FOR ALL AKI KIDS!

Hey everyone!

Freshmen Orientation Camp (FOC), more fondly known as AKID, is here again! This year, our theme is EXPOSE! and the camp programme will be built around it.

We are currently trying to recruit OGLs, programmers, logistics I/Cs and video + photography geniuses to help make this camp come true. But many pple are 'blur' about what's going on, so this e-mail is meant to let you know the details in order for you to make an informed decision.

AKID'04 Camp
Date: 14 - 16 July '04, Wednesday to Friday
Venue: SDE (though some games will take the freshies out of school)
Pre-camp for OGLs will be held at the end of June or 1st week of July. It is meant to prep all OGLs for the camp.

FOC Main Committee
Overall Heads: Minghui (Aki) & Terence (ID)
Secretary: Tingting (Aki)
Treasurer: Jackson (ID)
Camp Heads: Shuyi (Aki) + Elias (ID)
Matriculation Heads: Kelly (Aki) + Alec (ID)
Canvassing Heads: Thanda (Aki) + Lijun (ID)
Publicity Heads: Pei-Yun (Aki) + Donn (ID)

FOC Committee Positions
Programmers (~12 needed)
Logistics (~3 needed)
Video-editing & Photography team (~4 needed)
OGLs (as many as possible)

=> These positions are not mutually exclusive. You can take more than one position and which position you want is up to you.
=> Please do not worry about your holiday schedule like working and overseas trips. We will try our best to accomodate them and work something out together. Workload will be delegated according to what you can cope with.

Job Scope
Essentially, programmers will be planning the details of the programme like ice-breakers, West Coast Park games, mini-critique, Round-Island and a night Flasher game. They'll have to try out the games themselves to make sure it works. What determines the success of the camp depends on the creativity of the programmers. We'll require programmers to meet up once in a while to work together. This will be on top of the pre-camp.

Logistics I/Cs will be finding the most suitable locations for games, washing-up and sleeping area. Liasing with the admin office is expected too. They will have to check out locations to make sure they work for the specific programme.

We'll be capturing moments of the camp on video + photos to present as a clip for the finale of the camp. It will be made into a commemorative CD for the freshies & the entire FOC comm. So the video + photog team will be rostered to capture moments at strategic timings and locations, then weave them into a clip.

As for OGLs, do we need to say more? You are there to have fun together with the freshies! Bring them through the camp, enthuse them and perhaps share your sentiments about aki. OGLs are crucial to to the 'spirit' of the camp! While we will allocate some OGLs to be game station I/Cs, everyone will have an OG to belong to. OGLs will have to attend precamp to familiarise themselves with the programme.

Pseudofreshies are seniors who pose as blur freshies. They are there to hype things up. It's an exciting job but it is more challenging than the other positions as you must try to keep your cover. That means if you have juniors or friends that are joining architecture next academic year, you better not be a pseudo. Presently, we will not allocate pseudofreshies until we have sufficient OGLs. In fact, we may be selecting pseudos from the people who sign up as OGLs.

Alright. That sums up what there is to know about AKID04. If you have any enquiries, feel free to ask any of us.

well... actually, i miss all my jc friends n ny friends too. i cant wait for exams to end n holidays to come! this hols, i gotta plan it well and make sure every minute is well spent coz (damn) rag will take away 80% of my free time!

okie... back to my genes and society... i've to use this module to remedy my cap which is likely to be 3.3 (?) now. frown!

there's this fella's blog i came across while surfing... coincidentally his nick is chunky. his blog is really nice. so many features. photos, links, a cool mouse pointer that i had so much fun playing with. hmmm maybe i should ask him how to do all that cool stuff

i screwed up my ar1326 and bu1481 papers

i left only 15min for my last 2 questions in AR1326. equivalent to doing half the paper in 2hr 15m and the other half in 15min. how brilliant huh.

bu1481.... as usual didn't study.... i had no idea what the questions were asking. this is the paper which i have crapped the most in my entire studying life. i was simply spinning storied for the marker to read. how dumb... sheesh....
and i still have 13 lectures to watch for geog.... terrible....

suddenly the blog design fits so well

don't do that at a funeral
don't do that at a museum
don't do that at a hospital
don't do that at a airplane
don't do that at a pool
don't do that at a customs

and here i am posting again.... attempting to pysche myself to study. guess what, i haven't started studying.. AT ALL. if i tell this to pple, they'll bring out the hwa chong thing and say we like to lie to get ahead. but hey, watch it man!

well, back to the topic of psyching... i must study... i screwed up my exams last sem. i mustn't do so this time again. PLEASE be more motivated. stop treating it like a freak holiday to go to the movies and shop. study study study study.....

then the topic of HOW to study... i was just pondering abt that... and i realise i have no clue as how to study! make notes??? i'm not too sure if i have the time~ i am damn worried abt geography. not my forte.... archi construction and building science is pretty screwed... how to study is a big issue. building science my lab report is a definite C thanks to my wonderful responsible bre grpmates. thanks guys, i love u all soo much.. u add so much spice in my life.

'nuff bitching. time to bomb more battleships in my game before starting on my geography again. i have 13 lectures to go....

went out with freddie today, had buffet at edo sushi (yum!) she struck me with her advice: dun react. as long as it does not affect you, dun care, it's not your business. she also reminded me there is nothing wrong to be competitive. even overcompetitive is justified. as long as it does not mean that the person does not resort to undespicable means.

well... as much as it's kinda warped in relation to my principles, i have to admit it is true. i shouldn't be bothered with so many things. why do i laden myself with such cares and worries when it really does not affect me, logically speaking. perhaps not caring, doing less, worrying less, be more focused (note: not selfish) will be my salvation to this less than wonderful semester.
