So... It was barely a day ago when i had completed my 30 hr famine camp. 30 hrs w/o food. Can U imagine urself going on such a quest? Surviving only on plain water and a few packets of sugared drinks to keep us alive. This is nothing compared to the starvation and poverty that the people in Mongolia, Cambodia, Eutopia and many other parts of the world are experiencing.



After a terribly messy start, we got to our activites which were lessons on poverty, hunger and AIDS. Lectures, experiential activites and disccussions took us all the way to 9. The more memorable ones were the setting up of the shelters we were suppose to sleep in. With only cardboxes, sticks and sheets all thrown in a heap. Our teamleaders had to fight for these resources and it helped tt he was a rugger. haha. Coped alot of stuff. The other one was the 'piggy-back-and-take-water' activity. lol. Fun. =D



Thanks zk for bringing me to tt 'secret shower place'. haha. v.little ppl and only 2-4 grps of ppl knew of its existence, so didnt hv to rush and fight for the shower cubicles or share them like those gays back in NP. yuks. NP rox la. Their facilites are a million times better then AJ's. Swimming pool. convention hall, massive campus area etc.



Day 2...newspaper collection. Nothing much. Spent an hr plus waiting for the truck to collect our newspapers. By then alot of ppl were overcomed with exhaustion and slept at the void deck waiting for tt illustrious truck to arrive.



Gorged down my food during the break fast then left with the class to go to sm food centre and shared a plate of carrot cake with debbie. Top up with a big glass of sugar cane juice, aHhhh.... it was heaven to feel what it is like to be full again =D



Made a quite a few friends like Shi xiang, Jeremy,the dotA expert, Rong Sheng etc. yup. To my C-18 ppl, had a nice time with u all, see ya all in AJ soon =)

Credits and note from the designer

Designer Eric Sim
Brushes Hybrid Genesis and Eric Sim

Features an abstract- floral digital artwork drawn by me in photoshop. This layout is appropriate for all genders. The grandiose design is laid freely on a simple canvas and they complement each other pretty well. The sudden gradient change is applied to create one contrasting element. I created a 3D effect on the vines and they seem to jut out of the yellow canvas. Why the name? The design, as you can see, is abstract and it gives a double-vision feel, therefore, Esophoria, a tendency to squint your eyes inward to create a double vision.
