Since I came back from France, I have been making regular trips back to Singapore. I find that the holidays are indeed much busier than during the semester. But I have a feeling that I'm going to take back my previous statement about the holidays being busier because I'm about to go through my final year in NUS.
Yes, I've been anticipating attending lectures in English! I want to have the free time during the semester! I have only bidded for 3 modules in CORS. But I need to wait for my results in France to determine whether I still need to take that particular module. My friend just told me he failed the module. So, I have a feeling I failed too because I was in the same project group and both of us did practically nothing for it.
Next week I shall officially move in to Temasek hall and stay there during the week. No more making trips to Singapore and coming back to JB.

Updates..
I went for my first and last VCF Freshman Orientation Camp (FOC) last week. I was quite sick then. While I was signing up for it I was secretly hoping that they would not allow me to attend the camp coz I was having sore throat and flu. Now the camps have a lot of H1N1 regulations. Haha, the only reason I attended this camp was because I was in the exco.
The first day was not that bad. When I just arrived, I was wearing the wrong color. Apparently the OGLs are supposed to tell the group wat color to wear, I didnt receive the sms (Well, it was because I signed up on a Friday and the camp starts the following Monday) So, I was in brown when everyone else was in black.
But somehow on of the OGL recognised me and said "you're Victor right?" I was a bit surprised, the OGLs dun have my name in the group. Somehow, she said you were in Anntic camp right? Haha...Not bad people actually do recognise me =) Anyways, she also shared once during the sharing that anntic camp was quite good. Haha...I guess I'll share this with the next anntic comm people.
Anyways, I met my 2 of my exco members during the icebreaker games in the camp. One of them was like "Oh! So you're the Victor in Exco!!". Well that is because I never attended a single exco meeting till now.
So, during the games sessions, I was like playing like crazy. Our group actually did cheers. I was quite high also while playing hai dai hai dai. The trick was to shout super loud and scare the other party. So I tried and I shouted quite loud at my OG mates. Then they made me a secret weapon and wanted to play me against girls only. Then, when my turn came to play with a girl, the girl in the opposite girl told me to be gentlemanly. And everyone won against me coz when I couldnt bear to shout at those girls coz they look so small and fragile. LOL....
I learnt quite alot from the freshies during the discussion sessions. They were so optimistic and so idealistic. Yup, I got to learn more from their positive outlook. They all seem so eager to enter their uni life and live it for God. If only I had their convictions. hahaha...
For the last day of the camp, I participated in the group skit. I was told to be dressed as a muscle man. It was quite embarassing. I really didnt want to do it. But some some voice was telling me, "just try it once. It is your last chance coz it is your final year". Usually, I always play a low profile part in my skit. Haha...although embarrassing our group won and because we had family values in our skit.
Yup, I can say in this camp, I bonded quite well with my groupmates. Looks like in the end, although I went to the camp reluctantly, I left it reluctantly also. Haha.. I had fun.
PS: Ok I've updated my blog, now it is your turn =)
