Blogging @ 3AM!!!!

Its almost 3.30am and i am still up in the sick bay of Jalan Bahtera Adventure Centre... Only 1st Aider of the camp and i have 2 kids in the sick bay which means i cannot sleep.. making my life harder than doing night duty for instructors... argh!!!

Let me blog abt Tanglin Sec first..

Day 1...

Drove down to tanglin and got caught in a jam.. argh!! thought we were going to be late.. As usual after knowing how ian works, i somehow got the habit and started to ask those in my van to call eunice and inform that we were going to be late... When we reached there, only rendall was there... i was like !@#@#%#@$^#@... Infact i actually woke up late and i only changed when i reached the school... even my shoes... thats one thing good about having to drive there... everything you want, you have!

Hang around there and i actually saw my ex-camper! my best camper last year.. she was having her PE class and also another ex-camper who happened to be in vanessa's group... i actually brought the t-shirt that the campers gave me to camp and when i happened to show this particular ex-camper, she was like eh i never sign!!! then i was like alright let you sign lah.. actually if she have signed or not i also dunno right...

I finally saw the 'fu lu shou' of tanglin sec.. they are the best teachers lah!! Mr. Wan, Mr. Tam and Mr Lim... Wha best of the best... This year i had to take Carova house... Wanted to take back aspen bt i could not.. so i told myself its a big challange for me as carova was the worst house last year...

Day 2 came and apprantly my group leader was still sick and happened that i found a good leader from moon's group, in fact 2! Adelaide and Johnny!!! Apprantly johnny dint have good comments from the teachers.. It was the time when i told myself that he is going to be a life changing story that i am going to create! With his leadership skills, his selfless thinking and initiative, he really gained my respect and i knew that i had a good leader to guide. Adelaide is another natural leader who reminds me of zhenyi from tanglin last year... Shes good and takes initiative in everything she does...
Night came and all of us were to vote for the best camper and i really spoke out for johnny! and yeah he got the best camper for the camp..

I was sad to see the house that i took last year drop down to 3rd from the 1st they had last year... and was even more sad to not get the best house in the camp.. but the most important thing that i believed for the students is still their learning journey...

anyway, i really hope to see my campers enjoyed themselves and learnt something from this camp... bonus for me in this camp would be to change someone's life today!

Signing off...
Instructor Alfred
