it’s been a while

it’s been a while since i last had a proper post here. (i did a mini check at my calendar and realised i’ve been logging an average of 1 post a week!)

nonetheless, here’s a summary of what’s been happening (well…some of it) over the past week.

- ambassador training and bonding camp
- dinner at kanesh’s house
- someday by nickelback

ambassador training and bonding camp
group 4 rocks!
the ambassadors training and bonding (tnb) camp recently ended and i’ve only got to say this: everyone there rocks!

when i stepped into camp with only 3 hours of sleep the day before, i knew it was going to be a challenge for me to be sociable and talk people i don’t know.

to cut the long story short, i’m proud to say that i’ve forged new friendships and made many new friends.

one of them was matthew. don’t be deceived by his innocent looks! on the outside, he’s nice. on the inside, he’s gay and scary

put these 2 together and you won’t be able to stop laughing

with the lack of sleep comes to lack of “processing power” than my brain can possibly output. i can clearly recall moments of me being slow. i can clearly remember when we were tasked to write a question that we couldn’t answer, i went ahead and write the opposite: a stupid question that could be answered.

what do i mean? well, when everyone wrote questions like, “how do i be happy?” or “how to manage time?”, my idiotic brain told my hands to write, “have you gone drinking, smoked a cigarette or watched an M18 movie below the legal age of 18 before?”

i also recall another idiotic moment during the personalized tour segment. when violet (the evil group leader) started to pretend she was feeling feverish. also immediately, my brain interpreted her to be thirsty and not otherwise. (you can imagine the embarrassment i went through)

nonetheless, regardless of all these stupid and idiotic moments, i had a blast. and i hope my teammates did too.

one regret that i had was the laziness and the lack of intention to write notes for my teammates. i feel awfully guilty when i received a ton of notes from people.

many of these notes touched me. it did make me feel guilty for not writing something for them. i wished i did something about it.

ah yes, how could i forget the person who persuaded me into dpa and ambassadors

dinner at kanesh’s house
dinner at kanesh’s house was the one reason why i felt sleepy during camp.

i was under this impression that i was going there for dinner and dinner only. afterwards, i would go home and have a good night’s rest in lieu of camp. but i thought wrong.

i was persuaded and sweet-talked into staying over at kanesh’s house. consequently, we slept late and woke up early.

describing this “bed” as comfortable would be an understatement

enough complaining and whining and the lack of sleep, the food that kanesh’s family put together was awesome!

even though it was a simple dinner, kanesh had done a lot to make it a nice evening for all of us. this includes the setting!

it indeed was an awesome and interesting experience. can’t wait to have something similar again

thoughts

someday by nickelback
don’t ask me about my obsession about nickelback. they rock and that’s all that matters.

apart from ‘gotta be somebody’ and ‘far away’, 2 of my many favourite songs, part of the lyrics of the song “someday” (although old) hit me.

here’s part of the song that hit me, hard.

Someday, somehow
I’m gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you’re wondering when
(You’re the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I’m gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you’re wondering when

Nothing’s wrong, just as long as
You know that someday I will

a teaser note
to close this long post, i thought it would be nice to tease you about the next post.

i’ll be letting my thoughts and rant out. what is it about? well, you just have to wait. but don’t worry, it’ll come soon!

until then!
