Inertia : the tendency to resist a change in motion
Yup.. just can't seem to get myself to blog... Its like a disease.. But anyway, here I am.. trying to keep my posts regular... So what's new i hear u ask.. well this holidays I've been pretty lazy ( i know its not new but just play along ok? ) .. haven't touched any of my books since that fateful Friday... On the bright side though, i haven't been a complete slob bumming around as well... i just came back from Young Writer's Camp!!!
Honestly, i really had a good time there. It was really something new and i don't regret going at all. Hmmm.. when u picture a writer's camp, what do you envision?? A camp full of bespectacled kids ranting about the latest books around?? Well i took it a step further - bepectacled, ranting, latest books, but most of all... playing lotsa word games (scrabble anyone??no? how about boggle? ) !!
But gosh... was I way off target.. they were just really cool guys who were just passionate about writing.... And in place of word games we actually simulated publishing our very own newspaper!! A whole new peek into journalism!! Well it was really cool to meet all these people who view writing like you do.. and our OWN NEWSPAPER??!! wow.. my group's paper was called The Toiletpaper!!
yup, proud toiletpaperian!! it was a totally new thing and i even got to interview this security guard nearby and who knew he had such a good story to tell!! But if i had to pick one thing that i loved the most about the camp, i guess it would be the people. They were just cool people.. even the editors and Uncle John the housemaster of Harvest Haven...
One of the best parts of the camp apart from the trip to Gua kandu ( you can read about that in arnan's blog The Next Chapter though the link doesn't really work) was the Writer's Slam... What on earth is that??!! that was my reaction too... Well, it was basically a time where we could just go up and read any piece of work wev'e written and the rest of us would give comments...
Kinda the ultimate torture for all writers out there huh? But i guess in a cool community like we have it was more of an encouragement.. Though i didnt go up, it was really cool to just listen to these people... 14 year olds at levels i'm not even close to... it can be intimidating.. but i guess to me i feel more inspired to write like these guys do...
Anyway.. to avoid writing "wordy" posts.. ive decided to end this post shortly..
Just some things to keep u looking at my post!! Try counting the number of times i said 'cool' and post it in my chatbox.. yea it was on purpose.. not really my style to repeat words but i noticed a trend while i was typing and instead of cracking my head for synonyms i tried this instead... yay!!
To end... this is just some of the taglines we used for our Toiletpaper Paper!!
- Cheap yet Indispensible
- News today, Used tomorrow
- We get dirty but we get the job done
- Swish and Swash
- Keep in case you have the urge

Cool?? Why so cool? I have to say I totally love the camp. I am amused when i think how if the Toilet Paper was a real paper, the journalist would have to introduce themselves like this : Hi, I'm ___________(so and so) from the toiletpaper. Sounds real funny. I hope you love the shots of you on my blog. It is a bit messy as i did it in a bit of rush. But it will be will be arranged over the next few days.
There are more photos on the camp on my Picasa Online Album. I will link it to my blog too...
