CLEAN GAMES

DIRTY GAMES

THE TENNIS CLUB!

These are some of the pictures and I hope you like it. All of us enjoyed the camp and had fun together. Though all of us got really dirty but we knew that it was an AWESOME camp after all. If I have to describe the camp with a word, that will be "awesome", no doubt. So don't miss out next year camp where it will be double the fun and double the craziness!

Cheers! :D

Ngee Ann Tennis Camp '11.

Hello guys!

If you didn't attend our camp, it's alright! I am here to post some pictures and videos of the 3days 2 nights camp.

1st day

The camp started pretty smoothly even though it started to rain. The Committee '11 did an awesome job to overcome it. We played quite a few games to get to know one another. If the first day was awesome, then you would know that the next few days will be pretty awesome too!

2nd day

It was the best part of the camp! All of us played all sorts of games but the most interesting part of it was the dirty games! We played touch rugby with chicken, egg, orange, peeled banana and etc. Even though we played on a muddy field due to the rain, we still dared to get ourselves dirty. This is the thing about camp, we dared ourselves and had fun with one another as a club!

All these happened in the afternoon so here's what we did at night. After dinner, we went to watch a movie, a horror movie if you were wondering, and some of us were obviously scared even the boys. However, the night was still young, so we had a night walk at the campus and then back to the loft. At loft, we were told that they had a surprise for us. So all of us pair up and took turns to go up. Guess what, they actually prepared 'haunted houses' and it was really scary!

After that, we ended the night.

Last day

The camp ended with the Annual General Meeting '11 and we had an appreciation ceremony for the Committee 2011. All of us agreed that the camp was awesome and all of us were having a great time as a club.

Anyway guys, I have posted a link to our camp montage and hope you guys like it! Pictures will be up soon so do visit our blog regularly!

i'm sure you all remember the awesome question "what did the satay tell the satay seller?"

Tennis Jokes

Q: Why should you never fall in love with a tennis player?
A: To them, "Love" means nothing.

Q: What did the tennis ball say when it got hit?
A: Who's making all the racquet?

While out one morning in the park, a jogger found a brand new tennis
ball, and seeing no one around it might belong to, he slipped it into
the pocket of his shorts.

Later, on his way home, he stopped at the pedestrian crossing,
waiting for the lights to change.

A blonde girl standing next to him eyed the large bulge in his shorts.
"What's that?" she asked, her eyes gleaming with lust.

"Tennis ball," came the breathless reply.

"Oh," said the blonde sympathetically, "that must be painful.... I
had tennis elbow once."
