hello peeps!
i'm finally back to post after my return from the 4days 3 nights camp.
beware okay! because this is going to be a super long post!

1st day (6 November 2009)
woke up at around 7.30am and prepared.
went to meet the rest outside Riverside.
jazlyn sent us off!=)
cabbed to onepeople.sg and registered
i'm separated from the rest since they are representing Riverside but i'm representing North West Community Development Council. i'm in group 9 while they are in group 11.
sat down in groups and introduced ourselves. and there's this guy called Kieron who represented South East CDC.
NWCDC and SECDC. lol
got contact numbers from all group members, ice breakers and etc.
then assembled in hall. introduction to campteen and onepeople and etc.
then there's this international handshake stuff-.-
had lunch next. nasi lemak. lol
i went to change and we set off to our campsite-Labrador Adventure Campsite or whichever way it is spelt. sat on the bus with Nitta. she's from thailand! haha
went to our bunks. not bad luh. got fans and beds. but NACLI is still better-the campsite where i had the NWCDC YLC8 camp! 5 person to a room with one toilet and comfortable beds and aircon!
gathered in groups again and the buffer time was too long. so sian lor.
then had some team building activities. but they don't really seem like team building activities de lor-.-
more on leadership instead. but the link isnt tt obvious-.- riverside de leadership training seems more effective lor. or even primary school leadership training was better
played some games after that- along the corridor at the canteen because it was raining and they forgot to plan wet weather activities. wow?
they realised that it isnt going to work and asked us to go for dinner instead. was still full from lunch. but i still ate.
the rain stopped and continued with the game. i didnt really participate since my view was blocked by the people standing in front.
had some presentation on youth wing after that. i think they should change the venue of the campsite. shouldnt the campsite have a place that's suitable for presentations and that over 240 people will be able to hear the presenters? oh well
had mini planning after that.
presented and it was time to bathe.
i was reminded of NACLI again. lol
i skipped supper and soon, it was time to sleep.
i realised i cant adapt fast well.
coulnt fall asleep at all until many hours passed.
anyway, i'm still grateful to jazlyn for staying up to sms with me=D
just when i was about to fall asleep, there was a fire drill
lol
many people were complaining about it-.-
and i think i have a phobia of fire drills=/
time for over 240 to gather is 8 min 54 sec, with one guy still sleeping soundly in his bunk. if it was a real fire, all of us would have died if we were to evacuate at this speed. touchwood>.<
went back to bunk nd still couldnt fall asleep until don't know when.

day 2 (7 November 2009)
woke up at around 6.30am
prepared and had breakfast..had chinese porridge and soya milk.damn full
bus-ed to fairfield methodist secondary school.
had dialogue. the auditorium was really cold.
went into the classroom for more dialogue. it somehow rang a bell. i'm rather racist actually. at the mention of loan sharks, the first thought people normally have will be chinese and etc.
had more more dialogue in the auditorium again. it was freezing cold la! 16 degree celsius, omg
C Kunalan came! omg, he's rather humorous actually. and he shared a nice love and family story with us=D
was hungry. had lunch. super full again.
bus-ed to YOG learning centre after that. had some telematch first.
and then planning for camp fire item. not very fruitful though. i wasnt very engaged in the planning.=X
went on tour around YOG learning centre after that.
quite cool
bus-ed back to campsite and had dinner.
bath and planned event.
was quite pissed off with one of my group mates. jazlyn knows why. but i controlled my temper okay!
kieron and rafidah presented. according to them, onepeople said our planning was detailed but it isnt attractive enough. i agree. haha
skipped supper again.
then it was time for lights off.
fell asleep ealier that night.

day 3 (8 November 2009)
i realised i bear with the camp for 2 days le.
i wanted to go home so badly on the 1st day to the extent that i was thinking of lying that i wasnt feeling well so that they could send me home.
but i didnt in the end. haha
i guess i enjoyed day 3 the most
i was woken up at 5plus.
prepared and went for breakfast.
buffer time was long again.
bus-ed to a chinese temple. it's big. and there's a museum on the 3rd storey too.
walked to the mosque next. listened to some presentation.
had lunch in the mosque!
it was cool! 4 people to a big big plate of nasi briyani.
and we had to eat with our hands. it's rather cool. haha.
some of them made a mess. haha
i was super full after eating! but some were still asking for additional rice, omg.
they can really eat sia.
bus-ed to somewhere in kallang for dragon boating. omg!it's super fun! this was the only item i was looking forward to in the camp and the reason why i chose to stay on in the camp.
i was rather nervous before dragon boating started, scared that the boat will capsize or i will fall out of the boat or whatsoever.
and kieron and royden was assurring me that everything will be all right. lol.
thanks=)
on the boat, umairah was in front of me, kerin was behind me and kieron was beside me.
haha. realised that our group's actions werent that synchronised.
think we gt 4th out of 6 during the race.
anyway, the sun was burning hot la! T.T
but nevertheless, i enjoyed dragon boating a lot a lot. time passed so fast during dragon boating la!
wash up and waited for bus to come.
bus-ed back to LAC to have dinner.
meanwhile, chea chee and diyanah were complaining. their group's route was different from my group's and my group didnt have to buy lunch on our own and we could wash up after dragon boating and we had transport back to LAC.
but they had to buy their own lunch, carry their wet clothings with them all the way and had to take public transport back to LAC. lol
had dinner. my group was the serving team. it was rather fun!
anyway, my group name is LRS-Lu Relax Sua! lol..i don't know how the group name was derived.but basically, it's to ask people to relax.lol?
had preparation for campfire and photo collage.
campfire started. was rather pissed off at the starting.
watched the performances and my group was the last to perform. we screwed it up. LOL
had 15minutes of dancing after campfire. i just sat down instead. all i wanted was to bathe. lol
skipped supper again and went to bathe.
lights out was at 2am.lol

day 4 (9 November 2009)
last day of camp!
woke up, prepared and had breakfast.
bus-ed back to onepeople.sg
played some games with poker cards to learn about some racial harmony stuff.
gathered in hall for some presentation and stuff.
i was hungry halfway through the presentation. haha
finally it ended and we went to have lunch. decided not to join youth wing since i have too many commitments and i didnt enjoy the camp that much.
took group photos and filled up reflection form, feedback form and some acknowledgement stuff.
me and chea chee complained so much to each other on the first night that i no longer have the mood to complain and feed back that much le.
i acknowledged kieron, jun yiu and myself.
and kieron and wen yu acknowledged me=D
went to collect our bags and after some "debrief", the camp ended.
woah! i've tahan for 4days! lol
well, but i admit that i had a little bit of 舍不得 feeling and that i miss a few of my groupmates, but the feeling wasnt that strong compared to the YLC8 camp.
some of them were saying how enjoyable the camp was, but i was wondering how come i didnt feel that way>.<
perhaps because i had a too great time at NACLI durinng YLC8 camp.
cabbed back and walked home
home sweet home!
i wanted to post about how good NACLI was compared to LAC.
but it's okay. lost my mood to do so. lol.

unpack stuff and bathe and blah blah blah
shall post about today tomorrow. lol
because this post is too long.
bye bye
