Pre-camp preparations ...

It's been a very long time since I go for a camp, the last one should be last year June (TJ CO Camp) i think. But it's not a camp organised for me, it's a camp we seniors planned & carry out for the juniors. So the last true official camp organised for me is the Leo Club June Camp i guess. Hmmm...which is in June 2004!!! That's so long ago!!! So it's really been a very very long time since I enjoy myself with the total fun & crazy activities during camps! Miss the days!! Heex... Have been organising & carrying out camps activities as OGLs and Group Leaders for so long, totally forgot the feeling of looking forward for an adventurous & fun-loving days under the SUN!!

Camps Attended:

1998:

Primary 5 OAC at Punggol. Activities like High Elements, Canoeing etc & we sleep beside the canoes because it was raining heavily.

2000:

Sec 1 Orientation Camp in CCHS. Activities like ice-breakers, amazing race etc.

2001:

Sec 2 OAC at CCK. Activities like High Elements, Canoeing etc & we sleep in tents. Still remember singing Oldies like 给我一个吻,我要你的爱,爱我别走 for our performance.

MOE CO Camp at TCH. It's a camp that didn't require any physical training except sitting there for practices from 8am to 5pm with a short lunch & tea break in between. But I got to know friends from other schools which is very rewarding. We had a performance at NYG at the end of the camp.

Counsellor Camp in CCHS. Activities like amazing race, wet games etc & we sleep in classrooms, making 3 tables as a "bed". We earn our own food through games, the winner gets more canned food then the rest and we cook using the fuels and tins.

East Zone DYB 低音部 Camp in NASS. It's a camp for all cellists and bassists studying in the East to gather and play music together. It's the very first concert that my parents came to support.

2002:

Counsellor Camp in CCHS. It's the usual annual council camp, but it's always the most fun one. It's just because of the people. We play with flour, water etc.

East Zone CO Camp in DHS. It's the camp that I met alot of nice & fun cellists whom I still keep in touch now. It's the 1st time performing in VCH too.

2004:

First Orientation Camp in TJ. My OG is very very fun!!! We played, we laughed, we worked hard to gain every single point! We even performed during the O Nite. Hahahaha...The lame performance, S.H.E with brooms dancing SUPERSTAR...hahaha...with Shufang & Uen Chun. The guy's basketball tricks & the advertisements acted out.

Second Orientation Camp in TJ. It's not so much of fun, because my classmates are so boring during the camp. I was thinking that I would be bored to death in the class. hahaha...but I was wrong... They kept me entertained for the rest of the 2 years, even till now. LOL.

TJCCO Camp. It's the worst camp that I've ever gone to. I got very bad experience with my seniors, which till now I still don't really like them. I just felt that they are hypocrites, and the kind which think that they are very capable. Well, I believe in leadership. But I just don't agree in the way how CO exco works, because most of the people who got the top post were due to their good skills & good relationship with exco. It's the politics which I don't like. Thank them for giving me such a bad experience, that's why I appreciated my friends in Leo Club so much.

Leo Club - June Camp. It's the fun, the running about, the silly stuffs we do in public and the encouragement I get from my Group. It's the group with the most cooperations!!! Miss u guys!!!

Camp Voyage in TNS. It's the P4 having a 3D2N camp in school. YW & I volunteered to help out the Marlins to guide the kids. We had pre-camp, and worked with the rest of the Group Facilitators. Some were from CCHS like Stefanie, Khai Wan & Keat Meng, while the rest are from TJ like me & Hui xian. We had lots of fun together because we trusted each other alot, be it in games or the lower elements. I think that's also the reason why we were still having fun even though the little ones were giving us trouble. We will just sit there in the middle of the night and talk about what happened that day and which kids were giving us troubles. The kids were like little devils in the day, but when you see them sleep at night, they are little angels and then you will just forget the anger. I think it's the most challenging camp I've ever been to. Besides taking care of myself, I need to take care of other 7 girls, while my partner Marcus (Big)need to take care of the rest of the boys. We carried their bags for them during the amazing race in ECP, helped them during dragon boating and ensured their safety at CDANS. I miss little marcus & annabella.

December Street Camp in TJ. It's a 3 Days camp organised by TJ Leo Club for the kids living in Bedok. Me and my fellow facilitators had to take care of 15 kids, luckily I had a group of very caring & patience facilitators. If not, we will have a difficult time handling the kids. Our group was Group 5 - fairies. We had to come out with a performance on the last day when all the parents would come to watch their kids perform. So we came out with the fairies + 3 little pigs story. It's so cute lah... Hahahaha...

2005:

TJCCO Camp. I went back with my fellow cellists & bassists to help out during the camp and met some seniors too. During the husting I was doing some Maths qns at the back of the room, and I got complained by my seniors. Whatever. So I went to the canteen to continue with my work.
