End Of Camps

Well, Project iConserve camp is finally over, marking the end of all my camps! 2 weeks worth of camps finally over! I have to admit, I'm pretty tired, and I feel so lost at home. I honestly wish that I have more camps next week or something. Maybe because I enjoy just having fun and not worrying about studies and all?

iConserve camp was, honestly speaking, so-so. As in, it doesn't exactly suck, but it isn't awesome either. I quite enjoy irritating my group, who are fun people but unfortunately they are of different school than me. Lemme list all the "cons" of the camp first. First and foremost, is the constant relocating of sleeping location. This is not exactly our fault, because all the rooms are booked. But I liked how I could leave things lying around my area in the seminar room in Asoc camp because we'd be using the room for the entire camp. I like that "homely" feeling. In this camp, I have to ensure that my stuff are mostly still in the bag, prepared to be moved the following day. Another issue I have with the camp is the fact that I need to use my own cash for my meals. I've spent quite a lot in this camp on my meals, but it is quite expected considering the $5 payment for this camp. I also feel that we should have dry-run the games to find ways to make them more fun and interesting. Apart from these, I do not really have much issues with this camp. I love my group, and it kinda sucks to miss the free Singapore Flyer ride.

With the end of camps comes the realization that school is about to start. Now that is a huge bummer. Totally spoils my mood. And bidding starts this Wednesday, and as much as I want need to bid, I kinda dread it. Ah well... at least I get to meet my Asoc group! Woots!

HTHT with Eileen and Hilary and I only have 3 words after our talk: wake up call.

I realize I tend to open up more to girls than to guys. Wonder why? Hmmm...

It's about time to update my Mixpod on my blog!haha

I feel like just watching shows and stone the whole of today after 2 weeks of running around and having fun :)

or so she seems.
This place is overrated,
but it's the place to be.
She never comes alone,
and everyones her friend.
Her home away from home.

Full Throttle

Okay, I'll take some time to blog my weekend!

Saturday was an iConserve meeting, where we get to meet some of the freshmen who decided to join our project! I for one did not expect us to be playing games, and I felt a bit lazy and some sense of dread(?) of playing ice-breaking games. Yet I somehow got so involved in the games I just got carried away and had a lot of fun! Even though I got my nice shirt dirty with camo cream, I definitely enjoyed the entire session!

Sunday was newspaper collection at Teck Whye, which is all the way at Choa Chu Kang area! Sure, it's far, but bus 966 made it convenient. Quite a lot of interesting things happened during the collection. There was one unit which was empty when I peeked through the window. The door itself looked so run-down, I should've guessed that nobody stayed there. But the horrible part was when I looked in, I saw what looked like stains on the floor inside. Took me a while to realize that those "stains" were actually dead cockroaches! And there were so many! Really disturbing sight. At one block I stumbled upon a very young couple(they were younger than me) cuddling and what-not at the staircase. I intentionally walk past them just to interrupt their lovey-dovey time. Evil me.haha Walked around until my legs were at the brink of giving way. It was tiring, but rather fulfilling!

Yesterday I went to school to study and help to roll the newspapers for our large newspaper house! I got a sudden idea about making a video, and decided to work on it yesterday evening. The thing is, there will be CSP talks today and tomorrow, so I wanted the video up by last night to be shown today. So I spent around 5 hours to complete the video(technically I waited around an hour just to get the photos). If you haven't seen it, do check it out on Youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRNYwCa8iIE

I recently started watching an anime called Usagi Drop, which turns out to originally be a manga. In fact a movie adaptation is coming out this year based on the manga. Before you all scream "chibi" and what-not, let me say that I'm watching it because it's simply magnificent. The storyline is rather simple yet interesting, and the characters behave in ways you can relate to in real life. The visual of the anime is drawn and colored rather nicely too. I can see why they want to make this into a real life movie, even though all I've watched is one episode. It looks like a very plain yet heartwarming anime.
