Just went back from my camp at Kahang Koref Malaysia. It was super tiring, but i've a feeling of satisfaction and i made some new friends.
Day 1
I walked from my house to the new MJR. So sickening!! If only it moved earlier, i could have walked to school everyday and finally get the chance of those who have school super near whom doesn't need to wake early for travelling. UrggH!! Anyway, at first i was super noob. Afraid that i would get lost and be late, i trail behind some juniors and tagged along till i reach MJR. Abit stupid but efficient. I reach school on time.
Then the other instrutors gathered at the canteen and start to learn about our bus allocation and the group instructors, blah blah blah. I was assigned as a group instructor and a bus IC of 3F, a last express class just like i'm in last time. So, i hope we could get along well. Thus, being as blur as i can be, i'm quite lost at start. Met some familiar MJR teachers. Miss them soo much. Hugged with Ms Yvonne Tan. She's not following her class as we are going Malaysia and she have a baby to look after. Aww. While we were still at the parade square settling stuffs, Mdm Ernie who pass by me to say something through the mic out of a sudden grab me and say 'Eh! aren't you from MJR too?' and she smack my ass. OH my. I'm wondering how could teacher's mind be so good that they could remember most students face!! Well, i know i'm quite not a good student, but to remember me even though she never teach me before, it's something! (But i'm not glad that i'mthat popular as i don't remember people and names that well. )
Board the bus with tohwee, john and david my partner. David and i were first timers thus we leave most the things to brief them about to them. Anyway, Mr Lim who say his a formal DM (I thought he's always a DM) was with our bus. So, there isn't any crowd control to talk about actually. Pass through both customs swiftly, though the last to leave but not the last to reach.
The manjusrians were told to pitch their tents, learned that they went obs the previous year, thus they pitch their tents super fast. The time taken for Manjusri to finish pitchong all their tents were 15 mins. We had lunch first and gether and from now on, it rained heavily which blurs vision which forces us to hold the activities from going on. The manjusrian were super cut-off sprit. And some intructors still forces them to behave and complain about their behaviour. Just think. You come for a camp happily expecting to have fun with activities and so on but out of a sudden it rain. It's so turn-off. Who would still want to listen.
Gathered them all, had a talk by toh wee and geovenn for them to understand the rice cultivation as they have lots of worksheets to fill in with. Decide to seperate the classes for them to have campfire prep and we group instructors control. It was a mess. The noice of the rain were to loud to overcome. It lasted sometime and when the rain start to lighten, we decide to ask them wear their ponchos and continue with all activities. This lasted till dinner. Then they continue with their night walk.I followed in and the first time you wal in it was kind of creepy.
After which, around midnight where the activities that day reach an end, they have to go back to their tents to sleep. Poor manjusrians, their clothes and bags and tents were soaking wet. My group keep complaining to me that they don't have any dry clothes to wear. Anyway, the instructors had a debrief and the first tim in the toilet was... The toilet is a place which gathers the insects. They didn't disturb us though. The water was super duper
Cold. It takes time to get use to it. Went to canteen to list to azad and dom's crap and bull, decide that i couldn't take it anymore thus lie and my bed and drift away.
The above was what i typed directly when i return from camp. However, due to laziness, i didnt continue on.. =P
Will my tears please go back.. 10:11:00 AM
