet and wet and ... even wetter. It was a great morning, we had the modified Frisbee game, those blind-folded water bomb games, some modified version of sissors-paper-stones game in the water, dunking of course, and another couple of games i cant remember. and tis ended with the house-level water-bomb war. this started off as pure fun at first, which then somehow became a wee bit nasty at first, but ended with truce, and whacking the comm members.. heh.
AFter lunch, round the island games. We all started to feel the tiredness starting to kick in. While some other groups were running for checkpoints, we jus relaxed and slowly walked from point to point..relaxing! jus have fun lor. 8stations, to collect 8 medallions as the 'points'.went to diffe places doing different things at each place, from the merlion fountation, to the dragon's trail walk, to the underwater world entrance. We completed abt 6 stations until time to exercise cut.
tis photo is an act cool one. pls dun kill me. haha.. im all Red already, and wearing last yr's o-week orange singlet doesnt help at all. haha. Those sunglasses? Brendan's Oakleys. arghhh.. temptation!!!
