Whoa Whoa Whoa!!! I'm finally back to blogging, so busy past few days and now then i have the time to blog and rest... Having lots of things before that... but the main thing which took up my time was the Sec 3 camp!!! Let me talk more about it then...

2 April 2007
On this day, all the Ex-Leaders, current leaders plus Mr Rani, Mr Remund, Mr John Tan, Mr Siva and Mdm Sarinah were there, we are suppose to recce there and get use to the stations and the belay system.. Was doing relief for Ms Hanani in the morning, until 1.05pm, i went down to the canteen and gathered all the Ex-Leaders, after all are ready, we all set off, i was suppose to take Mr John Tan's car, so others left first while Mr John Tan and I went out to buy cloth for the group flags. After buying, we come back and ready to head to Changi campsite there. However, there's something wrong with his car key and he is unable to unlock the security of his car, although we are able to open the doors, but he can't start the engine!!! We spent like 1 hour plus on the car trying to unlock. In the end no choice but to call the help center, follow the method to unlock manually and FINALLY, we did it... Headed off immediately down to Changi..... Reach the campsite, everyone is already there doing all the stuff, so we quickly join in...

In the evening, we practice the Mass Dance for the campfire and at night, the current leaders had to study and some even had to do their test!!! My girlfriend was one of them... The Ex-Leaders all went out for supper... Alloysius, Zi Rui, Hafiz, Fraser, Soonyang and I went out to Changi Village to get our supper... Midnight, Hafiz, SoonYang and I cant get in to sleep, so we chatted in the canteen until around 5am then we get in for some sleep...

Woke up around 7am. Prepared ourselves and the Sec 3s came at around 9.30am. When the Sec 3s went to the canteen for some briefing, we the Ex-Leaders have to spot check their bags, We checked throughly but still i think some had hide cigrattes in their bag. Nothing much on the earlier morning. Its the General Element Stations, as usual there are activities like Trust Fall, Belay School etc... After lunch, its the high element and canoeing etc, i help out in the flying fox station and everyone seems so daring to try it out... Good Sign!!! Nth much happen though... Evening after dinner, everyone is busy preparing their campfire program, the current leaders are busy helping them but all the Sec 3s dun seems to give a damn about it, notice that when i was making a walk around to see, the leaders seems so stressed up, so i talk to a few groups, and things got better a little bit. Nth much happen after that... Asked Fraser to buy back for me a packet of Nasi Lemak from changi village and some ex-leaders went out..

Din really sleep well, was doing sentry duty.. Morning wake up a bit tired.. They had their flag raising and 5BX while we ex-leaders just roam around and wait for breakfast... After Breakfast, back to the high element stations all this.. Help out in the flying fox and absailing... After Lunch then i help out at the canoing.. Siew Yee injured her leg so i canoe with her for the first session, second session i canoe with my girlfriend, haha.. Canoing is fun!!! Then was up after the canoing and then was busy preparing for the campfire already... Campfire was in-charge by the Ex-Leaders and all of us were busy setting things up.. Once everybody settled down, we started the campfire, the MC was Marvin and to me, he is a super nice and entertaining guy who is a truly great leader.. I learn a lot from him and he is one of the few guy i look up to as a great leader and an example to learn from... Campfire was fun, sang lots of songs, watch the groups performance and its FUN!!! I like the finale song especially where we the Ex-Leaders have to sing to the Sec 3s, its a very sad song and i guess almost everyone cry, in fact all ex-leaders have tears rolling down as we sang the song....

Linger

hmm..i want to linger
hmm..a little longer

hmm..a little longer with you..

hmm..it's such a perfect night
hmm..it doesn't seem quite right

hmm..that this should be my last with you..

hmm..then comes April
hmm..i will remember
hmm..the camping days & friendships true..

hmm..and as the years go by
hmm..i'll think of you & sigh
hmm..It's just goodnight and not good-bye

Everyone were so tired after the camp, after i ate my supper, i fell asleep in the canteen, everyone was sleeping so soundly in the canteen...
