The Beginning

-disclaimer- this post shall be kept short and sweet. -disclaimer-

The day started off with Breakfast! It was rather nice. Then was VLs activity where campers get to play Captain Ball. Which was rather sian cause I did nothing besides cheering my team up, they did really well winning every game :D good job guys! Except FABIAN POH stone nia.

Then it was dragon boating, the only 2 person on the same boat from my group was the two guys. Dragon boating really brought me closer to the waters, but when I look around realizing it was only a freaking reservoir it turned me off. I just hate being confined in a fixed boundary. Sigh wonder when I could fulfill my dream of taking up diving and let the skies be the limits.

Next was lunch where C got really pissed off with K cause she somehow didn't respected her words? idk. C was really damn pissed that's all but I guess she was just too tired as they talked later on without much of a problem.

I then gathered my group (C and J ditched me, walau.) and led them to the Triangular garden where we had our briefing for the SunBeam place children and had friendship dance session. We welcomed the kids and my group was assigned with 4 kids namely, D, A, L and J. They were a bunch of little brats I would say, especially the guy he totally daoed me when I tried to talk to him. I somehow asked F and MG to talk to him instead and I was really touched by how MG and F managed to crack his golden mouth after a long period of daoing. Although it was only a short visit, I could see how happy they were during the games and interaction. After everything was a debrief, this is where we learnt about their life in SunBeam place and how some of them were abused by their parents while others are orphans. I shall not say more, maybe I would do a post about children next. Really really pissed off now.

The day ended off in gloomy weather with a fiery BBQ pit and the warm smile of the campers. As we set around having our last meal (as a camp) together. Everyone just set around smiled at each other and just waited for their food to be cooked. But I'm sure a genuine smile is worth more than an hour of conversation (:

Everyone gathered at the student lounge for a final debrief, from what all the campers had said. I am sure they had learnt a lot, and so have I. It had indeed been a memorable 2D1N camp for all of them.

Well I guess all things come to an end, it the memories that matters right? This camp had really benefited me a lot. I had gained experience as a FA as well as meeting many people with a heart of gold to help people, the world aren't such a bad place after all <: The camp also had brought me closer to the other VLs as I was rather detached due to much inactivity in meetings and prior events due to unforeseen clashes. Let us all spread the spirit together, shall we?

somehow this camp reminds me of the SWP camp (: heartfelt memories...
