This is a much much much delayed LONG post about the activities i had since Term 2 ended. I have not been blogging much lately, and even if i do, the quality of my post deteriorated. A lot of things happened lately;
Day Ex Bike Recce
Bike Hike
CHS NCC AIR Annual Camp
AB Camp
CDAC Camp
I thought it was over, and i finally could have time for my revision, but guess what? It isn't over. Many more stuff come pouring in after that - activities, outings, problems here and there... But it's good isn't it? Else i would be wasting time nonetheless. =X
I shall talk about the activities first. I am not going to type out day by day what happen, because that's going to fill this post up with words and much more words. I am just going to summarise things up.
Firstly, Day Ex Bike Recce. It was a challenge completed. I had troubles having it the week before the day i actually had it as i wasn't able to get any bikes. Thankfully for this week, Ze Xun is able to put aside his Log Comm stuff and helped me with it. Thanks a lot to him! :D Oh and his father's bicycles are great! I do really enjoy the speed it's going at! Haha. It looked so impossible on the map, but we did it nonetheless! Well done! :D
After that was immediately bike hike. I managed to somehow asked for some rest time which in the end got me into a little problem, again. -.- Nevertheless, bike hike started after much waiting. It wasn't particularly exciting as i thought it would be, but i was actually entertaining myself while i was at the back looking at the things happening in front. I think there was more sense of satisfaction gained because i was able to complete both Day Ex Bike Recce as well as Bike Hike in a short span of 24 hours. The distance amounts to about 120km and it felt really great being able to achieve that physically and mentally. :) The last part of bike hike was particularly disappointing because we were told that we were not allowed to cycle back to ECP after arriving at AMK hub because of some unknown reason. We had to wait for quite a long time which actually severely drained us of the morale to carry on, so we strongly rejected the offer to be sent back to ECP before going to Cat High again. What for? o.O
Next was CHS NCC AIR Annual Camp. Nothing much happened here, except yet another successful (i hope?) talk to some people. Strange enough, the sense of satisfaction amount to what i got from bike hike! :) After that was much of walking and walking to collect the goodie bag for Bare Your Sole walk, which was quite good in fact. :) Ate lunch with Alvan and Jun Jie at Just Acia (purposely, because someone Alvan knew was there :P) for a very very long time. I went to my grandma house after that and collapsed on the bed. I was awaken by a rude shock when my grandma called out frantically for me to see what's going on outside, only to witness fire engines downstairs and fire breaking out at the level my grandma house was on. I sat outside the house watching the whole incident. Luckily no one was hurt! :)
I collapsed over the weekends and finally it was AB Camp. I think words ain't enough to describe the camp - you've got to experience it to believe it. I've been to many camps before, and i didn't really believe that it was possible for everyone to sit down and learn so much from one another just by one camp. I think it was a great experience for both campers and the student instructors. I wasn't a camper myself last year, but i heard from the rest that this year it was really a breakthrough! Cheers to AB CAMP! :D Kudos to all campers and SIs! :D I guess there won't be another great opportunity like this to learn so much from everyone else anymore. This indeed is a once in a lifetime opportunity to do so.
Moving on, last but not least, it's CDAC camp. I'm really amazed at the volunteers. The camp organisation was really a big screw up, but strange enough, things can get done! :P Enjoyed myself as i let myself loose (must be the highness after AB camp), and it was a great short camp! :D
Well, this is the end of the quick short summary about the activities, but trust me, the real experience is really far from this. There's just so much i want to talk about some of them, but there is just so little i could express them in words. Friendship forged, the ability to work together... The list just goes on and on. Now i guess what should be at the top of my list should be my goals for the Mid Year Common Test (MYCT). But i feel like i really have slacken down much much more as the days goes by. What happen to me? o.O I guess it's all an issue about being accustomed. Guess i really need to work hard to get myself in the gear of studying! :) So many more things to study for! :O Till then! :)
The night is always a good quiet time to calm yourself down and relax; on the contrary, it could also bring you a sense of loneliness and helplessness.What in the world is going on? o.O
