Each of this points should have received a post on its own (except those on projects), but I’m just going to lump everything into one post here.

So the weekend right after my CTs, it was BFS facil camp. It was really fun at night with the spamming of smses. HAHA. Overall not much comments for the camp.

The camp ended on Sunday, but I stayed on cos the imBAS camp was up next. imBAS camp officially started on Monday (15th) but the CAs were there on Sunday for some preparations.

This was a really imba imBAS camp.

It was really a new experience even for me. I think some of the stuff that we make them do really made sense and had its purpose. Hoped every participant caught the purpose.

And since I enjoyed last year’s MSA race so much, I just had to made sure that I have a team to tag along on their imBAS race!

That’s about all for imBAS camp I guess. I just don’t know how to continue. haha.

Fast forward to two days after the end of the camp, and it’s Friday! Received a kinda last minute sms from Xian Kai asking for an outing to Singapore Flyer. And of course I want to go la! Never go before.

And what’s more, it’s only $10 for students.

And these lovely people surprised me with an early birthday celebration!

5166_92122083410_691838410_2190713_1287735_n

And they got me a new wallet as well cos my old one was kinda… erm… seasoned.

All smiles :D :D :D I really liked this photo. So many people showing teeth.

And so my Singapore Flyer virgin experience was given to this group of people.

I got a photo collage as well! It really showed the number of different hairstyles I’ve kept over the past year. It’s really diverse.

A special thanks to Charissa! :D

It was another birthday celebration in disguise. But somehow the cat got let out of the bag when I tagged along to buy drinks and stuff with the organisers. hahaha. The effort is still appreciated!!!

Got caked smashed and dunked into the sea. Kinda standard right? Thanks!

And at around midnight on my birthday, the usuals came to my house to surprise me! Sadly, no pictures were taken, but it will remain in my memory. Awwww. haha. And they brought the nicest cake as well. :)

On to my actual birthday now…

Got bluffed by the CAs early in the morning to travel to school for another round of celebration. They said it was for some budget thing which I had to sign. And when I reached school, they brought out a cake and a foolscap asking me to acknowledge that it’s my birthday today?! But it was really nice and appreciated. And I got a ride to Clarke Quay for the highlight of the day.

Cheryl Ee had this great plan to blindfold me and wanted to trick me to the Gmax reverse bungee. I guess I was too smart for it. Haha. But thank you very much cos I really wanted to try the ride out! :D

She didn’t know that the ride needed two people on it at one time to balance the weight, and she didn’t dare to go on the ride, so she got Mannan to accompany me! LOL.

Really cool thing. The video of the ride is up on facebook so you’ll just have to go search for it. More photos are also up on facebook. And if you haven’t got facebook, it’s about time!

And one of my remaining two “tasks” was to carry this really gay balloon and ask two strangers to take a photo with me at Citylink.

4955_112637977462_597587462_2806005_1798406_n

Another one was to carry this big board and walk around Dhoby Ghaut. I almost hooked up two angmo girls with this but they had to rush to somewhere. So sad :(

4955_112637957462_597587462_2806001_1179524_n

So the next best thing I got was to hook up with these two guys. HAHAHAHAHA.

Had society meeting the next day to discuss about the various events that we’re gonna have this year. And along with it was a post-birthday celebration. They gave me this jar with two of my photos, folded stars and their wishes. I think it’s really pleasant and meaningful.

Leonard jio-ed to go watch Transformers after the meeting and so I went.

Thursday was reserved for helping out with Evon’s amazing race. In the end, I think she got more helpers than she needed. All I did was slack around the whole day. haha. And at night, it was Transformers again with the usuals. I think I understood the storyline better the second time.

Friday… Actual BFS camp!

I think the most fun part of the camp was mudhill… Cos it was my station :D :D :D The other parts were still okay.

Even though there was no nightwalk, what happened on the second night more than made up for it. Although it was quite happening, I wished that it wouldn’t happen again in any of the camps that I’m going to attend.

Yep, that’s all on how I spent my day out everyday during the two weeks break.

School started today, and it’s projects galore! Keep following me on twitter for more small updates! :D

This post is all about food

Went to Juju Hot Pot at PoMo yesterday after the last paper on Jia Huey’s recommendation.

The portions are HUGE. Seriously! Take a look at the group pic to compare the serving size.

And there’s greater news! Udders is opening a new branch near Beauty World! I swear I’m going to jio more people to go eat ice cream there once it’s open on July 1st!

:D :D :D

Late nights

It’s certainly not easy being Yr 3. FIVE common tests and FIVE projects this semester. And FOUR exams. The last time I had four exams was in Year 1.

MFS quiz on Monday was pretty much a goner for everyone. A bit biased to those who presented on that topic ah.

Investments today… Oh well. What can I say? It’s the perfect example of how irrelevant MCQs can get to what is supposed to be tested.

At least there’s time for me to study for the remaining three next week. I just hope that the 0809 peeps don’t go out till after 3AM for the two consecutive nights. And btw, pictures for the two nights will be up on fb by Thursday okay =)

Oh, I also just can’t wait for the camps that are going to happen right after exams. Since when have I liked camps so much? 2 BFS camps and Society camp. Add on the projects, and the break is pretty much burnt.

Finally, just giving a plug to The Shareen & Joe Show. Used to listen to them in the mornings on Power98 until recently. Well, the podcast concept is better in a sense that there’s no ads. HAHA. But you’ll get lost after awhile if you don’t download and listen to the podcasts almost every day.
