Supernova: Smashing!

I can say with much sincerity that the SMU Sports Camp is probably one of the most enjoyable camps I've been to in a while! It was really fun with all the sports and games we managed to try out, the company was fantastic (I couldn't have asked for a better group to be in!), and it was undoubtedly very well organised. Even if our organisers claimed there were a few hiccups here and there, it wasn't apparent to any of the campers.

So kudos to the committee and especially our facilitators, Yiling (Eric! in your cell group?!) and Melvin (Jay!). Great job guys! Deborah, En-Ning, Emily, Justin, Desmond, Lemuel, thanks for a great time. =) Only our group would actually go out for a midnight movie and KTV after such a intense day of activities! Onz sia!

Apparently, the budget for this sports camp was pretty big compared to previous camps, so we actually had Pasta Mania catered for lunch and dinner on all 3 days and a mega buffet on the second. A few lucky members from each group (20 groups in all) managed to take a stab at the G-Max Reverse Bungee ride at Clarke Quay, as the finale of the first day's 'Amazing Race'. Fencing, dragonboating, archery, touch rugby, ultimate frisbee, water polo, and some impromptu basketball while waiting for archery at the CC. Melvin 'Mr. Singapore-Nike-Freestyle-Champion' is just simply amazing I tell you. I'm still can't believe it's possible to do all that with the b-ball.

Takashi's Castle was simply hillarious, and so were the stage game shows (more wasabi sandwiches joyce? =)). It beats having every group coming up with a item. Half the time groups will just end up singing songs.

The whole camp gave me a good sense of what SMU is all about, and I'm really encouraged. Student opinion seems highly regarded from what I'm hearing and it's just so encouraging to hear from seniors that everyone is really proud to be part of the school.

SMUve this Saturday. We're moving to the city!
