Life In Medicine

Wow I just got back from med.i.camp... Probably the most fun time I'll have in a camp this year... Cos the rest were all army camps. Lol.

I'm slowly getting into the idea that I'm not an NSman anymore... At least for the next 5-6 years or so. It's nice to be a civilian again.

Last week I went for the NUS medical checkup at UHWC, and I met Mok (Ying Ren) during the process, and it so happened that we were going in the same direction (I was going home and he was going to RJ) so we both boarded bus 151 from the bus stop just outside the Yusoff Ishak House and guess what we saw...
No, I'm not kidding. That's the interior of an SBS bus. Seriously. Recognise the TVMobile at the top right hand corner of the picture? (I must apologize for the poor quality of pictures by the way, it was taken with my handphone camera on an incredibly shaky bus) Yes. Mok and I were absolutely shocked. Hahaha... I mean, we just stared agape at the interior design and it took us a while for us to make it to our seats. I mean, look at this!

And this!!! (that's Mok cam-whoring by the way... Hahaha :P)

See? I included BOTH TVMobile screens in this picture this time. Hahaha. It was so cool man, and Mok and I were the only people who seemed flabbergasted by that display. The others on the bus were totally unfazed! Haha... Talk about interior designing...

Med.i.camp was an incredibly fun experience, I made many new friends (although this batch of med students are FILLED with RJ students). My OG Eredar is damn funny, our motto is "there's no shame in sucking" cos we like lost almost every game in the camp haha... But we did achieve the purpose of the camp, and that was to have fun no matter what. I doubt many other OGs can boast that. Too bad I didn't take my camera along to take shots during the camp, but I did manage to grab some photos from Diana on the last day (my phone died and I couldn't use the camera lol). The night before, I was one of the few people who actually got more than 2 hours of sleep (ok actually, I got like 8-9 hours of sleep heeheehee, which was why I was awake enough to snap these...)
That's Celeste in the foreground... And from left to right on the sofa, Jaryl, Peter and Darren. Peter was like swaying from left to right, (much like Mr. Bean in the church episode) fast asleep.
This is a bird's-eye-view of everyone lol...

And this is the grandest picture of them all!!! Hahaha... Taoni was the only one who didn't sleep a wink at all the previous night. Wahaha.

I must really say much thanks to Glorijoy and Jonk who made me realize that despite 4 years of photography in school, I've not progressed much in the art. Somehow I got lost along the way taking all those events and photographs, I lost the true art and skill of photography, and have forgotten what I learnt during the photography camps in RI... So I've decided to make full use of my camera and my skills from now on, starting tomorrow. Woohoo I'm going to take night shots with Jon Teo till like 12am haha. Hopefully I'll recreate my style of shooting and learn something new along the way.

Last thing I wanna say before I close this post, I wanna thank all the fabulous OGLs and OG mates for such a wonderful and enjoyable med.i.camp! Thanks to Yao Chen, Li Jia, John and John, (haha) E'Ching, En Qi, Michelle, Denise and Zhi Yong for being such sporting and brotherly/sisterly OGLs, and thanks to Zhun Rui, Jaryl, Taoni, MJ, Peter, Darren, Alvin, Yu Xuan, Celeste, Diana, Gilliane, Beatrice, Glorijoy, Yi En, Ling Xing (I think... sorry!) Yu Kit, and anyone else whom I so stupidly and forgetfully left out (don't worry I'll add it in once I remember :D). There's no shame in sucking!!!
