9th - 15th December 2007
Brunei . Cambodia . China . India . Indonesia . Kazakhstan . Laos . Malaysia . Myanmar . Philippines . South Korea . Singapore . Thailand . Vietnam .
together we all come togetherthe most extraordinary camp I have in my life
and the best of all
there were regulations instilled
yet everyone still have the freedom to do what they like
when we all tried our best to communicate to each and everybody
when we all had fun learning from everyone
when we cry, everyone, regardless of gender...
I'm allocated to receive Malaysia,
which is "my country"
so we went to the airport on Sunday
after which helping them to check in
and then bringing them out for dinner and shopping at Orchard Road
some of the activities that i've really enjoyed myself:
Outward Bound Singapore
it's on the first day of the entire camp
when we sorta had an ice breakers, Helium Hoop
this is the game which i think i've learnt alot from
though we did no succeed,
i've still managed to attain the objectives of this game
enabling UNO to bond and trust one another
afterwhich is learning to belay
and belaying my group members from other countries
was feeling really tired
and all the pain from the rope burns
but still with the determination
all of us managed to pull through
and we continued to the games part
which i've forgotten the actual name for it
we were supposed to play team building games and earn points
after which we will use the points collected to buy materials
which are then used to build a bomb launcher which can be unactivated by burning a fuse
graduated the OBS course with a cert
so proud of myself and the group!
Urban Challenge
This is something like a mini version of our school's MMM
The groups are supposed to take a group photo at the station
and answer questions about the places of interest
my opinion about this is that this game had allowed the participants from overseas to learn more about the countries
and really bring home memories and photos of the nation
UNO won this and my group met Tommy Koh
and also taken a photo with him!
it's so kind of him to volunteer to help us take our group photo.
and end up it's him in the photo :)
and of course
UNO won!
what we've gotten is a photo frame with all the photos inside
wheee!!!!
Jamming Night
everyone was totally high
before and after our informal performances
we all screamed and jumped
and danced..
were so high that many doesn't want to sleep early!
Late Night Rehearsals
these rehearsals were for the cultural night on the last night of the camp
we're all dead tired,
yet we all struggled down to the hotel and had our rehearsals
the nights when our instructors
chided us
joked with us,
O level standard, tone deaf, him covering his ears, him banging into the wall..
the pot-belly, tears, laughter
and so many other memories spent with the Singapore Cultural Night peeps!
you guys really rawks!!!
An evening with SYC
this is the real night
the actual night of performance after so many months of rehearsals
we were dressed in our costume with thick make-up on
everyone looked pretty and nice
and we really enjoyed ourselves
and did the best we could
and of course seeing hot guys!
LOL
all was great!!!
followed by the entire night awake!
the week soon come to an end
when we had to send off the delegates from other countries
people really cried
though we only know each other fro the past 6 days
yet we all build that friendship
that we all hope will last
not only had i made friends with people from other countries
but also from SINGAPORE!
the BIMBOS!
all having our own "bimbotic" moments
laughing at ourselves
hope we could have our Club reunion someday..
those whom i really talked and shared our lives..
Izzati, Rina, Alina!!
you gals are just great!!!
these camp was really enriching
allowing me to have friends from so many countries
at first i'm still anxious on going to camp with so many strangers
only knowing 1 amongst the 150 plus people
but soon all became friends
this experience is really indescribable and priceless...
*****
i see the difference
between what's true and what's not...
-i've learnt.. i've learnt to be strong...-
