 EnginRAG ERAG ERAG 2.0
Finally after more than 5 months of not writing on my blog I'm finally going to complete this Summer series.
"I'm never going to join RAG again!!" That was me after RAG in Summer 2016. But oh and behold, I'm back in RAG again. Since I'm writing this after sooooooooo long, my memory is pretty fuzzy. So much was going on during that period, all the drama and work to be done. All I can say is that stress really brings out the best and worst in people. (Though I remember pretty clearly who I was pissed off with, but this is not the post for me to rant about people, so let's move on in life and just forget everything bad that has happened during RAG. Shall attempt to make this post less wordy, but I doubt that is possible considering that RAG is a 3 month affair for freshies and freaking more than 6 months affairs for seniors. From the planning stage, designing the costumes and finally putting up the entire performance on stage, it was just really really hectic but it was truly an eye opening experience. Given a choice, would I do it again? Definitely yes! So here's an attempted summary of ERAG 2017!

Raging inside as I write this post (for the second time!!) Was actually done with it but chrome decided to crash on me when chrome decided to crash on me! Cancer sia.
Well now that I'm back at this post, I hope I can remember what I was trying to express previously.
Soooooo, was supposed to write this right after the camp ended but obviously, I'm late again. Forgive me, my dear readers (I wonder how many people actually bother to keep following my blog to check for updates... Leave me a comment plox)
*Problem with goldfish memory is that I can't even remember what I wrote right before this so it's probably going to be a bit different from what I initially wrote ... :(*

Time for a super duper late post. BME CAMP 2017!
Yes, camp happened at the start of June and it's the start of August already. Forgive me for my horribly packed schedule this summer that I have zero time for myself, let alone to write blog posts. But rest assure this post had been planned for since the camp ended, just that I really have no time to write. Brace yourselves as this will be a really long post (gotta start it way back from the planning stage all the way till the execution)
So let's throw back all the way to May when we actually started preparing for this camp. (Yes it's really late to start planning for a camp 1 month before but well, our camp turned out fine so yay). If I were to summarise the planning stage, I'd use one word to describe it, CANCEROUS. Have to clarify this, not to say that the people involved were bad, but it was just really rushed and there wasn't any concrete plan to it. And of course, me being the kancheong spider started panicking for no good reason (or maybe there was a really good reason and that would be that camp was supposed to happen in 1 month). Really thankful for all the people who were not in main comm but decided to help us out in programs and also vetting our proposal. Much love for you guys. Planning stage eventually went alright with a few minor changes here and there and we cleared Prof. Lim in one go so yay!
Now time for camp! Labels: 2017, BMEcamp, Camping, NUS, Orientation, SamFreedomAdventures, School, Uni Life EnginRAG ERAG ERAG
And aft 1.5mths of dancing and preparing for the big day, it's over~ Can't believe that this journey in RAG has come to and end, but fear not, once a RAGger, always a RAGger. Already set my mind on coming back to help out next year. RAG has definitely been an amazing journey and as I have said on my Insta post, I really treasure the friendship we've forged and the memories we share. Honestly, never really expected myself to step out and do something so different like dance. Although I always wanted the opportunity to dance, I knew I didn't have the talent and ability. Being part of RAG and dance was really something that came across my mind and really blessed to be able to be part of this whole experience.

Late post, but better late than never! BME camp was 2 weeks ago and it was pretty awesome. Nice to have met new friends and it's funny how I met a few familiar faces haha. (Had a good catch up with Wei Ling, my secondary school classmate and funny how my EnginCamp SP is now my OG mate hahaha) Honestly, I still enjoyed EnginCamp more, maybe because of the people or maybe just because I had a really bad SP experience, but the camp was still really really fun!! Time for the picture spam. (Can't really remember the details of the camp now, but I'll try to summarize it..)

Hello World! I'm finally back after soooo long. I guess it's been ages since I last updated this blog cuz I've been pretty busy with playing DOTA and working on Bakestaters (it's a new online baking ingredient service thing that I'm helping out with. You can check us out Bakestarters Website and follow us on instagram @Bakestarters ) Anyways, enough of talking bout work... Wheeeeeee! Just came back from EnginCamp and have to say that it was the best 4 days of my life hahhaha (maybe there gonna be more of such days in Uni life cuz I'm really looking forward to BME camp which is like next week GG shag liao) Now for a quick summary of the past 4 days of fun, sun and craziness.

Hello World! I'm finally back. It's been ages since I last posted haha. Well, life hasn't been easy for the past 2 months but nonetheless, I'm back haha. Now for a little update. January flew by in a flash. Didn't really have much time to spend on myself. Well, February is almost half gone and BT1 is coming. NOOOOOOOO.......... Now for a quick summary of life and reflection. In January, I did something pretty crazy. I decided to join squash for training. Those who know me will know that I'm not really the sporty kind (Ok, I play sports but still, I'm not the type that can handle such rigorous trainings). I would say that I really enjoyed those days training with the team and picking up the sport. But all good things must come to an end I guess. It's quite saddening that the school wouldn't allow me to take on 2 school teams (considering that I've already secured my spot in the Badminton team) I decided to leave squash. It wasn't an easy decision weighing in the fact that I won't really get to play for the team in Badminton. Just going to take this chance to thank my squash teammates for teaching me so much and for helping me pick up the sport so quickly. Also, thanks Coach Zainal for putting in so much effort to teach me and help me learn faster. I'll be back in the squash courts someday I guess. (Might consider joining squash in the future haha cuase it really is a very fun and good sport to relax) The rest of January wasn't really all that eventful except Lao's Birthday !!!!!! Jasmine is the oldest in Mahboobs so her birthday is first !!!! First birthday of the year, first birthday in 7C and first one to be legal and can buy me alcohol hahaha (Please don't mistaken that I'm an alcoholic please, I just love the taste hahaha) It was an awesomeue day as we split her celebration into 2. First was the cake and birthday song during recess and the best part came after school. (Shall not reveal too much here. It's for us to know and you to find out hehe)
February is what I would like to call my most exciting month. From celebrating my birthday to CNY and many many test. This month is just super busy for me. So as not to bore everyone to death, I shall focus on 3 main events.
1. Happy 18th Birthday to Me
Yes! It's finally here! I'm finally legal to drink and buy toto haha. Celebrated my birthday at home since it's HBL day aka slack day. I actually planned to go to USS with my family but since I couldn't finish my HBL work on time, we stayed at home.
The first surprise I received was from MahBoobs. (Thanks guys) yups I got pretty notebooks which I'm going to put to good use and FOOOOOOD. THANKS GUYS. Y'ALL KNOW ME TOO WELLLLLL!!!!!
Second part of the birthday celebration was from my parents. Really didn't expect my mum and dad to get me a cute princess banner and helium balloons haha. (I'm a kid again, a legal kid that is)
Had awesome cake and ate my birthday all-time favourite, DRUMSTICK FROM KFC haha. It's been a long time tradition that I've been following. Every birthday I'll have a drumstick from KFC to munch on haha.
2.Fun under the Sun
Spent quite a bit of time this month under the sun. From running around to cover orientations games to getting rammed by running J1s during War Games, it's been a really awesome photography journey. As Term 1 comes to an end, my life as HC Photographer is almost ending. In about 2-3 months time, we'll all be stepping down, but that doesn't mean that it's the end of my photography journey hehe. Do look out for my pictures on my facebook profile. Add me.
FaceBook and tag all your friends in the pictures.
To add on to the tanning, I've recently been into playing Frisbee. Yes, you heard it. I'm becoming like one of those high school boys flicking around school. But that doesn't mean that I'm not freaked out by flying objects haha. It's actually quite fun when you play with people of the same standard and everyone is having fun.
Got quite tanned after Tuesday's ultimate session with the badminton rec club people. Shout out to the awesome people ! Confident to say Bad. Rec people are SUPER NICE (minus some haha) So here's a big thank you to those in my group (Bryan Chia, Student of the Year Jin Kai, the Quan brothers Hong Quan and Wei Quan, Rachel, Wan Ling, Cheryl Mah,Xue Er who's no longer with us P.S. Do well in Squash kays and that stupid Banana who is randomly crashing ahah)
3. CNY Celebration & POP
Yesterday!!!!!!!!
Celebrated my first and last CNY in Hwa Chong. It's pretty awesome. Did my first LoHei for the year as well. Shout Huat until I lost my voice haha #toodamnfail
Had a lot of fun running around taking pictures of everyone and trying to find people in the crowd. But I have to say, the food in the street market is a rip off. Who sells a small bowl of food for like $2.
After the celebration the J1s had POP. It's super nice to watch them dance again (Reliving the good'ol days of J1 when we were once so carefree and relaxed)
Shall spend the rest of my CNY editing photos and writing more blog posts.
Till next time,
Gong Hei Fatt Choy
Happy Chinese New Year!

Ever since school started, I haven't found the time to continue blogging (I know I still have 4 more posts for my Europe trip) but I've decided to write this post first. I received my O level results about 1 month ago and I was really happy to get what I got. I still can't believe that I did so well (though it's not the perfect score, it's still quite awesome to get such good grades) I had 5 A1s, 3A2s and a B3 for HCL which is like super duper surprising. So, my L1R5 is 3 nett. I am really thankful for all the support from my family, friends and the school for helping me achieve what I did. (Special thanks to Mr. Keong who really helped me a lot not only in Math but also being such a great teacher. He really helped me a lot throughout my upper sec years. He also guided me really well through my leadership role in Badminton to THANKS A LOT MR KEONG.) After getting my results, I had 5 days to decide which school to apply for. It definitely wasn't an easy decision. I always had my mind set that I wouldn't do so well but just well enough to get into ACJC but now I can practically go to any JC/Poly course I wanted. After thinking for a really long time and visiting many Open houses (and getting really tanned during this period) I finally decided to give Hwa Chong a try. People around me advised me to give it a try since it is always better to choose top schools. I was quite sceptical about getting into Hwa Chong since there are many top scorers in Singapore. Finally after a long wait, I received my posting on 5 Feb. I was accepted into HWA CHONG which was really surprising. I feel really blessed to be able to get into such a good and prestigious school. Reporting to school on 6 Feb, I met my OG for the first time. It wasn't really what I'd expected it to be. I was kinda awkward with my group and sadly because I decided to go for the KI trial lesson, I totally missed the ice breakers. I was quite hard to fit in afterwards since I didn't really know anyone. (but at least I managed to make a few friends before I left) I spent my first 4 days with my OG and I felt like I was seriously anti-social (though I'm actually not if you get to know me) The people in my group knew each other and were in their own groups and I thought I'd end up reverting to my sec 1 life again. Fortunately, as time past I managed to get to know each of them better (maybe not all but at last majority of them) and realised that they were really cool people. Time flew past and soon we were split into classes. I was lucky to have someone I knew from my OG in my class because at least I wouldn't be as awkward as before. My class is super cool and bonded though we only just got to know each other. I was really glad that my class is so nice and enthu. Coincidentally, my birthday fell on one of the CT orientation days and I was really surprised that my class actually bought me a cake (aww I love you guys.) It's really touching that they did it for me because we only knew it each other for 1 day and they make me feel so LOVED 14th Feb, Valentine's day marks the last day of our orientation. It's quite saddening that we are going to start school. As you can tell I really wasn't close with my OG but somehow, something in me just told me to join them for campfire night. And I have to say that it was really the best decision that I made. It was really fun doing SODACHE with the guys and I guess it really brought me closer to the rest. (To my CT, I love you guys too) Orientation is officially over and I really would like to thank some people that really made my 1st week in school so fun and memorable. Thanks Deborah and Li Wen for being such wonderful OGLs and letting us ship you guys. You guys really helped me a lot and helped me understand HCI better. Thanks OG2! I know I haven't been the best OGM to you guys and I am always in my own world but thanks for creating so many memories with me and for being so nice and funny. I hope we stay in touch and meet up and have more outings soon. Thanks 14S7C for being such a wonderful class! I am so looking forward to our 2 years together and I really hope that we can bond and be the best class ever. To all those people who had to suffer dancing with me and standing beside me during SODACHE Thanks for not pointing out that I seriously suck at singing and dancing (I am a horrigible dancer and my voice seriously sucks I know) 4 faculties, 1 HWA CHONG!
