social science camp 2008 -- V
so it's all finally over, after 4 nights, 3 days, 2 mock camps, 1 retreat later. and we all thought it would never end. but it finally did, so that's somewhat not the point of this post. and since i can't be all wax lyrical at 1am in the morning, 2 days after camp's already ended, i shall once again, make the dangerous decent into narrative and rambling garbarra.
so camp for all the faci's started with the extra night and the faci-subcomm dinner, which was darn expensive pizza of lousy quality. but it was really the company that really mattered i guess. for one, since when has subcomm and faci eaten together. and it was probably the final time of only faci and subcomm around school in fbt shorts and t shirts. so dinner was important. then came the highlight of the night: TAO HUAY!!! joy upon joy, it was a serious mass tao-paoing session. it was INSANE i tell you. i can't even remember the numbers already. but thank goodness for volleyball's car, which was packed with tao huay on the way back to school haha. and then some people started watching some really gross movie, so horrifying it didn't need sound to freak 5 year old bambam out. and for once, in a rare moment, it was a silent, non-teeth grinding night, because pascal couldn't sleep FWAHAHAHA
morning of day 1 came, and it was time to meet the freshies! i think one amazing thing i saw was how easily everyone gelled together. they all just started talking (i didn't even have to start a TIU TIU TIU game okay). maybe it was the pre-camp dinner, but people who didn't go for it were cool too (: from TIU TIU TIU, to captain's coming, the banana dance, and kaching, i think i can easily say, by lunch everyone pretty much was bond-ed, to poke a pun haha.
then came the running all around station games, complete with iron chef, and my favourite, the CATWALK at the kopitiam! haha. the outfits looked so much better, compared to the nonsense we came up with during mock camp haha. post dinner was even better, where i went off to play bridge / get kidnapped, and the clowns had to guess me by the toes haha. but it was fun stuff (:
then came day 2's damn shiong amazing race! memorable moments include the anti-jaywalking song, the museum's aircon vents, the SUPER worms, squatting on the beach with a bucket on my head, and of course, my first SMU jump! :D haha. night was even better, where the greatest motivation was the BATHS, and the camwhoring session at the end of everything. and who can forget, the MASSIVE karaoke session, where we found out samuel's secret talent of memorizing every single line of lyrics. i cannot wait to post the video on facebook hahaha. and of course, 3am suppers, and laughing at leoTARDED's antics / sleep talk until 5.30am haha.
final day started off hilarious, with the faci's being absolute camwhores who taupok each other in the attempt to get into the photo haha. and of course, the relay with the all-time favourite sleeping bag race :D then it got messy with us protecting V, then proceeding to taupok him and rolling miliman around in the mud as well haha. and the last night atas dinner was even better, with lots of talents sprouting, and mambo at the end in front of a glass window where everyone could be seen from the bus and the museum across the road haha. and of course the PANTYHOSE WARRRRRS!!! haha
so ends another chapter in my smu life, and one i really really really enjoyed. not only the fun, the camwhoring. but also the company, and the really great friends i got to make and got to know better. I LOVE SOCIAL SCIENCE. you guys are an amazing bunch, and i haven't had this much fun in ages (: even today's post camp lunch hasn't lost it's flavour. and i foresee, the group's going to be together for a long while. the way my group stayed the same (:
on a side note, lunch today was great, seeing all the familiar faces and being TIU TIU TIU-ed to death again -.- dark knight was superb as well, worth the money that i paid for it.
and now that TIU TIU TIU girl has become a household name (like that was the initial goal of the entire thing in the first place =x) and camp's over (like i wanted it to end haha), i face the reality waiting at that place that i stepped in. as well as meeting tons of people for lunch.
i can't wait for school to start.
keep my heart upon Your altar.
Give me strength to cross this water,
keep my feet don't let me falter.
