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!
