  • Outing with Sec Sch Buddies

    Well the main thing that I did today(or yesterday) was to go out with my sec sch buddies, JH, Ron & Aly. But before I met up with them, I went to school for a meeting with my YAH team mates (not all of them were there, just two others). Basically, this was a feedback session for our proposal of an event that we intent to hold in school. Going to have another meeting at 4 pm tomorrow to touch up on the proposal.

    After this meeting, I went back to clementi to have my lunch. I went to a place called “BOTAK JONES“. The food there is good and the serving is quite big. So it is worth the money. One bad thing is that there is a certain amount of waiting time, for me I waited for 30 minutes. But I can see that they are making effort to streamline the process and telling you upfront that there is a waiting time so you can decide whether to wait or not.

    After my lunch, I met with the gang and as usual there would be someone who is late. But it all right. We took the train down to orchard cineleisure to catch the movie “deja vu”. Well this movie is about…..(not going to say, go catch movie. Its quite nice.) Then after the movie, we went to the Hereens to walk around, may just HMV.

    We late walked down to The MINDS Cafe to play board games. Played Who’s the Boss and other games that I don’t really remember the names. Played for like 3 hours. Then after that I gave them a short tour of my school campus, showing them all the common areas. Then we just walked down to Raffles Place to have a meal at The Soup Spoon. Quite nice soup they have there. But can be better. Maybe more spice.

    After this we headed to the train station, and back home we went.

  • SMUBE: Campus TV

    Well like I said in the previous post, I was at the CTV camp on monday. Actually this camp started on the sunday.

    On sunday, we started with some intro to what CTV is about and what videos they have done. We then proceed with ice breakers to get to know each other more. Followed by lessons on storyboarding and camera work.

    We were then divided up into groups and given a task to produce a video around then theme “Lift”. My group decided that we should make a video about a ghost in the lift. Will post the link to the video when I get it. After we had complete the video, we were given comments about how to better improve the video, and most of it was very helpful feedback.

    I felt that the video was quite well done considering that we had only two plus hours to complete it.

    After the review session, we went to have supper. Learnt more about some of the supper locations near to the school.

    We then went back to school, and spend the night in the Campus Radio room.

    In the morning, we played a game called sherades (at least I think this is the spelling).

    We then proceeded to brain storming for the SMU video contest, Sho*ping & Mu*ging. And also for the next season of Campus TV. We actually intended to have 3 teams for the video contest, but decided that it was best to chose 1 idea and work on it and focus on the next season for Campus TV. And I took the job of doing up the video for the contest. Well hope I can make something out of it.

    At the end of the day, we played a drawing form of taboo. And it was quite fun and we had a great time. We after the game helped to pack things up as Campus TV would be moving into the Radio Room. As OSL have decided to use the current room for something else.

    Well lets hope that I can do a good job with the video and win something.

  • Climb Team Outing

    Today or infact yesterday, I went for the third day of the SMU Climb Team Camp. You may ask why I didn’t go for the first two days. Well I was at the CTV camp on the first day. And the second day, I had to go settle some stuff.

    Well today was a great day. Had fun climbing. We did some very interesting climbing whereby we had to tie our hands together and boulder from one end of the wall to the other. Then we also had to climb blindfolded.

    Then after that we broke camp and we all met up again at marina south for steamboat. The steamboat is quite filling and good. We had fun cooking and eating.

    After that we went to a pub near our school for some drinks and singing. We had fun playing games. As some of us had things on the next morning, we had to leave before 12.

    But it was fun being with this group of people. Very passionate about what they love and that is climbing. Love you guys.
