i just realised that lately my life is all about nus csc. csc is community service club in case you're wondering. okays time for a "short" update
Ethelonter V aka ethelonter 5 aka e5 aka e 5
it is a nus csc freshmen orient camp. i was glad i went! i think this camp is really worth joining and it's the most fun when you go there without knowing what to expect so if you are a freshie and you intend to join ethelonter 6 then please dont read on.
btw i referring to zhenxiu's blog while typing cos too lazy to reference. my group was group 4, acacia. it means spirit of the moon
day 1
met the group ppl with frog wei and pok at clementi mrt and took bus into nus. then played icebreakers. that was where a guy named john got his forever nickname, "juicy john"! cos we playing a game, you have to use your initial to make a food name. i was jellybean jocelyn (eeew) and fronia was fondue fronia and xinyi was xiamian (prawn noodle) xinyi. i am sorry but i forgot jiawei's food. then we went to our rooms to put our stuff. then it was
internal hunt! it was not the most exciting programme but we got to know out group members better from there. kai jit was very "hiong" at playing games. aiyo dun need so competitive one la, fun first competition second! oh yes i found a girl from computing also! she is Zhen Xiu and she is from poly. which means. i wont be seeing her around very much cos she is exempted from a lot of modules and MC's. oh wells. then it was dinner and i swear the float i saw there was the computing one. then it was
SP time. we were blindfolded and was made to sit opposite some guy that they paired us up with. mine was a good crapping partner. i crap, he craps back. not bad! can crap! fronia's one was a councillor who stood in for one night. so sad! ahaha! then came
mysterious journey! we were blindfolded and led around the school while playing games. and getting starched by the seniors. shan't elaborate on that but it was a memorable experience, that's all i can say. dave said he used a record high of 20 packs of starch oh my bloody hell. there was also where pillar got his nickname, btw. i think the slide was the most fun! although it was a short slide. fun fun fun! oh ya and at the pocky stick station where we are given one pocky stick covered in jam/peanut butter/kaya and supposed to find the other one which has the same flavour, i was telling pillar that its the same and he insists that it isnt the same and we even argued a little. here goes the convo:
me: hey its the same!
pi: no it isnt, what is yours?
me: uh strawberry?
pi: mine is blueberry!
me: huh but i'm sure its the same! you eat mine and tell me what's mine.
pi: urs is grape!
geri(station master):okay i tell you what. it's the same. its blackcurrant.
lame la! I TOLD YOU its the same! anw from here i got to know most ppl better cos with blindfolds can talk better. juicy john is super lame i tell you. after the whole thing we washed up and wrote SP postcards (everyone has to) and.....
day2dint get much sleep cos MJ ended like 1-2am then we went pok room to talk crap until 4 then had to wake up at 7. that day was
external hunt. went some of the nus csc rvp's including mindsville, chen su lan, and LB. at LB me and lejun and wei and frog went to this kiaw po po's house to do housework. kiaw po po kept praising lejun that she is a uni student and that graduate alr can earn a lot of money waaaaaa uni student can earn a lot of money. OI! we ALL are uni students leh! kiaw po po why you so biased! humph! and i was mopping the floor to 100% of my ability and she totally ignored meeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! (lejun was wiping door and wei and frog wipe windows) at the end kiaw po po also showed us her granddaughters' photos. walau damn chio! anw, during the external hunt we also had a photo hunt in which we had to take certain photos to complete the task, like e.g. take a photo with a schoolboy. which zhenxiu completed with a very cute p6 boy who dont look p6 at all (look like p3 can) who also called zhenxiu aunty and dave uncle and eugene 怪beibei. there were a few lame moments in and out. damn funny. frog and wei were stoning throughout the bus rides lor. stonefishes! lol. then it was
SP time again. we had to play some stupid games this time, blindfolded too. then i was sad to say i saw his slippers from under the blindfold and later on guessed who he is. no more suspense! anw jiawei also saw her SP's sandals. and guessed who he was also. fronia got her real SP, no not councillor anymore! haha! then it was
Cluedo Night! it was damn complicated can. but it was fun and the councillors have solid acting skills! so realistic! then its wash up and sp postcard time. everyone's guy SP wrote essay on their postcard except mine! boohoohoo.
day3
went to west coast park for
mass games. we were spilt up into different groups so that we interacted with people from different OGs. so qiao, xinyi got jiawei's SP, fronia got my SP, and the most funny is zhenxiu got her own SP for the paired up ice breaker game! walau, is this pre-planned or what? the mass games were fun la. esp the finale, we had a major water bomb-ing session! it was WARRRRRRRRR. rawr. after that we proceeded back to nus to have a shower and then some time for discussion of our talentime item. frog suay suay kana the pageant thing. i'm sorry but i really dont want to sub her. sorry frog! well its all over now anw! :) then it was
movie date. we were randomly paired up with another guy and had to learn this stupid SP dance with him. and guess what. i kana jiawei's SP!!!! i tell you, it's pre-planned! after that we had to have dinner with the movie date, then there was a break where acacia came together to plan more dance steps for our talentime, then we watched movie! the movie was one that i had been wanting to watch for a very long time already - MIDNIGHT SUN!!!!! YUI!!!!! OMG!!!!!! damn happy. her singing is one of the best out of jap singers lor. IMO lah. halfway through, the security guard came to disturb us. lame. then when the movie about to end, suddenly me and johnson (jiawei's SP) was disturbed by one of the councillors to leave the room for a survey thingy. we were with another pair and it was gh and this girl called carmen. then we two pairs were asked to walk down a road and read a story which was uber lame. then all of a sudden they asked us to get on a car and we were driven to a spooky house to have a "romantic dessert". from the moment me and carmen saw the house we knew something was wrong lor. in the end it turned out that the whole thing is a haunted house experience. there were three "haunted houses" that we had to visit and the councillors acted as ghosts. walau their acting is once again, superb. though i wasn't really scared cos i knew they were councillors. and the styrofoam hand really made me laugh. carmen practically screamed at everything! oh ya and i also made johnson go into the rooms first cos like that will be less scary heh heh. it was funnnnnnn. pok cried. haha. scaredy pok. after the whole thing we went finalising our dance steps for talentime. went to bed at 4-5am. wake up at 6 lor. kisiao.
day4had to pack up cos we are going to sentosa for
sentosa games! it was fun but seriously there was too much running in the finale and pre-finale. i gave up running cos if i cont to take part i think the team will lose until very jialat. then we went onto bus again cos we going the
chalet! there we had our
SP revelation, which is stupid cos both me and my SP alr knew who the other was so there was no fun at all. and we had to eat buffet dinner with candlelight. YUCKS! seriously i hate all this pairing up stuff to the core. if not for all this, i would've been really good friends with my SP! i mean, they've made things so awkward for the both of us! knsknskns. then we had to do that stupid SP dance. ycksytkahiw fa au shafkljhakufhak. then it was
talentime! we all think our dance was the worst but nevertheless we had a fun time! fronia was hua mulan and gh superman for the pageant btw. then we had a mad ethelonter mass karaoke! FUN! then it was back to the chalet. lejun treated us mac! thank you! and we played stock market like crazy! screaming and shouting and all. then the stupid security guard had to come disturb us and make his super long loso speech. so we went to find fronia and jiawei and then ended up strolling the area around the chalet. then i buay tahan i went to sleep in a nice cosy corner while some of them continue to lurk around awake. i slept at 5 i think?
day 5awwww it was the prizegiving session and also best sp postcard (which was awarded to jixin's pair) and best SP couple AND best group and best freshie. acacia's best freshie was ah pok (expected lor) and she gets to bring the beautiful group flag home! then we went with half the group to downtown east to eat at new york new york and we went to take mrt with baba who alighted at city hall. and then it was home sweet home!
the camp was really fun except all the pairing up stuff. but we can't blame them since SDU is one of the camp sponsors. darn.
then right. acacia had many many outings, like, really many! i only went to a few and i already feel like i'm seeing them at least once per week!
i shall talk about those that i went! hehheh.
firstly, i went to
MindCafe outing @ Bugis on 13th july which is ah pok birthday. before going there at 5pm me frog and wei met pok at west mall at 2pm (and i went even earlier to watch Hancock with my family) and treated her to subway and gave her our very budget present and card. well mindcafe was fun but really it was expensive. i don't know how many more outings i can keep up with before i go broke. (i'm not working, no income! depending on my peanut savings now) we played quite a few really fun games and pok kept going back to play Ugly Doll with baba they all. they were damn violent la! my table ended up playing Risk but really it was just a battle between Eugene and Dave and we were just their chess pieces but actually that was okay since it means less brain power needed from my side. oh ya we also celebrated the july babies' birthday, meaning xinyi, zhenxiu, pillar and the absent fronia. they gave her plush toys from IKEA la! i wonder if they would do the same when it was my turn? hmm most probably not. haha. pok got a sotong, zhenxiu got a turtle, pillar got a shark and fronia got a FROG! lols. then we rushed home while the others went to Timber.
the next outing i went was a
freshie outing cos i dunno why, no councillors came. we went to JEC to eat lunch and we ate at the jap budget restaurant. oh yah btw there was only 5 of us. anw. we almost ended up watching Hellboy!!! OH NOOOOOO. heng never go. instead, we went to play pool. btw it was my first time playing pool so i was blur most of the time. luckily nobody got frustrated with me! heh heh. and jixin was nice enough to buy us tea eggs to warm our hands since the pool place was next ti fuji ice palace it was super cold. and he was also nice enough to make the guys pay for our pool trip. lalala. well, i did try to pay them $3 but anw he refused.
lastly, the latest "outing" which really, i should't call it an outing, is
PROJECT C.A.N.! i went on saturday to the Collect event. it was really meaningful and fun (if only if, you know, **** **** ****'* ** *******, then it would've been even more fun!) well pok wei and frog would know what i talking lah. i managed to get a total of three packs of 5kg rice! i feel so 厉害! oh and a bottle of chicken essence, a can of abalone mushroom, four whole packs of instant noodles, a tin of biscuits, and many many many other cans of food! the others are not bad too and acacia ended up with around 4 big cardboard boxes of canned food and dry rations. and we ended early too! it was supposed to end at 6 but we ended at 2pm! choa chu kand residents, thanks for the donations! after that we went to town to have dinner since gerry wanted to watch the ndp fireworks. on the bus, we saw the THING. because i'm not sure if i should call "it" a man or a woman, so... okay i shouldn't be bad to talk about "it" on a blog, so let's skip that part! well juicy john might be interested in "it" anyway. okayyyy let's move on. so we went to suntec then changed directions to marina square, and settled down at Carl's Jr. jiawei joined us afterwards (hey she left early during CAN for jap class and in the end didn't go for the class lor, jiawei you PONNER) and then we left to watch the dark knight! it was so damn looooong, that movie! and it was very stressing for me because the climax is throughout the whole movie, so it's climax climax then climax, so, you get the idea? anw the i think the trip home pumped more adrenaline into my blood system than the movie because i went home quite late (BECAUSE THE MOVIE ENDED AT 10PMMMMMM) and was scared that my army officer dad will rip my head off. but anw when i reached home, he already slept, and in the morning he only casually "scolded" me a bit and said he won't let me go out anymore, but i dunno if he meant it or not.
so that's the story so far, and a really long one, too. okay i shall end here! oh yes, acacia likes mass chat a lot, huh. but anw i'm seldom part of the frequent mass chats. happy birthday pillar, and zhenxiu's birthday is coming soon, so is fronia's. HAHA you all are OLD people! heehee i am STILL 18!
