They'd go up to the mic one by one and be given a word to spell and if it was right, they'd take a seat on stage. BUT IF IT'S WRONG, they walk off stage and back into the audience. SO DRAMATIC YES I KNOW RIGHT!!!
Seriously, I applaud these kids! They really have guts to stand up on stage and spell. I'm a horrible speller so it's like impossible for me! I don't even think I could get pass round 2?
On Saturday, Yggdrasil met up for a day of fun at Marina Barrage! It was alright. Thankfully the weather wasn't blazing hot. It was actually quite cool and extremely windy!
We reported at Marina Bay MRT at 11am and then took a bus to Marina Barrage!
Pic with Wenn Hao at the station!
Spectacular view from the Barrage!
The place was practically crawling with Ngee Ann students haha! Everyone else brought picnic mats but my group cleverly forgot. SIGH! I'll just insert some visuals now :)
Kass <3
Around 5ish it started to rain boohooo so we all headed to Vivocity and had Carl's Jr for dindinz!
That's about it for the day! Wasn't very eventful! Sorry that my posts have been all about the Freshmen Orientation Camp 2013 haha!
Camp ended about 4 days ago and I still couldn't shake off how much I missed it. I missed everything. The cold hard wooden floor upon which we slept on. The surprisingly yummy food. And the exciting activities carefully put together by an amazing team of seniors. However, what I missed most was the company. Hence, when my group leaders informed me that there was a Bragi (aka my group in camp in case you haven't read my previous post) outing, I hastily said "I'M IN".
Yesterday's outing was held at Marina Square which was an ideal location as it has pool tables, a bowling alley and a cinema! Bravesto (my amazeballs subgroup) decided to play pool while waiting for the movie Snitch to start. (I'll talk about the movie later.. 3 words: OH MY GAWD)
The place was pretty much swarming with Ngee Ann Poly students. Yup, everyone in the background of the above picture was from Bragi. Also, please ignore the bromance going on there.... Hahaha.
With Gladys and Wenn Hao :)
Arief!

With Ama!
Cray cray Kassandra who also brought us yummy awfully chocolate brownies and this creamy butterscotch thing. SINFUL SINFUL but thanks gurl! We love you :*
Jing lin!!!!! Who sadly had to leave early T_T
Han Xin :D
After playing pool, we headed next door to the cinema to catch... Snitch. Here's the trailer:
Looks pretty good right? As though it'll be jam-packed with combat and action.
WRONG
It was the second most boring movie I have ever seen (The first was The Last Airbender <--- complete rubbish) The whole movie is basically about drugs dealing. In addition, THE WAY THEY SPEAK. OH MY GOD. I can't even understand what kind of gangster lingo they are using. Horrible show. I'd give it 1.5/5. The acting was pretty good, thus the 1.5. Ack. Like what Marc said "The most exciting part of the movie was eating my popcorn." Well said ;)
A random picture of me posing with our crazy long strip of tickets plus some weird extras in the back hahaha!
I don't have anymore pictures from then on. We basically spent the rest of the day chatting away about everything and anything under the sun. We met up with the other subgroups and even caught a glimpse of our oh-so-hansome DH (haha!).
I really love my subgroup a lot. What I think is cool is that although we were forced into a subgroup together (as in we didn't get to choose our groups), we still befriended each other. No one was ever left out. Bravesto just feels like family and I love how we just accept each other for who we are :)
If y'all had followed me on Twitter, Instagram (@mirandamikaela), you guys would know that I've been at camp for the past for 4 days! If you didn't know, well.... NOW YOU DO! :P
Camp was so extremely fun. It's safe to say that it is THE BEST camp I've been to. Everything was great. Every time I head to camps I get SOOO WORRIED about the lodging and bathing situations! I'm sooo glad that the showers at Ngee Ann Poly are pretty nice and the sport's hall where we spent the nights were clean and not toooo hot! :) This blog post is going to be a run through of the past 4 days. Brace yourselves!
Yes, I brought a huge luggage to camp! IT'S A FOUR DAY CAMP! THAT'S LONG OK! Don't judge me haha! The first day of camp was mainly just us learning the different group cheers. I was placed in the group- Bragi. The whole camp had a Greek God theme and was called "Yggdrasil" aka some tree of life. Bragi is the God of Poetry and Music. Suits me eh? ;)
Later on we were split into sub groups! My sub group was called Bravesto!
There were around 26 of us! Such awesome people!
Not forgetting our spectacular group leaders (GLs): Jing Lin, Sheena and Aik Soon!!! :)
To be honest, the first DAY was pretty *cough* boring. We didn't know each other and no one was really talking. However, when the sun went down, everything got more hehe interesting. Firstly, we played a game where we had to built a tall and strong structure of straws, newspapers and a cardboard box. My group was fantastic. WE BUILT THIS INSANELY TALL SCULPTURE THAT NO AMOUNT OF WIND COULD BRING DOWN. So proud of us ;) Next, we were brought to a lecture hall to watch a horror movie: Insidious.
I had already watched it so I was pretty fearless *flicks hair* *flexes muscles* It was funny seeing everyone's reactions to the ghosts and stuff. The movie ended at around 1am in the morning and we all were pretty tired. Our DH came in (Department Head? aka he was the head of Bragi) called random people out for the night walk.
What I thought a night walk was: Walking back to the sport's hall in the dark
What a night walk apparently was: A HAUNTED HOUSE
I was grouped with 3 other random people, Sha, Bryan and Michelle. Cool people. All really fearless except for Sha hahahahaha IM SORRY! BUT HE WAS SCARED OK! I didn't take any pictures of the night walk because DUH it was dark and it was pretty hard to take pictures while someone is trying to scare you. All together the whole night walk was really well done. I'm surprised! They flooded toilets and got into full HTT costumes!!!! SOOO IMPRESSIVE! Claps for the crew!!! By the time we got back from the night walk, it was about 3am! However, the call time the next day was only at 11am (another reason why the camp rocked). I didn't get much sleep though. I don't really sleep much during camps for some reason....
DAY TWO was insane. DIRTY GAMES... And by dirty, I mean REALLYCRAZILYDIRTY GAMES. We got covered in flour, vinegar, oil, soya sauce, paint and God knows what else. We stuck our hands in LIVE WORMS to find marbles! And our group hero, Wenn Hao, even put a LIVE WORM on his tongue for 10 seconds so we could earn more marbles! Thus, earning himself the title of HERO!!!! *claps* There was a game station where the crew members poured flour AND WATER in our hair. Yes, it hardened and made us look like we had horrible dandruff. By the end of the day, we looked like a mess! I don't have any pictures of us though! Just imagine a group of hobos. That's what we probably looked like haha!
Tip from our GLs: To remove hardened flour in your hair, use body soap!
Later at night, our DHs got kidnapped by the crew and we had to go play games to get them back!
THAT'S THEM TIED TO THE PILLARS HAHA!
I felt that day 2 was pretty fun because the dirty games REALLY bonded Bravesto as a group. Everyone was dirty together and we all felt like a whole family group.
I look awful ok. 0 makeup. 0 everything hahaahah. DON'T JUDGE ME.
DAYYY THREEEEE WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We had water games! Check out this huge field!
Imagine this entire field with 400+++ people throwing water bombs at each other. Nuff' said.
As day three was the last night we'd be at camp.
There was a campfire finale where all the GLs performed skits that they prepared for us! IT WAS HILARIOUS! The Bragi GLs did a parody of How I Met Your Mother aka one of my favourite shows ever! SO GOOD!
After the finale, we all got chops on our arms and then were brought up into a hall that had been transformed into a "club". We all danced and went cray cray for about 3 hours? At around 1am we were brought back to the field for a donut supper yay. Then the GLs dropped the bomb that the if we slept that night, the crew members will come and draw all over our bodies. Terrified. I didn't sleep at all. Most of my groups mates feel asleep and got doodled on. Poor things!!!! I spent the night/early morning chatting with Jasmine and Xenia. Some boys joined us later on and we all played games. I was really crazy and I can't remember half the things I said and did. Whoops.
The last day was super sad :( We all sang together and jumped around for the last time. Picture spam coming~
With Gladys and Agnes
solo shot with Agnesss~
Some pictures with my rad GLs
Jing (le) Lin!
Poster boy aka Aik Soon!
Sheeeeeenaaaa!!!!
Thank you so much to my awesome GLs! I couldn't ask for better GLs! They cared sooo much about us and treated us as though we were their children! I love them soo muchhh! <3 <3 <3 Words cannot express how thankful I am to you guys!
I'm going to start off with a picture of me in my evil lair with my feline assistant.
If you have good inference skills, you'll realised that I'm not sitting at my usual spot with the bed and wardrobes as my background. This could only mean 2 things:
1) I really got an evil lair and am blogging from underneath Singapore right now, plotting a way to take over all the ice cream parlours
2) I got a MacBook Pro
I think 1) sounds more legit.
So sweeties, I'm back and I'm here to stay. I'll be back to blogging about my day-to-day life. All the rants, camwhoring pictures, advertorials. Yup, Miranda is back...
which leads me to the main reason I'm typing this post. To rant. About hypocrites.
Hypocrite; A person who indulges in hypocrisy. (Not a very useful definition but haha it's from Google) You know what I find funny? People who hate on your hobby and say it's "lame" or "stupid" but a year later, they pick up the exact same hobby. By hobby, YES I do mean making YouTube videos. I'm not talking about anyone in particular *cough ha* But IF I WERE, I would tell that PERSON this:
I'm not annoyed or angry with you. My face is exactly like the lady in the meme. I TOLD YOU VIDEOS WERE FUN. But NOOO you had to go ahead and make fun of me along with your whole gang of friends. But good. I'm glad you started making videos. Another thing I find funny is how haters begin cow-towing once you become (somewhat) successful.
