MOE Senior Leadership Camp
i just remembered that i haven't blogged on the MOE Senior Leadership Camp last wednesday to fryday, the 15th to 18th.
ok, i remember on tuesday night, the night before the camp, i was laughing at audrey cus she had to go for it and i didn't. haha, nahh, i was really really nice telling her how fun it was gonna be. (i was lying) well anyway, so wednesday morning, day one of the camp, loverly chrystal called me at 10 freaking 30 am, waking me up and saying...
chrys: hey max!
me: *grumble*
chrys: u wanna go for this MOE Leadership Camp? it's this camp where you'll learn to facilitate camps and you'll be facilitating sec 2 camp corri nex...
me: *mumbling* ehh?? isn't that today? (i was mumbling so much i was surprised she understood me)
chrys: yeah... but reporting time is at 12.30, but i'll try and push back the time for you, you can come at around 1.
me: wth... u do know i have to pack and stuff and m running out of clothes cus i just came back from confirmation camp on monday. (i was trying to make excuses, you see)
chrys: that's ok, all you need is any 4 school tops, or if u don't have then u could use any plain shirt. 2 shorts of any kind, 2 track pants (she started telling me the whole pack list, obviously she wasn't taking no for an answer) plus, it's quite a slack camp, and yeah, u wanted to go for OBS right, so this is gonna be just a really slack version of it,.
me: (brightening up at the word 'SLACK') okok, i'll see you then.
seriously, m such a bum. oh, today, i bought a can of green tea from the vending machine and when i was opening the can, i spilled green tea allll over, then when i was drinking it, my ballet friend was buying a can of drink for herself and the machine ate up her dollar, then she kicked it which made me laugh and spit out my green tea all over. then later while walking to the bus stop to go home, i burped REALLY LOUDLY. mahnnn, i think m starting to become a glutton.
ok, enough sidetracking, back to the topic of camp. so i made my way to school, i was surprised at how fast i packed my bag so i still had enough time to take the bus and saw no reason to take a cab, so i lugged my baggage all the way to school and was STILL early. we made our way to that changi camp place thing. i seriously think it was TOO slack, imagine that! wow, well, they had a lot of talks and were telling us points to remember while facilitating. in other words, nothing happened.
on the second day, it was much more funner, haha. we did the rock wall then high rope element. i was belaying for the first time in my life, and i was belaying jolena. poor girl, she got me as a belayer. well, at least she's still alive now, BE THANKFUL FOR THAT JO. well anyway, when jolena stepped onto the first rung of that ladder thing to go up, i got SOO nervous and started tightening the rope a lot. and when she was up on the SINGLE LOG (the most difficult of them all in my opinion), i started tightening it tighter and tighter even though i wasn't supposed to. until it got too tight and jo couldn't walk, WHOOPS, haha. ah well, she lived.
then it was abseiling and flying fox, i liked the flying fox, i was being really blur but hey, what's new? but i like it cus u know what? NO BELAYING! muahahahha.
then was lunch and KAYAKING!!!! i was anticipating it the WHOOLE DAY! and my partner was the ever so kayaking hating BECKY, ahahahaha. but after that, i didn't think i really like kayaking anymore, hahaha, our stupid boat kept going left, i have no idea why. stupid sampan.
came back and washed up. they taught us how to set up a campfire. it involves lots of wood, KEROSENE and cloth. HEHEHEHEH, sounds like a plan for disaster. and i kept falling asleep while they were explaining stuff to us, now you'll know who to blame if the whole of jalan batira(sp?) burns down during the sec2 camp sorri next year, hahahhaha.
yup, and that was practically it, we didn't do anything on the third day except clean up. but i really liked that place, i wished sec2 camp corri was gonna be held there, sadly no. the compound is much smaller, with more toilets and good food. and there's planes flying overhead like, forever. I LOVED IT. and it was so low that you would think that they would actually come crashing into you. and when you look up, you can see their wheels coming out, but most of the time they were already out, ready to land. nicee.
