Back from the camp....

Wonder where have I gone to for the past three days? I have spent my day in a camp with 200 over students of FuHua Secondary..
On the faithful morning of 25 July 2007, the bus brought me back to the nostalgic Jalan Bahtera. Shaking off the moulds on the shirt that says "Instructors", I decided to led this group of interesting people from 3S3 to the wilderness.
Talking about cheers, hmmm... I have forgotten all about them, serious*
In the bus, I met some interesting characters like Aaron, ChongCher, YiLe, YouRen, Jul.. The girls are slightly more quiet so its easy hitting off with the roudy group of guys.
Here, assembled in the MPH, all of them gathered, ready to be send up the high elements. I still remembered me trying to lead my dear group 5 to cheer and they refused to shout out my name.. hahaha. Its ok!!
Thats Daryl, trying to fix his "beautiful' hair (left) even when he is supposed to spot!! XD
YiLe, ChongCher & YouRen fixing their harnesses volunteering to be the first to go for abseiling! :) I think the most memorable part is the high elements. Being rusty with the belaying commands and the four steps of belay, I have to step out of this comfort zone to belay my kids of group 5. Nicolas took some time coaching me and running through the steps with me, though a little stressed, I managed to learn it with practice. At first I was a little discouraged, but looking at my dear group 5, God showed me that its all about trust.
ALL ON BOARD!! Hahaha... I can give you Gatsby~ Gatsby~..... Gatsby.. what a cheer.
This is the place they were made to go up and squeeze in one little tile. Fantastic guys! :) I realize that actually this group of people loves to play, they love challenges, loves timing themselves and they are so cute! Everyone of them is like a jigsaw puzzle, carrying different characteristics; when you place them altogether they formed a lovely picture.

After our first night game "Kidnapped" they have gone crazzzzzzeee... On the right is my laodi, Julian & Aaron the complain king!!
That night we played Kidnapped. ALl of them are so spontaneous, running around playing the game. I will never forget the power of unity. They cheered with mouth in their water..Jul led the cheer.
(right)ZHOU JUN WEI.hahahaha (Left) Look at Chong Cher's face.. muahahaha
ChongCher reminds me of Adam!!

The group photo!!MingYong and jiaying on the left look so cute. That's the quiet but adorable pengChuan in the middle. What's with that pose that youren keep making.. funny la.
The girls like Jean, YanMin, QingHui and Evon are so cooperative.
I read one of the reflections written by YiLe, I was superbly touched. He said something like he hopes the group will cheer so that Instructor we will make her happy. YiLe thanks alot, your every word is a n encouragement to me. Smiles*
FUN!!! hahah at the mud pool.. someone says he wanted to take revenge, but look at his nice smile!! He enjoys it right, Jun Wei?
Jul, you trying to chao keng right.. too bad, he had a bad ending doing that. He was sabo by everyone in the end.. hahaha
SPLASH!!!!!!

The 3 days were fruitful. The group broke through their fears. I looked back, i missed the instructors. Although I didnt really spend alot of time with them, but like what Pillay says its like home. Camp HA is like home. The every single instructors taught me alot of things. Lastly thank God for Gloria, PeiLing, HuiLing, Pillay, Azri, Veron, Mojo & Steven. Love you guys alot.
