I'm back! With a bang. Alright. I've gone missing for a couple of weeks now. Figured it's time to blog a lil something. And since i am rarely online, this is the perfect opportunity.
So wad's been up for the hols? Trainings. Work. ATC. Injuries. Kukup. Trainings. Injuries. Work. Keming Primary School Camp (my virgin camp as a cynovate instructor *sniffles*) Loss of voice. Work. Well-deserved break from everything. Trainings. Work. Heh. Yup. My life is so predictable.
Kukup was really nothing but fun. Kelongs were terrorized and mangrove swamps became our photo studios. Kudos to all the camera whores with camera-dar. Funny how when the word "camera" echoes down the mangroves, everyone would embark on a mad-rush to be inside the picture. Tsk tsk. Haha. Aside to those...it was pig-out, pig-out and more pig-out sessions!!! Not to mention our fantastic night of fireworks display. *beams* a really cool time with u guys!!! Let's do it again sometime!!! Next time...we'll have more to contribute to the fireworks fund ya? Heh.
Alrighty. Besides that...as some of you guys might know, i was working at a primary school adventure camp as an instructor or 'mother hen' as they call it. So basically, my duties was as literal as the latter. I had to be a 'mom' (or 'dad' HAHAHA) to 15 'energizer bunnies'. Those were the days of non-stop screaming and running around trying to keep them all in check. But you know...its amazing how working with kids can bring so much joy and fufilment into your life. Its always good to hear compliments from people...but when they come from kids...its really really different. In fact, there were a few occasions where i was just so overwhelmed. Imagine hearing them say things like "she made me try things that i was afraid of", "she taught us many new things". One of them even told me "time flies very fast when we're having fun". And the most heartfelt of them all was a kid who asked if i was going to do anymore camps. I told him that perhaps in secondary school he might bump into me should he be lucky. And the next day he wrote in my notebook that he hopes to see me during his secondary school camp. Okie. So maybe they will forget eventually. But this experience will most likely be in their minds and hopefully...i was part of that experience. *smiles*
From the first day of camp where getting the guys and girls to hold hands was more chaotic than the long hello kitty queues at Macs, its such a grand feeling to see them all more integrated at the end of camp. Aside to that, its so heartfelt to know that all of them remembered what you taught them about courage, teamwork, selflessness and most importantly, care. They probably don't have to bring home everything the learnt at camp but as long as they brought back ONE single lesson, it is a job well done. Honestly, this was such an amazing experience. Not to mention that i am so impressed and in love with my cheer i/c (e big sized bespectacled one) and my best camper (e one in orange!!!) Heh. He's such an amazing young boy. Oh i could go on. A potential leader, motivator who's mature, selfless, thoughful, sensitive, enthusiatic, disciplined (he's in wushu!!!) and adorably cute! What more can i say? *beams*
My best camper (in orange!!!). He says he doesn't like to smile cuz he doesn't look nice. Who says so? Heh.
3 cheers and 3 cheers and 3 cheers for cynovate!!!
I am gg to zzz.
