juz came back frm camp ytd, with a busted knee... sigh....

day1:
woke up still feeling sick, but better from the day b4. at least im not sneezing tt much anymore. reached dfac at 7.30, wah so early, was e first to reach, waited outside. then may n yue rui came n we were allowed in. so we waited there. then edward n all slowly came, w nisa late. we had our briefing then went to check-in. first time seeing the dorms, first camp i've been to where we can slp on beds one. haha~ for me, cos later feli they all break camp so more beds free, so i managed to get the more comfy mattress one... haha~ beside hahahaha-halima. hehe~ n faizal. then below me is edward. then went to get ready n in came the kids at 9.30. first time camp for me, so i was quite nervous. scared i'll cock-up n all.

met my grp kids, my buddy is wayne. 17 in my grp, e class has 34 ppl. at first, they were quite quiet, like not very enthu, then i started bullying the guys. n tt wayne, bully one of e guys ask him want my no. or not, then e guy say of course lah, then wayne say u want ah, muz ask her bf first. then he pretend look ard, then tell e guy my bf not ard, so can give. then he say, by e way, her bf is chi yee... -_-" wad seh.... but at e end of e camp, the kids say im attached to wayne. -_-"""" aye, im not les k.... hahaha~ then wayne also kena shoot by me, i told my kids not to call him wayne, say his gay. then he is not brother, he is sister. haha. then wayne heard me tell them say wayne is not a he. wayne is a she. then he chase me ard w his water bottle. so w our kids more or less cracked up, we started e day w ice-breaking.

did objective setting tog, first time doing w kids, then wayne ask me to brief, i also forget wat to brief le, so i juz tell them to brainstorm n write down wad they want from the camp. then wayne ask them to write down their grp name as well. after some discussion, my grp called themselves bush(for george w bush) n wayne's grp called themselves will smith. after tt, played ice-breaking. i played w my grp the name game n big fish small fish. n then we had to go for lunch.

after lunch, we had general stations, ie the wall n nitro crossing. they were alright, can see tt they do think through the various methods they throw out. but still girls keep to girls n guys keep to guys. esp for nitro crossing. for rock wall, it was slightly better, cos the guys had to help the girls up so they do interact w each other more. n they were supportive of those who felt they were too heavy to be lifted up, always give them encouragement. tt's one thing im proud of for my grp. after tt, water parade n toilet break.

then had crc, ie high elements. as three lanes are opened, i had to do belaying as well. kena the hardest one. as it is, my first time belaying after dunno how many donkey yrs, but im glad i havent lost the skill. although my speed wasnt tt fast, but at least i managed to get it rite. then i always ask my kids to wait at the platform there while i make sure tt the rope is tight liaoz, then he can cross. im really happy for one of my kids, alvin. he climbed up, then he didnt dare to cross, took one step then cannot, then he sat on the platform there begging me to let him down. but i didnt, ask him to try n tell him tt if he falls, we'll be here to catch him (in a way la). then e class started encouraging him, n in e end, not only did he took up the challenge, he made it across successfully as well! so happy for him! n he overcame his fear of heights. so when it came to zipline, he did it w relish. then i super sian, cos do belaying until i nearly fainted, e efi had to take over me. luckily, i knew the signs so i quickly get my kid to pass me water n successfully belayed one kid down b4 handing over to e efi. really scary, my whole vision blacked out while waiting for the efi to take over, lucky i made e kids to stop wad they r doing first.

then it was team-building 2, played loop a loop n turn over a new leaf. wah, they all play the games b4 one, know the tricks to it le. esp turn over a new leaf, ruo han knew e method, n the rest of the grp listened to him n use his method. so they finish quite fast. n they achieved e 3 Cs- cooperation,communication n coordination. cos they would help each other out, listen to each other esp when one is talking n coordinate their movements so tt they would be able to finish the game. end up, after de-brief, while waiting for wayne's grp to complete, i taught them a new cheer, e hot cheer. it became e grp's n e class cheer. tt alvin hor, hand n leg cannot coordinate one lei, so later during de-brief he kena suan by me when i touched on coordination. hahaha~

after tt, had camp prep, our class vey sporting n on, according to wayne it's the best class he's ever taken. they use their own initiative n are very enthu abt it. they needed little guidance n prompting frm us. ideas juz kept flying n in e end they did spongebob theme song,teletubbies,chicken dance,reflections of camp(using the taglines of various brands,eg this camp is like NOKIA- connecting ppl),barney song n e hot cheer. i must say im so impressed when they came up w the reflections one. real original. feel really honoured to get such a gd grp n class for my first camp, i must be really lucky. in fact, i owe it to them tt it went by so smoothly. if it was others, my first camp might not have gone so smoothly. as such, its been really memorable for me.

n then it was dinner. after tt, took them for night hike, i did starting pt w farhan. my job is to get them into grps of five n send them to farhan for briefing. then those really frightened one were scared further by me, cos i tell them cannot touch e barrier cos will make a lot of noise, n they wouldnt want to wake those unwelcomed spririts up. hahaha~ so they were so obedient to me. hahaha~ then on the way back, i saw this person in white cross over n take this very small path, then my kids say is a ghost then they started running, n i scare them again by saying tt if they make more noise, even more ghosts will come. then they stop n quietly walk back. ha~ im so mean.

then it was song session, it was alright, not too bad. at least they were more responsive than e first wave. i learnt some of inno's songs n cheers too. learn tog w the kids, then pretend pretend i know like tt. hahaha~ then it was supper/debrief n then shower. chase them all to shower, they complain not enough time but wad to do. after tt, lights out at 12. then trainers had our own debrief n shower n sleep...

day 2:
woke up at 6, tt raqib left e radio on until now, make me cannot slp e whole night. kena constipation. sianz.... its a long day today. we had area cleaning after breakfast, our class had to clean dorms 1,2 n 3. clean until nice nice le, then we gathered n got ready for rock wall. tt wayne ah, lazy to do belaying, make me do. lucky this time i didnt faint. n my grp won e mini competition! hehehe~ so happy for them. make wayne throw face hahaha~ i nearly flew up at one pt of time, e ankle man sleeping, end up wayne had to grab the rope n pull me down. scare me sia, suddenly kena lifted up e grd. e ankleman kena lectured by me as a result.

then it was zipline. wah sian, i dunno how to do zipline, then i super blur n very nervous la, n tt efi didnt come down to brief lor. lucky my grp was early, so i managed to see how yue rui do it, n lucky she brief me abit. n also lucky for me my students were very well-behaved, they cooperated w me n listened to me. except once, where one of them shook the trolley while i was on top, e rest was pretty alright. so it went quite smoothly. i must say, not bad for a first-timer. e only prob is cos i was so nervous so i make sure safety is very gd, tt's y not tt efficient. din manage to clear all my kids, left 4 of them couldnt do. then the teachers wanted to do but no time le, den they started to grumble. who ask them to go n wear the harness first. i din ask them to wear mah. i had to go over n ask them(politely) to give the helmet to my kids so tt they can do the zipline first. end up i had to end 10 mins earlier cos my grp gotta do serving for lunch.

then lunch lor, my grp do serving, all want to do serving, hahaha~ then e guys do e washing pts, must really thank them for being so helpful n nice. after lunch, it was dragon-boating time!!! e highlight of e camp. so off we went to kallang basin!

at kallang basin, wayne briefef e sch, then put on life jackets n all n off we went! my grp last to go off cos we were e first to reach the place, like so unfair rite? but they were quite gd, listen to my commands n all, can tell tt they were really eager to do it. so we dragon-boat for abt an hr, did the buoyancy test, so funny, they all so excited, then squealed when enter e water cos it was cold. after buoyancy test, they quickly got into the boat and dragon-boat again. then we had a race, for e 2nd wave my grp came in third or fourth, not bad. haha~ then do cheers n all! so fun. n i nearly fell into the water when climbing down frm the platform hahaha~ but didnt. yue rui so poor thing, she fell into the water cos she standing at the platform, then the boat hit the wall, then she cannot balance so fall in. come out all wet. poor girl... hahaha~ :P but i felt the db was too short. so sad... hahaha~
