not to be missed

Dear Campers,

It's less than a week to camp and I'm sure all of you are counting down the days till the fun! Some of you have been asking about the packing list, and I'm so proud of myself for being able to procure that for you guys:D The nice CAC people have been dropping me hints and I just 'borrowed' this list of paper from them:

Also, if you have not gotten your indemnity forms and swimming declaration forms, please go to http://tinyurl.com/freshiedocs and download them now!

Looking forward to seeing everybody soon!

XOXO, me

Count down!

Dear Camper-to-be,

There are three kinds of people in the world. At least, among those who read this blog.

Firstly, there are those who have already signed up for the camp and are eagerly anticipating it's arrival. CONGRATULATIONS! You are on your way to making new friends, playing wacky games and immersing into student life. Not to mention the prizes that are up for grabs.

Secondly, there are those who are still thinking about signing up for the camp. CONGRATULATIONS TOO! Because you are one step closer to becoming a camper! To help you make your decision without giving too much of the program away, here are a few things you can look forward to: Introductory lessons to different dance styles, Beach games, Running Man, Mystery Night, and many more! Theres an exciting program linedup for you and I wish I could tell you everything but that would just spoil your fun! SO DON'T HESITATE. Sign up today!

Thirdly, theres a group of you who think that CAC camp isn't for people like you. But somehow you like reading our blog (thank you very much, by the way). Let me share with you, I thought CAC wasn't for me either, because I thought cultural activities was Boring with a capital B. But I gave it a shot. And let me tell you, a good mantra to have is "give it a shot". Because you never know that it's not for you till you try it. Maybe you're a sports person, or a quiet person and the performing arts doesn't seem like your 'type'. Who knows? Maybe you'll uncover your hidden talents, or even if you don't, I'm sure you'll have fun in the process and you can be proud of yourself for stepping out of your comfort zone:D

Looking forward to seeing the 5000 readers the counter says this blog has.

You heard it here first.

XOXO, me

The President Shares

Every year, CAC organise one of the few Cross Faculty Camps in NUS prior to freshies' matriculation. In NUS, we all learn to be independent with our academic excellence and personal growth. More often than not, university's culture is so drastically different from what one would experience before in their lives that adapting to NUS may take some time and effort. Hence, your seniors dedicate themselves to holding a social camp for you to make you feel welcome, to make you feel at home with us at NUS. There is much to learn and one of the easier ways to grab onto the fast train of NUS life is to make new friends and learn from your seniors.

CAC Social Camp is different from your normal faculty camps in that ours is a cross faculty one. You will meet fellow freshmen and seniors from different disciplines with different experiences. You will know more people and learn about cultures and module knowledge beyond your own faculty, an essential part of your NUS life. In NUS, cross discipline academia is emphasised and it is always good to know people from FASS, Engineering, Science, Computing and so on. Networking too has never been more important in this day and age.

There are many paths you can take in NUS. You can focus on your academia and shun a social life and possibilities of multi disciplinary growth. Or, you can take charge of your life, your learning, your social circle and your growth. It takes just one step to venture into the unknown. With us at CAC, you will not only know new friends or gain knowledge about surviving university life. You will realise that you will open up, and explore many possibilities beyond this camp and its participants.

I hope to see you there. Keep an open mind, juniors.

P.S. do drop me a mail or message (get my number from my committee) if you have any questions. I'll be more than glad to help you.

a little tidbit

Hello friends! I'm so excited I simply can't hold it in! Camp is in about 11 days and here I was thinking: "those CAC people are sure to keep their cards closer to themselves, i won't be able to find anything to tell my readers!" But I guess some committee members are just as careless as ever.

I was walking out of the CAC clubroom when this phone caught my eye: HTC WILDFIRE S! The phone I've always wanted to get. So being the little busy body i am, I picked up to test it's functions:D

see, such a beauty isn't it?:D

Anyway, I flipped the unlock button and guess what I saw?!?!?! Nah, words won't do it justice. Read it for yourself!

exciting, no? I'm eagerly anticipating the mystery night whatever that is, and to see all the counselors in action too!

On another note, my insider whispered to me that the subclubs like jazz and salsa are all ready and jazzed up (pardon the pun) to impart their skills and show off their talents! Hasta La Vista!

It all sounds so exciting! So don't wait! Click the link by the side to let the committee know of your interest and intents today!

you heard it from me first!

faster than you can say...

The most AMAZING thing has just happened to yours truly!! While snooping around for the latest piece of gossip for YOU guys to sink your teeth into, my informant passed me a crumpled and soggy piece of paper. Talk about EWWWW. Not wanting to get caught, i dashed to my secret lair and tried not to get my hands dirty. Was it worth it? I'll let you be the judge:D Because this was what was on the piece of paper:

Dear Diary,

I just had the most awesome day! The sun, the sea, the sand, the friends added up to so much fun! I just KNOW that the freshies are gonna enjoy their camp as much as I enjoyed the day at Sentosa, in spite of being dunked in seawater:S Things are looking good; we've had most of our sponsors replied us! I know that the campers are gonna have an awesome time with loads of goodies in store. Sure makes me wish I could be a camper again.

Yours Only,

_e_ _c_ _

And thats where it got interesting! probably due to the seawater, the person's name was smudged! I could barely make out two letters from the name. But no matter. Leave it in my hands and I'll figure out who the diary entry belongs to faster than you can say "RUMOUR HAS IT".

Got you excited? Well, sign up today! All of us here at camp XOXO can't wait to meet you guys!

you heard it here first!

XOXO, me

fun in the sun!

We took a little trip to the beach to get a sneak peak at what you guys are in for!
