Insinyur

It has been a while.... quite a while.
Here i am, trying to clear up the mess in my room with musics from beyonce and james morrison keeping me company. I went through the pile of papers and files stacked at a corner of the room. A wipe across them reveals all the dust that has gathered. God knows how long it has been since i touched them. At the corner of the pile, a large birthday card caught my eye. Picking it up, it says happy double 2 Houquan. A card hand made by my group of friends, by grimmjaws, my insinyur OG. Going thru it makes me nostalgic. Images of my memories flashes across my mind, a smile came across my face. It was good, the memories were good.

I still remember that day, lumbering my big bag across boon lay MRT station to look for daniel (the GL that called me). I joined up my group at a corner of the bus station. Everything feels so strange. Sitting in a corner, the GLs tried their might to get everyone to break the ice. I was never good with opening myself up to people who i dont know. I guess that was the start that changed me. We started out slowly, it isnt easy to get everyone to go all high and hyper immediately. But things got better as days pass by. We started to talk, started to joke and started to enjoy ourselves. We did alot of silly things, ran across little india like it was our playground, made a fool out of ourselves during camp fire but it was all pure fun. Camp ended as suddenly as it started.

Everyone started sch and soon there was the recruitment for the following year's subcommittee. I wasnt really that enthusiastic in the first place but i found myself in the programmer grp under Joon hoong. Then thats how it is and how i continue to give and contribute towards insinyur even after my first camp. This time round it was different. It was easier for me to mix around as i already had friends in there. I gave it my all durng the camp and i was rewarded with as much as i gave. I got the best programmer award (dont ask me how i got it, i dont know it either:p), i got new friends(my programmer grp and sauron) and the best of all, i got fabulous memories. I start to find myself loving insinyur more. :)

Camps start and end in a blink of an eye. Soon i found myself going for the interview for the MP post and found myself getting it. This marks the start of Insinyur 08/09. I find myself with a bunch of fun loving of programmers working under me, a great buddy, lixing, work alongside with, a great main committe to be in. Not matter how tiring, how much hiccups and obstacles we are thrown with, we had fun. We gave it our all to make the camp successful and fun filled. Just so that we can have more happy memories to bring home with, just so that people who take part in the camp will feel the same as we do.Just so that people can say Insinyur is fun, insinyur is where great memories are made.

Camp ended faster than the previous 2 camps. I find myself feeling empty. Its like a part of me had died with the end of the camp. i tried to find things to do but it didnt really help much. I guess insinyur is a part of me now. Regardless of whether there is one last insinyur for me or not. The memories i had will be treasured and this i am sure, they wont be taken away.. =D
