Us again!
Okay, actually we really meant for it to be male-oriented, which doesn't make sense considering the male population coming into CS. OOPS. It's for the guys anyway, but the girls might find it useful.
1. Get Together
The CS camp is a chance for all of you to get together before starting school. Therefore we need you to bring what you would bring when you go to a big get together. Enthusiasm. Big smiley faces. Plenty of rah-rah. Your showmanship. The shyness and awkwardness can be funny, but on the whole leave your self-consciousness at home. Also would be nice - cold jokes, lame games and a bottle of pi pa gao. There's gonna be cheering, you know it, and at 111 freshies for FOC, we're expecting the walls of the school to crack a little more.
2. Lovestoned
We've heard that the girls this year at camp are.... wooooaaaaaah. Girls have been known to be more critical judges of other females, but it seems that our freshies have met those standards. Don't come here to be love. Stoned. Our advice? Induce nosebleed yourselves so that you don't do it during camp. Look at lots of pretty-girl photos until you become numb to them. You want to play it cool when you see them in the skin, not have so much drool on the floor till we have to squeeze 111 people on the benches to have lunch.
3. Labels or Love
Some people make the mistake of wearing their best shizzle during the camp. Don't. Keep all your nice stuff for school proper. Bring plenty of your crappiest bought-from-Thailand singlets (yah, the Singha beer one), school based T-shirts (that leadership camp from P6), and sports shorts (OK lah this one can be branded but then Nike and Adidas isn't really branded, just don't wear white). Leave the looking good for the seniors this time round at least. It's our chance to show-off our D&G, Jimmy Choos and CKs.
4. Everybody (Backstreet's Back)
This is important. Go learn all the songs that have appeared on the Top 100 End of Year Charts from 1995-2002. CS people have a propensity of breaking out into old songs. RETRO is INNO! If you're going to live to influence culture, you've first got to get it in you, know it and breathe it. And what better way than to find out what we all had in common than through the songs of the past millenium. Hit me baby one more time!
5. Ayo Technology
As you've heard - leave your valuables at home. All your latest tech gadgets and all. Uh. We're going to save you and give you a week's break from MSN-ing, Facebook-ing, blog-ging, while at the same time go cold turkey ourselves. Urgh.
6. Don't Let Me Be the Last To Know
As with anywhere else, but especially in CS, it's all about the people you know. Because we're all fantastically friendly and helpful, all it takes is knowing our names and we'd help you out with whatever you're struggling with (actually we just want to here about your girl issues). In addition, having a good ear (and a roving eye) for gossip is important. It gives you endless topics to discuss with your fellow freshies and a chance to bitch about us seniors who'll be too flustered preparing for the camp. Start by knowing all the seniors who're involved on facebook and this blog. Knowing the names of all the soccer players playing at Euro is fantastic, but it'll be great if you know ours too!
7. I Got It From My Mama
Hit the gym. There's less than 2 weeks. It might help you fill that T-Shirt from Threadless. Since when is looking lean and mean a minus? Superficiality aside (though we are betting the senior girls would be the ones drooling if someone of that calibre accidentally lost his shirt during the err... games), we have also heard (we're just GLs, we don't know about the games either, we ain't programmers. don't ask us what's coming up next either. we don't know. anything.) that some of the activities actually require... heavy-lifting.
8. Dance Dance
If you've got two left feet, get the extra one corrighted. The organisers frequent the floors of Zouk and you can be sure that they'll want to dance. WIth them. For them. Youtube Justin Timberlake and Usher. Spend a couple of hours everyday because you still have at least 10. Everyone appreciates a fierce dancer.
9. Can't Get You Outta My "Bed"
You might be on holiday and everything. Life's fantastic. You sleep and wake up when you want. We promise, with absolutely niceness, that we're going to screw your bio-clock so bad, you can't tell night from day. However, before you come for camp, get like 50% more sleep the week before. There's sure to be adrenalin but we don't want it to wear you out before we've had the chance! So. To bed, to bed before we knock you on the head.
10. Get UR "Gentlemen" On
Girls make fantastic leaders and all but they aren't going to be the ones carrying along a backpack that has the whole OG's valuables (Jason - 27 ppl's stuff instead of 20!) in it. Step up, help your OGLs. Show the manly... macho side. Look after the girls, because there are just so many of them. No matter what they say about equality, they enjoy a bit of something special, just as much as we think that they're special if they don't expect it. Unlike when you're in NS, please volunteer when we need someone to bring in the lunch, when we need someone to clean up, when we need people to do forfeits in case we lose... we promise it'll be a... saucy one.
And that's it. Okay lar this is all FOR FUN, take it all with a bucket of salt and don't take offence at all the nonsense. We'll see you... 7th July.
XOXO
In All Hawtness, Jason and Vanessa
