Camps

This week was the busiest week during the holidays.
Went for two camps.
OAL camp and CHSNPCC Annual Camp.

Practically now i am still tired,
although after a long sleep ytd.

Monday
went to school in the morning,
meet up with 10 of the rest of the oal
then was briefed by mr han
then we took over and briefed the leaders to be

we r needed there to help to train up the leaders
then they can help out with the school activities next year.

me and nic wee was together with grp 1 as their ics
proceeded on with the hike to the changi campsite
after they had planned their route
originally, their plan was walk to yiochukang
then sengkang
then bedok,
then reach changi
luckily they changed and went to the easier track
like wat my grp did last year
had lunch at a canteen
quite okay de food
sms there to clear my boredom
continued on
went to marine parade to have a break
then behind us was a hdb flat
which was on fire
we were wondering why there were so many fire engines coming
continued on to ECP
walk down the whole stretch of beach and reach the campsite second
waited for a while for some other grps
had dinner
and played some team building games
then mr gohs group came back
finally, as usual
had debrief
then went to sleep
where some of them was playing true or dare
and i was like woke up then they spin to me
then had to played on

quite funny though,
beginning to like this game

tueday
woke up
had some stretching with the campers
had breakfast
then went down to sea
was the first to launch out
so fun for the rest of the day
with some the tired looks of the leaders
quite slack actually, did not paddle that long dist like last year
beach up for lunch
then launch out again
that time the wave quite big
so was enjoying the waves
was like going directly against the wave
then the kayak went up and crash down on water
love the sea seh
then went back
still quite early
played catching
using kayak
was like spamming the paddle everywhere
still got caught in the end.
then all oal capsize in the sea
with the thick kayak called dolphin
which was not meant for capsize
as the base was very big
capsize already then cannot empty the water
so beach up and clear the water
while the rest of campers went back up
had a hard time
then dragged our kayaks back
was pissed off after that
then cleaned up
and ate the last dinner
proceeded with some cameras
taking some photos
now all on facebook
then went back with the np guys for the next day camp

wed - fri
npcc camp
overall quite okay
certainly had improved my leadership skills
and planning skills also
also learnt a lot from the officers
and had some new views on leadership

"leaders have to sacrifice for others
leaders have to see the bigger picture
if things have to be done, no matter how harsh the conditions are, it have to be done."
