RIV P4 Camp 2010

RIV P4 camp was finally over since a few months long preparation. Good job by all facilitators once again, creating another peak for the standard of camp. Peak after peak, thats what we are aiming for, and i believe next few camps will definitely improve.

1st Day
went to sch just around the time to board the bus. Wait for a while, then departed for Jalan Bahtera Campsite. It was at a quite ulu place, at a very cornered place at lim choa kang. In the bus was quite high, as all facils are ready to start work. Reached there around 3.30 then started work. Walk around the campsite, and just roaming with ben to see what can be done. Help out with some activities and took some photos.

Then dinner, was quite okay, then went for next activity. Twin tower. The senior facs all preparing for surprise for the facils at the second floor. Started preparing water bombs from the toilet. Prepared around 50++ water bombs. After that, when the kids are all wet, the facils eventually were the ones getting wet, by how, flying waterbombs and pail of water from second level. none was dry at the end. but fun ended quite abruptly with some unhappiness. Eventually was wash up then supper. Supper was in bad mood also, so dun mention over here. Then debrief for the kids. Then got the kids to sleep. As expected, more scolding is needed for the kids to get sleeping.

After that debrief, many things to mention, but all was worth it as second day proved that all facils had listened. then debriefed until around 1230 then dismissed all for wash up. Then went for senior facs briefing. Plan with edward for the next days activity, with support of marilyn and binglin at the side. And josh and ben for bbq food. planned all, went to bath then prepare the video. Finished the video at around 3 plus. then went to rest. at the centre bunk which is for senior facs. Slept at basement first, with all other seniors facs, but around 1 hour later, it started pouring, then went up to sleep. Super cold then. But after awhile woke up, then help to do sentry at my area cus it is quite rainy then. Check safety. So in total slept for 1 hour.like the average of wat all the others senior facs.

2nd Day
Rain started to subside, but still need to do some saikang in the rain. But nvm, did with edward. Played with our jackets. Funny. Then rushed them back to canteen for breakfast. Then started wet weather plan. Helped out with the teambuilding games, very funny for the group who came to me. Chicky dance by ezra. After that, was called by ed to do some wet weather plan. Then stayed at senior facs "command post". Trying out the walkie. fun sia. But at that time damn presurizing, pressing for time. but everything went well. after that, area cleaning, clear bunk, then took first bus back to riv. once reach back, settled the logistics for mini olympics. when i finished preparing, the rest was all back. so juz nice for lunch. briefed faci on games, then went back to hall. then was my activity. briefed the kids, then off they go. played with the airhorn, but proven to be very scary. but time short, snowball effect kicks in, until i cannot push anymore, ended the game. after that outdoor cooking. then my dinner.then started the preparing for camp fire. was with the walkie. called in alot of time. fun.

campfire, very shiok. started out like zi hai. at the back, performance by senior facs, gee, very nice. then my video. ended with the song. shouting the song, waving the flag. super nice. like one big family. after that campfire close, went back hall for debrief. took group photos went for supper.

This camp was very enjoyable. Thanks the seniors for the hard work in making the camp possible and helping out in previous years. Wish you all good luck in your future years. Taken new responsibilities, more committment, but i will definitely enjoy. once a riverlite, always a riverlite. look forward for the next gathering. thanks the seniors for passing down their legacy smoothly to us. and skills that i found very valuable during this camp. learnt most of the skills needed. I learnt many things during the camp adn i hope all facils had learnt something out of this camp.
