Thursday...
juz came back from Sesame Street Camp yesterday....wanted to post but was far too tired....yah...act i'm still feeling damn tired now, and down wif sore throat and flu....argh!
Sesame street camp began on monday and ended on wednesday....last year, in 2004, Pooh Camp was held at around the same period....it was during the camp which helped my batch of volunteers to reali bond and gel together real close....ppl like Quek, xiqian, eng khoon, jingting, joaling, goo, bryan, kaixiang, etc.... basically, almost the whole of this year's Organising committee......
I won't elaborate on last year's camp cos there r some photos which i wanna share for this year's one alone.....on Monday, i arrived late with adeline and the rest as i was in school helping her with her dissertation....poor ade....still got her dissertation to wear her out....but like how i've alwaiz encouraged her.....the light at the end of the tunnel will emerge soon..... =)
first nite, we had our barbeque, followed by the making of the identifiers.....I'm part of the Elmo group this year.....
Making of our ELMO identifier on first nite....from left....Jermaice, Tricia, Justin, KengLim, Yuetting, Xinyi and me of cos! hahaz, jason arrived only on second dae....
Elmo's team identifiers!
well, the first nite passed by reali soon....after we were done with the identifiers, many of us juz sat around for some catching up and card games....by 3.30, most of us were in bed oredi....eagerly awaiting the arrival of the kids the nxt morn.....
second dae...
having had the experience from Pooh camp, most of us in the Organising comm were expecting lotz of noise, chaos and fatigue on the second dae itself....well, it turned out to be the case again, but probably worse this yr as there were more children tis time round.....they arrived at 10.45...and it all started again...hahaz.....we had some simple ice breaker games to warm them up..... Elmo group foto we took on third day....
the ice breaker games and telematches that ensued in the afternoon were very energy sapping...for one, many of the volunteers had not gotten enough sleep the nite before....this coupled with the childrens' seemingly unlimited reserves of energy....which caused us to hav to run around with them all dae long....i'm feeling tired juz tinkin of dat...hahaz....aniwaiz, at one of the telematches, which was the writing with blindfold game, look at wat my team created below....
supposed to be the sentence 'Cookie Monster sits on the wall'....
well, Kelvin, the most mischievous boy in my grp....kinda destroyed the entire piece of vanguard with his wilful drawing....
well, the second dae ended with a bang....my favourite activity for both Pooh and this yr's camp...the Sing along session! this yr, i felt even more high den last yr...bryan and i were singing at the top of our voices....waving our lightsticks as if we were at some jay's concert and acting like silly children....hahaz.....aniwaiz, after the children went to sleep....we played some card games before going out in e middle of e nite for supper at Jalan Kayu in the NUSSU van...heh....
third morn
we woke up earlier this time round.....Quek was busy preparing the special breakfast for the children along with a few other volunteers.....most of us, by this time, had not even had 6hrs of sleep over e past 2 nites.....so we were reali acting like zombies oredi......at 7am, i led the morning exercise, which i was glad i had the help of xiqian and bryan......cos i felt stupid trying to lead the morning exercise when everyone was damn tired and didn't reali hav e energy to go on.....
below is a photo i took with shihui and guowen....with wenxiang(mid)....my fav kid in 2004, and puisheng(right)....cant rem e name of e boi on e left...heh....
aniwaiz, their breakfast was reali nice....pancakes with bananas, apples, milo, hershey's chocolate sauce, honey....wow.....yummy!
special breakfast on third morn, shihui, guowen and me with some children....
finally, we had some more words with the children and they left after the prize presentation.....many of them were kinda reluctant to leave as they had truly enjoyed ourselves....i could tell that many volunteers enjoyed themselves thoroughly too....which is a gd thing...cos everyone made more frens at the end of the day......
well, i guess the lack of sleep and the fact that i binged again last nite has caused me to be down with a sore throat, runny nose and lethargic body now.....i tink i better get a gd rest tonite....long dae tmr and sat.....christmas eve! yay! tmr gotta go buy my $10 present for my fren...haa...
well, todae i helped ade with her dissertation in sch again....was glad that i was there....she'd hav had difficulties moving the equipment arnd otherwise.....after reaching home at abt 6....i sat down to check my results....wasn't reali nervous at all tis sem cos i'm kinda numb to it oredi....but aft changsheng, ade and olive asked me whether i had checked my results in e aftn...it kinda got me a little more enthusiastic to check it.....
i guess i'm reali fortunate again....cos i seriously thot that i was going to be pulled down by 2 mods....well, in e end, most of the grades were much better than i even dared to imagine....now i'm 1 step closer to one of my initial goals in nus....that is to try to grad with first class honours....with 5 more sems to go....i need to maintain my present cap and if possible, up the ante by pushing myself a little further.......
of cos, i wun neglect other even more impt aspects of my life.....anyhow, this time round, many of my frens did well too....i'm happy for everyone....hopefully, we'll all achieve our goals....whatever they may be.....cheers!
Christmas eve is juz round e corner....can't wait....hee....
