Just came back from LSE's freshers camp which was also known as FCUK... it wasn't bad... but I wouldn't say it was fantastic either. I won't say its a camp, more of like a chalet with ocassional amazing races and telematches thrown in.

At the start, there was a pathetic number of people, like equal number of juniors and seniors. Then, we started playing some games and stuff and split up into OGs. The people seems generally rather nice at first.

However, the weather kinda sucked and rained all the time. (Preview of London weather?) We pretty much couldn't do anything except sit around, watch TV... some started playing mahjong while the rest of us played cards... then more people started going home... like WTH do you come for camp if you intend to go home and sleep every night.

It was pretty boring for most of us actually, in the end we decided to sleep at like one which is pretty unusual for a chalet or camp i guess. We were supposed to sleep according to OGs but my OG was left with like me and this guy...-_-''' so these two girls Yanmin and Si Chen came to bunk with me and we pretty much kicked the guy Kaiwen I think was his name to the next room. Actually we didn't really sleep. Just more of flipped here and there the entire night.

The next day we went to Sentosa. That I felt was much more campish. We played the usual dog and bone, Tarzan and Jane games... then we had amazing race. I think it was more of like amazingly slow race. Our group took our own sweet time to figure clues and we strolled like every where... and we came in first?!?!?!??!

After that, we went back to clean up and had a barbeque... lotsa people came... no idea who many were but I guess they were other seniors. More seniors than juniors even. Initially we played mahjong and we kinda just walked around and chit chat with some people. Many of the girls went home like at ten plus eleven which I thought was really.... unsporting? I don't really know.

I wanted to stay on, I mean, isn't the last night of camp supposed to be more fun? So I stayed anyway even though it was abit awkward because for a first in a very long time I was kinda like outta the cliques. There was the VJ clique of Sin Ae and Valerie and then there was the RJ clique whom and there was me. Right.

But it was okay... we pretty much played group games like indian poker, then we went to the beach and played 'I never...', quite interesting some of the things that come out of your mouth in the game. Haha.

Later on... we went back and pretty much mahjonged till dawn. By six... i couldn't take it and like pretty much collapsed.

On the way back I shared cab with two of the seniors who stayed near Tanah Merah... I somehow feel that I can click with the senior batch more than our own... I couldn't really stand the few girls who were kinda flirty and they all seemed kinda cliquish that I sorta gave up trying to squeeze in. But the seniors are much easier to talk to... or maybe they make more effort? *Shrugs*

Back in a greyish mood about going to London...Crap!

This national day as usual, we had a mini gathering at my house. Somehow, the gatherings are getting more and more pathetic. The original plan was to meet up at Riveredge and watch fireworks. However, since the turnout was pathetic, we changed it to my house and combined it with my dad's gathering with his university friends.

Thankfully, we managed to have a fabulous time. I mean... when the four of us gets together, when do we not have a fantastic time? Poor Jason and Jia Min were kinda left out though cause we had this awful lot to catch up and just talked non- stop the entire night.

We decided to remake our lemon soda from THAF Family Day using nicer glasses and look how great it turned out. Doesn't it just make you feel like taking a slurp and going "ahh..."

Aiwen was totally high on lemon soda and went about with her dramatic and hilarious stories about her new hall life. Just do hope that mine will be as exciting in time to come.

At around seven, my dad's friends started streaming in the house. Little Sheena immediately became super attached to Qiqi. Like a always say, Qiqi has a flair for attracting naughty kids.

Little Sheena looks absolutely adorable with her huge eyes and long lashes, but I'm afraid she's starting to be abit of the devil. Using her stupid National Day flag to hit adults on the head, running all about and rolling her eyes at me when i reprimand her, isn't that a bit too much for a six year old kid?

Or maybe its an occupational hazard that makes me wanna take kids in hand when I see them slightly out of line. Haha.

Jia Min makes a rare move by deciding to join our gathering. (Without nigel!) I think i'll miss her terribly too when I leave.

We had a unique cajun dinner in which each of my parents' friends brought a little contribution. It was quite delicious and something different for my friends but I think everyone enjoyed it. (Except the fish, it was like coated entirely in salt.)

Everyone digging into Aiwen's Winnie the Pooh fondue pot as dessert after dinner. Who doesn't love chocolate.

We had green apple, banana, marshmallows and this biscuit stick thingy which we could dip in chocolate like the Yamyam thing we used to eat as kids. Surprisingly, those under fifteen doesn't know what Yamyam is. Generation gap?

Wenhui posing with her chocolate stick. Everyone looks absolutely high on chocolate.

Jia Min prefers marshmallows and Sheena seems to be looking on enviously...

Posers! The minute I flash my camera all of them squeeze into line of shot.

Qiqi with Uncle Yeo's daughter. She's a little... weird as well. She she kinda looks like Rachel Lee. Haha.

See... Qiqi can just get along with all the irritating kids, she says she feels for them when they are rejected by other kids and adults...

which explains the existence of stalkers like Jieliang...

Anyways... later on that night we went to the playground to play with the swings (A hobby of me and aiwen. We used to go to the playground near her house after school and compete to see who can swing higher. We competed in like everything. And turned out best friends. Ironic isn't it?)

Then we decided to HTHT (Heart to heart talk), a new university lingo that they have adopted. But it was kinda weird because Jason was there. He always seems to be the only guy with a huge gang of girls. Really happy for all of them, who seem to have found new eye- candies or new prospects.

I don't know what I will do without all these regular chitchat sessions with the girls. (Probably die from bottling up everything inside me. Haha.)
