Ok, so I'm back from 5 days of FOC. Truth to be told, it was unlike any other orientation/camp I've ever been in before. Like, which camp has OG named after noodles? mee sua, mee kia, mee taimak (wtf is that) and mee pok. And just nice I'm in mee sua, everyone is damn "nua" (eh that rhymes) until like the last 3 days. And which other camp has the seniors ganging up to punk all the freshmen and are so convincing we didn't smell a rat until people started "dying".
In any case it was an interesting camp lah... though my OG was really really very nua. Like the miss universe "i wish for world peace" kind. Only got 4 guys... pretty nice people, standard guys who happen to be older than me. The rest make up your standard OG: the guys sitting together group talking abt guy stuffs, girls and army, the convent girls' group consisting of a bunch of girls who stick to each other all the time, the gossip group consisting of ba gua people and the group who stone all the time and not knowing who or what to talk to/about.
I'm really damn damn lazy to type... so shall not recount the whole camp in any way else. But I guess despite sometimes the camp being slow moving (and truthfully, on the second day I seriously seriously thought about cocking up some excuse to go home) it was pretty interesting when I tried to rah-rah abit (which is unlike me) by taking a massive caffeine intake (4 cans in 1 hour) on day 3 onwards... so I guess that salvaged my memories of this camp.
Like after 5 days, I don't really know all the names... just the faces. Some of them will stick, some will probably turn into "hi-bye" friends. But we will spend 4 years as course mates, and I'm sure that some of us will become great lifelong friends along the way. Yeps.
Anw, i finally realised how much of a legend my sister is in SCI. Like really, legend in the sense like Pele was to soccer and MJ was to bball. Like almost every senior knows. I heard that all the lecturer knows her too. Like I'm really hoping the moniker "Licia's brother" won't stick... it sucks to be referred to as "someone's someone" if you catch my drift.. maybe I'm desperate to be someone special, but aren't we all? So I'm raelly hoping, and praying that I'll be able to do well such that I'd become known in my own right in the eyes of everyone.
And in any case, I've never been to NY. And that forfeit was super duper unfair to me who was klutzing at that time.
I really miss my guitar. I guess I'll ravage it tmr morning when I'm not as sleepy. (that sounds WAY wrong.)

you are my brother but give it sometime you won't be stuck with it already. Nobody will expect you to live to any expectations because I don't think I set one in the first place. In any case, you will realise that the great people will notice that you are an individual and you are not a part of me that falls out of the tree or something. The rest who don't are idiots and probably are too stuck in their research to get their year end bonuses or something. Do you know that NTU is skewed towards that I heard? Research? So don't blame the lecturers too much, because their bonuses depend on it.
