College Camp 2007 Part 2

The moment I first saw the speakers I knew there was something wrong. The husband dressed up that resemble what seems to me like a communist and the wife.. she just looks weird. I tried to keep an open mind though, thinking that it might not be so bad after all. So when Eric introduced him, Steven Chong, we all clapped. As he walked up to the front his first words that came out were ” Keep Quiet”!! with that mean, cold, shut up kinda tone. If you were there you would feel disrespected as most of us were. Then he started talking about who knows what. What’s the use? He already lost all his audience. His spastic disease is seriously annoying. His heads jerks every minute!! Dude talk your pills man!! He has just got bad communication skills. He brags about how much degree and experience he has and all that shit but doesn’t even know how to operate an LCD projector even with his Cert in Computer Science!! I’m guessing he got it from like the 70’s or something you know. Before LCD’s existed.

Then the wife comes on. Starts talking crap about I don’t know you and you don’t know me. Gives us some stupid poem of “success” and ask us to recite it from the top of our lungs. They give us 10% at the beginning and we must repeat the freaking poem til we reach 100%. No matter how hard we shout they will only increase 10% every time. Like what the right!!?? And they say their trying to break us. Who do they think they are!! God?!! pfft.

This is how it goes:

After that the wife will on some weird tribal music shit. Ask us to close our eyes, breathe in and out, and go with the flow. Seriously??? It sounds like new age crap man. And when I opened my eyes I saw her dancing away and it was a nightmare!! Even the devil would be scared looking at her dance. Freak!

There was also a cheer throughout the camp. Where they shouted “winners!!” and we do the Starjump and shout ” I’m Alive!!” It felt like Cheer 2007 yet boot camp at the same time. From then on I just skipped and walked out from a couple of sessions.

The last night was the freakiest. Being the climax and all, they decide to do some inner healing stuff. They waited til the night was dark, and they’ll leave the hall lights off so it would be pitch black. Then they arrange chairs back to back kinda thing. And ask you to come in pairs girl to girl, guy to guy. I just somehow had the chills that time. My goosebumps were up yo! I knew there was something wrong with that. And so I heard testimony’s of people that walked out of that room. Some sad music would be playing and the speakers wife would tell all the depressing stories in the world to try to bring up your “inner hurts”. My ass la. It’s probably good for SOME people la. But seriously, you don’t do healing in less than three days or in hours!! Bloody freaking wanna-be psychologist. More like psychotic they are.

Other than that the venue is alright la. Although it probably isn’t the best idea to choose such a place. The college knows there is a majority of students that smokes and drinks. Yet they choose a venue for the camp which disallows all these. furthermore with  such an asswipe speaker and bounded inside the gates of that place, what is there to do!!!??? They want to fine everyone who broke the rules. Might as well fine everyone right.

And what saddens me is to hear how the staff threaten the students. So many times they say if you don’t attend they session or if you break the rules they will take away your scholarship. I mean, I don’t rely on scholarship, but what right do they have to say that. As long as the students perform in their studies what is wrong, it’s not like they’ll end up in jail or something. Threatening shouldn’t be something used against students. I wonder what the CEO’s think of this. The staff will probably find some reason to cover it up like they always do with the parents. And maybe it’s time the college stop blaming the students for the mess, but blame themselves for causing the students to create such messes?

Seriously, if you do come to LIFE college, not that I’m suggesting you should, find whatever reason to skip the camps.

And the speakers, their Singaporeans btw. I used to like Singaporeans despite all the shit-ass stories about them. Now these couple just enhanced the rotten image of their country.

I shall not waste my energy on hating them and concentrate on finish my course BEFORE JULY 2008!!

There’s my goal. pfft

p/s: I do not have any pictures of the speakers out of fear that their evil-ness will destroy my poor lil’ cameras.

And wait for the videos… *wink wink. We’ll show you our “sessions”.XD
