SO I won’t forget these memories next timeJ Yeah okay I just gotta say… CAP was really not what I had expected it to be, man was I surprised. It was really fun!!!!! J
DAY 01:
Check in to Prince George’s Park Residences at NUS!!! J
Hahahaha I was so scared I was late. Actually I was. And I was already taking a taxi wth! Stupid uncle drove so slowly. Then he cheated me leh! I asked him whether I could be there by 9 he said yes. At 9 we were still crawling along the road. Somewhere. Albeit nearby, but still-.-. hahahahaha yeah I was damn stressed ‘cos I’m always late!!!!! And they were already stressing about being punctual and you know I’m always late no matter how hard I try for some dumbass kickass unfathomable reason-.- how idiotic. Yeah so anyway, so I reached there, hhahahahaha and then got my keys and lugged my bag down to the auditorium. Hahahahahaha I tell you my stupid Snames bag was so heavy okay! Cos that Alethea la! Tell me to bring so many clothes!!!! HAHAHAHAH I had so many leftover shirts and stuff la XD auntie Alethea XD
Hahahaahahaahha okay so went there, got forms, saw Qiao Xi and Wu You and signed the forms, lugged my bag back upstairs and was escorted by a very kind councilor to our VERY FAR AWAY dorms! J hahahahaha I remember feeling so sian cos I didn’t know how to get round or anything. Haha and I was thinking: omg hurry where is it?! My hand is going to break already. JJ
And there was a small hole in one of the side pockets of my bag XDXDXDXD I bet you can imagine what I was thinking. Yes I was scared it might rip okay! WHAT!
So we finally got to our rooms. J Yeah we got our own rooms leh! So cool right! But a bit lonely. Also. And scary. At night. Haha XD okay so anyway! After lazing round for like 5 mins I decided to go back down to the audi cos I thought I heard instructions like that. So back at the audi. Met Eleanor and she told us ALL to get our homework lalalalalala. So lame I tell you XD Alethea and Charmaine and Amanda and I ran all the way back to the stupid dorm, where the stupid GATE was jammed so we couldn’t go back in-.- I forget but it was some of us who spoiled it hahahahahah XD what! Stupid gate la! So high tech for what! Everything was dying la! Haha so we ran down, up again and tried all sorts of ways to get in. nothing worked-.- we were sweating like stupid pigs. Like literally. Yeah. So we went back la. Heck. Haha. Though Alethea was so worried idk why-.- this kind of thing nvm one la! JJJJJ must learn from me, the PRO! =D
Heeheeee SO OK then we got our cap notebook with all the details. And I was um. Tootified. Cos I realized I needed a small bag but I was TOO LAZY to pack one-.- nah one of my secrets to bringing a BAG not a suitcase XD (thought wa lao it was damn heavy I think I broke a few bones). Okay so after that, um I forget. Oh OH we had OG games! Hahahahahaahha yeah I met Zioedy, Paige, Sheena and the rest of OG2 FLYJJJJJ
OH and also Rohan hahahahahaha and Kei Nin from RG WHOO!:) k so we played this game where we had categories: shoes, famous people and rohan and kei nin wrote stuff on them then stuck the paper to someone’s back, then the person had to guess! Haha! Um sherah did! They wrote papa smurf. I have no idea who or what that is. So anyway it was quite funJ then we played this game where you went out, the people discussed what action they wanted you to do and when you got closer and closer to doing it, the clapped more and more intensively. Haha! So I went and did with Zioedy. Haha. Ours was to lie down on the floor. Ok la quite funJ yup so after that!
After that was lunch I think. I can’t remember. Yeah. Oh during tea before the whole audi thing haha they served buns and spaghetti and our first CAP HOT MILO =D
Haha ok then I can’t really remember what happened la. I’m gonna have to check the notebook on the schedule. Oh shucks my book is upstairs. Yes im too lazy. Too bad. Oh wait. Its here. Oh yeah ok so after that we went to acsi and its super duper nice campus where we had our first plenary lecture by Lord Puttnam. It was kind of boring, my nose was dying and so was my throat and so I was totally zonked. Haha. I met jodyn, candy and steph there! JJJJJ ok then tea, which had lots of nice food while I guzzled the punch like a pig. Okay haha and then after that we went for another lecture by Mr Lee Thean-Jeen oh yeah and the fire alarm went off erroneously 3 times 3 LEH HAHAHAHAHAHA XD yeah that was funny XD
Haha then after that we had dinner with the 2 Amirahs and Alethea and Charmaine and Amanda. Then that Charmaine and Amanda were so lame hahahahahahaaha they were like talking and talking and talking about Benny HAHA Haha. Then we lazed around outside the acsi auditorium for super long because people were chasing us away from the canteen or something like that and then they didn’t let us into the stupid auditorium-.- HAVE I MENTIONED? ACSI’S CAMPUS IS SO NICE. Okay. Then yeah the opening ceremony. There were readings of poems etc, oh there was a play written by this rijc guy and our councilors like Chu Ting, Greg, Nadia and Ephraim I think acted in it. Haha it was damn greatJ but otherwise, the whole thing was like so boring. I was like totally falling asleep despite valiant attempts not to.
Oh did I mention? We were outside the audi and wanted to browse the books they were selling but they told us not to touch-.- so stupid la omg.
Haha then it was done and we went back and went to sleep! J
DAY 02:
We woke up early cos we had early breakfast. But when we went down to the canteen the breakfast was um nasi lemak with “spoiled rice” according to Damini hahahahahah sat with my og people. Yeah Damini said that coconut rice spoils very easily cos of the c milk. But so fast meh?! Idt so. I think it’s just generally gross, the food they provided for bf for the first 2 days. Ew. Yeah so I just sat there and drank my Styrofoam cup of HOT MILO=D
Then we left for the engineering facultyJ hahahahahaaha yeah I met Hyo LimJ YES ALEX IT’S HYO NOT HUE HAHAHAHAHA=D my “twin” -,- courtesy of alex. Yeah okay the lecture by Aaron Maniam was rather interesting, I guess haha at least we got some stuff to refer to. So even if we tuned out we weren’t sucked into sleep immediately but could still take notes or something J so that was goodJ hahahahahaha yeah then tea, Then after that had a writing workshop with AC by jean tay on playwriting. Yeah ok then lunch. Which was rather ok. Then it was either today or wed that the Benny game resumed-.-
