Never have I felt such strong emotions for a camp before. I wonder whether it is because of ODAC's very own unique family culture that touched me deep in my heart, or it is because I have chosen to push myself all the way in, letting myself loose in this family and really be myself, which is why I have found so much joy in the past 6 days. I want to hold on to these memories tightly. In the future, the bonds may fade and our friendships might become ordinary.... But I believe that all of us will definitely remember the times we had during camp and when we look back, we will be glad and happy that we once had all those times together. Family is not about maintaining it forever, it is about how close we once were and how much we cherish one another!

Day one:
I woke up early not to go for camp, but instead I went to Pamela's house to do up the freshie gift. Basically, I missed most of the camp on first day and I felt extremely lost when I saw the freshies and seniors being able to talk to each other naturally already and I am still left on the sideline. I decided to push myself in to mingle with the freshies as that will be the only way for us to bond. Night cycling started all of the suan-ing from fellow SAs to even the freshies. I couldn't cycle but I was really just glad to be able to follow them around and providing them with motivational food and drinks. Sighs but they totally suan-ed me for chao geng-ing! >< I didn't do it on purpose!

Day two:
First time dragon boating and as usual I was screaming away! But it was an excellent experience and IT WAS AWESOME! The right side of my body was aching like mad afterwards but still worth it!!! I felt that the bonds within the OG still wasn't that strong but it was only the second day! :D We went rock climbing and bouldering and I cheered the freshies on! The grocery shopping trip did make the seniors and freshies grow closer as we worked in a group and fooled around here and there!

Day three:
Packed our bags and all ready to head up to taka melor! :DDD Slept all the way there and played some games with the freshies whie waiting for other OGs at the customs. KENA FORFEIT AND GOT DRAWN AN ANIME EYE ON MY EYE! Sighs, tons of people were staring and staring and staring and laughing! Opened my eyes and saw the entire OG crowding in front of me staring at me kena forfeit!

AND I DEVELOPED AN EYE CANDY! :DDD He is rather cute and popular among the freshies as well HOHOHO! And it kinda escalated when he was trying to sabo me during the game, refusing to change positions with others and trying hard to confuse me. Sighs which he managed successfully! All the way up to taka melor and we played gladiator, a similar game to my FOC but this time round, I AM A WATER BOMB MAGNET! It smashed all over my head, boobs, ALL OVER ME! DRENCHED FROM HEAD TO TOE AND I DIDNT MANAGE TO SIAM ONE FULL BUCKETLOAD OF WATER COMING!

Cooking competition started and we left the freshies to do it while I assume my usual role during outfield cooking HEH Eye power only LOLS OOPS! Found another eye candy MUHAHAHA but I thought he was very dao and cool coz our conversation totally went into a lull when I tried to talk to him. (Who knew...)

Day four:
Trekking day and I was wondering whether I should leave my passport in the tent and bring it up to trek. Hmm, voiced my question out loud and kena LOL-ed at! Eye candy number 2 commented that we have already crossed the customs so why do we still need the passport?!?! HE TEASED ME ALL THE WAY FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS! Sighs but that totally changed my impression of him! For the better of course! And he was really helpful during the trek! Helping us to cross rivers and stuff (Y) As usual, I was falling all over the place during trek and scared the hell out of my fellow SAs. HAHA OOPS but HELLO I SURVIVED BERKELAH, WHAT IS TAKA! #arrogant :p
Went up to play at the waterfall and got targeted by eye candy number 1, splashed me until so much water went into my ear! SIGHS! I GOT LEECHED! YUCKS! Was kinda freaking out when I see a puncture on my foot, bleeding profusely. But I managed to get over it in the end, after a while. Played splashing games again and again and again and the freshies totally didn't treat me as a senior at all lo! SIGHS MY PRIDE AS A SENIOR GONE GONE GONE! Had my first small-group-htht with a couple of freshies when we were changing in the tent. HEHE shared with them my eye candies and asked them about theirs and I think the excellent thing being a girl will be GOSSIP! :DDD Gossiping bonds the people la! :D Freshies also gossip, seniors also gossip KEKEKE! (Y) I felt really glad and touched that they are willing to share all these with me, holding up the CIRCLE OF TRUST!

Cooked for the freshies while they discussed for their cheer fight. OOPS Irritated my boss while I went on my laughing frenzy! And that led to eye candy number 1 saying that I had too much of bacon bits LOLS Which somehow led to me eating too much magic mushroom! HAHA MY MAGIC MUSHROOM IS SHITAKE MUSHROOM WITH CHEESE! Campfire night was awesome! I performed the seniors' skit, playing as the lamp post! LOLS I really did felt a huge sense of belonging when all the subcomms ran out to do their cheer and take photos! It seemed so surreal, it felt like yesterday when I went for ODAC interview. Felt like yesterday when I attended the first meeting and everything doesn't seem so far away. But amazingly, one year has already passed. I am really thankful that I made the decision to join the ODAC family back then. It is one decision that I will never regret. I felt really touched when all of Aira grouped together, arms over one another, in a circle, voicing out our feelings and opinions that we have for the camp so far. I think that the overseas trip really did bond all of us as we play and work together to conquer all the obstacles and conflicts. I thanked everyone for accepting me for who I am, even though I might be weird and keesiao... I am happy that they gave me the attention because that just shows that they love me! The campfire was really awesome with PRETTY AND BRIGHT STARS and AWESOME FIREWORKS and TRUE HEART HTHT and LETTING GO OF THE KONG MING DENG! IT'S SO FREAKING HEARTWARMING!!! 

Day five:
The return journey back to Singapore and I finally sat on the freshie bus, playing and sleeping together with them was an experience that I would never forget! Eating with them in Nandos was so comfortable, it really did feel like we knew each other for a very very long time. Hehe ODAC felt like home during the subcomm presentation as all of the subcomms went up to listen to their bosses talk and cheer for each and everyone of the committee member! I guess this is a feeling that I will only experience once. Once I move on to become an ODAC senior, everything will change. I DUNWANNA I DUNWANNA I DUNWANNA!

Eye candy number 1 ruffled my hair!!! :D Hehe when I smacked my head on the table LOLS *shy* We all went to do the freshie gift together, I am so happy that there is this bunch of people who is willing to help me ALL THE WAY! And willing to stand up for me:
 Eg. Eh don't bully my senior ar!
Is I help you force them use your design de leh, must thank me ar! Haha we crapped, laughed, slept all the way while doing the gifts! So sweet of one of the senior to lend me his shrit to wear coz I was totally shivering like crazy! (Though he was complaining and suan-ing me) And I slept next to eye candy number 2 LOLS (Hope I didn't s-ing though)

Day six:
A lot of things cropped up but I was really happy that we survived it all. And I managed to enjoy the finale and was crying away when the freshies stood up to say their piece, thanking us and AWWSSS! :DDD 感觉像一个月，但是却又感觉时间实在是过得太快了。。。 和他们在一起的这六天真的让我有好多好多感触。。。 太多的委屈让泪水不断地涌上来，但是因为有他们的支持，所以我一直坚持下去。 从而有极大的成就感，感动。 这一次，我深深地感受到了家的定义。
