Cap it with the owl

Today, I turned 18.

I had lunch with my friends. I had pizza for dinner with my family. I had a 1.5 hour nap. I had received wishes from my friends. It was a smooth day. 

I don't ask for anything more. This is good enough. Good enough for me.

Above all, today reminded me of last year's today. Where my friends got together and gave me that deck of birthday cards and other gifts. My Friends. I miss them so much. Except for Soon Ming, I just saw him today. 

It's really overwhelming how time flies. I still remember the days we went to Bambino and LeCurry to have lunch. I still remember the Mac and Cheese and Ham and Cheese Sandwich. Days when we just went to school and talk nonsense all day long are still stuck within my memory. Days when we studied like hell for spm. I could remember the whole orientation of our class. How everyone looked in their uniforms. Even the holes in the ground. And how Siang poured water into it to make it even worse.

It is the stupid things in life that we remember the most. Thank you all. With love. =)

Four for four

My results for the 1st semester were out on Malaysia Day. Which more importantly was David Copperfield's birthday. Which more importantly was a holiday.

It would be a pretentious lie to say that I didn't score well. 4.0/4.0. Although I did not get AD for every module, I'm way satisfied with what I received.





Yeap. Could ask for nothing more. And it is true that for every AD I acquire Ngee Ann will reward me with 50SGD. So now I'm more or less RM500 richer. True motivation for all to study hard and score. Hee.

Better keep this up for this will determine my chances of getting scholarships next year. Look forward to next semester's modules, circuit analysis, strength of materials, object-oriented programming and all that.

And still, u nuaa tiy ai.

The tea not the fish

DA XI GUA!

So so so. NRA Freshie Camp was mad dope! Big ups to all GL's and the call-me-tea. You guys did an excellent job in making this camp a huge success.

We bonded. We played. We suffered. We learnt. We had fun.

Day 1.

Was feeling kinda unsure of how the day would go. Mainly cause I don't know many people there and kinda worried that I'll not be able to clique. You know. Still got to school early and reported on time anyway.

That's when I met KOI. Groups were named after bubble tea brands you see. Seriously I do not know that many existed. Andin KOI we have... Serene, Amirul, Daniel, Shihui, Crystalbel, Rio, Chloe and me! Of course with Wilson, Fifi, Qiao Ling and Daryl as our group leaders. Awesome dancers, awesome people.

First, we broke the ice. Blow wind blow, Splat, The food-hand-sign game which I sucked at etc. Really fun. 2 hours into the camp and our shirts' were all dripping with sweat.


Blow wind blowwwwwwwwwww

Then hmm we had our make up session! WOOTS. For the girls that is. I would say I learnt a lot but the biggest challenge is to stay conscious throughout. I'm not sure if it's Venus but sometimes I do think that girls are from a different planet. Guys are from Earth no questions asked.

Then we got to learn part of our choreo. Song was Poppin' by Rico Love. Learnt the first eight choreographed by Daryl. Loved it. Theme was cool, chill and SWAG. Apparently Rio's our swaggaboy! At night we did amazing race. Terribly tiring. Especially that inner thigh muscle training. I could literally count the drops of sweat as they drip onto the floor tiles.

Good night at 2am.

Day 2.

PHYSICAL TRAINING. Straight up we all woke up at 5am. Prepped ourselves and gathered at the running track. Full on 2 hours plus of pure torture. We had to run more than 3km, pushed every muscle and every single nerve to push every muscle. All the way PUSH PUSH PUSH.

Then finally we had breakfast. Hot milo and bread never tasted better. We even had a choice of Nutella, peanut butter or jam. Not bad eh. Though three days of the same thing for breakfast and supper. Not such a fresh idea. Haha still loved it though.

Um I think we then continued choreography. This time by Wilson and Fifi. Swag, more swag. We then worked on formations. Things are looking pretty good. Then we had a three session class by Ore, Sophan and Ben. MY FAVOURITE TIME OF THE CAMP.


Satisfaction


Ore teaching us isolations and basic animating. Really, really dope. Jaws dropped when he did ticking. My first time seeing it live.


Play that funky music


Sophan teaching us locking! Funk and rhythm for life. Uncle sam point, roach, air guitar. Just so I don't forget. Locking's so much more fun that I thought.


Hip hop is dead


Ben going over basic toprock and six steps. Had loads of fun. Funny instructor. Enjoyed his class a lot.

Chloe had major headache and Crystalbel injury relapsed so they had to book out from the camp. We will miss you. And then and then. We played more bonding games. Two groups are paired together to compete against each other. But of course, we collab cause we're smart people. Kinda felt bad for the game leaders though for having such an anti-competitive pair. Drawing every game is no easy task.


Koitease


Then in the evening it's ICE BLENDED NIGHT. Space jump, parody dance battle with chase-around-the-tree tamil battle music, and all the September babies' were called out. Had we even a cake. Shweet.


Virgo and Libra

We then practised our choreo and new formation till about 1.15am. All the other groups were still practising then. We were the first to go to bed. All the others only started sleeping at around 2.30am I think. Some even later.


DAY 3. FINALE.

We woke up at 5 as usual. All the other groups were still sleeping. Haha. We quickly washed up and continued mugging choreo. I didn't had the chance to shower. Don't care.

Quick breakfast. More choreo. Running. Out. Of. Time.

Finally it's time for showcase. Did make up and it's show time. We were the 6th group to perform. We all got to the front and started poppin', chillin', swaggin'. We all tried to keep it clean and together. All nervous and stuff but we got through it. =)

Then the judges had their showcase. Dope dope and more dope. Then even a popping battle between Sophan and Timothy. Also my first live one. Ochado won the best performance. We got the earliest group award. Haha. Well there were most horny and hungry groups as well. We were alright.


KOI =)


Break camp!

Bubble tea never tasted sweeter


Really wish to have more fun in future dance classes and meet more awesome people.

A1 + A2 + A3 + A4 = NRA
