Reflections after camp
After PGA camp, so many things have been going through in my head.Besides sleeping a lot a lot lot, I’ve been trying to READ my textbooks (history apparently) and also reflecting on the camp.
Right after I came back home that day, I just felt so tired, mentally. Not quite lethargic yet, amazingly, but drained. That’s no wonder actually, considering all the pumping and preparation before the camp and actually stretching from long ago…. Os Chinese, PGA interview, Proposal, prep for camp and logistics prep.
Then the camp came, which showed how unprepared I was, defies the rules of being the model guide. And yeah, made me feel so unworthy of being in this test in the 1st place. But it doesn’t matter, now that I’m in it, let’s just try my best. And yea I just had to humiliate myself a million times as usual and say the wrong stuff at the wrongest times… AS USUAL
But still the camp rocks!! I was so skeptical that campers can even LISTEN to instructions and sorely believed that we’d have rebellious, uncooperative, vulgar, manipulative abusive totally unskilled and have no common sense campers. The reverse happened. And so much of a reverse it was!
O man! Even the most optimistic person can never imagine how fabulous they can actually be!
Enthusiastic, hard-working, diligent, attentive, cheerful, united, uncliquish, loud, guai, unvulgar, smart, intelligent, and need I mention enthusiastic again? All bursting with helpfulness and also super understanding and oh so supportive!
They understood that we all wanted to do well for our tasks as we were in this camp being tested. And so every one of them tried their best to put in their best efforts during our task. We were explaining what we would be doing for our task and requested our expectations of them. Not only did they cooperate, they also were our cheerleaders!! “Danielle wo men hui zhi chi ni”
“we support u all”
“we want all of u to pass”
Such were our encouragement and morale boosters during the camp!
Not only were they helpful to us candidiates, they were also so bonded amongst themselves..
I was so surprised that they were already being competitive among patrols on the first day itself, right from the morning. Usually a cooperative normal group of campers would still take at least the whole day to settle in and build unity. But! Morning??! Unbelievable!
“haha our gadgets better than theirs! Ours strong than theirs! Our nicer….”
And they seemed to be so good friends already as they worked on their gadgets!!
Laughing and joking with each other.
And they are so sweet, and dora has been messaging me and calling me…
O well haha we’d a conference call from their school (they’ve a guides camp in their own school and they were feeling utterly sian). O well yi jun went off when I came on to bathe or something..
Aiyo then sharlene got her handphone confiscated cos they were caught using it at night. Sheesh I already warned them not to call me..
Ok anw, yeah I feel lyk a mother and at the end of the year I want to go back to Pat’s schoolhouse too to help them with the concert.
Haha juniors are so adorable!
