shall write entry on camp.. but frankly.. duno where i'm to start.. :S but still it'll be a lonnnngggg entry.. strain ur eyes ppl~! lolx...
.:24th Jan, Mon:.
First day for CCKPS pri 5 camp.. n noe wt time i reached at dairy farM?! like @ 6.15am!!! i mus be crazy.. coz dad fetched me there..n like.. was alone there.. gates not open yet.. :P lucky got ame's msgs.. keke.. *thanx Angel~! ;)* n i jus sat there like some pathetic soul.. nowhere ta go.. geez.. till mimi came.. The kids like came in round 9+... yra.. n when i got the list noe its em3 kids.. gotta gather myself how am i gona deal wif this kids man.. :S got the grp.. brought them to a dorm was trying to play ice breaker games wif them.. but..
Alas!! almost the whole of it.. was tryin to break up the kids frm quarrellin.. otw.. some be away frm the grp.. playin.. running.. yesh.. running within a small area larz.. kaoz.. i had to resort using the whistle to get thier attention manz.. *blood boiling* @ tt point.. still i couldnt shout at them.. it does not work on these kids.. nvm.. thn 1 of the boi in me grp( boi A for further reference).. always arguing wif other malay bois.. sayin words like.. 'diam lar' wtsoever.. scoldin them in mandarin.. almost wana hold him n shake the soul outta him kiez.. : nvm.. ask him y always quarrel?
he say:" I don like them."
Me:"Y is tt so?"
He:"jus don like."
whao.. almost smack him.. obviously didnt larz.. n he had those kind of eyes.. look everywhere except u.. i jus insisted he looks at me.. talked to him till he almost cried.. so i stopped.. wtever 'pat' talk i was 'tryin'.. :X
think tt was 1 of the longest two hours... *cries outta loud* and another kid.. hiez.. he is like 'the-kind-of-kid-no-one-likes-in-clz' got the point? (boi B for further reference too.) he cant see clearly.. n always being bullied by the rest.. but sometimes.. like.. when the other kids touch him abit onli.. he WILL complain.. n whine.. etc.. :Z
We did problem-solving(PS) games 1st.. n they were like ttly not interested.. the rest say mus make these game interesting to them.. but like they don even wana participate larz.. n as previously mentioned tt two kid.. were always involved in the 'problemS' existin within the grp.. I tried so hard to get them play human entanglement.. n turn-over-a-new-leaf... both were like not very successful.. thn all aboard also.. i had to insert other games.. like who,wt,huh... tappin game.. Ding n Dong.. etc...hiez.. they play abit.. thn a commotion will start kinda thing.. n they kept askin when can go rock climbin, zip line.. etc.. like a Zillion times.. was like goin.. 'tmw,tmw we go play alrite' sortta thing..
they had CRC after tt.. which were high elements.. lucky when we were doin this activities.. they were.. okie i guess.. coz i was too busy belayin nzway.. boi A was alrite... but boi B after gettin overly terrified by the obstacle.. (coz He didnt dare walk thru the high element.. Azhar aka Bloop bloop man, drag him across the thing.. n he was utterly scared.. but least he made it thru.. ) thn complained he cant breath properly.. let him rest.. aiya.. thn like thruout camp he kept sayin his chest hurt.. cant breath properly.. i said to him.. as long as u can still talk to me properly.. u r okie.. but he still goes on.. i jus keep sayin.. he's fine laz.. *ttly dotz*..
after in the nite.. they had blind man's trail.. which they all had to be quiet n i was to help.. so nothin much heard frm them.. but i think blind man was really cool.. its like.. very short.. (least much shorter thn the malaysia's 1...but like the kids went in grps of 4.. whilst st marg's mostly go in grps n made lotsa noise... keke.. they r pri 5 kids.. n they*ahem* didnt even really screamed..lolx) yra.. but the way frm campsite to there was dark.. n least 2 min walk to starting point.. but it was nice.. n the end point was the quarry.. (where a british exp. died there whilst rock climbin.. obviously e kids knew nuts bout it.. lolx.. me n grace were enjoyin ourself on the trail.. coz the quarry looks really nice at nite.. the view.. was spectacular.. least to both of us.. some more it was full moon so it sortta makes a nice aura there larz.. of sort.. like u wont think tt we are in sg kinda place. yupz. had fun.. i think i'm lucky to be at nite trail thn song session.. no need lose my voice also.. keke..:P )
yupz.. had briefin wif them.. n of coz cant use the normal way of briefin.. had to ask really simple qns.. like how r u all feeling? wt u think bout activity? wt worked didnt worked.. durin the PS.. did they overcome fear.. n constantly reminding them bout plan.try.reflect.improve. yra.. geez.. yupz.. tts for the day manz.. :S
.:25th Jan, Tues:.
They were goin for other high elements, so once i see them.. told them bout it they excited larz.. but they still had to do other activities such as Team building & general station.. n they ttly dread it larz.. but we got thru.. thankfully.. like the low wall.. i got them up alrdy.. boi A kept climbin up n down.. n another two indian kid.. (boi C&D) also .. ttly manz.. the kids too.. kept wantin to sit on the bar on top.. which was like if they fell i'm dead larz.. kinda thing.. keep on shouting at them.. it does not really get thru the 1st time really.. thn they did nitro crossin.. the rope thingy.. mus swing to get across.. briefin them bout safety aspect stuff.. its jus so diff to make all of them sit n listen.. :S nvm.. thn told them mus careful when fren swingin.. if gona fall mus support.. still two butts 'dropped' on grnd.. lucky they were not hurt.. otw.. *.O *bash*
they were excited tt they get to go rock wall.. zip line..n abseilin.. but wt was the most surprisin thing was during zip line boi A was really gd.. as in its necessary to hab a runner to pull the ropes up after some1 do the obstacle. n he did it all the way.. willingly.. think azhar( he was in charge of this again! lolx.. lucky me. ) put the rite person ta do it.. as if he had nothin ta do.. he'll get restless.. but he didnt dare to try it lorz.. which i didnt force him.. coz its challanged by choice.. nvm.. thn i was on the top helpin all of them prepare to go down..
some of them really cried.. n i've this small gurl who didnt dared go down even rite at point where she would be down in a sec.. n she onli did it after her fren did it.. really brave of heR~! Boi B too was really scared to go down.. wanted to back out.. but i jus coax him.. lolx.. yra.. thn the last student was a malay boi frm nic's grp.. he was really afraid n didnt wana try..
but i coaxd him also.. n at the last point rite b4 he is off he was almost in tears.. but we didnt pull him back but let him down.. ttly noe he was afraid.. but its a great achievement for all of them.. in thier own league~! yra.. 3 cheers for them~!!
tts nt the end la.. coz i nv tried tt b4.. n its supposedly the highest flyin fox in sg.. so.. the CCo were like.. hab u tried b4? like no.. thn u shld go down.. *gulp* larz.. its was really freakin high up there.. sortta like the drop was the scary part coz it drops almost two storeys canz?! thn Azhar like prompted the kids to chant 'trainer go! trainer go!' like double whao laez.. but coz i cant possibly tell me kids tt its safe n all don worry.. n i myself didnt do it b4.. so i had to try.. to noe wt the kids go thru.. yupz.. i was ttly scared larz at the few sec b4 i dropped.. the drop was ultra long la.. i'm like.. when is it gona go forward stead of droppin canz?! keke.. but it was really fun larz.. haha.. glad i did it~! :) wheez.. yupz.. thn they had ta do campfire prep.. which can guess.. didnt go very well.. yra.. so ..:P
