Oikos: The Escapade marked the first of a double-header of camps within the span of 1 week for me (SMUX Camp started on Wednesday and overlapped with the last day of Oikos). Had a good mix of people in my Breakfast at Tiffany’s group (the group name was assigned to us… we had no say).

Overall, not too bad. A typical orientation camp, with the necessary bonding games on the first day (pass the donut, feed the tau huey etc…) to break the ice and gel the group. Of particular note was a mass ice-breaker game, Burst Those Balloons, which was rather fun. The momentum was broken abit somewhat by an academic talk in the afternoon, but the bonding games resumed after that with Makansutra, where we went to various eating places around SMU.

2nd day was all Sentosa. Had a good time out in the sun, getting dirty, sandy, and burnt! Station games were good, proud to say we won the Tug of War! Night activities consisted of a buffet dinner, performance night (as usual) and stage games.

In terms of wildness, alcohol, partying, and general chaotic behaviour, Bondue (School of Business Freshmen Camp) sure laid the smackdown on Oikos. This camp was comparatively tame (trust me, my SMUX group tried to crash Bondue Run 2 on their 2nd night, and the Business freshies were havoc!) for which I am thankful. I had no intention of getting drunk, wasted, and high (which was the state of 90% of Bondue freshies on the 2nd night).

Thanks to our facis, who were great! Kudos to Farhan and Adele!

Not much else to say, other than that I’ll be meeting most of my group mates around school (we’re all Econs freshies after all). Probably in classes and possibly as project mates.
