Samba Camp + MISC

HI THEREE. I'm back yay!! Gonna talk about Samba Camp and some random stuff haha. Though i'm not as consistent as i used to be, i'm still glad that i'm making an effort to blog once in awhile :) September was zzz lol only 3 posts :( October shall have more than 3 posts!! 

Samba Camp

Samba Camp was really fun!! :) My only disappointment was that my section didn't get to htht on the second night :( I was really looking forward to it but everyone was just too tired and went straight to sleep haha. OH WELL. Nvm we'll have other opportunities :)

Day 1: Facepaint workshop!! I was quite a noob at face-painting but i tried my best haha. Here's Ellice and I!

Section photo with some of the seniors :)

And just us :D

My camp group! Group 6 haha. They're all really nice!! :) THANKFUL HAHA. 

EGM! It's this annual meeting that we have every year haha. So every year there's a theme and we had to dress according to the theme! Our section picked Peter Pan :D We were damn on point haha. Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy and Tiger Lily were the most on point sia (thumbs up). Sadly i was just one of the lost boys cause i was too lazy to dress as other characters hahaha. 

The first part was really serious and boring haha cause our prez had to read out all the rules :O So sad haha but yeah i guess we understood the need for it. 

Juniors' initiation! We had to go up when they called our section then hit our instrument once hahaha. Then our seniors would apply face paint on us :P It was kinda weird but in a funny and interesting way haha.

Section pic with the pretty back drop!!

Day 2

SHIRT-CUTTING WORKSHOP. My scissors were so crappy omg i ended up borrowing Nic and Ellice's scissors haha. Chose not to cut the sleeves off cause i don't wanna feel insecure during performances :P Haha maybe next year i'll change my mind about it who knows. But yeah overall quite happy with the result!! :D

Then we had random activities including station games, body percussion workshop and special prac! We had normal prac for two hours first haha. I was happy to play my bell :D Then we had special prac! So everyone gets allocated to a diff instrument and the seniors will teach us how to play Reggae on our 'new' instrument! So cool haha. I got timbals! Honestly i think it's a v cool instrument but i was too tired that day to really put in effort into playing it :( And my hands were hurting so badly omg :P Haha oh well. It was still interesting :)

Then my section went to have thai food for dinner :D IT WAS SO GOOD HEHE. That was our first section dinner aww. Like with the seniors haha.

Before night games if i rmb correctly! The night games were pretty fun haha. I liked the fact that we didn't really have to move about :P Like everything was played within one room haha yayy.

Then my section watched Mean Girls together :D And after the movie everyone just went to sleep. Haha oh well. At least we got sufficient rest for Day 3 :)

Day 3

All that was on our schedule was PHOTOSHOOT!! So we had to prepare by putting on make-up, face paint and getting into our samba outfit (cut-out shirt + black shorts). HEHE IT WAS FUN :D

Credits to Vanessa who helped me do my face paint!! :) I ended up taking the bandana off and braiding my hair instead haha. Felt like the bandana didn't really look good on me :P

OTW TO MBS.

OUR TURN. We had to take a jump shot with the river and buildings as the backdrop!! SO COOL. But it was quite hard to take a nice jump shot haha. The weather sucked so yeah we were like quite sian and all. And the feeling of not being satisfied with your pic is quite shitty :O But yeah although i don't really love my photo is was still alright lah haha. 

Vanessa! It was so much easier for me to capture this pic of her using my iphone :P

After the photoshoot we went to have lunch then came back for a full band photo! :)

SAMBELLES

BELL GIRL SWAG (JK). Haha i look kinda scary here lol.

Selfies with Nic after we got back in sch!! :)

Then my mom picked me up :D And decided to take photos of me hahaha. I was damn tired omg :O I think i just crashed afterwards haha.

Hehe overall camp was really fun and i'm glad that i got to know more people outside of my section :) Still wish that the bell girls got to htht but it's okay lah we'll have other opportunities :)

Can't rmb which day it was but i had dim sum with my Inspirar group!! :) Really missed them haha. Had a really fun night with them :D Daniel drove us around and we had to squeeze like crazy LOL. Hehe the dim sum was really good!! After this we had dessert at Serangoon then i went home by train :) 

LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT MEET-UP :D Oh and Yu Jer helped me buy this new bottle!! It has a flat surface and is A5 haha. SO COOL. 

BOOK OUT YAYY. We had dinner at Genki sushi then watched Pan!! :)

WHY

The sushi this time didn't taste that good :( Oh well haha. 

Pan was alright!! Imo it wasn't that bad but it has negative reviews LOL. And we only found that out when we were in the cinema hahaha.

The following day we had brunch with Ky and Ws at this cafe called The Fabulous Baker Boy!! :) SO GLAD THAT KY CAME HEHE.

It was a really nice place :)

THE CAKES LOOKED SO GOOD. Couldn't stop staring at them haha. 

Ws's birthday was approaching so we prepared a mini surprise for him!! I arrived late LOL haha was supposed to meet Andy and Ky early to get the stuff haha then they ended up just getting everything themselves. They got him a slice of cake + a pullover! And as a joke Andy bought ws a condom....... -.- Haha idk if he will really use it. 

So we waited for damn long and Ws finally came haha. But cause he took damn long we ended up ordering before him hahaha.

Their menu!! I regret ordering eggs ben haha i should've been more experimental :P

GARLIC FRIES WITH TRUFFLE AIOLI. DAMN GOOD :O

And our eggs ben!! Andy Ky and I all ordered eggs ben with spinach HAHAHA. Ugh i regret cause personally i think that the spinach ruins the taste :P

I was eyeing the cakes the entire time so i ended getting this for us to share!! Sadly it was rather disappointing :( Haha but nvm at least i tried lah :P

Then we made an impromptu decision to go to escape room!! :D Went to the one at peace centre which is near SMU haha. And we picked the second hardest room HAHA. Had to solve some mystery about the 12 zodiacs!

Omg it was so much better than the one at OC haha. Like their props and tech is a whole new level :O Haha for the first room there was this fireplace thing, then we activated smth and the fireplace moved to reveal a hole that we had to crawl through :O DAMN COOL. But we were damn shocked and scared when it started moving hahaha. There were 4 rooms in total but we only managed to enter 3! So yeah nevermind haha it's the second hardest room after all :P STIL HAD A LOT OF FUN HEHE. 

Sad faces cause we were unsuccessful haha

Andy and Ws are mean

Then i went to Andy's house to chill and sian i forgot what we did :( I'm not sure if this was the day that we bought lor mee haha. But ya just wanted to bring that up cause i love the lor mee below his house!! SUPER GOOD HEHE.

I had to go to sch for a group meeting so before that Andy and I met for lunch!! I had to buy random stuff and he decided to go cut his hair hahaha. DAMN FUNNY LOL. I was being a creepy gf as usual. And he caught me creepily taking pics of him HAHAHA hence his expression in the second photo :P It was v sushiisashimi worthy so i posted it immediately haha.

Then i got sent to school :D SMU is so near everywhere i'm so glad i chose this sch!!

ANDD being our clingy selves we had to meet again after my meeting hahaha. Then he had to go back to camp :( YEAPP.

And i went to meet my family for dinner at haidilao!! :) YAY it was good. I LOVE THAT PLACE :D

The very next day i had my second VUCA presentation!! :) OUR COLOUR CODE WAS WHITE HAHA. Lol Leon wearing grey :P Haha but yay it went pretty well!! :) I think prof liked it?? HOPEFULLY SHE DID. So proud of us and I honestly hope we get another A+ and ace our final presentation too hahaha. 

Wednesday: Andy fell sick the previous day so he got to go home that night!! So on Wednesday right after my lesson ended i went to visit him haha. Though i was pretty worried about him being sick, i was also glad that we got to spend extra time tgt cause he was on MC haha. Yeahh. Hope he gets used to sergeant life soon! His schedule is quite crappy but it's okay he will pull through (muscle arm).

Afterwards i had dinner with the JC peeps YAYY FINALLY :)) I missed them :') Haha we went to city hall and had Korean food for dinner :D Got to catch up on quite a number of things! :) Gonna have to meet Chow 1-1 for her to go into detail about everything that's happening in her life haha.

Sorry friends ya'll still gorgeous

And group pic outside!! My tummy is showing sorry :O Wish Joey, Nicole and Gid were here!! But it's okay we're all meeting again tmr hehehe.

Then i went to Tiong Bahru Bakery and bought apple crumble!! It made my night and morning so much better. Cause this week i was pretty stressed over school work :O and i kinda lacked sleep again so yeahh. Was really eager for it to end.

Yesterday (Thursday): Had lesson at 8.15 omg and thank God my prof decided to postpone the due date of my assignment!! SOO i ended up going to Andy's house yay he bought lunch for me then i went to nap and slowly work on my assignment afterwards!! I still felt damn tired after my nap but yeah i didn't feel so stressed anymore haha. So yeah quite thankful for that :) Then Andy went to my house for dinner and we had SUKIYAKI :D HEHE SHIOK. Then i intro-ed him to Mean Girls hahaha so we watched like 1/3 of it then he had to book in :( Oh well time passed too quickly but it was a good day :) 

And the week is finally over (sort of) it's FRIDAY YAY. Actually Saturday alr haha. Samba prac ends at 10.30 so yeah i got home at 11ish and now is my time to unwind haha. Spent almost the whole day studying in labs today and omg i felt so trapped hahaha. Probably not gonna go there so early tmr :P Feels weird to be so free on weekends and not meet Andy :/ I guess i shall just focus on work for the next few days!! (muscle arm) Hehe gonna put in my best effort for the rest of the sem!! Okay it's late haha i shall sleep soon. HEHE HOPEFULLY I'LL CYA SOON :D
