sec 1 orientation camp. a success? well cannot really say that as there were miscommunications, depressing and frustrating happenings. really was mind-hurling and heart unrests. went through it at least. a good experience to organise the events with the exco.. but if u ask me, i rather be an orientation group leader which i was last yr.. fun and sort of easy..

the first day, friday, started well. the station managers, lianghock, soonheng and shehnas went to bishan park ealier to set up the stuffs while the rest of us stayed back. me and michelle went around the classes to take pics after preparing for the set-off. then assembled and left all together.
games was alright. only some miscommunications here and there. hot day with the blazing sun. from the games i really saw some potential leaders, soon-to-be bimbos and gangsters, plain mischievious ones, and of course the usual lot of quiet and low profile ppl..
drizzled unexpectantly after the water break.. everyone rushed back to sch and when we did the sun came out again. playing games with us man. went through lunch which was, well sort of the trouble part- the part where the organising committee 'broke down' and we have ppl yelling at us, angry faces, troubled minds, all the usual stuffs u get when something bad happens.
the remaining time was all tent-pitching, cheer practice. nothing much. only thing worth mentioning may be the last minute exco meeting @ the council room after lunch. there was the part where u see ppl giving solemn faces, tired eyes, tears and more. but manage to pick up from there to see through the rest of the camp.
bath time was the worse. everyone took such a long time especially the sec 1 girls. i was in the boys toilet making sure they were quick. no one were willing to use the toilets with the broken doors without locks.. all borned with a silver spoon in their mouth. had to assure them that i will make sure no one dare fool around before some entered.
campfire started soon after bath, dinner, free time. the fire was pathetically weak and not appealing. the emcees were, well quite interesting and enthu and they managed to bring the atmosphere up, but their slang was irritating at times.. we had really crazy dances with ppl running around and stuffs. the most disappointing dance must be the friendship dance- after getting the ppl up on their feets and forming messy circles, sending them back to sit and come up one by one to form neater circles, the emcees decided not to have it afterall. sad. was the most interesting part last yr's campfire as everyone stood in one large circle and did the dance. the most exciting dance must be the chihuahua dance. the music was great and everyone was like jumping to the music, up on their feets. even the councillors had dance steps and everyone followed it. maybe from the organising member point of view, i found the campfire abit unbalanced. but from lots of ogls and sms point of view, they found it the best activity of the camp! wad the 0.o..
everyone went to slp and the councillors had a debrief while some ate supper provided. den went off to diff directions. slept through the night. woke up next morn, had breakfast, presented the prizes, and break camp!!!
phew. over at last. one of the major mojorest event of the yr. well, just hope that coming events will be great as well..
