SMU Sports Camp 2007

Upon request of my sweet team mate Priscilla, I've decided to write this late night blog entry for her. Girl you should feel honoured that you are the first person from the Sports camp I know. Haha. What made her so special is that she's the one who signed on my SMU certificate, officially making me a citizen of SMU.

SMU Sports camp certainly lived up to its expectations. 3 days 2 nights of fun filled activities. Seriously, I hate writing each and every single detail of the camp. I think its really dumb repeating these stuff. Anyway, a fun game isn't any fun when your team members aren't enthusiastic. Its the people who make the difference. Basically, my team exhibited great team work, sportsmanship and creativity.

Seriously, on the first impression, the team did not look very impressive. We lack the raw power (Big built and strong guys). For most of the camps I have been to, the games often strength based. Certainly, I feel my team was a bit disadvantaged. Stamina, speed and endurance are never a issue. When it comes to raw power, a lot of people can flick me off with ease. Well, never judge a book by its cover. My team did lived up to its name "Transformers - Robots in Disguise". Each and everyone of us certainly has hidden talents. Instead of raw power, brain power does most of our work.

*The first game of Judo certainly crushed my morale. That basketball player nudged me out of the mat effortlessly. $%^%#^$&^$&^$&^$^$#$^&$

For the amazing race, we did not even break a sweat to win in record breaking time. Thanks to our wonderful spokeswomen Meiqian and her team of gorgeous ladies, we hitched 3 rides in a day. Hitching a ride in Singapore? You must be kidding. My jaws dropped when I knew she managed to hitch a ride for the third time (A lorry all the way to the end point). Simple believable....things like this actually happen in Singapore?

The Winning team

Enough said, I think I am most impressed by my talents to guess the famous item Mono Lisa. Well, it was an easy game. All we had to do is to ask questions about the name of the person stuck on your forehead and guess it. Mine is not a person. She's a person in a picture. I was asking stupid questions throughout the entire game. Everyone kept giggling. (Now I know why) A stroke of genius and that made the difference. I asked the stunning question which got me the answer immediately. "Was she a lady in a picture?" I guessed I caught everyone by surprise with that question. Haha.

Transformers isn't a RAA RAA team. We are so low profile. Basically, we are small but impactful. We are like Ninjas. We kill without leaving a trace. The team is made up of like minded people. Most of us like to relax, but all performed their best during games. Most of us don't drink. Lucky for me. I hate to drink that bitter crap. If my team is made up of heavy drinkers, I would have gone drunk since I have this weakness to alcohol. Most of them don't club as well. Seriously, how often do you find people as "pathetic" as me. I work in St James, but I have only visited 2 clubs once. MOS once and the now defunct Club MoMo once.

All these doesn't matter. What matters most is that we swept away two 2nd prizes for the entire Sports Camps. $150 Cafe Cartel vouchers and $125 NYDC vouchers.

On a final note, I would like to thank beloved team mates from Transformer for giving such a wonderful experience. A smashing start to University life! Crystal, Esther, Priscillia, Kesh, Mei Qian, Desmond, Derrick, Eugene and Jasper, You people rock!
