Amazing Midnight Camp

Just came back from this AMAZING camp yesterday...
this is the camp organised by NYP International Student Club..so 99% of the participants are foreigners like me + 1% Singaporean participants who rather themselves to be another nationalities(haha...just kidding)
I was lucky to be allocated to the group 3 which was named later by us Three-ster...
My group members of 9 including me made up of 8 Malaysians and 1 Taiwanese..
We have came up with our very own group cheer which was:
eins, zwei, drei (one,two,three in German) Three-ster!
eins, zwei, drei Three-ster!
Wu HA Wu Ha HA~
OHh~~~~Three-ster!!!

I had a whale of time during the camp...
From the 1st game which was station games to finding the so-called murderer throughout the midnight until early morning..From Fashion Show(wedding gowns design using newspaper etc etc) to water games...I really enjoyed myself to the fullest!!
We were then given small pieces of paper to write encouraging words,our personal details bla bla bla(up to us) to anyone attending the camp...When I went home and opened up my envelope and read all the encouraging words from my fellow group-mates,camp-mates and facilitators,it somehow energised me although i had not been sleeping for more than 24 hours..
From this camp,I learnt about team-work,co-operation,leadership,friendshipness and many other experiences that i will never gain from books...
Thanks NYP for having so many activities held for us to learn things from different perspective of life...
NYP life is really great!

Still cant forget the fact that i did badly in Engineering Mechanics common test..

now then only I realise the difference between secondary studies and tertiary studies...
In tertiary studies you will find a lot of people who may not do well in secondary studies but do prettily well in tertiary studies..this is because they are taking the course that they are interested in and talented in..
It is really high competence here..
Im no longer the top student...
There are a bunch of people in my course that are doing better than me in the common test..
Anyway I will keep driving myself to put my best foot forward in every exams..
Life isn't just about doing well in exam..
I want to indulge in more activities that will teach me more things about life..
I shall not take examination too much to my heart now...
I want to be more all-rounded=)

how time flies...
I have been studying in Singapore for almost 3 months now...
i just had my common test 2 weeks ago..which carries about 20-30% weightage of the semestral exam result..Results have been given and i did well in some modules but sadly did quite bad in one of the module--Engineering mechanics...my grade for the module is out of my expectation and frankly it is very dissapointing!!!
I know it is useless to cry over a spilt milk..i have already tried my best for every modules!
Yet reality is sometimes the opposite of what we want it to be..
From now on I will strive even harder for the semestral exam that will be coming in 2 months time..hopefully everything will be okay!
