CHIJ Toa Payoh Day EventT Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Had a day event with CHIJ Toa Payoh primary schooL. Basically there are pri4 girls. It was quite a great event considering that Jer is doing again. Finally doing stuff together again. And started the day with abit of problem with one of our instructors somehow M.I.A . Luckily for us, we manage to get Alvin as our replacement.
Anyway,I was given group7. The only group without a mirror. Played spiderweb,had abseiling,zipline and rockwall. Due to the time constraint, only half of the group was able to do either abseiling or zipline. Sorry that had to disappoint those that wanna try zipline. I remebered they were all like saying PLEASEEEEEEE to me at the end but really had no chioce.
The group I had were great The girls were fun and somehow become quite united as time pass.They encourage one another and taught them how to play SPLAT and they just started to play and play and play that game even when I was not around ,they just automatically carry on playing. And they really nice girls, during those rah rah session, they will defend me. 7 UP ROCKS seriously.
Luckily it was a day event or esle I guess I gonna get "molested" like mad. Some of them were like whacking my butt after they get to know me. But really, this event was fun, and it was nice having these girls. Really had lots of great time with them.
Some random stuff. Was wondering after this camp which I was not involve in, so many things happen. And I'm disappointed that this particular colleague of mine. Honestly, issue started with above authority, why wanna bring it down and cause unhappiness among instructors. Whatever happen up there, is not our problem. I guess you are simply just too political. And sad to say you are an instructor who is educating campers but yet dont show a good example of yourself in real life.
I dont know what happen,but it just wasnt like this until that camp. Anyway, I hope we all can be neutral in terms of within instructors but whoever you wanna work under should be an individual issue. Just helping my fellow colleague to voice out what wrong and what I feel even though I am not involve. But yea, definitely instructor bonding will be affected .

After breaking camp for NUS high, went home to sleep and woke up to go bottletree to do sentry, it was paid, so BaoYun and me went for it and the teacher were very nice, they bought mac chicken and filet o fish each for us. Anyway, finish sentry at 6.30am and had breadfast before reaching home at about 9 plus.
Baoyun and me. We are known as ES (emotional support) haha
Slept until like 3pm before going out again.
While, I was suppose to meet GuanglinG
on Tuesday but in the end cause I was doing NUS high school camp so met her on Friday instead.
Quite ironic, the last time we met was like early last year for mahjong and before that, I guess we just met about twice but we had been chatting on msn and stuff,so contact were still there just never meeting up. Busy people that why no time.
Anyway, had lots of stuff to chat, was having coffee at Taka coffeebean but she had choco instead and chilled for close 2 hours before heading to HK cafe for our dinner and moving on to balocony for a drink. Been a long time since I had alcohol. ANyway, we also walked around and realise Heeren seem to be like a Ghost town nowadays,its sooo freaking quiet.
Me and GuanglinG,CHEERS

NUS HIGH SCHOOL CAMP
20TH- 22TH 2008
Went to NUS High school early in the morning and find the school looked great and the design were nice. Saw a soccer field and we were wondering why they had a soccer field when we dont even know if they have a team. So we started teasing by saying, probably they need to measure the energy needed, power, the angle to curl the ball into the net ,not forgetting the speed of the wind. :)
Anyway,that not the point for the blog. Before starting camp, I already knew this school its gonna be different from other normal school so was more or less prepared for it. Met year2 class 7 also known as LOLLOW in thier classroom. It was a big nighmarish to start with, the guyz were simply noisy. After that, had an observation of the school generally before boarding the bus. Realise the school girls were relatively mature but the guyz seem to be miles apart, you just feel like dissecting some of them apart.
Reached Pasir Ris and started having ice-breaker and it was really great to see class 2/5 of SAC there too. It was quite depressing to see the guyz in the group before lunch. Unable to do the cheer loudly, no enthusiasm in them. So decided to change certain approach and somehow things got better after lunch and when Glenn and Daniel came, it was much stronger.
Had big event as well as kidnap and been a long long time since I won kidnap. WELL DONE LOLLOW,we end day1 on a high.
Day2, we had double or nothing. Went to Elias mall to get sweet and put them in packet, spend a total of about 10 bucks and get back about 40 bucks before having campfire prep at one of the shelter area. This time from what I know , the group got the highest percentage in terms of spending to what they earn compared to the other group so once again. They show their capability.
Had Gladiators, I can only sympathize my team as I know they deserve and should be the winner for the decision make were quite ambigious. I know the team was quite angry and felt it was really unfair. Tough luck for all of you but still, I felt this team had been the best thoughout and not anytime I feel you all should be at the losing side for gladiators. Ended gladiators with the overall winner against instructors. :P
TO class 207 aka Lollow
It was nightmarish first meeting all of you. I didnt know what to do but right after lunch,the class spirit just start to move up and never went down after that. Base on the event we had, it really goes to show how strong can the class be. The different character that the class possess really show the diversity you have, make use of them to face greater challenges ahead. Appreciate one another for they are the people that you spend this 3Days 2 Night with,you expereince being scolded by me, being a winner, getting unfair decision and had a performance together as a class. Remeber I asked you this question. Do you want to be the best class. From what I see, I dont your answer but your action certainly had make me feel that the answer is WANT.
On a more personal note. I just like to thanks everyone of you for the wonder 3 Days we had together. It fun being with all of you. Playing ouch orbi orbi with me whacking and being whacked by Hui Kang real loud and also Daneil and gang for constantly linking me to the female instructors. And yea, having the rabbit nicole. haha, seriously ,she looked like one lah . And yea, how can I forget shao xiong, never ever watch sentimental show with him, he will make it a comedy for you. And yea, LAO NU REN mei fang. My 2 Jonathan Wee and Lee also the gladiators warrior. Basically, It been a long time in a camp since I can remember all of your name and faces. So people, take care and always do well in life. NUS HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT A BORING SCHOOL AS I THOUGHT , Thanks to LOLLOW CAUSE ALL OF YOU ROXXXX ;)

HAPPY 207

DUNMAN HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL CAMP YEAR2T Saturday, May 17, 2008
DUNMAN HIGH SCHOOL
YEAR2 LEVEL CAMP
13-16 MAY 2008
DAY1
Met my group at Dunman High. The first time I saw them, I thought it may be abit boring and with so many new instructors coming now, I was stress cause we had to guide them as well. But less on that and more to my group. It was quite a rush in school as we got to rush to the bus and started to introduce ourslve, which is me and my mirror huiqi in the bus we move towards marina pier. Oh yea, had this very friendly teacher known as Mr Han and he was a nice guy.
Anyway, we reach st john island and had some cheers fight and seriously, WE OWNED majorA even though most of their group reach. Oh yea, group 9 was Garung and 10 was GUNI :P .I had roti prata for fairfield and garung runi for DHS.
Had amusing race the whole day and I dun find it that amusing but more of a bit endurance test especially with running around st john and doing monster inc which was the toughest among the rest but PEOPLE, I'm proud that all of you did it as a team and almost caught up the team which started way earlier than you. :P Anyway, had kidnap with the person being tied infront of the others.
Had sentry anyway for day1 night.
Day2
It was a rainy day. We had like campfire prep for like 4hours and I'm glad that it was not in vain, they had their wonderful plot which make me laugh like there is no tomorrow and of course to MR YOU LONG who said "if you wanna get a cute wife like me" . haha ,totally burst out into laughter. Yup, had some issue in the morning in the team and they are quite unwilling to open up but luckily as time pass, it got better. Had dry rafting so abit of actions before day2 end was great and finish off with a candle war at night before light out at 10.30pm. First day was 11pm.
Day3
Started the day with gladiators and yea, had to learn the mass dance of DHS with GET HIGH by F,I.R and then taught them para para. It was really fun.
The days have been quite standard as time pass. We ended all the activites with MLC, even though my team got one of the lowest but at least everyone did played a part and enjoyed as one big whole. Winning isnt everything, to win ,i can get my best players for MLC but its that the outcome I want, HELL NOOOOO.
Campfire started out on a high really high and garung guni was the first up and I'm glad,they entertained the rest. And we had Lian-ing after that but it went down after that with most of the team doing almost similar plot of life in camp. Quite emo at night after debrief but thanks MOOK for what you said to me, it was really nice of you and I'm glad the camp changes you as well :P
Day4
Basically it was farewell to my Garung GUNI
TO TEAM GARUNG GUNI
A 4 days 3 night camp seem long at the start but when everything ends, the feeling disappear and it became why is it so short.
Always be appreciative of one another, you had the toughest test of the lots doing pumping,buddha clap,monster inc all at one row,this kind of endurance and hardship is only endured by each of you here and it couldnt be any better without any of your encourage and the spirit you had put in.
Campfire was great, I'm proud of all of you for being so sporting especially Gavin and Zhang Xin. Our skit was indeed a uniques one, no one had similar ideas as yours. It was entertaining and with a great choir at the back, the impact which I told you before campfire was archieved.
Last but not least, in a camp, its not so much on what you get at the end but more of what you learnt and felt during the process. Cherish each moment you have :)
Personally from me to all of you.
It was really fun and enjoyable this 4days, being in st john,I was also exhausted but you all give me the strength,the spirit and the wonderful performance. I really appreciate the different help you all gave one another or gave me during camp and the spirit you had. We had our ups and downs but I'm glad its just going to be up up and AWAYYYYY :)
Once again I thanks all of you and I will miss each one of you even though I still have problem remembering all your names. Always remember

FairField Methodist Sec2 Camp
TEAM ROTI PRATA :)
6-9 May 2008
Reach the school at close to 7.40am and met the student soon after, got class 2 D aka ROTI PRATA. It was quite easy to talk to them even before any introduction made. Anyway, it was quite a rushing as we had to take attandance then straight go up to the bus where me and my mirror Amanda start to know them better :)
There was nothing much on day1 beside just doing low elements and campfire prep. Night activity was boring with Blinds man walk but as usual I love doing the part on making the student walk by themselve and find their friend to let them appreciate their peers more. For my group, we had to kinda clean the toilet for the night. And yea, sentry for the night with Tammy , she was like super afriad of me telling her which hut was haunted.
Assembled at 7.30am for breadfast and headed for Belay School, and CRC. Belay school was held in CRC and I felt its better for E.F.I to do the BS but due to some complications, instructors got to do it instead. Seeing the weather was about to rain, I kinda delayed the start of CRC and I was right on spot, CAT 1. And had CRC change to the indoor rockwall instead. The process was relatively quick I guess, however, when Pavon was climbing, it brought the most applause and cheers. Charles belayed him while achorman was me before Tee Kun join me. And yes Dorothea is indeed a very determination girl,I remebered her crying and was prepared to let her down but she still want to climb and its the will in you, if you want to, we will help you.
Basically the mood was much lower and since the 2nd slot after lunch was cat1 again,the student make use of the time to do campfire prep again and it was quite worrying for Amanda and me because they were not too enthusiatic about it, they didnt know their role well and it seem far too long. Had kidnap at night ,Kent your clue are quite cannot make it. haha.
Had 10 over tries before getting the key and still came in 6th out of 18th.
3rd day was when everything change. It was much much better. Kayaking first and first Charles spoke to them and then after kayaking ,I left the group for awhile and thats when things change, they start to be more pro-active in what they are doing and did it as a team.
After lunch, they had abseiling and zipline and I felt there was one intellectual joke about Pavon coming down from the zipline. He was basically bouncing up and down and I forget who said this "wah, PAVON 3 Issac Newton 0" It meant he defy the gravity law done by issac newton for those who need explainations.
5.40pm -6.20pm was their wash up, they met me and Amanda at 6.30pm instead and I ask why so late, I heard they were not suppose to tell me but someone spilled the beans and told me they were practising their campfire prep instead and in this point of time, I was quite elated yet still compose. It was just part1, then 15minutes into dinner time, they disappeared again and I went to look for them, they were under hut3 reharsing again and I decided not to join them and till to the cheer part then I came in.
The performance was great, I didnt even know some dialogue that was on-going. It was simply awesome. I was quite touched when I saw the performance honestly. :P
To class 2D : Since day1,I told you I know you all have the quality to be a very very strong class and united one, you had the qualities but the questions come if you want or dont want but I'm glad the answer was WANT at the end of the day. The spirit you had were electrifying and it was shown even more clearly in the bus.
Thanks for the great time and I hope all of you will do well in whatever you do, take care always :) and thanks Amanda for the 4days3night ,it was phew weet to work with you :)
A few of class 2d :P HAPPY PEOPLE
Me and Amanda

Poly Forum06 outing 1st MayT Friday, May 2, 2008
Labour day was great. Met up with my poly forum06 mates again. Its been close to 2 years since I met them.
Anyway, went to vivo to just have dinner and chill. Team leader Kristen was the organizer and those present were Terence,Kian Ming, Cheng kai,David,Wan,Kai,Thomas,Edwin,Alyssa,Janice,Amanda,Angel. The actual group is about 50 over people but I guess it quite great to have this number of people after more than about 2 years from poly forum.
Did some funny stunt like a holy act carrying some of them using just 2 fingers after some 'mediation". Quite cool actually cause before the meditation thinggy, we were unable to carry the person but after that we can just lift her/him up.
Had alot of catching up with them and finally found someone who gonna enlist on the same day as me,which is wan. Soon to be policeman :)
Some of the photos we took :)
