back from part2 of camp on friday. lunched at vivocity kimgary with seniors daphne, diya, valencia, houying and ogmates grace and weitong. headed straight home after that. tired la. haha.
monday was freshman inauguration ceremony. it was a waste of time to go actually =x haha. nothing much at the ceremony. only that the 'big heads' were introduced on stage and speeches were given by the dean of nus and president of nussu. and there was a few performances by a few arts performing groups.
tuesday was nus flag day. reached yishun at about 6.30am to start flagging at 7am. iris and i were sent to sembawang for flagging together with kuanchieh and andrew. sembawang is really a so-not-suitable place for flagging. it was still ok in the morning as the working class will be streaming to the mrt station. by the time it was afternoon there are hardly any crowds as sembawang is mainly a neighbourhood area. lunched at a food court with shunyi and zhisheng. wanted to sneak off after lunch to watch money no enough actually. haha. even called my sp to join us. lol. but in the end our conscience got over us and we decided to flag instead. so sorrie sp =x haha. decided to go admiralty to see if it will be better over there. not any better actually lol. or should i say i am a lousy flagger =x really dun feel good at asking ppl for donations. flagging ended at 4pm. home sweet home after that for dinner.
had og outing on wednesday afternoon at the settler's cafe@holland village with og conan. the outing was quite ok. played cherades most of the time there. haha. went back to nus after that to help the rag com out. did some cutting and sticking and watched their full-dressed rehearsal. bla bla bla... slept at about 5.30am. haha. had macs for supper before that and played abit of mahjong and dai dee with the seniors. got to know a senior called weekiat who was from tk and mj! haha. singapore is too small.
thursday was amazing race outside school called 'crack ur heads till the cows come home'. each og was given clues to different places to complete tasks. something similar to MMM in mj orientation just that we were allowed to take public transport as many times as we want this time. the neutral party that was allocated to my og was a senior call benjy. and guess what? he was from tk and mj too! hahaha. so that makes 2 senior-seniors already. lol. went around singapore east-westerly. amount spent on public transport that day was enough to burn a hole in my pocket T.T lol. returned to nus at about 6plus for bbq and grand finale of SOW camp.
friday was nus rag day which is a sister event of flag day. each faculty and hall will spend about 3 months before this event to design and build floats and come up with a story with songs and dance for performance on rag day itself. the public will be allowed to join us on rag day too. kind of a thanksgiving event for the public on their contributions to flag day. it is also a competition among faculties and halls on their floats and performance. business faculty won the overall champion again this year. and fos won the best float design award. (:
so that was about it for part2 of camp. tiring but fun. made alot of new friends and seniors during this camp and i think that's what makes it most worthwhile for me. (: i believe shuting, iris and kailing have the same sentiments as me. lucky we still managed to get into the camp despite of our late registration and balloting. lol.
so it was national day yesterday. met up with zhu en, shu kit, boonwei, allie, jingyuan and dear at the settlers' cafe@clarke quay. it was sort of a farewell gathering for shu kit as he will be leaving for hongkong to study in mid-august. went to marina square after that with only dear, jingyuan and zhu en to watch ndp airshow and fireworks. haha. airshow this year is nicer than the past! (: fireworks was ok. not much difference as past years. the crowd around city hall and raffles place is crazy. haha. left immediately after the fireworks ended, just in time before the ndp crowd oozed out. hahaha.
school is starting tmr ): although 1st week has only lectures but it's already hectic enough. imagine 2nd week onwards with practical and tutorials. O.O my thursdays are the most disgusting days. lessons start from 10am all the way to 5pm. i can just crawl home after that. oh well. shouldnt think about it too much yet. will jus have to take what it comes ba. haha. just reminded of what sengtuck told me yesterday: welcome to NUS. -.-
