I haven't been blogging for a while, mainly because i've been getting progressively lazier everyday. And i've also been trying to complete homework, so that's why i was MIA from my blog for quite some time. Sigh, how can more than one month of holiday fly by so fast? Darn, it seemed like only yesterday when the SLE Camp ended.The past 2 weeks have been pretty uneventful, except for meeting up pretty frequently with my SLE group in order to complete our YOG project. I was really happy after our last meeting last Thursday because we FINALLY started to make some headway (: Essentially, there isn't much left to do right now.I just got back from the Explorations In Ethnicity (EIE) Camp. Okay, i know it sounds hella boring, and it is, in a way. But i found it alright on the whole, except that the discussion sessions were way too many and way too long. But then again, considering the topics we were discussing (e.g Racism in Singapore, Race, Ethnicity and Culture), i guess a certain degree of seriousness was needed at least. It was pretty enlightening actually; Sharifuddin and Janice were good in putting ideas across (: A plus point of this camp was the accomodation. Thinking that it was going to be some outdoor camp, i really packed light and made all preparations. I think i've learnt my lesson from SLE camp. But what the hell, our accomodation was at Nanyang Executive Centre at NTU, which is literally a hotel. So imagine how dumb i felt bringing along torchlight, mosquito repellant, etc. To make matters worse, i didn't bring a jacket along and the entire area was air-conditioned. Thanks Pei Yi for lending me your jacket! (: Oh, the food was also the best that i ever tasted in any camp. Ahhh, it felt more like a vacation than anything else. Though it was undoubtedly a little dull, unlike SLE, which felt more like a boot camp but was so exciting and fun. So the end of the EIE camp marks the beginning of another camp, NEC Family Day. But that one is going to be more like a work-and-play camp, though with the MI NE Council, so i guess it'll be kind of enjoyable but yet stressful and tiring too. I'll definitely also be able to see the Student Council slogging away in school last minute for orientation *evil grin*. But since my dear friends Shawn and Yu Ting are part of it, maybe, just maybe, i won't gloat so much. Heehee. Okay, i gotta run now. Till next time (:
