HMS FOC
Wednesday, April 15, 2009
Hms foc was awesome, discovered a different side of me and made new friends, experienced new things, did things I normally wouldn't. Although the camp wasnt that good, the people in my grp were fun, and that makes it good enough.
First day...
The camp com introduced himself and asked us to say hi to the person beside us and so I did.Me: Hi, whats your name?
Stranger: Jun Ming
Me: *stunned* What? Jun Ming? Omg, its me Darren! *takes off specs*
Jun Ming: Yea, I thought so.
Me: Why didn't you say hi earlier then? (We actually were walking beside each other on the way to the lecture hall)
Jun Ming: Dunno.
Me: ... Anyway, he was my classmate from primary school. Yea, totally couldn't believe it, finally, someone I knew in NP. Too bad we weren't in the same group though. As we caught up on old times, we spotted something peculiar.Jun Ming: Hey, do you realize there's a whole lot of girls here?
Me: *looks around* Oh shit... Now that you mentioned it, this place is filled with 80 ~ 90% girls.
Jun Ming: Crap, I think we just landed ourselves in a girls school.
It then daunted to us that HMS was a girls school. Somehow its courses are more female inclined I guess. Just like engineering being mostly populated by boys. An interesting fact, JM was from a boys school, and he totally feels out of place. Haha!
So my subgroup had like 10 girls and 3 boys led by 2 female GL's. And one of them is eh... reeeeeeally slow and blur. Cant even trick her because she cannot even understand it. But it adds to the laughter though. We had to prepare a performance for the campfire in less than a day. After an hour of suggestionless brainstorming from the group, we all decided on doing a dance.Next day we travelled round Singapore. We traumatized kids in the library and KFC making them do cheers for us. haha, poor chaps. Having my mind screwed by some guessing games. Joined in a game called "I never" with the group. That was like the ice breaker for the group. To play you are required to tell a lot of things about yourself, weird stuff if you want to win; helps everybody to know each other more. From then, everybody started talking more and our group became more lively.
And throughout the camp, I gained some new identities. Someone mentioned I looked like a towkay's son, because erm, I looked, spoke refinely. Don't you dare even let out a smile. Just with that one comment, everybody went along with her and said I looked like one. and thus i became 'towkay son', in name of course. As amongst the boys I'm Captain Cow. Lol, ok ok, enough the giggling. Got it because during some games, the GL kept making me the action of that, I mean I had to repeat doing it so many times. Kena called 'Zhi Wei' by some people cause I look like him. Not bad though, because of that, I ended up being more sociable. Throughout the day, I became quite a joke as some would say, making humourous comments and being laughed at. It was great though, bringing smiles and laughter to others, many times at the expense of myself.Campfire was like totally horrible. The tech support team was sucky, the mike was crappy and it kept going out. Our performance got messed up by bad music. The tech team played a longer version of the song and when our dance finished but the song continued on, we were jus stood there dumbfounded. We continued the other half with impromtu actions until we told them to stop the music. The performance from other groups wasn't all that entertaining either, probably because of the short preparation time. After 4 draggy hours, we ended it of with a dance night, at the grand stand. Dam... not again. Yup, I was an epic fail unless you call stone-ing dancing but cmon, I cant and dont want to dance. Insisting me to do so will result in a sharp pain in your stomach due to uncontrollable laughing fits.We slugged thru the night at the girls dorm playing games. 2 girls were high after consuming a box of sugary sweets and 2 cups of jelly. One was giggling constantly at nothing. The other was fighting for more jelly. Around 5, the camp coms went to all the rooms rounding up the boys. Thats like 2 hours left to sleep, neither here nor thr. Third day had nothing much on. The induction programme was pretty boring at first, until the PCS part where they talked about the PCS projects and stuff. They had some group called CYA for which you could join projects people started or just start one yourself. I'll consider joining if I have time.Labels: camp, foc, hms

Not-so-average teen, deep thinker, perfectionist with quirky randomness. Trained in the art of sarcasm and nonsensical logic.
Overcoming the circumstances of the present, and the issues of my past,
striving in self-betterment with a moral balance with the hope of the fulfillment of the destiny to be a light for Christ in His likeness,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am, for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Philosophy:
I like to think about life, especially pursuing on the concept of love. Not that lovey dovey romantic kind, but the affections we have for one another
that ties us together,strangers, friends, besties, family, that's the love I wanna know about. Love is the essence of life that ties us together,
love is what we were made for and to be, love is embracing the gift of the relationship with GOD.
