*Consumer Warning; Super long post, read at your own risk.
I've got lots to say in this post. Trybe Project Management Camp for CCKS!!!!
seriously, my hands are so tired that they can't really type. my mind's nearly switched off. running low. but I enjoyed it!
-Day1 Friday, 8th Dec.
arrived at Trybe Centre at 7.30am via car ride by Nic. The Facilitators for the Camp - Jill, Cherie, Ben, Ian, Bing Yu, Oliver(Olivia), Kelvin, Adrian(Shen). the staff, Raffy, Jovita, Nic and Jamie.
I was sent in to lead the Group Belfast. alone! at first that is. this is one dynamic and power group i tell ya. made up of 6 ppl, Raj, Heather, Geraldine, Pei Jie, Xu En and Shalini. and they are easily one of the best groups that I've ever taken in my whole career as a facilitator. haha.
we played this game, a first time for Trybe. they called it Geocashing, where all the groups are sent out with Global Positioning Systems(GPS), walk around the Tampines-Pasir Ris areas in some 'treasure hunt' and doing many activities. even doing some stuff people wouldn't even think of doing, eg. going into a dumpster to build a castle out of cards, trekking into a forested area to take a picture, serving out at a hawker centre clearing tables and the like. it was fun, it ended at Pasir Ris park, and we made our way back to Trybe Centre for dinner, a session and then it was lights out.
we(Jill, Cherie, Ben, Preston and I) didn't go to sleep, instead, watched movies(Just My Luck & my Super Ex-girlfriend) till about 3.30, we were all sleeping on the couches and on the floor. lol.
-Day2 -Saturday 9th Dec
woke up at about 7.30am. with the arrival of Kelvin, Adrian and Oliver the night before, the camp became a little more intereting. now there were two Facs to each group. [Gei Kiwa] had Ben & Cherie, [Belfast] had Oliver and I, [Try Us] had Jill and Kelvin while [Happy] had Bing Yu and Adrian.
It was a pretty dry day for me, since i was suffering from the intensity of my lips 'burning' and the fatigue that struck most of the facs. haha.
Stressball!! Volunteers + a 2 students only. haha. that totally woke us up. haha. just like how it'd normally be, shiok ah! haha. Sessions, projects and games filled the 2nd day.
at night, it was Talent Quest. and boy do you have to see what Belfast did. haha. it was a skit for 'Miss Trybe Universe', and Oliver, having donned Jaime's skirt and two scarfs(no that's not all he wore), won. lol. he was 'crowned' later with a hairband that made him look like the monkey god.
the night was stretched long, playing the game of ultimate deception and lies, Murderer. i pulled myself out of it halfway and went to sleep but woke up like two hrs later at ard 3.30am, whr everyone was telling ghost stories, so i threw in some stories too. haha. then i went back to sleep. haha.
-Day3 -Sunday 10th Dec
i didn't really know what happened today, mainly cuz i wasn't in the room but outside writing cards for Belfast members. haha. all i knew was that Belfast combined with Try Us and formed Try Us + Belfast or in short, Trybe. haha. that was totally unexpected, yet cool in a sense.
-Reflection
it's more of a thank you. haha. hey Belfast. you guys rock! i mean, totally man. haha. this group is totally amazing, i mean, words could not describe the team spirit and attitude that you guys have, neither can they describe you people. You who took my words into heart, and really put them into play. I'm really amazed and inspired by you. =D thanks alot.
i was touched, touched by my own actions, the way I led was inspirational according to the staff.. there was this feeling in my heart whenever i shared, its like, I know this is what i like to do. i just can't help but like it. it's my passion. my passion's already been injected into this. its the way i can help change and shape the future of society, the future generation. haha. this camp has really been a very enjoyable time for me, it's also been a very good learning experience.
you guys, remember this Belfast, remember what I told you. now go forth, rise up! let your light Shine! Belfast you rock! on 3, 2, 1, BELFAST!!
ok, was requested to do this. HEATHER ROCKS. haha. ok, done heather. haha. =P
-----------------------
after that, it was service, and then went back with Jill, Cherie and Felicia. haha. great news, one of my classmates accepted Christ! woohoo.
I'll rmbr these words, "Your Wisdom is beyond your age."
