Mmmmmm.
I am craving Famous Amos!
The crunchy, buttery little cookies, the burst of chocolate chips, the way the cookie melts in your mouth as you chew on it..
So. I am back from my Freshmen Orientation Camp at school. It's been a tiring few days. I was unprepared, I realised I had camp the night before it was to commence! On the first night, I realised I forgot to bring my toothbrush. I also had no sleeping bag because I couldn't find one at home, but luckily for me, one of my new friends offered to share hers with me. It was too hot to zip up anyway.
I am currently sunburnt. My face is strange, only particular spots got burnt- my nose and cheeks. The rest is still its original colour. I look strange, the colour contrast is too great for comfort. I hope D doesn't laugh at me when he sees.
I've also been eating a lot. At camp, I looked forward to every meal, and I always asked for more and ate quickly. Hmm. It must've taken a lot of energy, because I always felt famished several hours after eating. My new-found friends marvelled at my superior eating skills!
Other things happened at the camp, like how I found this girl cute, she had multiple gorgeous highlights in her hair, a lovely face. Too thin, though. Girls must have some meat on them, you know?
However, she didn't make such an impression on me, I was still daydreaming about D's gorgeous smile. I was also trying to avoid these other girls who kept following us around- to the toilet, to the water-cooler, to sleep. It completely freaked me out when one of them asked for my number. I didn't even know her!
The first time she asked for it, I said "later, later", and then I continued talking to two other girls. Minutes later, she asked for it again, and when I turned around, her phone was right in my face. I gave her my number with two of the numbers switched around. If I declined, she would have gotten my e-mail somehow and tracked me down.
I was describing her to D- Accounts, thick glasses, small eyes, hairy legs. Later, he begged me to stop. :)
There was some frenzy about the family camera. I had kept it in my room since I had not transferred out my photos, and I think my Mom wanted to view her Japan trip photos, which were on the same memory card in the camera. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Dad walking towards me while I was at camp. It was 4 hours till dismissal, we were all seated at the gallery and cheering, I think. Dad had actually tracked me down by asking people. He asked me if I had the camera with me, and where it was, because "Mom wants to see her photos". When I heard that, I almost lost my patience. I told him firmly to go home and wait for me to pass it to him.
I can't believe they couldn't even have waited 4 hours to see some photos! Later, when Dad left and reality started to sink in, I realised how upset I was. Mom made Dad drive all the way from AMK to Tampines just so she could see some photos.
This morning, I slept at 5.30am, so I slept till 12.30pm. Mom tried shouting at me, even calling my phone in a disgustingly desperate attempt to get the camera. It ruined a few hours, but I didn't let it ruin my day.
I don't know who is stupider- My Mom or my Dad.
There was some clubbing at the camp, too. They turned off the lights at the sports complex and played some loud music, and suddenly everybody went crazy. So did I, I'm afraid. We all just started jumping around to the music and dancing, flinging hair, shaking hips. My God, I must've looked idiotic. I am not a dancer. I repeat: I am not a dancer. I don't have smooth moves to show off, I'm just good enough to keep to the beat. It's a musical thing, really.
When it was over, we were all drenched in perspiration, literally dripping. I felt like I had just run a marathon, it was a good workout. Later, I found out that it only lasted for 1/2 an hour. I laughed my head off.
I was glad to sit alone, staring into space during the long bus ride home after the camp. I couldn't wait to get back to comfort- being able to use a toothbrush, being able to take long showers in a clean toilet, being able to wear unattractive but comfortable home clothes to sleep (on a bed!)... Being able to go online, being able to talk to my Love.
We got together two weeks ago, but made it official last night when I was talking to him. He just suddenly asked so formally, but sweetly. Since I was away at camp, I hadn't the chance to see him for 3 days, so you can imagine the surprise when it happened. Yes, these things are important to me.
Human relationships are fraught with all sorts of problems and complications. It's a learning journey, enjoyable and saddening, frightening and upsetting, exciting and disappointing. I am afraid of losing him, but I can't keep thinking about it this way. Have faith, Xiulin.
Orientation begins again tomorrow. I will be meeting people from my course. I only got to meet a year 3 senior from my course at the camp, so it seemed that none of the Biomed Sc freshies went for the overnight camp. I have this fear they'll be all-study-no-play-no-life, like the two girls who kept following us around. They discussed Physics before they went to sleep! I shall die if I end up surrounded, it's like being human in a zombie apocalypse.
I hope they release us at the stipulated time, I want to shower at school before going for choir practice. I shall smell like shampoo.
