DAy 2 of the camp...

I arrived a little later..at about 7.25 am. Found some of my friends chatting...as usual Cheng Ying was busy milking his laptop. He even brought it to SPH on the first day. Then after a while, almost everyone else arrived: Zhe Kai, Matthew, Chu Jie.

then mr heng stopped by to chat with us, and i saw he was holding a blue ipod nano. which WAS the same as mine. not anymore, if you know what i mean. long stories.

All of us were getting a tad paranoid cos Mr Shah hadn't arrived, and without him we cldn't get the bus to take us to SPH. At last, he arrived. And about 5 minutes later we hopped onto the bus.

It was the same repertoire we went thru for Day 1. At once, the guys went to have breakfast..a few people from some schools were already there...it felt like we were in a hotel or smth.

Well, they didn't have brownies that time, but they had Sailesh's favourite. She called them ice-cream pies (which i found cute.), i called them profiteroles. And yeah, they were profiteroles, i confirmed it by looking at the label.

We've a long story about the profiteroles, whether they were filled with custard or ice-cream.

ANYHOOS.

First ,we played some games, initiated by the lovely Kristie. We had another scavenger hunt, for which we had to find lots of hard-to-find stuff. weird, i know.

it was just to warm us up..we didn't come to sph to play games.

FIRST, we made a sort of EXCURSION to the SPH PRINT CENTRE. That's where The Straits Times, Life! and all the other papers get printed out.

I think this is an old press?

medals, awards, woot!

then we went for a talk in the auditorium. oldy mouldy boring talk. i mean, it's more of action that you'd wish to see right? then there was this video of nivedha pissing us off and sailesh and i getting irritated but i deleted that thing. cldn't be bothered to keep viewing it.

each piece of paper goes through this process four times, one time for each of the colours : cyan, magenta, yellow,black. i think so, because i was too hyper to notice what was going on.

People working on the layouts of the pictures.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH WAS WHEN but i think we went for a tour of the newsroom, then the radiostations.

going off to the newsroom.

beautiful wall at the reception.

i've been to sph like 6 times and i still don't know what this is called. oh yeah, it's the time capsule. THE time capsule.

gigantic stapler i saw.

it is for me, babe.

ah..this chair holds weird memories..cos that's where i sat like a freaked out bunny before my interview.

the first issue of T.S.T.

HAH television sets.

fter we came back to SPH, we went for a tour of the radio stations owned by SPH, Radio 91.3.

Those are the computers where all the SMSes come in.

seriously, support them. they're as good as mediacorp, k.


We got to see Rod Monteiro, Andre and Audrey from 91.3 fm..they were waving to us from their studio. guess what? We also got to see Jeremy Ratnam, the one with the fantastic voice. He was explaining to us that Rod, Andre and Audrey were preparing for their show at 5pm. It was super cool to watch them in action.

and then we got to see paul twohill. to cut a long story short, we had a great time and i'm sure lots of people lost their voices cheering and screaming for him.

APOLOGIES , but i'm pressed for time, and i have not got the right htmlthingamajigdafgdhfhj put in (thanks, renee.), so i can't put up too many pictures. god knows what people might do with the pictures. i don't mean pictures of paul. i mean of sph and all.

i'm in a bad mood. i type crappy posts. self-humiliating myself. GAH whatever. i'm busybusybusybeebeebeegagaga.

ok that was sheer crap.

tons of overdue posts, seriously.

i'd been spending my time at s'pore poly/school/home last week.

sorry guys.
