Its been a tiring week ... The NTU SCBE FOC Nueve 2006 has sapped away most of my energy with 3-4 hours nites and entire days packed to the brim ... Im tired ... im bushed .. im dead beat ... but .. it was worth the while ... GO ATHENA !!!
Mon 030706
Mon started out with an appt with the rest of the group at boon lay mrt 0730hrs ... Its practically on the other side of singapore for me !!! omg ... lucky my father gave my a ride ... or else gotta wake up super early .... thank god for hostels ... will die just travelling back n forth all the time ...
after some delays n such we finally set off to NTU hall 12/13 ... first stop ... lecture theatre 2 to listen to a word from our sponsers .. ZZZZzzzzZZZ .. almost fell asleep ...anyway xue yan n samuel became my roomies !
Then next up is station games ... we ran ard the sch playing mini-station games ... usual stuff ... but it really helps in getting to noe the places in sch better ... though getting there is another matter which will take a week or 2 to solve ...
next up was our initiation nite ... which was prob the least fun nite of all ... unless u count getting ketchup, vinegar, raw eggs, water n LOADS of flour thrown at you fun ... our first stop was jumping into the nanyang lake blindfolded ( of course we didnt .... but we were supposed to tink so .. ) .. then came the cubicle game where the whole group were squeezed into a cubicle n thrown all the stuff mentioned above ... blindfolded ... i was near the door so got lotsa water on my back which made me shiver for awhile ... n the flour on my head was actually the main ingredent for hair cement .. the rest of the ingredients made for aromatic perfume ... Aahhh ... the sweet smell of Macdonald garbage ... up next was the hamburger game where we simply piled on each other ... then, we went for a stroll in the sewers of NTU .. tink tt was the coolest part of the game ! the longkang water was nothing compared to the floor n all tt ... last stop was at Hall 12 where we were made to drink a deadly concoction of lemon, onion, garlic n who knows what ?! initally the guys thought shld be no prob ... but the posion was too lethal ... no mere mortal could drink any more than afew sips ! unless he's lost his sense of taste ... most of the drink went down the drain ... BLEAH !
LIGHTS OUT !

After breakfast the next day things started to pick up ... the camp became ALOT more fun from this point on ...
POOL GAMES !!! wahaha ... by some uncanny concidence only half of my OG swam for the games ... but nonetheless, the games were fun fun fun !!! wahhaa .. started wif the mahjong game where we were supposed to find the correct tiles underwater to win ... cant rem all the games though ... there's underwater charades, captain ball and the buaya fight ! got abit of sunburn after the games cos never put sunblock ... ouch ...
station games was next ... this was rather standard stuff as well ... but i guess no camp would be without these ... played wif water bombs, the twister, household hockey etc etc ... somehow the games were more fun then the day b4 ... prob cos our grp knew each other better le .. n we started acting more like a team than juz a bunch of individual freshies who don noe nuts ( we still are ... but juz not as freshie ) ...
Fright night was on tues ... a night of terror n suspense .. of fear n death ... n of painted actors ... must admit ... im a person who's rather jumppity ... maybe a reflex action formed by sparring wif frens ... when the actors come out from their hiding places i practically jumped jumped ! n jumped ! n jumped !!! bascially i was like a rabbit tt nite ... ok ... maybe not tt serious ... but u get the idea ... even when not scary n someone pops up behind me on normal days i jump too ... ZZZzzzZZZ ... actually only found the first 2 stations scary ... the rest ok only lah .. maybe cos the effect wore off ... or i was really too sleepy ... must say the actors all acted quite well though ! its takes ALOT of effort screaming your head off at every grp that comes your way ... 3 cheers for the actors !
LIGHTS OUT !

SENTOSA !!!! WAhahhaha !!! the sun, the sands, the seas and the winds were beckoning to us !!! easily the best event of the camp ! basically we went ard playing station games as well but somehow playing them on sentosa made a vast diff compared to playing in school ... also the games were really more fun !!! n also gotta do lots of stupid stuff like making muah chee, tau pok n exchanging our shorts under water ... somehow doing stupid stuff has always been my main entertainment in my life ... so yeah .. SENTOSA WAS GREAT !!!
after tt we went back to hall n prepared for our campfire cum dinner ... bascially its a BBQ plus some cooked food buffet style ... got otah, sweet potato, hot dog, bee hoon, marshmallow n black crusted carbon coated chicken ... yum ... the campfire was rather fun ! but the campfire itself was a failure ... went out too fast compared to the scouts ones i'ev been to .. but since the focus was on the activities, its posed no prob ! first up was skit playing ... our grp acted out a spoof of the VISA card richard gere comercial ... actually we did a spoof of a spoof since we copied the Mr Brown edition ... n I was richard gere !!! wahha ... didnt do much since my role didnt have much speech ... credit shld go more to the chatty ones in the grp .. anyway our skit was a SUCESS!!! Great job guys ! next up was the Ms Nueve comp... Dixon was given the dubious role of representing Athena ! You the man Dixon ! ahaha ... FYI Athena got the BEST OG AWARD for campfire tt nite ... Athena Athena pa buay tho !!!
LIGHTS OUT !
Thurs 060706
The last full day of camp came so fast ! dunno why but it juz felt this way on thurs ... the main event of the day was THE AMAZING RACE !!! we went about singapore searching for clues to get to the next place ... cant rem all the stops but the more memorable ones were Maxwell food court where we stopped to buy sooooo much food as part of the games n had to finish all b4 we moved on ... chicken rice , fish porridge, century egg porridge, chee kueh, hokkien mee, etc etc .. sooo much ... we ate till we were bloated ... another was at little india where we drew henna on each other ... First time i drew henna or got drwan on ... after the race, the words "Nueve" and "Athena" became our battle scars ... well ... we finished our race way after the limit ... but who cares?! we had fun didnt we ? n tts wats matters ...
tonight was the night we were supposed to meet our SP .. mine was a year 2 from the ExCo ( what to do ?! so few gals .. sigh ...) ... n if my advise is of any use , dont ever go for blind dates !!!! unless u really click well or are super talkative there will come a point when your tongue gets tied up with a dead knot ... thankfully the beauty peagent made up for it ... Dixon ( M1 suai ge) and Eunice ( F6 mei nu ) represented Athena... and when the contestants strutted their stuff n played their games, the grps got together for cheer to cheer them on .. everyone greatfully left their table to join their respective grps .. phew ... oh ya .. the very first n (currently the only ) SCBE king Dixon is up for grabs !!! hurry up gals !!!
THE LAST NIGHT !!! the grp went for supper that nite at a prata store near NUS ... thankfully our GLs managed to trick their frens into driving the whole grp there in four seperate cars ! cool man ... our GLs rawk !!! then at the prata shop found out that it was shuyin bday the day b4 ... she was supposed to drink up a nasty potion of curry, milo , kopi, teh , kambing soup and wat not .. but one of the 'drivers' was made to drink half of it instead ... ( there's a catch to this .. )
went back to hostel then play abit of indian poker plus drinks then its off to lala land at 5 am .. need to sleep alrdy ... some others played till 6 plus ..
LIGHTS OUT !

THE FINAL DAY !!! couldnt wait to go home this time !! wahaha .. we spent the morning playing takeshi's castle ... where half the whole camp Vs the other in an all out bombardment match !!!! whahaha ... a rather cool game ! our side won ! heh ..
Today we also found out tt there were black sheep within our midst .. peiying n shuying ! who are both actually our seniors pretending to be freshies ... haha ... anyway with them ard the ratio of guys to gals in our grp is 16:5 ... w/o them it'll be worse so im rather thankful they came along ... u gals are great ! must really had been tough keeping a secret like this .. especially when u cant talk to ur GL frens ... initally the guys thot i was one of the seniors somemore ... haiz ... decided to play along after some pt cos got too tired of denying ... besides, it'll be fun to see the things turn out ... Eugene from another OG who was in my JC class b4 even pretended to be my junior ... haha ...
