my life is back.

okay I suppose before I'm allowed to talk about any future plans I have to explain where exactly I've been the past two weeks. last week was our very successful Freshman Orientation Camp for the Yr 1s in my school- I realised exactly how right my brother was when he said I was always made for hard labour, since I'm much larger than my sister. I thought the camp went rather well, so let me try summing it up in a few words.

some things I will always remember:

1) Mr Foo, the best bus driver I've ever had: he and I have excellent chemistry, I even sound like him when we're on the phone, "Helo ah Mr Foo this is NTU. Yayayaya. Mr Foo ah remember hor later pick us up from the Esplanade there. You know where or not? Yayayaya."

2) Fright Night and the successful puppet that I was: needless to say I made some kids cry eventhough we were asked to tone down alot. what else was I suppose to do? I am rarely scary in real life (so I like to think) and the one time I get to terrify the shit out of anybody I am asked to act like Casper instead. this is absurd.

3) Delivery vans: let's just say I spent about 1/10 of my time at camp in a delivery van. you would think that the Logistics team is made up of big manly men with facial hair, but what you get is actually 5 lovely girls who struggle to carry 5 chairs on their own. needless to say we did well despite our shortcomings, so hooray! hidup logs.

4) That seaweed game: naturally in a school like SCI, if part of the school newspaper is written in Chinese and some of the cheers are in Chinese, the GAMES we play will probably be in Chinese too. I have no idea what I was muttering when I played the seaweed one, but shit I had fun. I especially love the way Johnson and the guys played.

5) Hall 9: hahahahahaha. with neighbours like Koon, Erwin, Kester and Faiz, how to fall asleep you tell me??? (actually most of the time we weren't in our rooms, and when we were someone is dozing off. usually it's me. okay this was a bad point. next.)

6) Starry Starry Night: was probably one of the more memorable nights I had. my favourite was RJ's performance. not that I'm biased or anything since I barely know him, but I've heard him sing before last year and been a fan eversince. do I sound creepy? haha. haha. anyway the OGLs little skit towards the end was fucking funny. Nad should seriously recruit all of them for Paparazzi.

now that camp's over, a whole lot of other things can begin. I've been mostly busy with the Chronicle's first issue for the new academic year, and my brother's wedding WHICH IS THIS SATURDAY. I think he's going to miss us because I caught him sighing and wandering in my room alot of times this afternoon, knocking his big elbow against my equally big head. will come up with a tribute to him sometime soon, but for now I need to get back to the school paper and do the one thing I like to do.
