Alrighty-o! Lots to update. Tis been funfun. SO. Thursday was Dim Sum-with-Abee day, where we bounced to Suntec for a dimsum feast ( SO odd but SO funny!), where we sat amongst a throng of old ,working or retired people gathering in Crystal jade for a wholesome get together for high tea. haha. We got shown to a small table in the corner, which happened to be next to a tank full of fish; all having a secret gathering, and we concluded that the shrimp were going to eat us.

oh.

HAHA. So lunch comprised of various THINGS including a some form of odd translucent dumpling thing, and , of course, a pao. ha. Sat and ate for like an hour-ish and by the time we were done, we looked around and realized that everyone was GONE. We were ALONE. With the fish. DANG. Shopping followed. Was not so bad! Since we had branded dimsum for lunch, we scrimped on dinner, had food in a BOX, and hung out at far east solely because the RAIN was being a BEETCH and wouldn't stop comin down upon us. HA. Then it was home.

Yesterday was cool. FOC gathering at sentosa! The plan was actually, to meet Melissa and Daniel at Harbourfront station at bout 1130. but NOOOO. Melissa was still at Jurong! ahahahaha. Thus Daniel and I moved on to the monorail thingiwimmie ( which was quite a chore to find, after seeking directions and stuff and concluding that i'm a failed Singaporean). FOUND IT. And also bumped into Ryan and some other Gls at the ticket booth. Thus we all clumped and hung together. Got to Sentosa at like 12ish and hit the BEACH. Twas great fun.

So we all stepped into the FOC territory and immediately! The dunking began. First up was Daniel, who got THROWN into the sea by Chris, Jerome and some other dudes. I stood in the sidelines with the others, laughing my bum off. THEN. They realized I was dry. they turn and yell " There's still one more! GET her!"

PANIC.

I RUN.

My flops were being BEETCHES. I get caught. They pick me up. I yell. They attempt to roll me over. They fail. they LIFT! I PLONK. Fully clothed, right into the water. And this continued like 5 more times , just random people flinging me into the sea SOLELY because i am LIGHT! ahaha. So then kai arrived. Everyone CHARGED towards him JUST to dunk the dude! ahahaha. BUT. He wasn't going to give in without a violent fight. Get this. He BIT Jackie on his arm, SCRATCHED Daniel with his FOOT, Bit a whole bunch of other people and struggled all the way till he was thrown in. HAHA. Beach volleyball followed, with everyone discovering their new found violence and then there was captain ball! Where I not only shoved a dude aside and snatched the ball, but i also brought this girl down to the sand JUST for the ball. Violence much? that's what too much sand and sun does to you! ahaha. Truth or dare in the water followed. and MASS shower in the girls bathroom. Dinner was spent in KFC with a bunch of GLs and camp crew, where Ryan became my buddy and Greg became my new found mortal combat friend. HA! So at like nine, we all parted and I trained home, looking ever so conspicuous in my BRIGHT red tan under the REALLY bad light of the train.

Darn. ha.

SO. Its been quite a week. The FOC camp didnt turn out bad at all! It was actually, well, GREAT. I wasn't that odd , sad, loner in the corner laughing at my own randomness. Within a day, I found my sidekicks ( AHAHAHA just kidding) , great people actually, to hang out with, who are just as random as I.

The first day was obviously, a whole bunch of ice breakers to get us into interaction mode. We played like whacko and stuff for the first couple of hours. It was such a huge whacko group, I couldn't retain anyone's name, thus I went on a whacking spree! It was fun. Way too many forfeits though! AHA. Then we had stuff like broken television, where I went crazy and screwed up the whole arrangment all in the name of fun. HA. Turned out hi-larious. So the GLs were basically feeding us with ENDLESS cheers, which were actually pretty cool! But for the first few hours, I found no one to be high and laughing with... until I found Jerome and Loga! Fabulous people they are. Then we found MORE random people... Like Murphy ( who is, by the way, FLIPPIN tall, even Dode would shrink into nothingness AHAHA), Chris ( Big man!) , Daniel ( LAGSANIA and the cause of my gorgeous swollen cheek AHA), Justin ( JT man! ) , and Amanda!

So we had this ice breaker whereby we all got blindfolded with garbage bag things and were matchmade with someone else, who would eventually be your dance partner for MASS dance ( my first thought was like... holy SHIT. Mass dance?! I can't follow choreography to save my life). So I was paired with this dude, Jackie, and we just talked for like... FOREVER, blind folded. And I was SO sure there were GLs WATCHING us, making sure we talked. WHY? Cos I tried to be inconspicuuos and peep through my blindfold to check out what was going on, then this voice from the BEYOND went... " OI! I STAND BEHIND YOU YOU STILL DARE TO PEEK AH! AHAHA."

Then night fell and we were thrown into this lecture room to watch JUNO ( seriously. like my fourth time) and everyone was so exhausted they were falling asleep. So Jerome, Daniel, Chris, Justin and I had this whole night walk plan settled... when we found out that the GLs PLANNED a night walk already! and that was what we were waiting for. After Juno, came a whole string of HI-LARIOUS Model-falling-on-catwalk, ACHman and Russel Peters marathon... then came THE EYE. Half of the people walked out. AHAHAHA. oh. I was one of them. HA.

So we hung out outside with like a few Sigmas. But then we were forced to return into the LT. Chris, myself ,Daniel and Amanda were cowering beind the seats... till we fell asleep. HA. Then when It was like 2pm, when we thought it was all over... They started playing VANTAGE POINT. wtf. I was literally on the floor, asleep. HA. So finally came our groups turn to go for the night walk. Our group of 8 was split, and I ended up with Justin, Daniel and Chris. We crept around the school, jumping at the slightest noises. Entered the male toilet to look for some clues, died, came out, jumped, yelled, screamed, pulled, tugged, lept,cringed, dived, crawled, and SURVIVED! The night walk lasted like 10 mins. But it was good fun.

The second day was this whole series of station games. I tell you. One word.

NASTY.

The first game involved rafia string, EERKYness, and butter. WE. were. like. the. epitomy. of. smelly-ness. The first few people were just gone la. The dudes had butter in their SHIRTS and UP their pants. It was like... DAAAANNG. Second game was... the toothpaste thing I think! That was BAD. Especially when it came to my turn. Toothpaste on my nose. Dude next to me had to take it with his mouth. SO. EVERYONE , like even from the other group, CROWDED around to watch the process! Laughing their bums off. Some GL even took a photo and put it up on the Sigma Phi blog! FOOLS i tell you. AHAHA. We missed the next few water games due to bad weather and proceeded with our pursuit for more marbles. We ended the day with like... some WORM CHICKEN EGG HUMAN SUPERMAN thing which was pretty funny. I think Saddam PROCLAIMED me a permenant worm! AHAHA. Returned to shower and our people had a round of truth or dare outside our sleeping area that included attempting to hide from the GLs half of the time, and I even disguised as a man so we could continue playing inside. HA. funny. Nearly passed off. Awesome stuff.

The next morning. FATEFUL DAY. Ohkay. so we started the day off with mass dancing practice i think, and Jackie and I were getting increasingly LOST in this whole hip hop routine. HI-larious stuff i tell you. Then we had a REALLY gross lunch ( mainly because we ate this cementish-muddyish-clayish potato THING which totally KILLED our appetite for the chicken rice. Nasty. So after lunch came this water game. VIOLENCE I say! ( not that I'm not violent enough already! ) and so THIS was what happened. Our groups aim was to pick up all these empty bags while we were getting attacked my water bombs.

ME : ( thinking) oh look! There's an empty bag on the floor. CHARGE.

Daniel: ( screaming in the distance to GLs) Oi! Stop throwing at me! ( SPLAT.)

ME: ( still thinking) I'm nearly there! Empty bag, here i come!

Daniel: ( slips on muddy grass and falls ) AHHHH!

ME: ( in the process of bending over to pick up the bag and still thinking ) YAY!

At this moment, both Daniel and Sonia are at the same level. Sonia turns. daniel yells.

- COLLLLLLLIIIIISSSIOOOON-

A lot of noise.

GLs in unison. : " OMG! Are you okay ? GET OUT GET OUT, we need a MEDIC"

" Is your face okay? OH MY GOD ITS BAD. MEDIC MEDIC!!"

And i'm just there.

AHAHAHAHA.

So I got some ice, shoved it on my swollen face and sat and waited with a few other injured individuals, with people like the GL melissa, dude with the mohawk, Ryan( WHA you look so familiar ah!) and Charles constantly prodding my face and checking if it was alright. HA. But honestly, thanks guys, for being so concerned :) much appreciated. THANK! If you're wondering how it looks right now, it just looks like eyeliner gone WRONG. ahahaha. That night though, I got back into my state of hyperness, and actually AGREED to wear a Toga ( with LOGA) AHAHa, and like do some impromtu stuff. It was AWESOME. And great. People ran up to the stage and worshipped me. AHAHAHA. oh. Anyho, That night was the last night in camp and they transformed the Convention centre into this mini clubbing thing for us to enjoy our last night. Twas cool. So despite the exhaustion, No one actually DARED to sleep that night, in fear of getting attacked by markers and toothpaste ( cos, that's apparently what they do). Thus... TRUTH OR DARE. It was pretty bad and NASTY. But good CLLLEEEEEEAAAAAAN fun all the same. CLEAN fun. totally. HAHA. Alda and Loga got toothpaste pretty bad though. FU-NNY.

Next morning. TOTALLY exhausted. But since it was the last day, I attempted to be hyper all the same. It worked out for a while... until we got into this air conditioned LT with SUPER comfy chairs.

I K.O.ed.

So they had this whole saying goodbye thingiwimmies with like videos and pictures and tears and hugs. It was indeed an awesome camp, I have to admit. Then some of us Sigmas made up our own CHEEKY cheer! HA. Funny funny. Sigma Phi walked away with the BEST CHEER award, Kappa Tau with the most BONDED award, Delta Chi with the most ENTHUSIASTIC award, and Zeta Pi with the most EMO award! AHAHA. too cool.

We got our camp shirts ( which , btw is SUPER huge, I was literally wearing a dress, which this GL kindly noted out with this.)

" EH! how come you not wearing PANTS?"

- laughter-

pause.

ME: " I DON"T FEEL LIKE!"

AHAHAHAHAHA.

Yeah it was Fabulous shit. We said our goodbyes , went home and CRASHED.

Then came yesterday. Daniel suggested we go out, so I passed the message on to some Sigma dudes, who eventually passed it on to GLs like KAI who eventually called like... nearly the whole FOC! AHAHA. We bumped into Kappa in town. Had this whole horror marathon thing, which invloved A LOT of screaming as we sat through first , The Orphanage, then Shutter in orchard. SHIIIIT. The Orphanage wasnt too bad, minus the occassional time I would dive towards Shunli or daniel ( Who was, hiding in the corner the whole time ahahaha) . So we survived, walked out of the theatre , and decided to catch Shutter! TOO funny. Got the tickets ( altogather, we spent like 200 plus bucks on the movies) and walked into the theatre arm in arm, making a huge commotion about scaring daniel. So I sat with Loga , Ryan and Tian ( sorry if I got the name wrong! fellow 2nd year mass commer). The movie began. I was talking to Ryan. Creepy sound whooshes up up upon us, this image appears on the screen. I didnt even look. It scared the crap out of me, i cut Ryan off mid sentence, YELLED and practically broke Loga's arm and literally lept on ryan. WHO. Then couldnt stop laughing at me. HA. Everytime we predicted a scary scene, Ryan would go like this.

" Get into position! Get into position!"

And upon his call, all four of us would like LEAP, link arms and hold hands , looking like total losers ( well, except for me. AHAHA) and scream. OH. After we were all officially spooked, Melissa scared me with that hand dryer thing and i actually SCREAMED. HA. She stood in the corner and laughed at me. ha.

So I headed back at bout eight-ish, nine and tuned into Heroes. Which. I have completely lost interest in since i've lost track of whats goin on. Darn.

Thursday will be Abee day, Friday will be downtown east day, Sunday will be potential Crashing Delta Chi day, and Monday will be Sentosa with FOC day.

Meanwhile, PEER BELOW.
