Juz came back from Engin O Week'05 yesterday, sick and burnt. It was fun, but I didn't really enjoy it as much as I did last year. MayB I'm getting old, or mayB I don't have my close frenz with me this time round, or mayB the feeling is juz not there. Anyway here's the summary! Attached pix since pictures speaks a 1000 words, =P.
Fri 29th JulHad pre-o wk. Played ice breaking games. Joanna ganna forfeit and was asked to carry Weixian... but she played cheat cos 1 of Weixian's foot was on the floor. Haha.
Went to see doc @ YIH aft that cos I was having sore throat. Viral infection. The doc only gave me lozenges that cost me $8.50...
Sat 30th JulNo o wk activities, but went PS with Aimei, Lisheng & Zhao Yong. Bought my Nike cap @ $18 aft 15% discount @ World of Sports. Bought my lanyard also. Had dinner @ PastaMania. I can finally eat the ocean baked pasta. Yum yum! Bought the ingredients for my cheesecake making for tmr (Sunday). Treat the 3 of em to Gelato for helping out during my bday party. Aimei read watermelon as watermolen. Haha. And Joo, the Gelato @ PS sells watermelon flavour!! =D
Mon 1st AugOnly need to reach @ 9.30 cos only 1 GC need to reach early to fetch the freshies to the inauguration ceremony. Try to help make the identities but it was a failure... David was much better @ it than me & Jian Qiang. Haha. So me & JQ stayed to give David moral support!! =P
I went out of the tutorial room to buy a drink and I saw this on the vending machine:
I can't believe I only realise this aft 2 years in Engin...
I digressed from o wk, haha. Aft the inauguration ceremony was faculty walk. The freshies had a great time shampooing hair & shaving balloons and also jumping hopscotch...
Next was night blindness, where WE counsellors have fun like getting em dirty...
Or making em share small slices of fruits while we take scandalous photos...
Night blindness ended @ 11+... aft we found a place to sleep @ Computer Centre 2nd floor, we went SRC to bathe. By the time we sleep, it's already 1+am... Counsellors had to wake up @ 4.30am. I thought 2+hrs of sleep was enuff. But apparently I din get to sleep for 2+hrs cos there was this stupid guy who snored damn loudly. My freshie called Jacelyn who slept beside me, couldn't sleep also... In the end I managed to catch 1+hrs of sleep only... -_-zZ
Tues 2nd AugFlag day... Reached city hall b4 the sun comes out... Me, JQ & David waited @ the control station for other freshies to reach while the other freshies started flagging. We saw a queue that is waitin for Today newspapers to be distributed...
JQ decided to join in the queue when it started moving...
By around 8.30am, aft all the freshies reached, we decided to go BK for breakfast. We saw that BK's gates were closed & their signboard's lights off. So David suggested that we eat Subway's breakfast. But when we juz finished purchasing Subway breakfast, BK was opened... -_- We decided that it's fate & started eating our breakfast. WAHLAO! It sux!! X_X I wanted to buy cappucino from BK since it's not bad. But it tastes weird aft I drank it... JQ went, "Isit a good weird or bad weird?" It's a weird weird lar... where got good weird or bad weird one... =/ Had a weird stomach aft that -_-
Anyway, at ard 9+am, we gathered back all the freshies & went on to Orchard. There's more ppl @ Orchard. The 3 of us walked all the way to ard Forum & finally we start our work. But within 1/2 hour, it started to rain... So we met back at Mos Burger @ Shaw Tower. U can see how sian we are...
The flag day can...
Our identity...
3 of us shared a big packet of fries & that was our lunch. So poor things rite? *sob sob* Haha.
We went on to do flag day until ard 3+ & started to gather the freshies again. We managed to roughly do 8 cans & called for the van. We ate dinner @ 5+ @ NYDC with Anthony, Jiasheng & Yiping cos JQ has 1-for-1 set lunch NYDC coupons. Ant & JS ordered "Happy As A Clam", while me JQ David ordered "Roasted Chicken" & YP ordered some mushroom pasta. All the pasta came with only clams, slices of chicken & mushroom respectively... Ant & JS then commented that they're unhappy. Haha.
Aft that went home, shower, slept @ 9pm liao. Super tired...
Wed 3rd AugCORS & sponsorship talk in the morn. Aft that we brought the freshies to the comp cluster to bid for their modules. David's laptop got stolen in the LT slightly b4 the talks ended. Poor thing. I hope the laptop drops & smashes the thief's foot. *&^%$#@!
Amazing race aft lunch. Quite relak today cos no need for cheer nor run about. Started out with the freshies piecing a jigsaw of NUS map together in exchange for a NUS map...
Guess whose butt is this?! Haha. (Ans: Deren's)
There was this part they had to do sth like Wheel of Fortune, but more of like fill in the blanks... And every 2 mins in which they can't guess the word, they'll get doodled on by the station master. This freshie of mine (named Jit Chin) volunteered to be the 1st 1 & I took this v cute pic! Haha.
He got the wu nai face & it looks v cute, in a funny way. And I accidentally "cut off" the heads of 2 freshies whose fingers were shown in the pic.
Aft that we saw a cool Volkswagen @ the car park @ Biz Ad!!
David was coincidently wearing a Red Bull tee... haha. I think the car belongs to the Red Bull company cos the Red Bull gers always drive em around.
Other games for Amazing Race were...
Entagling & detangling emselves...
And making the ball go on the right course...
Oh! And I've 2 freshies (Huiping & Jacelyn) who likes to perform stunts, haha. But the photo was taken w/o em knowing.
Ended the day @ 6+. Went dinner @ Clementi with the Ant, David, Joanna, JQ, Steph, Wenhao & the freshies: Deren, Kim Hai, Junhao. Went home, bathe & concuss again...
Thurs 4th AugSentosa Day!! But it was raining the whole day... -_- When every1 arrived, we went into the carpark to play ice breaker games. Suddenly one of the pipe in the carpark burst. Ant suggested that if we've forfeit we shld get some1 to go stand under the brownish-water gushing out from the pipe for 3 sec. Haha. Then we saw some1 ganna forfiet... Poor thing. Haha.
I was station master so I can't join my OG!!!! *&^%$#@! Angry lar. And the 1st game only I got dunked into the sea. 2nd game I got pushed into the sea. 3rd game I got dunked & ganna poured sand... Aft that got itchy skin. So I decided to go toilet & get off all the sand off me...
We went to shower aft all the beach games ended. Aft showering, we walked back from Siloso Beach to Palawan Beach...
Nice sunset!
Couples taking wedding photos...
Then we had dinner & for our OG we all sat on this pavement by the roadside opp the multi-storey carpark. What a scene! But I only took a video of it. Haha.
Then aft that was initiation... The comm members did a candlelight thingy...
And here's our grp photo!!
Finally a grp photo, on day 4, haha.
Fri 5th AugStarted off with ice-breaker games. I was late by 1/2 hour n nearly ganna forfeit by the ppl... Aft that played land games lor. The 1st game was passing the chair game. We were lack of 1 person & I was saboed to play it... =/ So no photos.
2nd game was that they r supposed to get onto the top of the slope while the station master poured soap water onto the canvas...
Then we had a diff kinda Scissors paper stone....
And we "entertained" the station master (Ziyang) by carrying him & nearly ram him onto the basketball goal post. Haha
Jiali came & visit us! Took a photo with her & Joo.
Another grp photo, but this time w/o me...
Then we had 3-legged soccer....
End of land games. And we had lunch @ YIH.
Aft that the freshies had speed dating outside the clubroom while some Ah Peks eat their peanuts...
@ 4.30pm, we had to gather @ LT7 for some NUS Heritage Run tok... Aft that we had the handshake ceremony...
Wah, my hands felt so numb. Haha.
Aft dinner we had rag preview cum cheer practice, then aft that was fright nite. We went for 2 stations & 1 of em was quite scary. I went in with 2 male freshies (Weiming & Junhao) & 1 of em (I shan't name him in case he got laughed @ by ppl, haha) super funny lor. We were asked to find the doll by the station master. When we found the doll, I told my freshie to take it cos he was nearer to it. He went,"But he only say find the doll mah, nv say take the doll..." AIYOH. Lisheng called me & we bitched for ard 40min. Thanx pal! Haha.
Aft that Jimmy & Joo joined us & we decided to go to the Kent Ridge old houses. But it wasn't fun anymore cos the Arts ppl were building their floats there....
Anyway the waitin part for fright nite was super sian, cos we had to wait for 2 hrs for each station... there was only 4 stations... So in the end we had to play ice-breaker games again...
Luckily Jimmy & Joo were here to help my entertain my freshies. I was too tired to think already. Thanx to u 1 & 1/2 gers! Haha.
We "cut" the stations @ 2.30 & by the time we really settle down it's already 3+. Jo, Junhao, Weiming wanted to juz stay @ SRC. So only me, Jacelyn, Law & Zhengrong walked to Fong Seng to makan. Met David & his ghost station ppl there (I 4got to mention that David was a "ghost" for fright nite, but we didn't go his station). We went to Computer Centre to sleep again. But this time there wasn't any loud snorer. Hehe. Slept @ 6am & woke up @ 7.15am... *yawn*
Sat 6th AugBought tea from Dilys. I missed auntie's coffee & tea. =D After that went Mac with Junhao to buy MacMuffin & when I came back, my tea was finished by Kim Hai... Jacelyn told him that the cup of tea belongs to me & he still say nvm. *&^%$#@! WTH!! So rude...
Anyway aft that we were preparing to cheer for Engin since we're the 1st up for rag float... Took a photo with Steph in the crowd...
Cheered damn loudly cos I know I won't be doing it again next year... Here's our dance...
Aft that the freshies were allowed to go home. Some counsellors left also. I went ard lookin for BJ cos I noe he'll be in make up. Finally found him when it was nearly his hall's turn.
The makeup's so ugly! =X
Yah anyway as usual Engin didn't win anythin for the float. But I muz say this year's float is quite impressive. When they were announcing the results, the few of us left were dancing. It's like go chionging, but under the scorching sun. Haha.
Aft that had late lunch with Joo & David @ KFC @ Clementi. Slept all the way on the bus. Nearly missed the stop. Haha. Came home, slept @ 5pm on Sat, woke up @ 8am today. Another 15 hours! Woohoo!!
Think that's all. Sleep liao lar, tmr sch starts... Dunno y but I'm quite excited over it =D
