yayy! I really enjoyed the camp orgainised by Rotaract Club. It's the retreat camp. Haha. Yups.. Haha ook i don't feeel like i want to type all formal and all the crap. It's getting late. 12.46 am to be exact. Haha. and I've not bathed! again! Oops I'm so unhygenic and I'm like telling everyone here! Haha. But haha noone knows of my blog yet so i don't have to worry i guess haha.

I love the camp! Really needed a break to chill. Haha. On friday night, we had icebreakers. Saturday morning some of us ( the selected ppl? and programme I/Cs) went for foster parenting (fp). I was one of the sub-committe so i had to go. There are 3 ppl in the subcomm la. Hmm, at first i had thought that it would be quite tough for me. I mean it's a leadershp position and also because i've not handled that age grp of children before. There are 3 grps, the baby grp, junior grp and the senior grp and the kids were between the ages of 0 10 12 yrs old. And the junior grp is the most active of the lot ! Though there were 3 of us, it felt like only I was doing the job. Cos 1 of them had to take care of a speacial needs child and the other.. hmm sort of wanted to stay out of it. So yup, tt's why it sort of became a 1 woman show. But then , she did help a bit here and there. I ended up being the one to tell everyone what to do next, give them instructions that sort of thing for most of the part. Hmm.. Let's see.. What is it like to be a leader? You have to lead and instruct ppl? Inspire ppl ? Okay, i've not much idea how i managed to handled the whole event, (i can't think of a better word to describe the process right now so I'm using this word) but i guess i managed to stay calm and composed so i could deliver what i was supposed to carry out. And another thing is that you have to learn to to listen to ur "staff"(wrong word again :p) eg/like call their names and know how to get their attention before giving them instructions.

The kids were wonderful! so full of energy and joy! However, they can bring you both happiness and frustration at the same time. There was this young kid, a girl she was sooooo sweet! sweet face, kept giving me those hot pink balls froom the playground and at each time she gave me a ball, i gave her the other ball back. Haha this went on for a while and she kept passing me the same coloured ball- the hot pink 1 haha. Such a sweet little girl. She then gave some of those colourful balls to her younger brother too. so sweet. Haha. This kinda reminded me of the time when i was little like her, i also had a younger brother somewhere like her brother's age too. Cute hur. That girl is sooo cute.

At the end of it all, i felt that i had really acomplished something because the guy in charge of the whole progrmme or at least the junior group said that it went on pretty smoothly ( except for that little girl who started bawling the moment she arrived) and had achieved what we had aimed at the end of the day which was to make them happy! Haha makes me happy too. All that effort was worthed it! Yea!! I tell you handling 35 hyper-active kids with about 15 volunteers is NOT an easy task. They run, they scream, they climb and they cry like nobody's business! Wow! Children can be amazing! But all in all, haha i still like kids primarily for who they are: young, innocent, naive and for the simple fact that they are mostly non-judgemental of who you are. Well that is until they reach a certain age like 8? and then they'll start judging and all that. Haha. That's why i like kids who are younger than 8 yrs old. Hehheh. Oh ya btw, my snrs also thanked me for handling the event. Hmm, i don't think they were praising me, but i felt that they were glad that the whole thing went well. Haha. I guess it was important as there was going to be some inspector coming that day, so there was a pressure to perform well. Haha. One of them even said that i can be some I/C already and handle the juniors now.. Haha.. Oh well, I'm just feeling glad or shall i say yes proud of myself and what i've managed to achieve! Hehheh. Yes! I am! OKok it's getting really late now, been blogging for abt 45 mins.. gdness. Hehe I totally lub RRC aka Rotaract retreat camp!! Yayy! Hope to see more Outdoor activites in the next 1 though. Hehheh, am relly looking forward to it! Nights! and ciao!
