to the stress of school...
as it begins on Mon...
there are three things occupying my brain
PW not completed, Choir songs not learnt, CAP portfolio...
so till these are done, everything else gets a bench seat...
the final deadline is on 24 july...
so after that i'll concentrate on debate and OM ks...
thanks for understanding guys...

DA camp is over!
hahas...
i'm saying that with much enthusiasm becuz of the food...
in accordance with celine's update, i second her opinion...
the food is disgusting...
vegetarian is a lil better...
but not that much...

in terms of camp content, it was alrite...
but if i say that i come out of the camp a better COMPETITIVE debater, it won't be true...
hmmm...
but camps are fun...
this was no exception...
and it is a time to learn abt others and get closer to friends...
thanks guys!

tomo is off the CAP...
all acsi debaters are never free... trust me...
haf fun at prefects' trip ya'll...

back from camp!
but i didn't actually stay over or anything...
we had the OM dinner on thursday after all...
juts the 7 of us and peter and the 2 coaches...
at the comforts of rayan's ENORMOUS house...
listening to american idol classics from all 3 seasons...
just eating and chatting by the pool...
it was great...
then we adjourned to the sound room, where we viewed pics fromt he trip, courtesy of dhanesh...
following that was a game of pool on rayan's pool table...
a great end to a wonderful journey in OM...
here's to the best team ever...

now its over to my life, minus OM...
still recovering from the sudden lack of excitement...
but i'll be alrite...
debate camp was really fun...
first day was just debates for the campers... bridge and heart attack for the rest of us...
second day was michael's amazing race...
pretty cool...
my first station was the lost civilisation at sentosa...
then it was s'pore expo...
spent 3 hours at the coffee bean with sam and paul...
coz we were there too early...
hahas...
yesterday was the mock UN council...
quite fun...
we missed the last second part of the thing coz we went out for lunch..
due to a shortage of food...didn't order enuff on 62353535
swensens was fun...
then spent the rest of the day playing bridge, heart attack and cheat...
today's my first dep training...
hope its fun...
