Absolut U. Absolutely Chao Ta.

My goodness. Damn shack la. Just came back from Asoc (SMU's Accountancy Society) camp at Costa Sands Sentosa. Thank God that the rain was held back, unlike the previous days. In fact, it was FRICKKIN HOT for both days. Quite funny cos' everybody was visibly much darker/redder than they were when the camp started. Guys wearing singlets all have the embarassing bra-strap marks now. D'oh.

It was pretty much a lot of games and time spent asking about how school's gonna be like for the coming year. What to expect, some pitfalls to avoid, time management, just some of the things we managed to get a clearer picture of from our wonderful facilitators, Geraldine and Xiangyun (No, not Edmund Chen's wife).

Friday evening was spent putting up a skit. All 14 groups, yes 14, had to put up a 8 minute skit based on a fairy tale, and twisting the story in anyway we like. It got quite draggy after a while, although it was quite amusing to see Cinderella degraded to a man dying for a sex change op, or Hansel and Gretel the Beng and Liansters, or how Jack from Jack and the beanstalk abused his mother to get her to lay golden eggs. Amazing what you can come up with in the short time the groups were together.

The tactical warfare game at night got everyone red and bloody with the food dye from the water guns and water bombs. And the scavenger hunt on Saturday afternoon had it's hillarious moments. As one of the items, we had to get a foreign couple to dance around a tree and do some SMU chant. This German couple that was sunbathing when we approached them were so sporting! Quite a sight seeing a few of us and a caucasian couple dancing around the coconut tree chanting 'We're different! We're different!'

Serene, Claire, Lydia, Esther, Ben, Tze Hern, Songjie, Jian Xiong, and of course Geraldine and Xiangyun, thanks lots for the company! Was a hoot, and I guess I'll be seeing you guys a lot more in school.
