Next up was SC Elects Camp from tuesday till thursday.

It was a hell lot of fun and learning. I must admit that while Coach Sabrina was a great entertainer (she made everyone crack up), her personal stories and videos really inspired me to relook into my leadership competency and improve on it esp since I now have tht one more blue ring... it is vital. Lots of valuable lessons there.

During the camp, I was in Group 1 aka Green Grass aka nicest banner creators *beams* The name was kinda random and our Instructor Cherie was rly bubbly and fun to hang out with. All the debriefs with her really left us with lots of food for thought and ways to improve.

I must say tht the most memorable activity had to be "Kidnap" last night. Apparently, each grp had one member secretly chained up and locked up at some secret place in school, on a dark and chilly night (like last night). The eeriness of the activity immediately caught on me. Bt nvrtheless, all of us put in our best.

We raced from station to station to complete challenges like singing a cheer with water-filled mouths and singing the sch song with uber fast tempos. It was all in the hope of finding the 3 correct keys to unlock Cyrus. We ran as fast as we could, perspired alot, cared alot for fellow teammates' safety and racked our brains on finding him. (& I had to run past him, separated by a mere shutter in the Hall, shouting "Let's go to LT2!"). We perservered on tgt n nvr once gave up as we ventured into eerie dark corridors and sinister looking rooms. When we finally did find him after running like headless chickens for 30 odd minutes, a sense of satisfaction overwhelmed all of us.

Honestly, I really enjoyed Group 1 with all tht

-crazy one-end-of-the-hall-to-the-other cheer
-passion banner
-carrying "casualties"
-entangling ourselves from th human hand mesh
-caring for each other
-joking during meals
-getting dirty during banner painting
-masquerade
-and photo-taking sessions.
You guys were great: all your care, determination, hard work and team work was indeed a feat for such a short camp.

Tented with Yu Jie, Yong Zhi, Chi Kan and Yu Jun. Had men's talk which usually with someone dozing off. Haha. Bt it was funny and great. All the jokes and care.

Bt the camp was a rather emo one as well with kinda unwanted attention, sudden thoughts of a rather horrible inheritance, friends who faced issues and all tht.

Nevertheless, I have SERIOUSLY learnt alot during the camp and totally enjoyed it. Post camp blues? Possible. RVSC all the way!
