just back frm a sec 3 camp (compassvale sec)...well, the camp was surprisingly fun, especially at the end of the camp, it was really rewarding!

at first, i thought my class/group was okay and that they were just normal N.A kids. Boy was i wrong. my grouping wasnt well done. i shud had paid more attention to the leaders and got them in my group. i got those 'bad eggs' of the class...but never mind coz i though i was able to handle them.

although there were some downs in my group, slowly i won them over. quite an accomplishment, especially i had this notorious boy in my group, who is a leader in his won way, but due to his 'act-seh-ness and wanna keep up with image' he kept the whole grp's morale at a low manz...with his dissapperance, his discouraging words and taunting at failures, it was indeed demoralizing for the grp and ewven for me especially at the rafting part. but it was also during this rafting session that i think i won him over. i spoke to him, prep talk him, and although he 'acted' as if he din care, he heard what i was saying. the real surprise and satisfaction was at the end of the camp when he wrote his evaluation form. true enough, although he was displeased with the camp in general, but his comments for his instructor was GOOD! haha..in fact, he wrote something like "you are a good instructor, but our class is just too uncooperative at times." something like that..and he ended off with a 'im sorry for this.' whoa...when i saw that, i really felt GOOD! haha cant describe how i felt, but really satisfying!

overall, this camp was good, although for my group my C&C wasnt really there...cant control too much also, coz they already upset with the other instructors..haha..anywayz, at the end of the camp, while in the sch bus, all was super high!! really glad and happy. the bus ride back to sch was memorable.they were all cheering and cheering n singing thruout the WHOLE journey~!! din hear them cheer so much during the actual camp lor ..wasted..haha...oh yar..another accomplishment was that i also won over another notorious guy! this guy was also marked as notorious. but he's better than the one mentioned...as in he's not the 'big boss' type as the other one. this boy i can see that he wants to have fun, but due to 'face' he acted like he wanna rebel like that..so i got him to be my anchor man when we were doing high element. den i talked to him and thus won him over. when he was scolded by the cco, he got angry and with the other guys, he went off the place. so i go n get them back, and i spoke to them and turned to leave for the element with the parting words "i want to see you all back there now". and guess what..this boy actually was the first to stand up and follow me back! i was really happy, coz i know he just got scolded and was pissed, but yet he still went back with me! yeah! the other boys follow suit lar..haha...

yupz..overall, the camp was indeed fun! haha...i enjoyed the trip back so much! instructors wise, well, i can say that there's really ALOT of new instructors...with the 3hr campfire..(damn shag lar!!) and new instructors, the campfire wasnt that ra-ra..maybe for my major grp and my grp even..those boys wun wan to cheer one..the ah bengs boys think they are too cool for cheers lor..sianz..a superlast min camp fire item with like 10min of prep and no rehersals...with a horase(me) instructor leading their cheers..whoa..shag manz..hahaha...i also liked the instructors coz can see that although they are new, they are learning...not like some old ones...who tot they know everything..hahahaha...no fingers pointed at anyone lar...but im still learning...machiam i feel like im like a newbie sia...

as compared to my radin mas pri 5 camp, i enjoyed this camp more. although that camp tomy was there and i got someone to talk kok to and bitch to, but i just like sec sch camp more lar..haha..radin mas camp was like a chong chu jiang hu camp for both of us...old, but new..haha...many things changed indeed...now cant 1 cheer chuang tian xia le...the newbies all got combo cheers sia!! ughh..hahaha..

anywayz, i shud be all geared up for the next upcoming camp! westgrove pri 5 camp on mon-wed! hahaha...must be mad...3 camps all with a 2-day interval...old le..even with a 2day interval i still feel tired..last time back-to-back camps also wun tired one lor..i just need my voice back!!!! voiceless for this compassvale camp, cannot be for the other one lar..=p the nxt camp will be even more fun coz some programmers are also going! yeah!!

so..can see that's y i haven been finding jobs...no time..hee...can something just land frm the sky?=p...no shit please...
