Oh FU*K.. I lost my handphone which i just bought 10 days ago....

And how i lost it? There are only 2 possiblities.. One, i put my handphone in one compartment of my bag. I recalled when i was going to alight, i could be holding my bag in a position that my handphone had slipped out... I had reached NUS that time, i recalled that i checked before leaving the seat and din see my handphone...

Two, then i put my bag on a bench outside the CAC room. So I went toilet which is just in front of the bench, and later, i couldnt find my handphone. It could be stolen while i was in the toilet. But there were two people at that time. One guy was sitting facing the toilet and so his back facing my bag. The other girl was sitting at the other side. If someone took it, they would have seen it. And i only went to the toilet for less than 1 minute...

So now, im not sure if i had dropped it or someone or that guy sitting at the bench had stolen it. Damn.

Later, I asked the guy if he had seen anyone taking anything from my bag just now but he said no. I used JH's phone to call my phone and standing near that guy, hoping to hear the ringing. But, I realised i had put my phone in silent mode. Damn. And no one picked up. 15 minutes later, my phone was off! Damn. This means someone took it. I lost hope already. Then i called singtel to suspend my line.....

Oh well.... im so sad. I bought that handphone for $398 and using my own, hard-earned money... Gone just like that. So now, will either get a 2nd hand phone or repair my old sony ericsson. Sighz... should have done that when that sony ericsson handphone was spoilt....


Anyway, been going NUS for the past 5 days.. Yes, so tiring to travel to and fro. It was matriculation day on thursday. Finally got my matriculation card and officially a student. Also got a lot flyers from various clubs but i only signed up bowling and a club i forgot what it is about..

Went for the Maths revision lecture on wednesday, only to be shooed off by the lecturer because the response was overwhelming. The LT was not big enough to accommodate everyone. They din expect so many people to turn up. And i think there were more people standing outside the LT than sitting inside the LT. So in the end, non-polytechnic students have to leave. But, we went for the afternoon lecture though, occupying the seats right after the first lecture ended. Haha..

Then i saw Guowei. So after the lecture, went up to him and said 'hi'. He was stunned. So i asked my favourite question again, "Do you know who i am?". Apparently, he said i looked familiar but couldnt remember who am i. Haha.. And yes, he was surprised to find out im his primary school classmate. He should be the 8th one of those primary school classmates i've met so far to say i've changed a lot or worse, couldnt recognise me like Shaoqiang... Oddly, i dunno how much i've change since 1996 but of cuz, they also din see me for like 8 years also. So, sure will find that i've changed a lot...

School is starting soon. Next week is a busy week. I have chalet as well as orientation. And yes, im a committee member under publicty for the event, Funkamania XII. And my team of 4 guys have 2 weeks to rush out designs for flyers, postcards, posters, namecards and later, t-shirts and banners.

So stressed even before school starts.

Publicity is bad.

Oh my... even after attending the Engineering Tea Session today at NUS, im still quite unclear about the modules, tutorials, GEM/SS/Breadth and especially the CORS.

It is bad to be a Common Engineering student as we are like wandering ghost; we have no place where we belonged.....

Anyway, met a few familiar faces at NUS today. I saw Shaoqiang, my primary school friend. So i went up to him and say 'Hi!'. I asked him if he know who i am or not and he said 'No' while smiling confusedly. I asked him if he saw Qiuling also who was at the booth and he said 'No'. OMG.. and then he said something stunningly, "I forgot all my primary school friends already."

Three lines were seen on my forehead.....

Well, the lift came so i left with the rest, din bother to say bye to him or anything.. Haha.

Also met Weibing, Zhipeng and Shanwei. Talked with them a bit and sadly, they were not in the same engineering as me. Ahh...

School starting soon... Stressed.

Begin mugging maths tomorrow... Haha

Went to NUS to take Qualifying English Test on wednesday. Oh well, hope i can pass it. The editing passage section was not that easy and the essay - 'Is the growing use of computers in classrooms today a cause for a alarm of celebration?'- sounded easy to most people but i wrote crap... Sighz.. I dont want to go for english modules....!

Anyway, after that, met the gang from Namji and we had a KTV session in Clementi PartyWorld. Ha.. din sing that much simply we had too many people - 12 freshies and 1 senior. Lol... It was an enjoyable time nonetheless..

After struggling with my old Sony Ericsson's cant talk, cant hear and later cant see from the blackout screen functions for about 1-2 months, i finally bought a new handphone. Quite like it except i couldnt transfer file from my computer to the phone! The software provided din work properly on my computer. Damn. I went to try at my workplace and it worked perfectly well. Argh.....

Anyway, on thurday, my second last day of work, our boss actually treated us to a Japanese restaurant at Shaw there. My second treat from her so far... Haha. And each set was not cheap. Almost $20 after taxes, but it was simply oishii desu.. Ha. And yesterday was the last day of work for Yvonne, Elaine and Me. Got a treat from Calvin too but it was Burger King. Haha....

My ECC collegues. My boss not inside though.. haha
Ha, now the boss is inside and she looked ghostly.. LoLx..

Finally, got some time to rest and relax before school starts in 2 weeks time...

All these were long overdued.....

....::::....
On friday night, 8 July, went to Yvonne's 21st birthday at Aloha Loyang. I went with all the collegues after work. Only reached there at around 8.30pm. By then, not much food was left.... Ah... hungry.. So we patiently waited for the cake cutting time. Haha.

In the mean time, chatted with Junyi and Shuling. They were my primary school classmates whom i havent met since 1996. Zhipeng was there too, but he was busy talking with his other friends. Ha, but good to see them again after so long. There are in NUS Arts and SS. So gotta see them next time too since engineering is just next to arts.
From left: Junyi, Yvonne, Shuling. Then me and Zhipeng behind.
And my collegues from ECC. By the way, the theme of the party was 'Red, Blue, White'. Well, most of us have white and blue. Red is hidden. Haha.

So after eating the cake, we left the place as it was too late already. The rest still had to work the next day. And the good Calvin sent everyone home. Haha..

....::::....
The next day, 9 July, we had our first Group 6 outing. First, we had lunch at Genki Sushi in the posh-looking Marina Square. It was to celebrate Xiujun's and Julyn's 21st birthday...Their birthdays are just 1 day apart. Later, we had 2 games of bowling. Ha... Didnt bowl for quite long already. Then, Julyn left shortly to prepare for her party at night.

After bowling, we had 2 hours of pool. The girls were good man. They actually thrashed the guys for a few games. Haha.. ok, i admit i wasnt that good in pool. Later, a few seniors met us and we left Marina Square to go to Julyn's birthday party.

The food at her party was good. Ha.. Or maybe cuz i was too hungry and i took quite a lot... The guys with the pretty birthday girl, Julyn. And of cuz, with the Best Group, Group 6...We were the largest group in her party. Haha.. Her party was quite interesting. There were poppers, and candles on the floor, leading to her birthday cake. Ahh, her boyfriend seemed to have done a lot for her.

Our birthday gift for her was twenty-one items, packed nicely in a box...And there were Erotic Dices, G-strings, cap, some toys etc. Quite cool. Later, we did a cheer there. Okay, we were too loud. Haha...

....::::....
On sunday, 10 July, went to Toa Payoh Central to 'support' Simon's camp charity project. If Keith din go, i wouldnt have gone. Haha.. Yes, Keith was in Singapore. So went to meet him as well. Besides, i lived in Toa Payoh, no excuse not to go. Haha. In the end, he being too nice, wanted to support Simon. I got no choice but to share with him. Haha... Okay, it's for charity.This candle cost $3.50! Okay, it's for charity...And Keith bought a scent pouch for $3.50 too... Later, Alan came and bought a scented bookmark. Oh my.. we warned him already.. Haha. Okay, it's for charity....

....::::....
Went to airport on Wednesday night, 13 July to send Lawrence, my good brother from NS, off to Australia to study. Quite dissappointed that others were not free to go. So i was there alone.... First time i saw his family whom he was always so secretive about last time during NS... Anyway, gave him a book as a farewell gift and wished him all the best.

....::::....
Went to NUS Yusoff Ishak House on thursday night for an interview to become part of Funkamania XII's committee member. Kinda nervous at first, but one of the interviewer was Linghuey, our group 6's councillor and the interview was more like asking which position we want and why. She is the Project Director for this project. Wah, big siah. Jinghan and Xiujun also went.

But if we got selected, should be in different groups. They will go into Programmes while me in Publicity... This week will know the outcome of the selection. So wait then...

I've promised to blog about my CAC camp and so here it is. However, i din receive all the photos but i've been dragging too long.. so i shall continue without much pictures...


The Cultural Activities Camp (CAC), Nkiruka '05, was an exciting, fun but tiring 5 days 4 nights camp. Before the camp, we had a pre-meeting cum briefing at Cafe Cartel, Plaza Singapura. There were 7 guys and 7 girls in our group. Din really talk much with all the group members but later had some games at the Istana park. Oh well, the unlucky me got forfeited and had to dance tango with Linghuey, our group councillor. Embarassing indeed. Ha.

~+~+~+~
Day 1
Went together with simon in his car and we were late. Learned some cheers before we embarked on our first activity - Internal Hunt.

In Internal Hunt, we had to go to various places in NUS and play games in each station. There were 6 different stations. The first station was to bite a biscuit stick in between each pair and the polo sweet on the biscuit must not drop while moving through a few obstacles. And we were just starting to get warmed up... heh heh.

Second station required all 14 of us to form a chain and had to weave through 16 numbered boxes on the floor.

So the first person gotta step on 1, then move to 2 while the next one will step into 1. And this continued till all the 14 people are in the squeezy squares and moved out one by one without breaking the chain. Quite interesting. Later, to get more bonus point, we........
performed the Monkey-Gorilla-Chimpanzee dance. It was hilarious indeed.

In another station, each pair had different things to do. For me, it was to transport water bags using legs...After receiving water bags from the lower level, we need to pass to the top level where simon and yanting were. Their job - the best - was to burst the bags using their backs. Ha.. it was damn funny....Junhao and Zhaowei looked so sweet... Haha. Their job was to move from one end to another with a stick in their mouth.

Next station, we had to pass wet sponge from one pair to another using body parts only. We gotta picked a body part and lucky me, i got knee to butt and in second round, neck to shoulder... Oh poor Jenny... But the most funny pair would be.... Junhao and Wanshi's foot to head. Lucky no one in our group got nose to armpit.. haha.

Next station was jumping through the hopscotch with a balloon in between each pair. Then did a charade for the rest to guess before bursting the balloon...


In another station, we had three missions to complete. First, to form a line with whatever things we had.... and we were the longest among all six groups! Second mission was to form 3D objects...and this was supposed to be a car. Yah, Aimei was the roof.. and then we had..a helicopter. Well, it was not the final one u saw here and Aimei was the propeller this time.

Last mission was a bit funny. We were lying alternately on each other stomach and the guys had to take off their clothes. Hmmm, i wondered what was the purpose for that...then being the first one, I shouted 'HA' once. The next one shouted 'HA HA HA' and the next one 'HA HA HA HA HA'. Yah, in increment of 2 each time and we restarted a few times as long as someone made mistakes. But it was so funny saying those 'HA HA HA...', it was hard to complete. Ha Ha..

Evening time, Secret Pal (SP) session. At first i thought it would be similar to those in JC, like writing letters and receiving letters etc. But i didnt know it was so like a real 'blind date'. First, the girls and guys were separated. Each given a nickname and our SP nick. I was 'Aragorn' and my SP was 'Arwen'. Everyone were blindfolded. Yes, how special it was. Then i was brought to Arwen and we started talking when we couldnt see each other.. Felt quite insecure cuz i would never know how many councillors were around us eavesdropping. Haha.. Then at one point, it was 'Feeding french fries' time. Yah, we still couldnt see. It was funny. The chatting blindly session lasted about 20 minutes but it seemed like eternity...

Then we embarked on our next activity - Mysterious Journey... It was so called because we were blindfolded throughout the whole journey for more than 4 hours..... and walked from stations to stations... going uphill.....and obstacles and played our first game.... Extinguish-the-fire-in-the-small-red-bucket. Well, supposedly there was fire in the bucket and everyone were lying round the bucket and we had to throw water bombs into the bucket using our leg...just like a catalpult. It was hard to aim and everyone would kena some misfired bombs... It was just the beginning.... Next up, it was Jack-and-Rose-at-the-sinking-Titanic...That was Julyn pulling herself up the goo-laid slope. After her turn, was me...Total grossed out. Anyway, see those red buckets... those were...buckets of goo made from starch. The councillors were so happily mixing them and everywhere we went, they would slap us with tons of 'mucus' on us... Back to the game, when we were on top, we had to act out the scene in Titanic....Erm... ok, i know i was hugging the tree a little bit too tight, but i was so tired.. haha... next stop, the The Noah's Ark where each pair was assigned an animal and we had to search for our partner by making out the sound. Lucky, my animal was frog. There was one pair who got peacock and the guy shouted 'pea' while the girl shouted 'cock'. It was so funny... haha. And after we found our partner, we were brought to a place where we had to eat banana. We gotta bite at each end and the banana got shorter and shorter and shorter....I must admit my lips touched hers a bit at one moment.. haha. So paiseh.... but compared to Wanshi and Wenyong....whom lips were like sticking with each others from the photo...and Jinghan and Aimei...who looked so passionate... haha.. Next, The-witch's-concoction. We had to pass marshmallow using mouth only and also to pass long massages from one to another.. The cleanest game for the night. Next, Search-for-items-in-the-filthy-tank...For my turn, Jinghan, Aimei and I went into the tank with so many rubbish. And we gotta search for a tiny comb. But the water in the tank washed us up a little.. haha. And finally, the last station was The-gigantic-slide. It was the most fun and exciting game for the night. Yah, our job was just to slide down this goo-layered slope into a pool of more goo. It was fun.

And after the slide, our fun-filled day had finally ended. Time? 2.45am. After washing up back at Eusoff Hall and writing the SP's postcard, i finally slept at 4am..
~+~+~+~
Day 2
The day kicked off with a series of Telematches at the Sports and Recreation Centre. But still, we had to move from basketball court to track to field to court again and to another court. Ha. There were 6 different games also.

Captain ball using tomatoes and apples which in the end got smashed up to bits that were so hard to continue anymore, the game was stopped. We won anyway. Haha.

Chain of chairs in which everyone stood on the chairs and we gotta move the last chair to the front and all the way till end point. Along the way, gotta collect water bombs from the floor and used them to hit our opponents' 3 balloons tied to their ankles. We lost, we werent fast enough...

Tarzan, Jane, Chimpanzee was like 'scissors-paper-stone' and the winners moved along a row of chairs until we reached the opponents' sides. Losers gotta restart. And we lost again... badly.

Table soccer was playing soccer like those you see in arcades. I was the goal-keeper.. Haha. Quite boring at my side and our group won with 3-1. Ah... so u know why...

Grab-the-black-cloth from a pair of opponents' back and our ankles were tied together... Quite a rough game when it was free-for-all time.. we lost again.. oh well..

War game was quite an interesting game. This time, all 6 groups had their own base comprising of 2 chairs, 2 candles and a string between the chairs. Each group had a few people defending the string from being burned while the rest carried lit candles and tried to attack other teams' base, to burn their strings. It was quite hard cuz once our candle was blown by any opponents, we needed to light it again either at the base or from our team-mates. Meanwhile, we couldnt do anything, supposedly.. haha.... Our group's string was quickly burned, thanks to the incompetent base protector which i dont want to say who... LOL..

After lunch it was Pool Games time and everyone changed into their swimming gears... There were 6 games too and 1 grand finale...

Starting with Let's-Play-Majong. This was quite interesting.. We had to find the tiles from underwater to form certain winning combination as specificed by the station i/c...
And it was the first time i heard this bai wan fu weng combination. It was to get 14 tiles of wan and must add up to 100. The ultimate combination. Haha.. And to get more bonus point, we....did the Monkey-Gorilla-Chimpanzee again in the water version. Haha.. Quite dumb. Next, was Passing-Water-Using-Cup-in-Mouth...It was not easy to aim accurately. Next, we had this game where half of our group in water, throwing bottle caps and ping pong balls to the other half outside water, using plates to catch...And our opponents acted as defenders to block us out... Next, we had Water Charade...We gotta act out while underwater and passed to the next one. The last person would guess. It was so funny at this station for our team. We couldnt stop laughing. Mainly because we cheated. Haha.. Imagine the sixth(last) person guessed the answer 'Teletubbies' correctly when he was only shown a clue of drawing a rectangle at the stomach area. Haha.. the station i/c couldnt believe us either... Next, we had Captain's ball in the pool..And yes, we won. Last game was Guess-Guess-Guess. Some trivia questions about NUS as well as qian bian wen ti. We almost got all the questions correctly... haha. And the grand finale was to doll up our model, Junhao, using items we got from opposite side of the pool and swam across... haha.All groups competed together and all models gotta dance. It was so funny.... But we din win. Ha...

Later at evening, it was SP time again. During our chat, my SP told me she got got taurus phobia and looking for guys of 1.8m. And before that, she already knew im a taurus and only 1.75m. I felt a bit stunned and hurt.

Thankfully, the session was only about 15 minutes and next up, we had Fright Night... At first I thought, 'Ah, must be something similar to a ghost house and we need to walk through the house and getting scared along the way and that's all.' I was quite impressed how much effort the councillors had prepared for this....

First, we waited quite long and took a lift at the Design and Environment Faculty there. The lift was decorated with drooping trash bags from the ceiling and made it so spooky. When the lift reached level 4, it opened. We heard people talked loudly outside. We lifted the black curtain and saw a medium and a guy. I must say at this point, i was so amazed how the councillor acting as medium was so bravo. She splited herself to like 6 different characters. The guy was asking her about his past, why his family had all died except him. We were standing around them to watch..

Later, after the guy told us to help him solve the mystery why he didnt died, the lift opened again. We were told to go back in. And to some of the girls' shock, there was a female ghost, wearing white standing at a corner. Quite spooky. Some screamed when the ghost grabbed hold of Julyn's arm while we were going down.

Ha, i thought, this was so interesting and i was quite looking forward to the ghost house. But, i was wrong. There were six different places we had to go and not just 1 ghost house. Ah...

And first stop, i was paired up with Yiling and turn by turn, each pair would go up a staircase. Since this was our first station, we dun really know what we are supposed to do and go. We were just instructed to go all the way up and so we did. At the top, an injured man lay there, chained up. He told us to get a key from the rotting dead man at the bottom for him. And so i carefully searched the dead man's hand for the key but couldnt find. He jumped up suddenly and Yiling screamed. Expected. They were shouting about we shouldnt save him.. and told us to leave. So we went down to the second floor and saw Junhao and Wanshi i think. They were talking to another ghost. Hmm.. i was confused. We were instructed to go out to the rooftop....

And from far, we saw a red lady sitting at the edge of the building. She turned around, waved at us and jumped down. Oh my.. the scene was so real and movie-worthy. I was so impressed. Later, back to where Junhao and Wanshi was just now, we were told to go into a dark toilet to help the male ghost get his teddy bear from a female ghost. Yiling had to go in alone. She refused and i persuaded and comforted her. Funny that even the male ghost agreed with me when i told Yiling to quickly go in and take the bear and leave, or else we just gotta stay here very long. And so she went in, screamed a little and we quickly left. The end of station 1.

Ahh... then i knew what to expect at every station already. Second station I was partnered with Aimei. She wasnt scared at all. So we walked through the building, along the way with some ghosts and our mission was to pray to a dead woman lying in a coffin and offered jocksticks to her. Then Aimei gotta put a necklace round her. Ha.. i was trying to control my laughter when Aimei said sorry to her cuz she had a hard time lifting her head to put the necklace in. And we left shortly. Nothing much.

Third station was really spooky. I paired up with Zhaowei and we went into this pitch-dark, dilapidated toilet. Before entering, we could hear baby crying. So we entered and i saw a ghost in white cheongsam standing in one of the cubicles. We skipped that and went further in. I knew there was somebody hiding there but couldnt see, so we went to that cubicle again. The ghost came out, carrying her crying baby. She asked me if i was Ah-Seng. I told her im not. Our mission was to get her the pacifier from one of the basin. So we slowly walked there and suddenly, an old lady appeared in green light a distance behind us. Later, that female ghost asked us to get a milk bottle from her granny. A bit of struggling with granny before she gave us the bottle. Later, I was supposedly to feed the baby, but i couldnt stuff the milk bottle into the fake baby's mouth. Then the granny came out, snatched the baby and flushed it down the toilet bowl. The ghost was devastated and asked us to save her baby. Well, we could only watch their 'performance' and did nothing much. I was still holding the milk bottle when we were asked by a black figure who appeared suddenly. Ha.. and we stepped out of the toilet and at the door, i showed them the milk bottle in my hand. Then one of them quickly snatched it from me. Haha.. it was funny.

Fourth station was a construction site, a tunnel. As we walked along, a ghost was crawling behind us and grabbed Yanting's leg. Ha.. she screamed so loudly. Later, a box was suddenly thrown in front of us. She screamed again. Our mission was to search for a ring in a dead worker's pockets. I searched for very long and couldnt find. The ghost who asked us to help him was trying to hint me by pointing at that particular pocket, but i couldnt find. In the end, the ring was found buried in sands in the dead worker's pocket. So we left and along the way, a ghost suddenly threw her head on the floor. Yanting screamed again. And we exited the place shortly after that shock..

Fifth station required us to find a watch and red cloth for a freak. She, actually he was talking to us and Wanshi was trying to be funny with him. Ha.. i was keeping quiet beside her, listening cuz their conversation was indeed funny. And we left taking a lift down. Of cuz, in the place, there were a few ghosts trying to scare us, but we were quite calm.. haha.

Last station was my favourite actually. It all happened at a rooftop somewhere. Yanting and I was the first pair to go. So we carefully climbed up to the rooftop and Yanting didnt want to continue. Later, a female ghost appeared and beckoned us to follow her. Then she threw a ball down a passage way and we gotta pick it. So we walked down and i saw a hole, big enough to hide someone in there. I was prepared for it but as i walked past, nothing happened. I thought, i was thinking too much. So i passed that hole, picked the ball and walked back. Then someone grabbed my ankle from that hole. Yanting screamed. Ha... sure, i got a shock suddenly cuz i thought no one was in there. Later, a ghost wearing school uniform asked us to find her exams script. We were led to a place which required us to enter a small door and there were pillars and beams in there. Of cuz, we were at the rooftop. In there, I walked the left side first, then i saw a black figure there. Ha.. then i changed direction and walked the right side instead. That ghost must be dissappointed. Haha.. I saw the exam script on the floor, i wanted to pick it, but Yanting was pulling me away. A bit struggling with her when suddenly a doll dropped from above. Lucky, Yanting was pulling me or else i would have been hit. I was reaching the exams script and i saw the ghost approaching. Yanting pulled me away again before i could get. The ghost backed up a bit too. Funny. When i finally got the script, the ghost just said something, but i couldnt hear cuz Yanting's scream was too loud. So we left the place and handed the script to the girl. The end of the station.

And so finally when our group had finished all 6 stations, it was like 3am+. There was a grand finale still, and we needed to wait for all the groups to finish. We waited and slept. And so when all the group arrived, we were blindfolded and led to a place. Everyone stood in rows. And till now, im still not too sure what exactly was the grand finale. Perhaps they were just taking pictures while we were blindfolded. When we left the place, all the ghosts revealed themselves and shook hands with us. They had great make-up and costumes.

And i appreciated their effort. Imagine wearing the makeup for 7hours and had to act at least 36 times at each station for all of us. Nonetheless, great end to the fright night but was so tiring. Time? 4.50am. Slept at 5.45am.
~+~+~+~
Day 3
Sleeping less than 2 hours, we started the day with The Amazing Food(Foot) Race. It was superbly awesomely thrillingly fun... Along the way, we needed to solve clues to find the places to go or food to eat.
We started off from NUS to Bugis Junction. From there we moved to:

1. Bugis street to buy a food from a certain stall but it didnt open. Changed to some drinks.

2. Fu Lu Shou Centre to find shops' unit number where they have items as shown on the given pictures.
3. The Food Centre nearby to eat Papaya Fungal Dessert.

4. Scuplture Square near Nayang Academic of Fine Arts to find passerby to take photo with each pair of us and pose. I teamed up with Jenny and must say we managed to take with 6 or 7 people. Our group total was 31. Impressive.

5. Somewhere near Selegie to eat tau huay. Ha, we managed to rest a bit.

6. Centrepoint to ask male passerbys to put on lipsticks and kiss on paper. This was interesting but not easy. Got to persuade hard and Im sure we did make a big scene over there. Haha. We only managed to get 13 kisses. Then, to get more bonus point, we were asked to perform a scene from Guang Liang's song, Di Yi Chi. So the girls stayed at the centrepoint side while the guys went across the road. From opposite we shouted 'Wo ai ni!' And the girls replied, 'Wo ting bu dao. Ni ai shui?'. We shouted back together with the name of one of our councillors. Haha.. A lot of people were looking at us then. Embarrassing.

7. At Wheellock Place, we needed to ask people to weigh on the spot and helped us get a combine weight of 1200kg. We managed to get 1201kg. Lucky. And again, for the third time, we did the Monkey-Gorilla-Chimpanzee dance. Real embarassing with so many people around.

8. At Takashimaya, we needed to find the prices of 8 items from the shops at basement 2. I teamed up with Yanting and we managed to got 2. First was some sweets which we spent quite some time looking for it. It was found in Watson. Second item was Ansell Bareback. Well, we didnt know what it was until we found it in Guardian Pharmacy. When we asked one of the sales assistant(an middle-aged woman) there, she thought for a while and led us to the shelf. She gave us a funny, cheeky grin while pointing at Ansell Bareback and i realised the item was a pack of condoms! Oh my... Well, no choice, i took the pack of condoms and confirmed its name and checked the price. Lucky, we didnt need to buy it. Haha... Had our lunch here and by then, it was 3pm already. We got to finish the race by 6pm and we still have 6 more places to go. Linghuey, our councillor was concerned and asked us to rush if possible.

9. A fast walk got us to Killiney where we ate durian chee cheong fun.

10. A quicker speed to Funan where we ate Taco's Bell Bean Burito

11. Citylink's Breadtalk to ate a specific type of bread.

12. We ran to the library at Esplanade next where we need to find 10 words from 10 different books. And these words would form a sentence. We only managed to find 5 words but still guessed the sentence correctly. Bravo.

13. Ran to the underpass at Citylink where we always see people break-dancing away. There, we needed to get the whole group to skip...It was not easy because one person would go into the revolving rope each time till all 14 people. Then, our mission was completed only when all 14 people were inside and managed to jump together once successfully. Took quite some time. We left 45 minutes to 6pm.

14. Ran to Suntec City's Sky Garden where we needed to find 6 hidden small papers of clue... We searched high and low for the last clue which later was found at one of the stone chair blocked by some extras sitting there. Im sure they were paiseh about it. And the 6 clues brought us to our final station. We left 20 minutes.

15. A lightning speed walk to our last station - Bugis Junction's fountain. There, we found our station I/C missing. We panicked cuz we only left 10 minutes. We called them and then our mission was to find them with the clues 'the place with 9 squares for Pepsi'. We split into 3 groups to find. Our group went straight up to the cinemas. Bingo. They were there. The rest joined us shortly.

Time when we complete the race? 5.58pm. Yes, impressively just 2 minutes to 6pm...We did a cheer there... Haha. I must applaud the girls' strength to keep up with the incredible speed we had for the last 3 hours. Everyone was tired and sweating. Later, we gotta know that we were the only group to finish the entire race. Ha. We took more than 7hours though.

Later at night, SP session again. This time, we gotta choose one body part to see. Well, she chose to look at my teeth + lips while i chose ears. Ha.. dunno why i chose ears also. The councillors took picture of the specific body parts using handphone and showed us while covering us with trash bag. Yes, no chance of peeping. Then, one councillor asked me to answer, "What is her favourite fruit?" Apparently I got 3 tries wrong and the punishment was to hold her hands for the rest of our conversation time. The answer was 'Chocolate'! DUH?! We didnt talk much actually, but we sang. I sang Guang Liang's Tong Hua first then she sang Fish Leong's Yong Qi. Later, we sand a duet, Wu Ding and cuz she din know how to sing the female part, i sang it. Ha.. sounded quite nice.. =)

After that, we had to practise our dance to be performed the next day at Chinablack bash. We only started at around 12am and from scratch. Took some time to choose our music and create our dance moves. It was hard to choreograph. When we finished creating and practising, it was 5.15pm. Everyone were so damn tired but we couldnt stop because we had no other time to practise already.

Day 4
Woke up at 6.45am to get ready for a day of fun at Sentosa.

Other groups woke up much earlier to have breakfast at dining hall. But for us, our kind councillors helped us prepare breakfast to be eaten on the bus to Sentosa. Hence, we managed to sleep a little more. Actually, not a lot considering we slept at like 5.30am..

The day at Sentosa beach started with us looking like zombies. But as we moved on with the games, we got more energetic. Haha.. Played a lot of games and got plenty of sunburned.

Hello-kitty-Pikachu-Teletubbies, a guessing game like scissor-paper-stone and the losers got splash with water and later, rolled in sand. We lost and got both treatments. Haha.

Turtle, Turtle, Jump where we could not lift up the same limbs as our opponents. Lost badly. Sigh..

Obstacle game where the girls would find ping pong balls buried in sand first. Then crossed the limbo rock with their partners. Then the girl hold a hula-hoop for the guy have to jump through. Then the guy carried the girl to the net where we crawled under. Next, the girl gotta go to the second floor of the watchtower and drop a water bomb to the guy below to catch. Lastly the entire group had to hold strings attached to a stick and write the words 'Sentosa' on the sand. We lost to our opponent again. Not fast enough.

Moving-along-Chain where everyone formed a chain using arms in water and turn by turn, one would move along the chain to reach the finishing point. We lost again.

Touch rugby for the guys only. The sands were so hot that our feet got so red after that. We won by the way. Haha.
Frisbees for the girls only. The girls lost.

Volleyball in water and we used the guys' t-shirts as nets to catch and throw waterbombs, tomatoes and grapes and not real ball used. It was fun.

Throwing-waterbombs-into-baskets onto our group members who were on merry-go-round. Our opponents cheated at first because they were standing so close to the merry-go-round. They got in lots of waterbombs into the baskets which were on those people's back. Then we followed suit by standing where they stood. Cheapo.

Water-bottle-fighting game in the water where the girls holding full water bottle would sit on the guys' shoulder and it was a one on one game. The girls needed to get the opponents' water bottle empty. It was not easy as balance was important also. Ha, I had a bit of struggling at first cuz I was kneeling while Wanshi climbed onto me. She was trying to balance herself and the sands were making my knees so painful. The waves came in and covered me for a few moments. I couldnt take it and so Wanshi came down. Yes, my knees were quite painful. Then second try and this time, i didnt kneel. So quickly, i managed to stand with her on my shoulder.. Haha..

400seconds-No-NG was an interesting game. Every pair had different missions to complete. There couldnt be anything wrong or else we gotta restart. My mission was the last one and simple. I just sat there and everyone would rub soap onto me till the soap finished. I had a thorough clean-up plus exfoliating scrub with the mixture of sands and soap! Excruciating pain. Haha. But our opponent team finished the soap first though we started first. I knew they cheated cuz we could see bits of soap among the sands. Well, we were considered lost despite protest.

Build sandcastle was the finale game where all groups would participate at the same time. First we would make as many water bombs as possible before building. When time was up, we would use the waterbombs to attack other groups' sandcastle. Everyone were like in frenzy. We had protectors who practically covered our sandcastle with their bodies. I was the attacker. Waterbombs were seen flying around. And it seems many people didnt aim at the sandcastles but at other people. Got hit a few times but it was so fun attacking others too. Haha.. Well, we didnt really win despite we put more sand on top during the bombing session.

And after the games, we left Sentosa at around 3pm and went back to NUS.

It was time to reveal who our SP were. But first, we would change into our clubbing wear. Ha.. then the guys would waited at the porch while the girls of each group would cramp into one of the rooms together with many councillors. All the guys whose SP were from the same group were grouped together. Then we were brought to outside the girls room..

Feeling nervous, one by one, the guys entered the packed room while blindfolded. I was with Jinghan cuz our SP were from group 5. We hate the waiting moment cuz we were so nervous about what we would be asked to do inside the room. I was the second last guy to enter the room...

Once inside the room, i was asked to perform something to impress the my SP. I tried to sing without knowing lyrics well. Ha. But cuz i sang before during the second night's SP session, i couldnt sing the same song which i know well. In the end, after much thoughts, i sang Jay's An Jing. It sounded horrible because I was so nervous. It was my first time I sang so openly and i dunno how many people were listening because i was blindfolded. Later, i needed to guess my SP from her voice. I listened to 5 different voices. I guessed correctly at first try though. Ha, im good.

Then, we exchanged gifts, took photos like a star because there were 4 cameras and left the room to the dining hall. After a while we boarded a bus to go to Chinablack for our bash. On the bus, then i gotta know the reason why we didnt talk much on the second and third night's SP session. On second night, she told me she was so tired she fell asleep a few times when blindfolded. That's why she didnt respond me and was slow. On the third night, she told me she could see through her blindfold. She didnt want to talk much because she could see the number of councillors around us. And her favourite fruit was watermelon. I actually got it correct on my second guess. Poor me. Got cheated.

Reached Chinablack at around 7pm and we were treated with buffet inside. Jinghan and his SP, Ruoxuan sat together with me and my SP. The buffet was quite okay. Had a few wierd moments with my SP. Think got some communication problems. One classic question she asked, "Why you speak Chinese at home?" I replied, "Because my parents cannot speak English." Okay, i know it was so DUH. Jinghan felt funny too as he was listening to our conversation while Ruoxuan went away..

Later, we had our dance competition. My SP's group won while our group supposedly got second. Oh well. And that concluded our bash for the night at around 9pm. Our group didnt want to stay at Chinablack, so we decided to go KTV at Partyworld.

However, Jenny drank 4 glasses of alchol and she got high and drunk. Along the way, she was laughing and talking nonsense. So many people were looking at her. We spent quite some time on her before reaching Partyworld at around 1045pm. We were given the VIP room cuz we had like 20+ people and that room was real huge. Our KTV session lasted from 11pm to 3am. By 12am, at least half of the people were sleeping already despite the loud music. By 1am, I couldnt take it and slept. Waking up occasionally by the loud music. Only 2 or 3 people managed to stay awake throughout... Impressive.

Went back to NUS and slept at 4am+.

Day 5
Time to pack and leave Eusoff Hall.... But before that..Picture of the freshies...Pictures of our great councillors. Not all of them here though... and finally...NAMJI, Group 6 of CAC Freshman Orientation camp.

Back at Yusoff Ishak House, we wrote testimonials and wishes on everyone's personal piece of paper. And also prize giving time. We won first prize of the Internal Hunt. Prize was a hamper of goodies. Pity, we were only second for the Amazing Food Race. But well, seems like all groups had won prizes. And also, for the highest honour prize, we were awarded the BEST GROUP, the seventh time for group 6 in ten years. And we received an even bigger hamper.

So proud to be in group 6, the best group ever.. Group 6 rocks. CAC rocks too.
