Leadership Training Camp

Day 1 of LTC Camp:

Had that feeling not to go for this camp but in the end I went. I must say that this is the camp that made me laugh throughout the three whole days.. The instructors were so funny since the start of day one. Ee started joking with some of our names and the others taughts us some team dynamics such as cheers and claps. Erm.. we learn the macho clap, lame clap, sotong clap, 11clap, 55 clap, 15clap and woo... Due to afternoon sleeping syndrome, they have been doing stuff that make us laugh.. They even come out with the 'I don't care' action!! We did one ice-breaker game which requires me to tie my hands with a string and Iris pair up with me. We need to think of a way to separate ourself and we can't!! Argh~ Finally got the trick, yippee!! I was in the 'gracious' grp which consists of Loshana, Manglapriya, Su Han, Yi Xuan, Amni, Rachel, Jasmine, Me, Iris, Hui Sei, Shannon, Melissa Liu, Joanne and Cecilia and we played the peanut game: 'Where's the peanut, where's the peanut, where's the peanut just now...' and then the game which involves us to 'bomb' the other teams. Next up, Team-bonding games.. We went to Nemo's (one of the instructors nickname) section which require us to use strings to lift up 3 bottles and pour the water into a plate. I couldn't really think of any ideas at that point of time.. Then we proceed on to D's section where all of us had to be blindfolded except melissa and she signal us where to with while holding on to the rope and this can form into a shape. It was really hard to hear what she say as everyone is making lots of noise but we still tried our best and complete. After that, we went to the 'turn over a new leaf' section and we had to squeeze into a mat and turn it over without moving out of the mat.. Amni was eaten by the 'crocodiles' a few times!! Lastly, we did the 'Traffic Jam' game which requires us to plan before moving and we did it!! Then it was lunch and we need to do a few times of roll call (everyone in the canteen was like staring at us), then pray, then say 'Instructors eat, teacher's eat and everybody eat'!! We were back in the library and we need to set up a company with a slogan and logo, then need to do a checklist, logistics.. We did the Bear R'us company and we are a rich company, Hahah!! There were lawyers, pilots and toy companies which are done by other groups. I was amazed by the fact that the instructors can actually link all the companies together, WOW!! We end the day at 6pm..

Day 2 of LTC Camp:
Did Morning Exercise and cheer plus some claps before starting the day. They taught us a food cheer which goes 'hungry,hungry, very, very, hungry very, very hungry...' and the 'Are u ready, ever ready, SJC Spirit gonna fight...' Then we proceed on to plan TBG for Sec Ones'08. We shared how we feel when we were sec one's and opinions on the Senglang Trail. Then it was lunchtime and we had to do roll call, cheer, pray, and had to say lots of stuff before eating.. Everyone were hungry!! Back to the I&E room, I was so damn lame.. Then back to the library to had a trial for 4 games. First, the alphabet game, then caterpillar, then Tarzan.., and lastly the untanglement(Is this how u spell?!?!). Had lots of fun. The instructors taught us lots of skills to present ourselves in front of everyone and indeed the skills were useful. Then we were taught how to communicate using the walkie-talkie. We went for a Sengkang Trail and back to school for dinner. It was a buffet, yummy!! Mrs Ong want all the bags to be transferred from the library to the gym, finished all the veggie, make sure the canteen is clean, do roll call to double check everyone is here within a short period of time.. I had to run and move bags.. Argh~ Then went for mock campfire and learn how to setup. Next up, we learn camp cheers and I seriously cannot memorise all of them.. HELP!! We proceed on with night activities where we need to be blindfolded and hold on to the person in front and walk a distance. Down the steps, up the steps, turn here and there and we finally reached our destination; Fitness corner!! Then proceed on for wash up and then supper and slept at 12am.. Happy Halloween!!

Day 3 of LTC Camp:
It was cold in the gym as it rains, did morning excercise and then proceed for breakfast, it was prata, yeah, yummy!! Then back to the library for lessons. We try out with more TBG games and then we were assigned with jobs.. Later on, certificate presentation, and Mrs Chan gave us our certs.. She was amazed by our enthusiasm.. Then left for dance practice and I was so blur and tired. Then slept in the dance studio before heading home!! Finally had a long rest to prepare for Friday. We had lots of scoldings throughout the whole camp but at the same time, we also enjoyed ourselves. I learnt lots of skills and how to react in different situations. It was indeed a great experience.

Gonna go gym tmr after dance with Vann, seriously need to lose weight!!

Sat at a corner with Shi Han and Kong Rui and soon the others came along. We went food republic to have our lunch and went Tangs to find Miss Lee.. We headed to paragon for cheesecake and pizza.. We are so damn UNGLAM at such high class place and Miss Lee actually said she treat us a $50 meal and the rest of the cost we pay or else Shi Han will have to wash plates..Hahah!!

Esplanade Pics




Comments: In order to capture visitors and Singaporeans attraction, The Esplanade uses a form of art to built its exterior and interior of the building. As we know, it represent 'durian' which is a famous fruit in Singapore. This designs causes visitors to have the desire to try the 'smelly' fruit. Art and dance are some important key factors which the Esplanade try to introduce to tourists and Singaporeans by having kinds of events such as skits and plays. Perhaps, more people could be interested if the management had done enough of advertising as people seldom know what's happening in the Esplanade. For instance, my first impression is that it is another boring place, but after going through dance courses in Esplanade, I realised that they are trying to introduce all kinds of activities for all ages to participate. The fact is that it lacks advertising. Events that are held in the Esplanade should be often advertise in media such as through radio etc. for people to have a better understanding of what is going on in the Esplanade.

Had photo-taking early morning and there's this bee that goes around buzzing the sec 3s.. Damn hot can.. gonna have heat stroke if they had asked me to stay on the basketball court for 1 more min.. Went to the hall and there was total silence.. Performance was nice and the impression that Mr Seng gave me is that the dance he don't get it but at least he try, that's good.. Mrs chan is cute too.. she's so daring!! Later had a science presentation and then we went up stage to take the certs for Green Building and Shell Eco Village Challenge. Mrs Das is so nice.. She was like saying 'oh, emily it's u again' and I was like 'erm...yah..yah'<<(Broken english!!!) The last one to get off stage too.. OMG!! I got 2 nice cert and our nice shelleco poem plus 20 dollars voucher.. will try to take a pic of it and post it soon.. then went back to class and was asked to collate the message for the principals and I went 'huh?!?! why me!! my english not good!!! Argh~' Later on, went around to find people then headed to the hall for some business talk.. School's over!! Went to hand up some stuff and headed to compass for lunch.. Almost vomited while walking there.. Ate KFC and went to my house.. Was locked outside AGAIN hence we went to the playground.. Play until it rains and oli, karissa, doro and grace goh came to my house.. Talk.. play and joke at the same time.

Finally, it's over!!

Finished..

As usual, never complete my paper.

Went compass point with Nat and Grace Goh for lunch.. Din eat that much, just drank 2 cups of cold water, 1/2 bowl of soup plus a few spoons of fusili.. Later on, they came to my house, as usual my bro went to irritate them.. We went to the playground but it was so damn hot there!!! Use the laptop to surf the net and we actually became detectives. WOW!! Later on, watch some funny ads from YouTube and they created a nice wallpaper for my bro.. Hahah



I realised something, I don't think I'm suitable to be in this class anymore..WARNING: 'Do not judge a person by its looks'!! Looks like there's 'an zhang' in my class.. Everyone is so competitive.. Some will just do stuff to hurt you.. Looks like our class having lots of problems.. If I'm still in 2F, such things will not happen. I'll just stop here... It's really frustrating to talk about my class.. Perhaps I should just drop out from that class and my life will be better.. I really can't stand the stress!
