earlier this year

 I partake in a Muslim-event conducted by NUS called 'the hunger games',
partly because, school's over (TP) and there's nothing much to do.
So why not I go out and meet new people and do things.

The event was great, although there are MANY areas for improvement.
Well...I wouldn't say I enjoyed the event heaps and loads.

It was fun, just fun.

Because there was dragon boat (more like mass kayaking), I pictured dragon boat as regatta-style boat (like how it's done yearly by TP during FO) but nope, its a big kayak where 10 people are being fitted in with short oars.

Anyways, 'kayaking' was fun, and interesting and physically draining.
I was bummed half-way because I scraped my thumb against the oar and boat and it bleed, and it hurts, and I don't feel like rowing anymore. So what the hell. I swear I'm not dead everytime.

The people....

So, in our group, aside from the friends I know, there were a few strangers who became our group members.
They're cool, and too enthu.
Not that there's any problem with being enthusiastic.

But apparently, I do.

From previous experiences, I've came to dislike overly enthusiastic people. Like dude, we need time to ice-break, let's play an ice-breaking game or to before delving straight into making a cheer (or more like practicing the cheer you've enthusiastically created beforehand).

From my previous experience, these overly enthusiastic people would make me sin by going 'hey guys! c'mon!" during a race or whatnot when everyone's tired. Don't they read the atmosphere? I sin because in return, I let out a string of curses under my breathe at them

I feel bad, because one of our friends told the two facilitators that me and my friends are a friendly and rowdy bunch. And they were initailly worried on how to clique with us. haha.

But on that day, we were like.......an antisocial, dead bunch. I feel so sorry them. I swear we're not like that all the time.

For me, there are some kind of people whom I just can't clique with? I don't know. People are trying to be friendly by being super innovative and active but I sorta like reject them because they make me feel awkward and make it super hard for me to get used to them and make me feel ...less oblidge to talk to them and be chill and fun with them.

Like for example:

Enthusiastic person: Lets do intro!
me: okay
Enthusiastic person: Cool! what's your name and where are you from?
me: *awkward intro's*
Enthusiastic person: That's cool!  How about you?!?!
next person: *awkward intro's*
Enthusiastic person: Great! We're gunna win this game yeah!!??!?!
me: errr....yeah! *awkward*
Enthusiastic person: OH OH OH GUYS HAVE YOU GUYS THOUGHT ABOUT A CHEER FOR OUR GROUP!??!?!?
me: err nope.
Enthusiastic person: LET'S THINK OF SOMETHING!...............

/now, let me applaud you/


Like for example:
Enthusiastic person: hey! let's make a cheer!!!
me: okay
Enthusiastic person: what's your idea!?!?!
me: hmmm...anything's fine
Enthusiastic person: actually i've planned this at home....so how about *insert a complete cheer* !?!??!?!
me: errrr...okay *puts off*




Once, I tried to suggest a cheer. in english. But they didn't accept it, so I didn't bother to suggest any anymore. Enthusiastic people.

Oh f.y.i, all of the cheers are in Malay, not that I'm not used to it, but it felt weird, feels so secondary school, so nostalgic, so ......i'm sorry.....so lame.
Don't get me wrong, I love irsyad's cheer.
Because they used informal malay.
This group used formal malay in a cheer. So that's....weird.




Anyways, a few months has past, and we're not in contact anymore. So yeah.
No hard feelings.

Pointless blog.
Whatever.
