as usual
ppl hu didnt report on time
so our camp chief aka instructor shaam (sum of u may know he's ODAC p)
made us do pumping AT E FREAKIN TRACK
tts exactly how i got e bruises on my knees
sighs
every1 was forced due to e camp theme
'one for all, all for one'
which at e end of e day
felt rather meaningful
then nxt aft we settled in our bunks which was
juz actually classrooms (1133 for me)
we went for values workshop
rly tried my best to stay awake
'yawns
i did take notes down in my notebk
btw juz 2 add my notebk pages was all black

this was e start of pure hell
we moved to LAC
OMFG
i been thr lyk 6 times (including this time)
- - totally sian diao
played general games n high e n rock climbing
also had sandcastle building planning n discussion
basically
a rather long tiring day
1 thing to note was tt our instructors malikka, wei lun n charlie liew
facilitated us aft every activity tt we did
askd many qns tt rly got us reflecting
this was wat made e experiance an eye-opening one bah
lastly we had vision workshop part 1
in which e 3 class leaders got tgt to rly think of our class vision

DAY 3
today's e most back-breaking day man!
SANDCASTLE BUILDING!

our grp did on e asthestics area of AJ campus 2038
will post on blog if thr's a pic of our final masterpiece
nearly drove us crazy cos e part we were workin on kept crumbling down
LOL
but still we persevered on n introduced flexibilty
(u can tell tt was part of e reflection thingy)
so our final sandcastle structure was still successful =)
we also played general stns
n had e conflict management workshop as well as
the continuation of vision workshop
we also discussed on our SL proj tt was given to us during e camp
was rly rly damn funny lar!
our team included yilin n her class leaders
had a great laugh durin discussion time
but anyway here's e gist of our SL proj
we're organizing activities to interact wif the elderly at xin yuan community care
loads of funny ideas was brought up here!!! ROFL
at nite
i had a very bad headache
had problems even walkin straight
totally crazy man

but still had abit of stomach prob....
since it was raining
we went indoors n played games
aft which was e 1st aid workshop
wish darl was e 1 conducting e workshop
nxt up we had e values workshop part 2
then we discussed e final details of SL proj
and tryin out e games we planned

we also practiced fine-tunin our singing HAHA!

DAY 5
its e SL day 2day! (at e same time counting down
to land ex n last day =p)
went to e community centre n picked up e elderly ppl
had a lot of fun interacting wif them n playin e games
but yar
thr's e lang barrier
i only knew abit of teochew
all of them spoke diff dialects including teochew
had a hard time communicating
thankfully sum of them understood chinese
but thru this SL i learnt alot frm e elderly ppl
