at first i thought that it would be a camp that would train our techniques and so on. but then, it was actually a bonding & learning camp!! and i had such a great time over the weekends. =)
there were so much things that i've learnt through this camp, and there will still be more to learn in future.
the games were really really fun, and it's the people you play together with that makes every part of the game fun. and i had to be SAILORMOON for project runway!! my group kana sailormoon, and at that moment i was like "shit! confirm me one." but must enthu so just did it. unforgetable experience. i still cant believe i did that on the first day of camp, serious.
100 secs no NG was fun. must beat the 100 secs and finish all the stations. all about teamwork and knowing your group members' strengths and using the strengths to help the group.
pocky cow was a super noisy game. cause everyone got to distract and make alot of noise. i shout until my voice cannot tahan liao. lessons learnt: trust & listen.
through the "thrashing session" on the 2nd day, alot of issues were brought out and i could feel the pain in my heart. although i didnt tear, but the pain was there and it made my eyes water a little. and on that day, i realised that many had this feeling that i also had, the feeling of being alone. now that i know, i am not alone!! =)
there was also allegra & wangqin's activity too. to learn 8 eights of choreo within 30 mins isnt easy at all. it was really hard to stay focus because of the time limit and also the distractors. at the same time, had to learn the choreo faster than normal classes, which i'm not used to it at all.
serving people & being served during dinner was really nice. the feeling is good. you appreciate the things people do for you, at the same time, people appreciate the things you do for them. it's both give & take. yup, thanks to those who served me!! =)
and there was also Ann's game. split into groups, each group de leader got to draw a card, "deaf", "blind" or "mute", then the leaders would have to teach the group 2 eights for 5 mins. my group got deaf!! and being deaf is very difficult to communicate. thanks to allegra and jaei whom taught us really really well!! being deaf is hard, you cant enjoy music like normal people can, you can only do the steps, but you cant dance to music. being blind is hard as well, you cant see yourself dancing. this game linked to the movie screening. the story of Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller. a really meaningful movie!! it makes me realise how fortunate i am, to be able to see, hear and speak.
on the last day, debrief & writing feedback and also writing "thank you" notes to those whom i really want to thank. at first, i dont know what and how to write the "thank you" notes. until i received one from steffi!! thanks loads!! yup, then after that i started writing a few. and also thank you to those who wrote to me too!!
after the entire camp, i really do feel i've opened up a little. i've gotten to know more people whom i have never talked to before. i have not totally opened up, but time will tell. i believe i will. thanks everyone for everything!!!
