Group Camp

Returned from group camp on Monday. Was really quite drained of energy and had been resting and bumming around till now where i finally mustered the energy and discipline to update my lil blog.

Well i went to group camp feeling worse than being a piece of shit and totally against my own free will but only due to responsibility and obligation. But well i am glad i still made it through the camp. Though i am burnt out still and not really happy all the time, but at least emo-ness is kept at bay. I was kept all busy that there was not much time for my thoughts to wonder off to anything tragic that will trigger off the floodgate.

Friday:
My camp started off with the ventures at ubin. Their Lost in Nibu Island play went quite smoothly and according to plan except for the part of the nibites and checkpoint games in the afternoon which got hijacked by ogre wong. Quite sad foor my juniors too, though i understand david's rationale, but still i am against his stubborness and being all assertive abt his own ideas. Changing people's plan to suit what he thinks without sparing a thought for how others feel when their effort is gone to waste just like that. Argh frustrated. But other than that I am really proud of my juniors. They managed the show well, and they do acted like seniors to their incoming juniors. very well done on the whole though there are slip-ups but it's great improvement.

Well basically, ubin didn't turn out as bad as i had imagined. Wasn't commanded around like a maria. Good thing. I was really left alone to help my juniors out. Quite stress-free and carefree lah. It wasn't too strenuous too since I didnt have to take part in the checkpoint games and night fast march n solo walk. I was the checkpoint masters same as the other rover seniors. Good. Phew.

My NUS letter of rejection came finally on that night though. Felt like i just sank right to the bottom of a dark and endless pit. But well was really glad that my dad is so supportive and yepz was really happy with the idea of leaving camp at day break to get ready to go to the IDP fair. Really grateful to have such a sweet leader like VL who granted me the off day frm camp.

Sat:
I am really grateful for this day break. Thank goodness. Left ubin with 3 others 1st thing in the morning. Really not in the mood for anything. So i am just relieved that i can escape camp though only for a short short while.

IDP fair was quite ok, collected some brochures which are quite informative and check out the bank loan offer as well. But sadly, after daddy reviews them, it's still not gonna work out. Really thanks alot to dua tao for his company at the fair. At least i wasnt so lost. I bumped into Emmeline at the fair too. She's also in the same plight as me and looking at UWA psychology too! how coincidental. Caught up with her and Praise God, I felt so much more strengthened and edify after talking to her. Thanks babe! Her optimism and faith in God is so contagious!

Back at campsite in the evening, and sigh i was overwhelmed by all those lil brats runing around the campsite. Really feel like slaughtering them all. Especially since i am so no mood for everything.

Night cycling was hell. haha quite fun but very very very gruelling cos i am a LOUSY cyclist. Didn't really enjoy it alot. But the games session was quite fun. But well haha guess i am just not in the mood for everything.

Sun:
Amazing race day. Checkpoint games around the island of Singapore. Gosh i really almost murdered the boys. They are so hard to handle!! I like the quiet and semi blur ones though. The soft spoken kind of boys. So MUCH easier to treat them well as compared to those brats who would listen only when you scream at them.

Campfire was ok. Supposed to help my juniors go through and prepare for their colours ceremony for next morning once they are done tying the flag pole but wei shan and I were so shagged we ended up drifting to the far away land of La La Land. LOL

Mon:
Colours went REALLY well. Gosh my juniors are talented. Shaun is natural with piping! And alfred was great. He commanded everyone's attention well. And he really can COMMAND. As he helped out with the breaking of campsite, he was so effective in getting all the people to listen especially the small boys. Small boys are so dumb i realise, they don't respect girls at all and they only respect the bigger boys like literally bigger boys. Size n volume matters to them. so dumb

So yeah above is just a brief summary of group camp. Think this one pales in comparison to the past 2 group camps that i had gone to. Desaru last year was the best. This year seem like just another camp to me. Not much significance. And well guess mayb just no mood ba.
