对你爱爱爱不完 !

engincamp09 was actually fun! or maybe it was just because i went in with meagre expectations. i'll admit it wasnt as good as the hall camps, but it definitely rocked! and it was memorable enough to not have to rely on photos to remember the moments.

i wonder if camps are actually obligated to align themselves to their theme. like almost all the activities in engincamp were subscribed to the notion of analysing and innovating, and deciphering. even the sheares exposure camp (superbly christened Sheareslock Home) didnt have that much brainwork involved. if that were the case then i wonder again what artscamp would be like. but well, still good, so no complaints.

that aside i have a bone to pick with. it actually somewhat brought down my impression of the camp as a whole. it's this anomalously overrated idiosyncrasy that almost every camp has, called Pageant. or maybe it was just engincamp's pageant. i had both the honour and the misfortune of joining both Sheareslock Home's and Engincamp's pageant events, so i shall compare. whoever u may be, please note that this is only my opinion. there may be others out there who truly advocate glamour and limelight, but i'm just not one of them.

first things first - i definitely enjoyed SECC's pageant more. we wore casuals, our rehearsal took just about half an hour, and our only instructions were where to walk, and the flow of events. everything else was relaxingly up to us.

something which engincamp clearly didn't see value nor virtue in.

we had to be in semiformal (dont really have a bone to pick with this, but it's still a point of comparison), we were taught elaborately how to walk, pose, look, count. and every spare minute was spent having our act scrutinized and corrected. and the rehearsal took close to 2-3 hours. we couldnt even join our OG for dinner, but instead sat in a lonely pathetic corner for dinner. like whoa, are there gonna be modelling scouts there, or was this New Paper Face of the Year or what. it's just a camp, it wasnt even the engin Bash thingy.

i dunno. dont mistake me. i just think a fac camp pageant isnt that big, nor should it require that much seriousness. if u ask me, i'd say i'd rather be together with my OG down there.

BUMBLE GEES!!! FOUR!

FUN, FUN and MORE FUN!

SHEARESLOCK HOME just ended, and again the emotion sets in. the people i met, the games we played, the sand on our faces and the dirty clothes.

scooby doo,

the games in a circle,

the meals (FTW!!),

the CHEERS (FTW!!),

very grateful for this opportunity to yet again create beautiful memories that i'll never forget in a lifetime.

SCOOOOOBY will......

Slap you O0OOH! Slap you AHH! Slap you slap you O0o La Laaaaa

now BLUEBLOODed.

just broke camp off CAMP BLUEBLOOD 09 today. which I really have to say ROCKED LIKE CRAZY.

when you go through a 3-day smorgasbord of fun-packed, ABSOLUTELY SPIRITED events and activities, you'd hate to see it end so suddenly without you getting any dreary first. you'd hate to know the camp lasted only 3 days, and you'd hate to know you won't be seeing your mates again in at least a few days. and, you'd also really hate to know the next time you see them again might be the last.

because people hardly spend only 3 days having this gargantuan amount of fun and getting so close to people you never did in 3 days, it seems like a dream of which you'd doubt truth, and yet you know full well it happened, so it becomes a tad magical. really.

SWIFTY!

Sights and Sounds of a Beautiful Tuesday Morning.

I awoke to the percussive rhythms of hammers and pilings, which were so pleasant to the ears, I absolutely had to abandon my dream for them. The thuds and knocks reverberated and repercussed, with the occasional crash that so beautifully punctuated the beat, sending a jilt to the pulses and innervating the start of my day. Opening the door I stepped into a heavenly mist, taking in the aromatic scent of the immediate cloud, freshly and artfully hacked off the floors, and welcoming the fuzzy sunlight that greeted me through the dust. Shouts and yells from the outside cupped my morning in excitement. I was all ready to start my Tuesday.

*

Blueblood is in a couple days, Sheareslockhome is in a week, and Sportscamp is in a month. really looking forward to all of them... gonna be fun as hell! gonna be shagged like shaggy but fun like horfun. at last it's time to work hard and play hard again. i've been a slob for 2 years already. kinda like a homecoming, a return to academics and institution, to stu-dentity. and also to (only in singapore) competition - in any aspect.

don't know about the people, im sure they'll all be interesting, but in any case i think i really like my course. really looking forward to reading it too... as of now, that is. haha.
