FoC

This week was a fantastic week for me because I attended quite a number of great events and made quite a number of new friends.

The first event I went was FoC, Freshman orientation camp (School of Computing), Organize by our seniors. Actually, I do not have the intention of joining this camp because I have things going on on the 8th June. Also, I thought the orientation camp would be like those I have attended during my poly days where everything was dry and not fun at all.... But after much thoughts and my friend, Roger Wong, also joining this camp, then I said to myself, "Why not? Just join and make new friends!". So I decided to sign up for this camp.

The first day of the camp really changes my thoughts base on my previous experience of the orientation camp that I have attended. It was really fun and interesting. I can see all the Orientation Group Leaders were very enthusiastic about this camp and my group member as well, we were are hyped up in each and every game we played. I still remember what my OGL said to us during the first day of our camp, "Don't play to win, let's just have fun!".

So no matter what games we played, we seldom win. I still remember the Running Man game, we were appointed as the mission team where we have to hide away from the seekers and at the same time, we have to do our mission in order to eliminate the seekers. The first round of the game, we decided to stick together as a team because we were still unfamiliar with the place and also try to protect the girls. But in the end, in less than 10 mins, all of us got caught.

But instead of reprimanding each other, we had a great laugh. The other group leaders (including ours) and the committee members told us that we were the fastest team to get caught in this game. So with that, we were given another chance to play again and this time we decided to split up in order to make this game last longer, if not a bit malu mah. But in the end, we all got caught again :)

The second day we played amazing race, where we joint with another group, which is bloo, in this amazing race game. But at that time, I was really tired, I just follow the group to complete the mission given to us, like a dead zombie.

But after we reached Sentosa, I feel refreshed again. We started playing all sorts of games. After which, Jin Hui and me decided to throw all our OG members into the sea (Since Li Ru suggested it). So we decided to throw Li Ru first since she suggested it, followed by Clovis (He throw himself), Wing, Fiona and then Jin Xiang.

After that we went to bathe and then Wing suddenly did a confession to us, she told us that she's a fake freshie!!! We were like... NO WAY!!!! Cause the way she acted, was totally like a freshman. None of us suspected her as a fake freshie. Worse come to worse was that she is a year 4 student! WOW!!!!! Surprise right? She felt guilty about it that's why she decided to told us on the second day, and also some of the fake freshie had already revealed themselves and the respond wasn't that good.

But for us, this looks great and unbelievable because this is our first time experiencing this kind of event. Instead of having negative respond, we were like, "Hey let's try that next year to the freshie!". We don't get mad at that because it doesn't matter that you are a freshie or a senior, the most important thing is to be happy and make more new friends.

But then, after having dinner with my OG, I had to leave because I have something on the next day :(

But then, I appeared again on the 8th June evening. It was the time where we played the SP (Secret Pal) game. The secret pal game was basically meeting the opposite sex from the other groups and that person will be your secret pal, you will only know their real identity during the finale where we get to eat dinner together, exchange present and know each other more.

The orientation camp concluded with Cookie Monster, which is my group and the no.1 group in this orientation camp..... All other teams also did well too in this camp and all left home with prizes too. This camp was certainly fun but it's a pity that I missed part of it due to some involvement in something. But overall, it's a great camp!

I am Back!

Finally, I am back to blogging!

Left 11 days to my ORD date! Well it feels great to know that I going to start my new phrase of life soon but also, feel a bit sad because the people that I have trained with during BMT and OCT, also people whom I have worked with for a year, I have to say goodbye to them soon.... All the memories created are truly wonderful, because of that, I will not forget my NS life after I ORD even ROD :)

During my long leave before I ORD, I watched a lot of Korean Drama/Variety show, which my brother introduced. At first, only one variety show attracts me which was "We Got Married season 2", which shows about the marriage life of a random chosen celebrities couple. The reason why is because, I have watched the season 1 of "We Got Married" before, that's why I do not mind watching the season 2 of the show. But after a while, I was influence by my brother to watch another variety show, Running Man.

After I started watching the first episode of Running Man, it totally made me addicted to it. I kept on watching and watching..... Basically Running Man is an outdoor game show hosted by the Korean Nation MC, Mr. Yoo Jae Suk, follow by the long term team member, Kim Jong Koon, Song Jihyo, HaHa, Gary, Guan Suk, Suk Jin and Jong Ki (left the show due to filming of drama). Every week, there will be one or two guest celebrities joining the game show along with the team member. Each time the team wins a game, they will be awarded with a Running Ball, which gives them a chance to escape from punishment. You will never get sick of this show because they have wide variety of games involved throughout this show.

After which, I also watch another variety show hosted by Nation MC, Mr.Yoo Jae Suk, which is Family Outing Season 1. The show is a two day and one night show split into two episodes. The show is a two day and one night show split into two episodes. In the first episode, it starts with a call from Yu Jae-suk, the permanent MC on the show, telling the rest of the family where the next location is. Each member arrives along with the episode's guest, greeted by Yu Jae-suk who is usually waiting in front of the town hall or a waiting shed. The guest is then given a map to follow to the house that they will be staying in. Once they reach the house, they send off the owners on their vacation and look over the list of chores that the house owners have left behind for them to complete. After this, they begin with the first chore. While completing this chore a game is played in which the family splits up into two teams. After completing the first chore they either go on to the next chore or go to prepare dinner. When preparing dinner, the family splits up the duties once again.
After dinner, the Family plays games for early morning chores. Before Park Ye-jin and Lee Chun-hee's departure, the sleeping arrangements are chosen by having a contest after dinner. Lee Hyo-ri and Park Ye-jin would rank the men in the family from first, as the most desirable, to last (1 to 6 or 7 if there are two male guests) based on how well they perform in the day and the contest. After which the guys rank the girls. Recently, the ranking activities has been replaced with games to figure who will be doing the late-night or early-morning chores. Usually 1 person is chosen, whether losing as a group or an individual game then choosing the rest, to make a total of 3 people. The first episode usually ends in the middle of the night's activity.
The second episode begins with the continuation of the night's activity. After the rankings or the nighttime chores, the Family goes to bed. They usually sleep around midnight or later, because of the night activities or because they talk so much before going to sleep. The next morning the show's producer wakes up Yu Jae-suk and gives him the instructions for the Wake Up Mission. Initially, the Wake Up Mission was in the form of a quiz but later on was changed into more physical games. Whoever loses this game, has to make breakfast for the family. The loser then picks one to sometimes three people to make the breakfast with him/her. While they make breakfast, the rest of the Family either goes back to sleep, or completes another chore. The people that makes the breakfast gets to choose what they want to cook. Most of the time, the process of making breakfast takes a long time so it will be at least noon or later when the family members eat breakfast. After breakfast, the Family does the remaining chores on the list left by the owners. While completing the final chores, another game is played. After finishing the chores the owners of the house return and the Family leaves. A preview of the next week's episode and guest/s is shown at the end of the episode.
In later episodes, half of the night's activity aired before preparing dinner, afterwards going back in time (3–4 hours) to prepare dinner, with the episode ending at dinner. The second episode still begins with the continuation of the night's activity, which usually involves the selection of who will be doing the early-morning chores. Then those people are shown doing the chore before the Wake Up Mission is played. Afterwards, breakfast is made and a shot of the "Family" is shown before the preview of the next week's episode. This has virtually eliminated the actually owners involvement with the family, other than handing the house over to the Family at the beginning. (From wikipedia)


Well, that's where I gonna end my blog for now! Cya!
