REFLECTIONS ON SPORTS CAMP 2005....Zhonghan asked me on the eve of Arts Camp, whether i was interested in going back to Sports Camp the week after Arts Camp to help out as councillor. I hesitated coz i wasnt sure whether i wud be too tired, and also coz i missed pre-camp.In the end on fri night after Arts camp and sat afternoon, his persistent calls showed me that he was really sincere about asking me and i couldnt say no. And for an old friend like him and Yuzeng, how could i say no man. Besides, i felt that i could take a good break away from Arts Club, from the planning, the activities, even the people, and join back some of my Sports Club frenz and affiliates. I felt that a good clean break from work and allowing myself some space to have some fun as a councillor wud recharge my batteries.It sure did man! :)Joining Sports Camp allowed me to evaluate and compare Arts Camp to it, though the basis for comparison also not v fair. But i was very encouraged to hear virtually all the Arts Camp freshies who went for Sports Camp saying that Artstasy was more fun and memorable for them.This year's freshie cohort is a bit different, esp the girls..hmmm..they were definitely not as wild as last year's batch. Wah piang last year's Sports Camp almost all the OGs were crazy and damn onz lah. Forfeits were fucking crazy, examples include smelling each other's feet and dirty socks, licking each other's armpit hairs filled with Colgate, sticking fingers into each other's nostrils, pouring green tea on a guy's naked torso and getting girls to lick them clean, humping trees and cars, hiding in drains, doing headstands, doing striptease, everything was like damn wild and horny lah e forfeits ahhahahahhaa.This year many were more reserved. And last year got more of those kind of chiongers clubbing people, and real rugged athletes.Sports Club people and affiliates are very different from Arts Club people. i always felt that they were more relak and sporting people, and more similiar to the OAC Instructors i worked with during my OAC days. Haha, no doubt much much more of them speak Chinese..and sometimes i feel i was able to connect to most of them quite easily. haha, maybe its coz i was best freshie last year, and that certainly helped in knowing more people around.Really very easy-going people, less uptight and very fun-loving haha.I had a lot a lot a lot of fun as a normal councillor, with no O Com responsiblities or OGL House ICs responsiblities. Took care of my OG and ra-raing people with all my silly cheers haha, something which i always enjoy doing! Talked a lot of cock here and then and genuinely had a great time, except for the last night for bash unfortunately.Enjoyed making a lot of new frenz, both among the freshies and the councillors haha! Enjoyed seeing the OG bond and grow stronger day by day. Enjoyed all the times spent outdoors at Ubin, Sentosa, and a great tan.Had a lot of fun being part of the NO NO councillors hahaha!! I honestly enjoyed a lot of rapport and senseless wild fun with all the councillors. All the silly things we always do to try and ra ra the freshies. To the NA NA councillors Edwin, Martin, Shaikh, Jiahui, Xiaopei, Ginny, Yingxian, Melissa, and the NE NE Councillors Jason, Cherhao, Bryan, Raine, Tiffany, Hildra, i just wanna say i had a great deal of fun and great company with all of you haha!!Sports Camp is special to me in a different way, and i m so glad now looking back that Han invited me to go. Hmmm, how should i put it..its like a little secret paradise which i know i can go to for a great dose of fun, excitement and breather. Kinda like u know, the beach in the movie Beach Boys? hahahaand i m so glad to know that xiaopei, jiahui, ginny and some of my freshies are in Arts. Which means i m quite sure i ll see these new frenz again when school starts :)Something stirred me at the end of the camp. Cherhao, the Sports Club VP, came up to me and invited me to run for Sports Club MC for the next year. The way he put it across made me feel very honoured and welcome, and i felt it was genuinely sincere. I told him i wud get back to him again, and i honestly havent crossed it out of my mind since the camp ended.Not only him, but a few others also asked me about it during the camp. I thought back to last year, when i actually went to the Sports Club Welcome Tea, even took the forms for running for Sports Club MC. I wanted to run for Sports Club, only to pull out in the end coz i felt i didnt know enough people there and coz i felt there was oredi a very strong clique there. Learnt about the Arts Club Sports Director post and eventually ran for Arts Club MC together with Suzi and Chonghan. The rest is history haha..Sports Club events and activities are real fun, and i m very very confident that i can do a good job in Sports Club MC should i decide to run for it, becoz of my relevant experiences in OAC last time as well as my first year doing so many Uni projects. Most important to me is the people around you when u decide what to run for. Judging by the past 2 Sports Club MCs and Sports Camps, i m pretty sure of the capabilities of the people involved in the MC. And i think the Sports Club people are geninuely cool and realli more relak kind haha..but zai wan, no doubt about that.deep down i have a feeling that a year in Sports Club wud be a fantastic journey..haha nmind i can ask Chermaine more about this. A very warm and fuzzy feeling..i cant explain entirely though..it had to do with a lot of things, including Chermaine's birthdae this yr..the personalities in the club, Sports Camps, Urban Escape last year, Sports Bash, some of their photos at the notice board, little things here and there...A feeling which i forsee will keep me thinking for the next few months probably...for now i just want to concentrate on Arts Club and helping to contribute to a successful and great FOP!! :)
