6 NOV..Just came back from leadership camp organised by my sch wit the absorbent mind company..really learnt many things there..Abt committment,teamwork,endurance,deternination...etc..Nv regret going to this camp..Summary abt the camp:






DAY1-We reported to sch at 7am..I came along wit my luggage and backpack..lolx..forget bring bolster..blek..Abt 7.30,we gather at the atrium for briefings..LYE the main facililator told us wat is expected for the camp then disperse us to our groups for some ice breaking stuff..I was in Group 4..There were 13 of us..lets see if i can rmb all of them..

....Yeps..But the first day Vincci did nt join cause of some activities she had..Our Facililator was Andrew!!!..The first impression he gave was wow..!we gonna have a great time..he look very friendly and caring..so ya..He told us he was married wit two kids..both guy..Pri 5 & Sec1..yea..After sharing abt ourselves, the teachers distributed our (HLC) shirt..it was nice bright orange...Changed into the shirt then gather at the atrium again..All together there were 7 facililator..Think only noe some name..Lye,Andrew,Tony,Ivan,Harry..don noe the rest le..sry..Group 3,4,5 share one bus 1&2 share the other..sat wit Ginia..



When we reached Kota Tinggi Johor..We first went to the tentage for some briefing on wat to do..We were given our room key..Shared room wit Mei Hui and ShiMin..Sadly Joyce nv go:'(..Pang se la..hahas..jkjk..take cares worx..she was sick..:( ..Our room number was 318..beside our rm was Isabel's (317) and Mathew's(319)..Our rm had 4 single bed,a TV,bathroom,tables,overall was nice la..cannot expect much as this is a CAMP and not HOLIDAY!!..After unloading our stuff in the room..we gather at the canteen which need us to climb over a high slope..so far la..hate the slope:P..Had Bee hoon,Vegetables,Chicken and Eggs..After tt we had some lesson on the 5P & 10C..Which is:Model the way,Inspire a shared value,Encourage the heart,Challenge the process,Enable others to act..Lye explain thorougly abt the 5 practices..the first game we had was letter matching..he gave everyone a card tt consist diff letter..then he will ask us to form any word tt has a certain number of letters..which means we had to find people tt has a letter to make a word tt consist the amt of letter he wants..hahas..fun worx..this game was for us to get along better...at the same time find diff people nt only eur friends as nt necessarily our friends will have tt particular letter..yep..Later we went to our groups..





The second game was forming a group wit members facing at random directions...The facililator will then round us up wit tape..the rule is to walk to the finishing line without breaking the tape and the first group tt reaches there will win..our group gt second last..lolx..anyway..try harder^^..After tt game..anther lesson..then split into groups..we are then suppose to sit in groups and think of our group name and cheer..yeps..and heres our group name..happy to announce tt our GROUP4 team name is [FANTASTIC 4]!!!!..Yays!!GO!GO!GO!..Team Cheer goes..

Fantasic,Fantastic,Fantastic4,
F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C..FOUR!

Hahas..After thinking of the cheer,every team gt a chance to stand in front to perform their cheer..every group cheer was well done!

After tt had another lesson..Next..we went to the tables to discuss our group ground rules..
-Punctual
-Care for every team members
-Honest and be responsible
*BEING A CARING,HONEST AND RESPONSIBLE LEADER,UNITED WE STAND,DIVIDED WE FALL..

After having our ground rules,we were ask to set our personal goal,group shared vision and values..After tt had game of TUG-OF-WAR..Our group won 5 points for tt..=D

Later at night,we had night walk..Pamela stepped up..gosh..it was creepy la..we are suppose to walk throught the forest by feeling the nylon..i was holding to Ginia's and Bernard's hand..so nervous la..some ppl might noe wat i mean..then Bernard said something tt upset me..haiish..broke down..don noe wats wrong wit me..stupid la..Then had supper,bread and Milo..went to rm..had bath..watched Tv..Slept ard 12 plus..


DAY2-Woken up by Shimin..Thx! Our group tradition was to wait till other group taken their food before we take..then wait for our teammates to settle down before we eat..I thought tt was wat a leader should do..equal...After tt had some leson again..Paintball game was next and Wenda stepped up..felt useless..i don noe wat contribution can i give the group..all of them seemed to have some idea for the game but i just stood there quietly..i was very disappointed wit myself..oso felt left out from the group..anyways tt was expected b4 i went for the camp..I am always the un-noticed oneD=..There were 4 rounds to the game..I was in the last few to participate..cause the teammates already categories themsleves..I am fine wit anything..yup.. The team lost consecutively in 3 rounds..But we didnt ive up..instead the group thought of diff strategy..Soon it came to the 4 th round.Me ,Bernard and Pamela went in.wore a helmet,vest and neck protector. We wasnt in the mood alrdy . But we still have to do it. Gosh! we won that 4th round , we grabbed hold of the flag twice..Pamela and Bernard way to go!!I was very depressed..when we went out..the whole group gather arnd Bernard and Pamela..I was left out..walked away unnoticed..Kays..I noe i was jealous..but its like being in the group and nt feeling being in the group..the feeling is terrible la... Other grp had lots of points, whereas we had only 3\5 pts..At least the group did lot of improvement.. Next we had the Hula Hoop game.. Failed agn.Almost won but a bit of mistake we had to restart..We could have won..the time wasnt enough and other group won before us..another dissapointment... Last game was Tower of Hanoi. WE won 1st ! it was like the first ever game the team got 1st . It manged us to get 3rd out of 5 teams. It sort of bring up our morale..Lolx..Danial was like chiong arh !!! to gt more points..especially when the last nut was abt to reach the bottom..GREAT JOB TEAM!..Thx for the comment our facililator gave..it really give our group a motivation to do better and teamspirit gt much more better..tt game really cheer me up right after the sad paintball game..I was super hyper during the screwing part..JIA YOU JIA YOU 加油加油the team goes!!
