jus a little note before the start of this post: i too lazy to find another blogskin for the moment and my tagboard has been replaced by the comments option at the end of every post (:jojo is back from ARTS CAMP 2009!
when i said that i was tired during ARTS CAMP 2008, it was small fry compared to this year ARTS CAMP! i think i pushed my limits even further than pre camp! 2 hours of sleep a day minus the 2nd day was pretty draining! but we still pulled through in the end! (: go ocomm!
day zeroheaded back to sch after the mediacorp course! not much logistics to do since my programmes were on day 2 and day 4. after ocomm briefing, we celebrated alpheus 1 year old bithday! (: uncle chong bought this super nicee greentea with red bean cake from breadtalk. i got to know another 2 councillors from anchor the new og and we went to bathe together at eusoff hall! another 2 frens made (: yay!
day onei was doing registration for the freshies and councillors and i had to wear the N95 mask! whoo hoo! it was so difficult to breathe in the mask! in the end, half way through registration, i jus took off the mask! :p
i was station ICs for campus tours and night games!
Campus tour i was the station IC for
Telematch and boy was it a tiring station cause we had to run up and down with the freshies! i really pity shichen who was the log personnel attached to this station! he had to refill a lot of buckets of water for us! (: we were using BA WANG shampoo to make the canvas sheet slippery and shi chen was complaining why we were using such expensive shampooo when he had to steal shampoo from eusoff hall! :D
night games was da bomb! the station that i totally enjoyed! :D DANDRUFF NO MORE! freshies had to shampoo their hair and trasfer the foam to another freshie's body! totally hilarous! but this was the station that i lost my voice despite having a loud hailer! whoo hoo! i found my loud hailer buddy: daisy! :D she rocks mans! she was jus holding the problematic loud hailer for me for at least 5 rotations! yay!
day 2
my very first program! PROJECT SHOOT IT! there were a total of 5 locations this year: IKEA, IMM, Holland V, Clementi and West Coast Plaza. I took charge IKEA and Holland V while desmond took charge of Clementi, IMM and West Coast Plaza! we went out with A and R house to survery the stations and made sure everything was alright. there was some hiccups at IKEA but we managed to settle it in the end! when T and S house went out for PSI too, the both of us totally relaxed liao! :D
we sneaked a few winks in the clubroom! den me, ming guang, yi heng and desmond went out to 'patrol' but in actual fact we were having fun outside! whahahah! we went to west coast plaza for chicken rice (desmond treat! :p) and then later to IMM for ice cream crepe! but alas! the crepe was out of stock! saddened! i mus clarify that we did went to the respective stations to visit our station ICs de los! :D
station IC for POI! 20 rotations almost killed me! had a splitting headache pus an emo breakdown that night. felt super guilty cause really i wasnt the most tired one ard but i thank everyone who offered a word of comfort/encouragement (: special thanks to zhijun my dearest da ban jie who accompanied me back to eusoff hall and chop toiletcubicle for me to bathe (:
day 3
beach day station IC! BITE MY APPLE! a station that involved a lot of biscuit biting and leopard crawling! this station needed a lot of manpower since the poles kept dropping! and again shi chen was the logger who helped me for this station! haha!
the weather was not merciful that day! when we finished the rotations for beach games, it started raining! ): when the rain became a drizzle, we carried on with mass games and tug of war! this time i was the balloon woman for S house! in charge of as the name suggests giving out balloons to S house! :D yay! A house won the first round of tug of war! (:
SP revealation was cancelled due to the rain! sigh! so we all headed back to school early where a hot shower was the bestest thing on earth!
day 4
SPORTS DAY! (: my 2nd program! the sun was back and sports day really went smoothly! (: cheerios to my fellow programmer SHIRU for a good job done! (: really glad that the freshies enjoyed sports day and there was good feedback from the ground (: a big thankyews to all my stations ICs (:
sorry ar but let me zi lian a bit! i mus say i like holding the mike and talking in front of the camp! whahahahaha! opps!
pre war was unfortunately cancelled due to some admin matters and we carried on with war games at the basketball courts! was a internal refree this time and again i enjoyed blowing whistle at the freshies! whahahahaha! :D
clubbing at night! was pulled onto the dance floor and i think i was jus some suay ku standing there like a block of wood cause i really dunno how to dance! :s record number of drunkard freshies this year! as coded from somebody 'a lot of upskirt and down blouse' this year!
day 5
break camp break camp! house ICs had their tear jerking speeches and we had the circle of friendship where we had to go ard shaking everyone's hand but eusoff hall the function hall was too small and in the end we had to form 4 small circles instead of 1 big circle!
ocomm had our own htht session and there were a lot of emo people crying! i was def one of them! :D but yea i really agree with what some people said its 53 friends gained! and there was really this ever helping, selfless spirit! i feel proud to be part of the ARTS CAMP 2009 OCOMM! ((:
