Ok, here are the reasons for saying 'I have something on' to the ODAC personnel.
(1) I don't want to go alone.
I do not really like to go for those events, activities, on my own. I prefer to go at least with one or more friends. Yes you are a friend, but you have your own friends too…
(2) I had my own plans for the week.
The camp's 4 day. Monday's the first day. Monday, I have a badminton session. In the afternoon, I have to go collect my Hong Kong stuff from a friend. At night, I have a dinner. Tuesday is a day to settle NUS tuition fee applications, and most probably a swim at JE. Wednesday and Thursday are still free, but Friday, I have a tea session with my primary school classmate(s). At 5pm, I have my dental appointment. If they have called earlier, I would have been available. Too bad…
(3) The Fee…
I don't want to spend money, not now. I am trying to save here.
(4) Instinct Reply
When the call came, I gave a negative answer straight away, without even thinking! Maybe if I even bother to think through, I may have a different answer.
(5) Packing Siao…
The packing of personal items will make me think of field camp… although field camps' fun, but then, just lazy… not a very good reason…
Enough reasons? No? Well, these are just typical excuses for not going. I am always rejecting this, rejecting that. What am I trying to do? So siao that I keep asking people to go a few weeks ago, and when I got a ray of hope, I gave up? What do I want?
Maybe I will use Wednesday and Thursday to think about it…
In the meantime, I hope the camp's will be an adventurous and interesting one, and may it be blessed with good weather throughout, although rain will make camping even more fun! See how to 'survive' in wetness…
Now, is that a curse or a blessing? You all decide…
