Aku is blardie sick now... fever and runny nose and delirium and god-knows-what... must be all that after-effect of the blardie sun during the camp finally acting up. As I told a zillion year mates and ex seniors and juniors today during the RGSRCY 3 years gathering, I stood on the beach from before the blardie sun started work till after it knocked off for the day. How not to get sick liddat sia?! But as I guess most of you guys are probably falling asleep from the lack of activity on the wulinmengzhu blog these days, I should risk my health to entertain you people. Damnit I really need rest... argh.. never mind after I tell you what happened during the second day of camp.

Second day of camp.. the long awaited fright night!!! It was one of the highlights of the camp, and we started preparing for it from like, early afternoon till night... What programmers welfare.. what... what's that?! Come again?? We had to eat lunch on the van and in the Popular in school while buying props to scare the freshies silly. 2 girls, gobbling down mixed veggie rice while picking out plasticine, crepe paper, markers etc to buy.. very nearly kena indigestion... and that was not even half as bad as the total loss of image as the Popular staff stared dumbfounded at these 2 siao geenahs.

Anyway, Meifeng bought lots of makeup and also loads of cloths and stuff and we sat down to make the props. How the hell do u make a dummy from newspapers and a piece of red cloth and some garbage bags??? Ans: Roll up the newspapers and dump them into the garbage bags to make a body and a head. After that yours truly shredded some crepe paper bit by bit to make the hair. Damnit.. shredding paper with a shredder is easy.. shredding paper with just a pair of scissors and a pair of bare hands is pure torture. And guess what.. to make it as convincing as possible to make it look like real hair.. you have to, like, shred the crepe paper into real thin pieces and shred a helluva lot.. a mountain worth of shredded paper. OK results were still not very convincing.. how close can a garbage bag dummy get to looking like a real person?!? But wth I dun gif a damn anymore.. too much other stuff to do. Surprise! The freshies were still scared silly by the totally-unconvincing dummy... leaves me scratching my head in wonder still.. will post the pics later. Check out the difference-how the dummy looks under the light and how it looks in total darkness lit by a single light stick. Bet the freshies will be damn dui... like.. WTH I got frightened outta my mind by that obiang garbage bag?! Oh well.. too late for regrets now.

We also got some dolls.. Meifeng kinda dismantled the doll.. remove the head and stuff.. and the silly girl didn't dare to sleep in her room alone with that headless doll... like.. you know.. maybe the head will float up to her bed and start saying to her, "Where is my body.... WHERE IS MY BODY!??!?!?!" OOPS! OMG sorry girl... I promised I must start to accumulate kou3 de2, right?? Shucks.. nvm I shall start after tonight. Haha. Anyway some of the helpers were quite creative. One of the dolls, the headless one, had a voice box thingee that could be pressed and will give some baby crying noise. So they used it to make some baby noises to scare the freshies. If these freshies can even be frightened by a filled-garbage-bag-dummy, you don't wanna know what some freshies did after hearing those cries.... thank god that doll thing was placed in a toilet. But nothing can be done about their shorts of cos.. oh well.. too bad. Haha.

Next, the make-up. Not just for the pseudo-ghosts, also for the dolls. I was the official make-up artist.. lucky this kinda make-up no need skill. Anyhow whack also can. Actually, more like, anyhow whack even better. So basically, standard make-up: 10 zillion tons of white powder slapped onto their faces and then reddish lines running down from their eyes, mouth, noses, etc. Another essential make-up item.. eyeliner. I drew eyelines thick enough to make even Avril proud of me. The thicker the better right? Tadaa!!!! Done! I heard some "ghost" actually screamed her head off after accidentally spotting her reflection in the mirror. This make-up artist pro hor?! Somehow, the more I stare at the ghosts that I made up, the more I don't understand why some people simply adore goth makeup. But anyway, that's beside the point.

There were also a few black-faced ghosts.. Jonathon and Thong Lun and another guy... I forgot his name. Those few, we just passed them the face paint and let them DIY. In the end, the face paint couldn't be washed off.. oops!! Oh well, at least they can't blame me. Haha. Hey they should be thankful I stopped Meifeng from using that left-over paint the hall people used to paint the hall!! Though I think we do have some turpentine in the Union room. I mean, taking the paint without asking is no good right?! Oops!! Sorry revealed another secret I shared with Meifeng.. eh don't hoot me hor gurl! Yingjie very reluctantly got pulled by a few hot guys (hot by Yingjie's definition) to help out in fright night. I personally made sure she got some real nice makeup..wahahaha!! Gotta send the pics to the entire class when term starts. Unless she is agrees on a considerable bribe, enough to make me forgo the thrill of having the entire class laugh their heads off.

After tons and tons of preparation and hurriedly gobbled meals and no drinks (what programmer welfare?? What sia?!) we were finally ready to set off. Dropped off the "ghosts" stop by stop, while Junxiang and his 3 helpers, Alex, Edgar and Kelvin went to set up the stations. The stations included a female toilet outside LT1A, the slope outside LT1A, a secluded walkway outside an engine lab, a lift, a staircase, a few tutorial rooms... did I miss out any? Dunno.. wait till the pics come.

The stations were hell to set up.. When did they changed the lights in like, the entire NTU to those automated ones that will turn on whenever movement is sensed. Lights so blardie bright.. how to be scared?! We had to go wrap up the motion censors one by one, to prevent motion from being sensed to trigger the turning on of the lights. If it can't be done, we had to use black paper to cover up the lights. Wah damn xiong.. programmer life no fun right? Killer life right?! Wrong. Programmer life fun. Damn fun! The fun comes in later, when our efforts pay off!

The first station we got this real cockster to help out.. great guy he was.. really scared the hell outta the freshies without a tinge of makeup on his face. Till now I'm surprised by how he did it. Edgar, Alex, Kelvin and another guy who joined in later, Jiaming, took turns to deploy the freshies pair by pair to the first station. From there, they followed a trail of light sticks to finish the walk. With that cockster in the first station, the freshies were off to a thrilling start! Hearing their screams while waiting outside the toilet is damn satisfying. I never had such a great time! Tell you more later. Now let's start on how we did the briefing for fright night. Fright night leh.. even briefing you have to squeeze your brain juices dry to think of lines that will leave them in cold sweat.

"K tonight, you will be going on a night walk. You will be going in pairs, and you will be on your own. No seniors will be accompanying you. Follow a trail of light sticks all the way to the end of the walk. The first station is a female toilet downstairs, and one of the seniors here will walk you down. You will enter the toilet on your own and the night walk starts from there. Do not stay at the door of the toilet, GO ALL THE WAY IN! ( There was a puddle of "blood" at the door of the toilet and a helluva lot of freshies kinda freaked out and refused to go in. And I thought I was a humster.. ) There is a task for you to complete in the toilet, you can't leave till its done. From there on, there might be tasks for you to complete at other places along the way, just follow instructions. Along the way, do not talk too loudly, but you can scream. Please do not disturb anything that you see.. what you see might not be what you think it is... take my word for it."

Scary or not?! Walau took me the whole entire night to polish my speech lor. Of cos the SAs (seniors attached) did a good job of telling them interesting stories about the school before that too lar. K never mind. Let me tell you about the more interesting and memorable freshie pairs.

First one came from S grp. Cocksters. Seriously. They went in FOURS lor.. not PAIRS.. cos there was not enough time. And they were so blardie freaked out. Firstly the one of the guys in that grp (made up of 2 guys 2 gers) decided he just had to answer nature's call like, before the first station. There was a male toilet beside the first station, so the deployers (think it was Alex and Jiaming) asked them to use the toilet there. The humster freshie asked if there was anything in the toilet. One of the deployers told him there was nothing, but the other deployer decides to have some fun and told the guy in a very soft voice, "I don't know." Humster freshie freaks out even before walk starts, and gotta be accompanied into the toilet by the other male in the group. Wait.. these guys had supposedly been through NS right?? Aww never mind..

After that, they finally started out at the female toilet. They were told they had to get "something" from the toilet (it was supposed to be a chinese talisman), and they were so blardie freaked that they just ran in and grabbed the first thing they saw -- a toilet cleaner trolley. The deployers told them NO go ALL THE WAY IN don't HUM! So they ran in and replaced the trolley........... and came out with the headless doll. Walau wrong again! Bet they didn't even dare to look up, just grabbing anything they could find. They repeated the procedure 2 more times, coming out with the voicebox of the doll next, and later the doll head. In the end, the cockster "ghost" got so tired of them, he just passed them the talisman and chased them away. Walau! 2 guys and 2 girls also they hum!!!

Next cockster grp of four.... again from S grp. This grp of 4 lagi best... they ran in and grabbed somethng without thinking as well (guess is a common trait in S grp people) and walau guess what they came out with... the blardie SANITARY BIN!!! Wah piangz.. the deployers kinda just fainted on the spot...

Another grp of 4.. not from S this time. Another grp, I forgot which. I deployed this grp. At first they were damn happy, telling me they were how lucky they got to go in fours and not in pairs. I gave them a chilly stare and asked," You sure you gonna be much safer in fours than in pairs?" Suddebly all diam diam.... look at each other... I see the look on their faces I decided at that moment all that hard work in the morning was worth it. This grp another humster grp. Told them go all the way in, they kept standing at the door. Even after I used elephant strength to push them in, one girl was still using her leg to hold the door open. Finally, the cockster "ghost"'s voice boomed out from inside the toilet, "Why don't wanna let the door close?? You sure there's nothing outside?!" His speech was coordinated perfectly with Junxiang jumping out from beside the door outside. Girls scream, leg finally releases door. Door takes like, 10 seconds to close, and finally closes with a BOOM. Girls scream again. Inside the toilet, broom drops. Girls scream again. Wait.. I think I heard a masculine scream too... oh well.. let's not deflate anymore ballooning male egos here shall we? After like, 10 zillion more screams, the four finally emerged from the toilet, with a sorta wild look on their horrified faces. Now finally understand why I say being a programmer is fun?! Shiok feeling sia!

Shared a few more jokes with the other deployers.. tell you more about it tmr. Now seriously gotta stop torturing my deadbeat and sick body.
