What's Next III Fearotical
27th Dec - 30th Dec
Ended.
Thank goodness.
For me, a mentally exhausting camp more than anything else.
And I just realized its been exactly 100 days since the first meeting.

Throughout the camp, experiments were conducted (ON PURPOSE).
Some failed, some passed.
And not all the experiments involve stuff to do with the camp programme.
=)

The company was fun.
My group was great.

SO.
without further delay, photos, naturally.




Riding high.






Eating





Yes yes
Mirror+Girl+Camera.
Typical.






Everyone has their moments.
In this case.
Midori with perfect timing.
Han Bin, with a priceless look.







This is us dominating the bus.
Somehow, Shujuan managed to see I was taking this shot, or maybe there was another camera there.
I swear to you.
People were intimidated when they saw the top deck.
Most went down the stairs witohut bothering to get a seat.







After 5 DAYS, I'd understand this face







Contender for nicest photo from camp.
That's Syafiq







Peaceful gazing, plus pebble bouncing. Bliss







The Quarry







SUPER MACRO =)







Yes.
I was trying to WEB myself across the quarry







I have plenty of 'feel-good' things.
Backpacks; big ones, are one of them.




Conclusion

I've actually come back from camp and gained some stuff

  1. I've become abit more paranoid, though in a better way.
  2. I've become WAY more patient but only ter I get pissed off. Hah
  3. And also, a SLIGHT issue, that may or may not have drawbacks. Oh well.

Oh well, for all my exhaustion and emotional drain (if there's any), I came back home to a new phone and for some very weird reason, money. =)

As usual.
Marked my birthday by doing something heavy the day AFTER.

Went bowling in the afternoon with my best buds Haizq n Khai.
It was my first time.
Yes.
The first.

And naturally. Me being me. I'd do lame stuff.
The first one I bowled flew a few metres in the air and landed in the drain.
Fine.
Good laugh.
I did okay after that.
And then, the inevitable.
I sent my ball into someone elses lane.
Thankfully, it was a drain too.
Embarrassing.
BUT.
Like pool.
The addictive and learn-fast factor kicked in.

After 2 games, we went walking along East Coast from MaCafe to Area F I think it was.
Yes. 3 boys strolling along the beach footpath, talking about old times, and discussing new stuff.

Yeah.
We were sorta discussing-cum-complaining about JC girls.
Not stereotyping
Since the three of us do come from 3 different schools, and use each other's experiences to back up each other's views.

All talked about how each of us learns alot about the opposite gender.
How Haziq learns the quickest cause girls at his school are abit too obvious with their inocuous behaviour.
How Khai exposes himself more to the outside world to learn stuff without seeing the need to indulge in too many vices.
How I, being in this over-femaled place. Well. Kinda obvious how I learn eh.

Talked about hypocritical people.
Boy.
Do we LOVE that topic.
Won't elaborate of course.
The concept of confidentiality is VERY strong among my buds.
(if not among boys)

Saw Hong Soon and Jocelyn on the way.
Camping.
Just the two of them. *hint*

Soon after.
Soccer.
Oh yeah
Adrenaline rush.
I am now officially the BULLDOZER.
Running over other players.
*Self-esteem boosted*

Oh yeah.
Tomorrow is the start of MY what's next.
Getting nervous attacks.
woo

Couples on the train.
As usual, me being my 'observant' self, will observe.

The guy playing PSP. engrossed in it.
The girlfriend. Asking him stuff. Him grunting a yes or no. And returns to his game.
Girlfriend gives up. And leans to the side and closes eyes.

Turns head to another couple.

Guy and girl both have one side of an earpiece in each ear.
Guy shaking his head.
Girl looks bored.
I try to see what's playing.
Turns out its a Britney Spears song.
Who'd have known.

Would I do all this.
Doubt it.
I'd pay attention to my girl.
Not so much as to annoy her of course.

Then again.
Why the heck am I posting such things

_________________________________________________

Now this, I should post more often.

Only when you're sleeping. Can I get a REAL 'candid' photo of you.
Muahahahha

Okay folks.
I've been away for the weekend, over at my favourite island, Pulau Ubin.
Loads of important stuff happening. Especially on the second day.
Well. The trip has basically murdered my senses.
Drinking lousy water.
Bee Sting.
Wild Dogs.
Freezing Night.
Campfire.
I'm feeling nauseous now.



Pre-Ubin.
At Changi V.
Spot my bag(s) =)


Our bumboat. NOT. We took another one. This one just looked nice


Ben&Sam.
Go make some ice-cream guys



Brown water anyone?
I DARE you to drink it.
Bet you don't



Shuxian, Wen Ting, Weilson




My God.
I AM thin.
All that running is killing me. (spot the irony)





Chocolate Chucks anyone?



Well. That was our first day.
Just fun camping.
Walking around the island.
My shoes were the result of clumsiness.
My sleeping bag saved my bum, literally, by sinking into the mud when I fell.
Wonderful.

Lim Cheng Yi. Up Close. He was purifying water


There you go. Purifying water.


During the theory phase.
Me.
Guarding over Shujuan.
'Protecting' her from the sun.
La la la.
The questions you see in the picture are the First-Aid questions, set by ME. Naturally.






Where to get invigilators who sit amongst you and assist you where needed?


I forgot where this was taken.




The OUTWARD BOUND spirit.
Muahah.


That's all for now.
Attachments over.
Ubin Down.
Up next.
Sunlove Camp.
Then What's Next
Man, do I LOVE my club.

Robert Carmine (Rooney) - Vocals
Nick Valensi (Strokes) - Guitar
Andrew 'Whitey' White (Kaiser Chiefs)- Guitar
Carlos D. (Interpol) - Bass
Matt Helders (Arctic Monkeys) - Drums

Go figure out for yourself what the above means.

Today, I lay down on my bed (in semi-fowler's), guitar on my lap, and strummed out at least 20 different chords. For about 20 minutes. Never once looked at what chord I wanted to do next. It sounded nice. Very soothing. Something I'm only capable of doing in my emotionless mood. Wonderful stuff. I should get more of these moments.

Oh yes.
I got the funniest joke yesterday.
About circuit road and short people.
thanks shujuan. really. thanks alot.
I lost a few pounds laughing like an idiot to myself while reading your SMS.
=)

psst. but gained it back eating tons of nasi briyani today.
