I'm BACK!
Once again, i'm back from another camp. This camp is the last one i'll be having for this year. (Obviously)

Anyway, the camp i came back from is a cca camp. *drum rolls. CO CAMP! It is okay okay lah. Practice practice and practice gaohu only. Anyway, got to spend time with my beloved gaohu. Aww~ Not forgetting the time spent with my friends and the crazy camwhoring and nightwalks. What we did from day to day is actually more or less similar, so i won't elaborate much about this camp.

Summary of the various camps:

I've been to 5 camps for this holiday and i've been to the best camps and camps which i think that the organising group should put in more effort in. Let's start with the BEST camp. Seriously, i think that the best camp i've been to for this holiday is Outward bound Singapore's camp. We get to learn more about leadership as well as experience things that you can't experience everyday, such and the land and sea expeditions. I made super nice friends there. We all come from different backgrounds but we bonded and held on to each other tightly for the past 5 days there. We obviously had to go through some disputes but we put aside our differences and stayed strong. They planned everything before hand and i can say that they were really organised. The leaders acted appropriately and their goals were met. 5 stars for this camp!

Another camp which i enjoyed is the BLSS leadership camp organised by us. It was super cool and we can see the groups bonding and seeing them grow as a leader makes me grin from ear to ear. Although some activities are common in camps, we made use of the games to instill morals of leadership to them.*Claps for goals met!

I've been to 2 church camps this holiday and i enjoyed both camps as both were equally good. The AMC and SFA camps made me closer to God. AWW~ Thank God man~

The most recent camp i've been to is the CO camp. As i say before that this camp was okay okay la. Love the seniors, love the xianyue peeps, love my gaohu.

Now here's the gross part.
In the 5 camps, i really disliked one camp. I do not want to point fingers at any camp because i do not want to dampen anyone's feeling. Although it is 3 days 2 nights, i feel that time passes really very slow in the camp during the day. I understand that we go to this camp to have some crappy intensive trainings la. I also understand that the organising committee really put in loads of effort in the planning. However, i have to be direct and just say that it simply sucks. Its very disorganised and everyone is doing their own things. I just hate to be direct but, the person in charge of the camp is just horrible and i think that he/she has NO leadership qualities. Why in the world would the teacher choose a person who does things half way and give up then claims all the credit for doing all the things? The group organising the camp may look like they are doing everything. Yes yes, they do things, but it is the jobs that every one can do. From day one i would have died if things got even worse. We started boring. After our lunch i went for the camp with an open mind, expecting some fun and great ice breaking games. I wanted to have fun with my group members. Sadly, what i saw was really too much for my open mind to take. The group played the same game for the whole time and they did not even have the materials needed for the game. I thought they should have planned the games way BEFORE hand (remember the put in lots of effort part). Oh my, its just one game and you guys can't even get it right? When the game master incharge of explaining the game tried to get his/her(i forgot) message across, no one was listening. How could you get your message across without even getting the audience's attention? (Hey, go stand at one corner and talk to the air instead). I feel terrible for those who were badly treated during the camp. On the first day for lunch, there were duties for the student to follow, as in serve and clean up. However, when its dinner and for the rest of the camp, no one was there to clean up and stuff. (wow. the other groups are so free?) On the second day, we had games that i thought were poorly planned and that they could do better. The games had no morals and i thought it was very boring. Although there were squeals of delight, i thought that it was the participants themselves making things fun. We had barbeque on the last evening for dinner. I thought the team in charge of the camp should be at the pits helping up? I saw this: The food was still untouched, no one prepared drinks, everything was in a mess and the teachers were the one doing everything( hey, i thought that the teachers are there to assist, not to serve?). The seniors were the ones cooking food for themselves. (Hey man! They did a super great job to serve the organisation, we should be the ones serving them and not them serving us?) They just sat there waiting to be served. When it was time to clean up, everyone disappeared leaving one of my poor friend(without the 's') to clean up everything! (I thought there were duties? Where is the IC for the camp?). Half way during the bbq, we were asked to go somewhere at once and leave all our food at the pits, since they said it will take only 10 to 15 mins we just gladly agreed and made our way there quick. To my horror, nothing is done yet and there was a delay of about 45 mins(10 mins? 15 mins? OH MY!). We had to settle for burnt chicken and we had to clear everything up because my friend(without the 's') and only the teacher was clearing up. We just can't bear to see her doing everything alone. On the third day, when we broke camp, it was so unofficial. (oh my, is this even a camp?) I heard that the IC did everything himself/herself. (Puhhhh lease! Don't go act and then skip our precious training sessions). This camp made us more seperated then before. Its is not a bonding camp, oh my. it just sucks. Oh ya, i heard that the IC pushes the job to everyone and then sit back and see what happens and has a very bad attitude towards work and the people around. Lastly, call yourself a leader? Come and confront us face to face if you are not happy with us. Do not go to your beloved alumnis and let him/her settle us with his/her indirect craps. You have done a very great job(only boot licking and doing what all of us can do) the whole year. KEEP UP the good work(: We appreciate your leadership full of initiative and assertiveness.(haha) I seriously love the night life during the camp when we do out own stuff and have self created fun together. This camp would have killed us if we did not have each other's contributions to make it fun(on our part).

Glad its over, thinking of the camp really makes my butt itch(i was bitten by a mosquito on my backside).

Last Words:
Hey all campmates and other people, sorry if i pissed you off. I did'nt mean it(maybe some on purpose), I may be tired or something that time la. Sorry uhs!

Today is the last day of 2008. How am i going to spend it? Perhaps Sleeping and then waking up to finish up ALL my homework thn off to church(:

HAPPY NEW YEAR PEOPLE!
WELCOME 2009 (gasps!)
01012009 tmr!! (: Happy One year babe~
Made your new year resolutions already? Well, i'm doing later.
I'm gonna sleep already.

xoxo

She's a happy girl
Woke up at around 7 am today and went for piano lessons. It was tough, but i managed to pull through. I'm happy because of that.
Met Kathleen at Clementi and laughed at her for walking all the way to the tail of the train when i said head of the train. I'm happy because of that.
Trained to Dhoby Ghaut to look for the Cathay. We got lost and were frantically searching because we were running out of time. Our stupidity is funny! I'm happy because of that.
Found the place and we crossed the roads screaming like crazy although there were no cars. Laughed like crazy after we realised our mistake. I'm happy because of that.
Bought the tickets and spend a bomb on the food. The nacho combo was $7 and my Doritos was $4.80. Tickets was cheap though. I'm happy because of that.
Laughed like mad because the show wild child was very funny and the cheese from the nachos was dripping everywhere. I laugh at our clumsiness. I'm happy because of that.
Went to the arcade to play daytona, ddr and para. Making weird sounds in ddr and para whereas Kathleen was cool and pro. Had loads of fun. I'm happy because of that.
Strolled to plaza sing and dashed into yamaha. I tried to teach Kath, but i can't teach well although she is a fast learner. I'm happy because of that
Went to spot light and played with the stuff and was walking around talking about random stuff. Cool man! I'm happy because of that.
Went to kopitiam for our lunch/tea. Kath had some fish stuff while i enjoyed my messed up strawberry milk ice. I'm happy because of that.
Took the train back to boon lay,l ooked at the rain and said lame stuff like 'I can see the thunder and hear the lightning'. I'm happy because of that.
Strolled through the extended Jp and stopped at artbox. We took around 1/2hr looking at art box and bought a notebook to organise my life. I'm happy because of that.
Yadadadadadada.
I'm a happy girl thanks to God.
If it wasn't for him i will feel so empty...
Nights people :D

I went to meet peiwen and yeeleng to do the literature project at starbucks. In the end, we walked in the new jp. We can get lost there man! We windowshopped after meeting and then HSH. Although windowshopped, somehow my $20++ was gone.(Food maybe Onlined, chat, blogshopped, looked for movie timing. :D short post for today. Preparing for tmr(: Date with Kathleen. heh. Toodles people! Don't sleep too late. If not become an ugly panda. :X
