hi its been a while since i last posted haha. just came back from 10 days of almost back to back camps, was due to my bad planning, but i have no ragrets haha.
after coming back from japan i lepak for close to 1 month playing games, watching anime and sleeping alot, barely learning much in preparation for uni, and not getting any part time cos all my tuition application failed. then after getting scolded for quite a bit, i went to do part time in the pokemon cafe, just to yolo and try out a f&b job for the experience.
to summarize, it was a really shag job, getting used to doing 7 hrs in a row with no break time, no meal time. my first few shifts i couldn't stand the hunger after enduring from 9am-4pm without eating anything, so occasionally i ate some leftovers back in the kitchen cos i couldn't take it anymore lol. and i converted to pm shift where the hunger issues weren't so bad and where the shifts were about 1 hour shorter.
towards the end i realised i got used to the job and enjoyed talking with all the similar-aged ppl there. merchant was damn fun cos u get to talk about pokemon, interact with all the enthu kids, help ppl search for what they looking for, arrange all the cute merchandize, and draw stuff during the free time. but yea i got used to the busser role too, after awhile it wasn't so bad after all. of course it was still an f&b job so i had to do all the saikang like clear plates, mop floor, clear trash, carry stuff. but it was fun while it lasted and i was a little reluctant to stop haha.
then came in the camps. technically i alr finished arts camp before i ended my part-time, and that was pretty fun cos there were so many workshops that let u try like dance, instruments, singing, etc, and it gave me an idea of what cca i wanted to join. but after that came the 3 back-to-back camps and i was a bit apprehensive, cos the first camp shagged me out by the 3rd day, and i never do this kind of yolo thing before haha.
so first up was freshmen orientation, and tbh it was pretty boring, and i dint really like the ppl there that much, but there were times it was fun. then after a 1 day break i went for inspirar, which is a community service camp, but actually still an orientation camp. it was free and i wanted to clock some of the 80 required cip hours to graduate before entering sch.
it turned out to be extremely fun, cos there was sentosa games, which i haven't done in ages. it was also a chill yet well-planned camp, so during the free time, me and another guy went to play all the mind games we can think of, such as black magic, is this a string, mrt, telephone, take picture, etc. it was damn fun cos there was this girl who damn blur and her reaction damn epic. learned a few coin and rubber band 'magic' tricks as well.
the welfare for inspirar was also a lot better than my previous camps, the people were all a lot more friendlier than my previous camps and the performance items were also pretty entertaining, almost as good as arts camps haha. i was damn shag on the last day though, and only had like 7 hours to sleep after going home to pack before going for meta camp, which was my faculty and final camp. it was a really good way to end of my pre-uni summer too haha.
meta camp was not like an amazingly awesome camp by itself. its activities and welfare will be about on par with arts camp or inspirar camp. but its cos of the facis and the other ppl that make it so fun. IS ppl are like a lot more closer because they take away the bell curve, plus the cohort is small (abt 250), so everyone knows each other after awhile. our facis were ppl who stayed bonded throughout their one year in IS after meta camp, and they wanted to pass down the same thing to us.
also i was able to click with the other freshies a lot faster. all the IS guys are just able to talk to each other, compared to all the other business peeps i've met, even if we were all abit awkward at first. we skipped all the standard burning bridges and first impression games and instead we played stuff like connect, macdonalds, guess the word and ready, steady tempo go, where everyone gets to participate. got alot of epic moments la, and even though like our group doesn't really win any games, we still enjoyed ourselves alot ^^.
since our facis were so nice we all made them some photo memento with a folded crane containing all our pm's to them. the facis also took a lot of short videos throughout the camp and compiled it into a 6 min video. i think only our group got such a thing happening so we all very 小 touched and feel special haha.
so yea its been only two days since the camp ended but we already feel quite close and started discussing which mods to bid together as well as eat dinner together cos about half of them taking the java enrichment mod from yesterday to 3 aug. it really feels like SIS is a family cos of this helpful culture they have there.
feeling a little empty cos after having gone through a very eventful 10 days i finally got about 2 weeks of free time before uni starts, and it feels weird to suddenly have nothing to do all over again. having a bit of camp withdrawal, but looking forward to start the new term haha. i know i abit siao since im like looking forward to work, all the assignments, project and tests, but it also seem like i'll be having a lot of fun haha.
so yea all the best to me in uni ^^. bye ~~
too cute
