How am I to stay angry? =\
Yea so the P4 camp just ended, it was on the 16-17th July. It wasn't as tiring as the P5 camp despite more activities, probably because the kids were all too busy doing their activities that they couldn't misbehave, and besides it's harder to misbehave seeing as they are in an unfamiliar environment.
The camp site was at Jalan Bahtera (forgot how to spell). Remember that fucked up place from Sec2 camp? Yea, it's that place. I remember a lot of stories about it seeing as it's an old place, and it didn't disappoint because now I've got more stories about it directly from friends.
But basically the whole camp kinda sucked because there were many kinks to sort out and I don't like to comment on such stuff. The only fun parts were:
1) walkie talkies, or whatever it's called. It's fun to announce to everyone on the same channel 'Senior facils please change to channel 2', and then start singing random songs over the talkie, just because we can. The batteries end up dying fast. And it's fun to walk by other junior facils with ETYF screaming 'Don't wanna miss a thing' through the talky.
2) walking around with a clipboard and feeling important because I have a clipboard.
3) shouting at kids when they run past me, because running is prohibited.
4) taking pictures of random underwear sightings on railings
I really cannot fathom how it got there. Someone must have been a real exhibitionist. So yea. Basically those were the highlights of the camp. Minus the Gee dance for campfire of course, it kinda failed. It's fun to practise in the dance studio though (;
And it's supposed to be the last year for the super senior facilitators because we've got NS next year, and we got like a lot of notes made by the junior facilitators for us and a video made for us so it was quite touching :c
All my anger towards them for screwing up certain things and not seeing the light the way I see it (which may be wrong, I agree, but I reserve the rights to be angry anyway) kinda disappeared and I melted because of other problems which makes the problem with facils pale in comparison, like administrative problems, problems with the establishment, et cetera. Besides, the notes written were quite touching and the video too (:
How can anyone stay angry? (;
I don't really know how to carry on with this blog post...
...but I can safely say that that's not the last RIV would be seeing of us (;
I don't really know what else to say now, so I shall end off here. The fact that we were given much fanfare makes me reconsider going back to help out or not--it seems anti-climactic to go back even after we were sent off =\
The bad thing about this camp was that there's finally a blemish in my records. I'm always settling kiddish problems ranging from
1) homesick
2) being uncooperative
3) misbehaving (in all its forms)
There was a guy I failed to discipline and I don't want to talk about it too much because it's kinda embarrassing :c oh well =\
And there was another highlight of the camp--night sentry. Really, the kids don't need sleep. They keep playing with torchlights and shining torchlights on trees. If only we could tell them ghost stories to shut them up =\
And there was a bunch of facils who just didn't want to go home after the camp. Really irritating, because I felt obliged to stay until they zao-ed home, and they zao-ed home at like 12.50AM =\ I was feeling really shitty because I need to shit and they couldn't take into consideration my feelings :c
Naw it wasn't that irritating, I just had to victimize myself.
