After weeks of not blogging.. this is like super long...

2nd day of English Language Workshop (ELW) ! Oh boy.. Having lessons and all even before school officially starts. Rahhr. Writing intros and thesis statements almost the whole day. And msn-ing away at the same time, like everybody else. Haha. The joys of having laptops in class. Yay. Saw loads of nus people selling flags on the way home too. Didn't get to see my dear jo and aud though.. Rahhr.. jo was far far away in dover and the auddie is busy slacking at home!!!

Hmph.. Stupid GP. How in the world do you get a B3 and above for A levels?? Now so many people gotta attend the workshop.. But ok la I guess it's good to see how lessons are like and make new friends and all. Always have this bad habit of being late.. Was late again today. And if I don't make it there earlier than 9.15, I'll be marked absent!! Bleah.. But what to do when you really don't feel sleepy until like 2-3am..?? So hard to wake up.. No no. It's not good. I'll be early on thursday! Travelling all the way from woodlands this time, instead of nice, old novena. Have to wake up even earlier. O.ooo..

The last few weeks were damn fun. Camps camps camps like nobody's business. First, it was the sports camp. The people were kinda quiet initially. Hanging out with ryan most of the time and chatting about all the cj days. And torturing eugene with A LOT of black magic. Haha. Hm kinda stoned sometimes la.. but that's until we brought out poker cards. Really funny to play indian poker with FHM cards! Usually can tell from peoples' faces whether your card is big or small.. but this time, all you can tell is whether the girl on the card is hot or not so hot. Damn nonsense.

Also, how could the facils let us off without having a nice adventure right.. So off we were one day, running around trying to get lorries to give us lifts to everywhere (quite unsuccessful though), golfing, shooting arrows, rockclimbing, whisked up in that gigantic dhl balloon and dragon boating all in the name of our own smu amazing race. Then playing frisbee, floorball, touch-rugby, water polo and swimming all over the place the next day. Hurhur. Maybe I shall go and join frisbee already. *grin*

SMUX camp, the smu extreme camp, was also really cool!! The group was damn on about everything and we gelled so well together. That's why we've called ourselves.. *drumroll*.. GELLO!! Yay. And we (credit goes to rachel) came up with a group cheer too!! Goes something like that. Check it out.

(emphasize the 1st syllable of the last word when saying the cheer)

We are GELLO! (wobble like jello jelly)
We love teh-O!! (hand action of holding cup and drinking)
We look so seh-o!!! (look smugly and do an "everything's cool" hand action)
Come on, go GELLO!!!! (do the smu jump as you say gello)
*cheers madly*

So with such a great group and great cheer.. of course we won the "group that cheered the most" prize!! Wahaha!! Yay, free water bottles!!

Haha. It was a whole new experience altogether. Trekking along some ulu railway (which is actually still in use) somewhere in clementi. Horribly muddy by the way.. Bleah. Me and mud don't mix. But it was still interesting, especially taking picture on top of those metal bridges where you find railway tracks. Aiyo.. how to describe.. And then night cycling after that from there all the way to west coast park. Waah.. wanted to run to my dad's house to sleep already. Tried out blading and scuba diving and kayaking too!! And the whole thing ended with the best telematch ever. Spent lots of time playing double forfeit indian poker!! Very jialat man if you kenah the forfeits. Haha. And indulging on loads of RED TEA LONGAN DESSERT. Go to changi village and try if you haven't tried it yet. It is simply too good. =)

Last camp. BONDUE, the business camp. Not as much action as the other 2 camps. At least not as much running involved. But still very fun too. Because we were a great group. Haha. Played the business version of amazing race.. and there was this shi zi lu kou (food game) incorporated in it. We were like moving all over botanic gardens, holland v and marine parade looking for clues. Then the marine parade stop, someone had to cut a mohawk at the QBHouse. Haha and gerald actually volunteered on the spot!

Then our salesmanship was put to the test when we had to sell cards and other small things at prices like $10. Siao la. To think there were actually people generous enough to buy.. Then all the groups also had to put up dance performances cuz there was this section (about 4 groups per section) dance competition. Which was no problem cuz some people were already getting good practise from all the kaching and "pole"-dancing (more like pillar-dancing) forfeits. =p. Haha. But I think the best part was playing avalanche on the last night of the camp. So hilarious!! Practically everyone was quite concussed after the whole thing. And slept for a pathetic 1hr after that.

The camps rocked! Going off for orientation camp before school starts. And meeting up with loads of people before it's back to days of mugging and project work. Hmm.. but how un-happening can things get at smu anyway. =D

So.. Have a great national day! Be patriotic like me and wear red and white later!! Mwahaha.
