back from UOC camp sounding like a TOAD.urgh.but not without enjoying myself.=) how i wish i'm still a freshieeeeeeeeeeeeee...

I have run out of adjectives and/or opening lines to describe how absolutely great an event was.

Before the camp, everyone was really worried. Central issue being what if the freshies, being too snug in their comfort zones, refused to budge, refused to attend with an open heart not to mention Mambo's going to have 17 freshies—largest in the entire M group (or UOC) history. By extension this would have led to a meaningless orientation. I believe most of us prayed really hard for this.

Mambo

okie. i can see that MOST mambo-ians arent clubbers/cheongsters. THIS IS GOOD. hahah~ that diminishes the possibility of potential organized clubbing sessions in the future-->meaning more attendable outings for yuzhe^^V. But wait. WHY, i ask with a Capital W, is that no one wants to believe me when i told them i dont club at all? i am seriously an inside out guai girl( and a nerd~ yeah~^^).

The games were alright I guess. Nothing particularly different from last year's games other than the additional candle fight and the fact that there were quite a few BLATANT cock ups. The candle fight was so exciting that it was unbelievable (there's some biasness in this statement)! Mambo nearly became the champion of that league game! Though the other group got a little WORKED UP… it's a good game. they are so QIANG~~ Denyse and i were practically hugging each other and jumping around like jelly beans (okay jelly beans don't jump..and I hope those weird glances from some random people were only my ILLUSION)when we knew that we got into the finals Woohoo~. And I saw Mambos cheering their hearts out. I saw the utter injection of soul. I saw them lifting their hands high up in esctacy. I saw a bunch of freshies jump in jubilation.

It was so touching. Not only because they fought hard for the game, but also coz of the spirit I saw in their eyes. =) but i got so depressingly BURNT in sentosa. at least 2 tones darker!! sobs.. this is of little link but i just wana whine abt it you see.

I think Mambo was really fun in 2nd half of the camp after stepping out of NTU(is it the NTU-thingy or wat~^^). Sure, there might have been individuals who were largely very solitary, but I think my experience might've totally been different had I been with a different group of freshies. Joel, Denyse, Jon, Alex long and short,shuting( the aunite^^), ronghsan, xiaowei, mabel, xu cheng and ivan. thanks for all. It was pleasant. And great fun. I think Joel and Denyse did an excellent job as GL and AGL at this camp. Kudos go out to them. They were the yuzhe-proclaimed worship leaders, and I'd be damned if I didn't admit they did a hell of a good job. haha I believe they managed to, successfully, draw the freshies out from their sheltered abodes of inactive silence. Oh oh oh oh also, Joel was supposed to send the contact details so I'm not involved. See I'm pragmatically responsibility-shirking.

Knowing my inability to stop the mouth from working, I actually have a ton more to say. But I'm seriously damn beat now. Actually I believe most of the Mambo-ians were horrendously tired, too tired to retaliate and falling asleep even after the M group traditional night of ice and water. .so i shall update again after another 10 hours of sleep. yawns.

Thanks Mambo i love ya.

"you walk like an European woman"

克拉玛头涟漪轩的古典气息、满地的星光和喷泉加上土耳其酒吧那阿拉伯一千零一夜式的门窗和灯饰使这句话显得格外诗意。所以,我最没有防备。European woman 好有味道的说法,很浪漫,很法国。我忍不住微笑。

“Where are you from?”
“i'm a local.you?”
“Greece”

希腊。好美丽的国家。爱琴海的子民,西方文化的摇篮。爱琴海。。多迷人的名字。。它蓝得像天使的眸子,它承载着恋人的泪水和满腹的故事荡漾千年。。那么。。那么那些喝着花蜜的众神, 在宙斯的领导下,在神秘又美丽的神殿里过着糜烂的生活。。是那么地有人性。。不。。比人还冷漠,却又热情如火。。

“it's so wonderful to be a greek”
“i'm aware of that. thank you”
“it's a great civilisation”
“yes, a place of Thales, Plato, Socrates and Aristotle”
“and Homer and Aristophanes”

他愉快地笑了。当然,他有理由这么做。希腊给予他太充分的理由了。

“would you like to have a drink?”

他指着天方夜谭的灯饰,微笑地说。

“我想我已经醉了。。”
“i beg your pardon?”
“oh.i'm sorry to decline your offer. but i'm meeting my friends.”

他失望了。不过马上很绅士地点点头,又恢复了柔和的微笑。这就是为什么女人为欧洲男士着迷吗?

“i see. it's ok. i hope to see you again.”
“oh really?”我有点感动。
“really. i hope to see you again.=)nice meeting you”
“oh i'm flattered.=) me too”

我们又互相微笑了一下,然后朝各自方向走去。
一场邂逅,因为而短暂美丽,因为夜晚而迷人。

“我希望我的天空变得很希腊”
友:“huh? what?”

“没什么”
