FOC 2009

Hey. Just came back from Hall Freshman Orientation Camp! It was quite an unexpectedly enjoyable experience. After all, i've never been the extroverted, funloving kinda person. But i really liked my T orientation group, somehow. The seniors Raghu, Eugene and Zuhui were nice and supportive, and the freshies were the most enthusiastic batch in 3 years! Glad i was able to mix well with them. It reminds me of last year's camp. I felt comfortable with these people in hall. So comfortable, that i'd want to run for block manager and let everyone have the same kind of feeling. The feeling of being at home.

Still, it was an exhausting period through and through. From the first day, i started helping the logistics team to carry all the supplies to the lorries. Then i helped out as a station master with honey. It was dreary, cuz the ogs took so long to get to our station. We waited for 3 hours without doing anything! We spent the hours just chatting and playing.. After that we had a briefing and video session for the freshies. Hope they enjoyed the jcrc video i made with jovina haha. Then SP interaction was absolut fun. I went about listening and disturbing the random couples around. Our og's guys mostly had great conversations. Looks like i'm the only one with a bad experience.

The next day was spent at Sentosa. I tagged along as a senior, helping the programmers sometimes. The games were quite fun i thought! Haha i planned one of the games. Our Theron freshies were crazy enthu, cheering loudly all the time! Everyone was so surprised when we lost each game. It always felt like we were winning, cuz our morale was so high. But we had alot of fun, dunking or taopoking seniors haha. I got dunked in water and my hp got damaged :( But it was a cheap one so i'm ok.

More to come next time...

Hols

It's been a while, eh.

What went past?

Reservist with 290SA, now that was a blast. A very cozy reunion with the good ol' platoon mates, lots of fun and laughter. We definitely have a great mix of characters to keep things interesting. Outfield was, well, outfield. Anyway, reservists really have it good. Doesn't make sense to defer and split from the gang.

We're a team.

What else? I'm a full-fledged insurance agent now. Jinghang just closed one deal herself haha. Not sure i can hit the minimum quota to not get fired.

And i fell ill.
