Before I start talking about the camp itself, let me clarify some things... After that, they washed up and slept...the exco and I had a lil discussion... I remembered telling them that they can go to sleep if they're too sleepy... but they came...full force... so proud of them... we talked n discussed for abt an hour, after which, the girls stayed to 'sleep' at that shelter while the boys went up to the other shelter to either sleep or do sentry... Day 2 will come again shortly...
1. tradition is when something is practiced and accepted for quite some time....
2. no one was forced to help in the camp by either exco or me....not a soul...
3. almost all the activities were 'as-requested' in the feedback/survey forms that u all filled in
4. I only do things that cost me my time, energy and money if I love the pple I'm doing it for...
5. I may be new to the school..but I'm not too new...I've been updated and warned abt almost everthing in the camp...
Day 0... the Advanced Party...
The advanced party: supposedly, only seven can come...but it ended up to be more than double of that...luckily u boys 'behaved' yourselves...apart from some 'dettol' stuff
Day 1...
The theme for this day was teamwork and character building... the exco had cracked their brains after the exams, staying back till late, coming early and so on just to come up with games that build teamwork and character.... Kudos to them...n with the help of our sec fives and twos, the games went on smoothly...wel, no thanks to certain pple, we didn't get our loud hailer as promised.... last minute changes was done...luckily...things went smoothly... I shall not elaborate on how the games are played...instead, I shall tell u the point of each game...
The whole telematch: Teamwork, teamwork, teamwork
Move but not touch: the game was actually played wrongly...but the objective still remain the same...that is, creativity and intelligence...the real game is much much harder...may require u guys to take off ur shoes...
Blindfold Maze: ability to give and follow instruction...If I was the station master...I would say "ENGLISH!!!"
Drunkard Tailor: precision, ability to 'make judgement' even when not in the right state of mind
Transfer marbles: stability, creativity
Giant Pencil: same as blindfold maze plus teamwork...
Balance and Arrange: Teamwork and balance...
My station was balance and arrange...I do not know how many times I had to repeat myself...There is only ONE rule...legs cannot touch the ground....there were many things u can do... eg, use the pple around as poles and handles (this was wat ALL groups used after many many hints) one can also add another thing to step on...(grp B tried this, but didn't pass)... using hands...no one used this... but the best method was of course, for one to squat and the other to move across...the best method, tried and tested by the exco during the recce...
After the telematch, things got a lil bad...it was starting to rain...without the loud hailer, even my voice cannot be heard...but I didn't shout lah...if I did, many would be shocked...food came really late...so we couldn't go as we planned...that is to have everyone eating lunch peacefully on the beach or park area... but wateva lah... campers and those involved proceeded to the rock climbing place and had a great time while the rest, spent boring hours waiting for the rain to stop... luckily, they managed to find something to do....talk nonsense...even I was in the nonsense mood... then came the bad bad news...a family mishap... I was kept in the dark...as my hp was totally flat...n on the other side...they were too busy....after this, I lost a lot of focus to the camp... I'm sorry girls and boys...
I keep getting frustrated after that... every single complain by the organisers and helpers and the campers were like huge bells ringing in my head... every single question to me was like a piece of burning charcoal thrown at my face... I felt like crying, I wanted to leave the camp... But I remembered how enthusiastic the sec three's were and how very hard the exco had worked...
My sister came at about 8...I bombarded her with many many questions...everything seems fine...so things get going again...I was back as myself... going here n there...my sis gave her First Aid Lecture...btw peeps...her name is DURRIAH...not duriyah..haha... after the lecture was a supposed drill... guess wat??? when my casualty, hakim and I were waiting for the group to rescue us, we kinda hid from the group... I saw Khairil looking straight at my face...but the whole group just walked away...when they stopped and turned back, Khairil, once again was staring straight at me...but they walked away again....Khairil must have thought I was some ghost!!! wahahaha
