Miss me?
Finally I'm back! It's been about 1 1/2 weeks. And now, I'm finally back from my engin camp and bangkok trip. Time past real fast when you are enjoying. Just a blink of an eye, and happy moments are gone.Engin camp (20/6 - 23/6) is fun although the turn out was rather small. I had the most craziest freshies ever. Ha! We had war games, mass dance, SP nights (aka secret pal), counsellors' item, pool games, cheong night at newsroom bar, inter-fac games, beach games, fright night and confidence walk, and freshmen's finale item. Althought I missed the finale part of the camp when the best OG and house is announced, as I have to rush to Lix's birthday dinner treat and packed up my luggage for my bangkok trip, it was still fun!! And you know what? My OG won the best OG and the house my OG is in won the best house!!!
Told you my freshies are the maddest.
Titus, you are the best lah... of course with the amazing leadership of the OGLs, haha one of them is me!!
just joking. just to mention all the counsellors im the group, who are the other ogl mingli, and hua hui and jie jiun did a great job too!!
after my early departure from camp, i met up with lix and gang for her birthday treat (23/6)where she revealed her new beau. quite interesting how you grew up with them and seeing your friends getting attached and how they grew at different stage of their lives. hmmm...
we went home early that night as we need to pack for our bangkok trip the next day. Too bad lix can't join us as she needs to work.
we met on fri morn (24/6) at a crazy time of 6 am at the airport. so there, me, see teng, kim, qiwen, the 2 elvins, and melvin, and zhihui saw each other sleepy eyes. but not all went on that smoothly. as see teng did not extend her passport because the expiry date is less than 6 months from the current date, she is not allowed to board the plane. moreover, she's a malaysian, she could not extend her passport in time to catch a later flight as the extension requires a week for processing. with unwillingness in her eyes, she bid us goodbye.
anyway, we had fun in bangkok bargaining and shopping and sightseeing. here's what we have done for the 5 days.
