Okay, so i thought camp was on Friday. Silly of me to miss the date in the briefings. Got shocked when Marilyn gave me a call and quickly packed whatever i could. Rushed off to school in a cab. It really sucked as i was having nervous thoughts about what i'd brought. As long as i have my deodorant with me, things are okay i guess.

Was with my other half at that time and the feeling sucked to part with her at that moment in such a panicky way. It's like i want to flee from America to Mexico and i need her to come with me.

Reached and learnt that i was the only guy from outside Nursing. First thing, we were told to sit in our genders and courses (as in, Nursing and not). My row had only me. People laughed, but what to do?! It's funny, so.. Hahahaha.

Then we were grouped up. I was in Group 5, which we named Kueh Bangkit (theme was: treats for CNY or Raya). We slowly learnt about each other and worked together. Cat, the original fearofthedark (sorry for the leg :P) (and it's really okay to do obscene signs coz you were out of tudung, hahaha). Andy, the so-called Cheena Boy who wants to be known as N'dy. Tagged along him most of the time. Sabrina, RG girl who was funny (can't believe you turned one round during the charade; and nobody questioned about it, haha) and immune to embarrassment due to certain topics 'due to her age'. Warric, the typical NS guy or freak, who can breakdance and do acrobatic shiet! He's small built and his muscles buldge like crazy. He did the super wankin' action while hand-standing, can you believe it?! Shida, who was always seeing wheelchairs coming her way according to Andy (i salute you for standing the humidity with tudung!). Hidayah, the quiet yet hardworking girl who helps to laugh at jokes. Liah, the pizza girl who knows some AI-ans and has a simple yet cool personality. Lucy, the petite mother of 2. Bubbly and cute lah she.. She called me her hero you know. Hahah!! Marilyn, my DT mate who 24/7 complained on the food and smell! See you tomorrow. Pei Fen, the sporty girl who kept asking me to remember her name - simply coz i can't seem to remember! And... The other 2 chinese girls who failed to delegate theirselves in tasks for our group (and we're not to keen on them either :P).
Special thanks to Natalie too, our group mentor!

Kueh Bangkit rose from last place to 4th, out of 8 groups. Ironically enough, Bangkit means 'rise' in Malay. I didn't know that. Now i do, thanks to Cat.

Kept thinking about my darla, especially during late nights.

Overall, i think the camp is fun, not because of the activities planned, but because of the people. Made lots of new friends and it scrapped many stereotypes off me. The guys are funny (1, 2, 3, HOoOOoSHHHH). It wasn't as physically demanding or strict as i envisaged but it worked our mentality, anger and patience real good.

That's all i'm gonna spill here, gotta talk to darla now. Happy for her, she scored 97.5% for her C++ and topped the class! She really bangkit after Sem 1 man! Will do the necessary MSN/Friendster addings later on.

Thank you, friends of the camp!
