Hall Camp ended and I don't have photos to upload. But I am proud of Apus for winning the best OG award. A bit disheartened for not winning the caring award. Maybe I should have been more open when caring for the welfare of others. Well, it doesn't matter since I didn't do what I did to get such an award.

At first, I didn't want to attend hall camp cause I have unfinished work and my room mate was not in it. Also, the attendance and "high-ness" of my OG was not very good at precamp. Last but not least, I was seriously worried that I would pull down the whole OG during the camp as I am very sure that I am physically the weakest amongst the rest. Look at it this way, the others are all trained in the army and they will somehow have some fitness in them. On the other hand, I was from doing clerical work so how am I able to compare my physical fitness with the others? I am glad that I did not pull the team down due to my lack of physical fitness during the games as well as during amazing race.

Day 1, everybody were still like strangers to each other and there were like small cliques among us. As usual, I tried to keep my profile low because I know that once I start, 2 things will happen. 1. Lameness, 2. Long-winded comments. It did happened cause I became more open at the later part of the camp. It turned out that I was the only 1 who went to research on some landmarks within NTU. Unfortunately, everything I got wasn't useful at all except for the NIE logo which was used during amazing race.
Initiation was dirty cause it's like that every year. lol. A lot of tricks pulled on us. I got a title "Mr Insensitive" cause I was never disturbed by the leaves and other "creepy" props. lol.

Day 2, beach games. Serious sunburn that day and that was also the day I started to open up. I just got the "urge" to start the cheers. So much for being in NPCC. lol.
After that, people start to think that I am not a freshman... Serious sun burn until cannot sit down for 2 days. Not going to talk about the games cause some of it are embarrassing. Should have played the "mahjong" game more because out of the 3 times I went in, I didn't get hit by any water bombs at all. Mini SP date that night also (if I remember the day correctly). I couldn't guess who my SP was. lol.

Day 3 was field games and fright night. Another dirty game in it and there was tug-of-war which I didn't want to join in because I have no confidence in my physical strength. Captain's ball included things like raw chicken (Tommy)...
Then we went to have outdoor laser quest in the afternoon. It's different from the 1 I experienced before and there were pros and cons. Fright night I didn't know exactly who my partner was cause there I got swapped around. Ended with Mei Shian and she was like brave la. like not scared at all. I was like stoning throughout the thing and have slow reaction. I pity the "ghosts" cause they have to keep shouting and screaming. The only shocks I got was the sudden shouting/screaming cause I really hate loud sounds. I pity the meal worms too because they were being stabbed at...
We had heart-to-heart talk session as well and I was quite shocked at an OG mate's answer although it was linked up due to other factors.

Day 4 was SP date and I couldn't guess who my SP was. But my CGL arranged me to move off first and less tekan session cause of my injury. felt quite bad because I was given special attention. We went to mac for breakfast and then have a group movie and lunch. had SP dinner together also before we all split and and return to our OG and back to hall.

Day 5 was dragon race & amazing race and I'm quite proud to say that I managed to last through all despite my lack in physical strength. Everyone supported one another and we managed to get through the whole thing. We had another long HTHT session and was bad because we were chased out by the security cause someone complained. Then we shifted to elsewhere and continued. A lot of fun and laughter but I fell asleep and didn't want to return to my room cause there was air con in that room. lol.

Day 6 we were given all our awards before we break camp. There were awards we didn't knew existed and I was a bit disappointed for not getting the caring pair award. lol. At least we got the best OG award XD.

During the whole camp, I think I did spread some wrong message to some people cause I was acting as though I am not a freshman and was too "caring" to a few perhaps but then that's just me. Maybe just because I am not doing things like what other people would usually do? or perhaps it like what some ppl would do to others? Hopefully things will clear up if not the situation will be odd when we have other hall activities. even now, coordinating events is a hassle... lol.

Want to sleep early to catch back lost sleep so didn't write everything in.
