Just got back from FTB run 3 ytd. i have to say that it totally exceeded my expectations triple folds. haha. i actually went there thinking it was gonna suck la. i mean think abt it, it was at OBS and we're not gonna use the facilities AND it was problem-solving games(think planning and execution) that inculcates integrity, teamwork etc. i mean anything compulsory cant be that good rite?
But thank god my grp rocks! haha. i totally think it was the grp mates and our dear faci, sheena, that made the camp a blast. and it was sheena that indirectly brought our grp closer. it was a long story where by we had this game that involved walking thru hoola hoops without touching it while having all our legs binded to one another by rope. each time we touched we had to restart. after a few failed attempts we decided to keep quiet when we touched the hoops so as to complete the task. then sheena became qt disapointed in us cos we didnt have integrity. so in the end, we decided to do it again to "make sheena happy". in the end, "make sheena happy" became our grp's motto and we had a lot of fun doing it, hahaha.
We werent like doing things for the sake of her la. we wanted to play the games well but everytime we'll just make a joke outta it by saying "aiyah, make sheena happy rite?" haha, that was super funny. and we played lotsa silly games while waiting ard too, like YeeHa, polar bear and murderer. murderer was best. we played it over 3 days. in which ben and i who were not the murderers keep stirring shit among our grp that we "killed" off more ppl than the murderers actually did. that part was the funniest man, haha. it was super duper fun haha.
So actually FTB was not that bad afterall :) We had tunnelling and rafting which was pretty fun. i was actually very hands on during rafting, tying the knots and constructing the raft. i didnt know i cld actually tie knots haha. and our raft was the best la, made it out the furthest too! but still didnt touch the objective cos of the 1metre high waves. sea was too choppy! i felt like i was on the "crazy bull" ride haha. we had final challenge on the last day which was damn shag. running ard east coast holding hands with one another and completing tasks. a pity that my section, retro groovers, lost by 3 mins. we actually won by 2 mins but the other grp cld minus 5 mins cos of their power card they had. so we lost by 3 mins. what a waste la! damn!
My grp went to eat after the camp. think we were the only grp. even sheena came. qt glad we managed to click so well. will be gg for convocation and freshman bash with them. hopefully our friendships wld go beyond these stuff. heard some grps actually just lost contact from there.
Met up with my sports camp grp today. went to denise's hse for pizza and watched Disturbia. QX was super scared la cos it was a horror show. and he's a guy. kept covering his eyes with the pillow. super funny haha! nice meeting up with them tho some ppl cldnt make it. celebrated denise's and deborah's bday for them. white chocolate macadamia from secret recipe!
Went to the SMU gym today too. nice place but qt crowded. a lot of students go there after their interns cos its so near their work place. i watched pck while running la, cos every treadmill has an indiv tv. cool rite? haha...
