Was thinking for what should I write for this post, then realised that perhaps I should summarise my holidays. So here we go. Have a feeling that this is gonna be a long post. But I know that you will read it till the end right. Hahaz.
The holidays started right after BP(business process) paper. The first meaningful thing did, accompany alan to buy his guitar. Alan is such an interesting guy, he's rich, generous and cool loh. Why I say that, well after seeing me play guitar for less than 5 mins while waiting for bus at a bus stop he decide to buy a guitar which is worth $120. Kind of interesting guy that generous in spending his money which makes him cool right? Hahaz. Well if U know him U'll know that my describtion of him is right. Hahaz. Well anyway I hope that he has been practising his guitar. Never seen him since his trip to taiwan. Btw when are we gonna go out again ah? Someone's been waiting for the opportunity to go out.
Well, holidays started at the time when I really needed the holidays. (duh... after 15 wks of sch who won't need) Yup so anyway, for the first few days of the holidays decided to take it easy and chilled out and relaxed abit. One of the targets I set this holidays is to help 2 of my frens to look for a job. Its not easy cos they have been looking for a job for half a year already. After doing some useful research and with God's grace, I managed to get them a job after a round of interview at BK. Praise the Lord!
Next up BREAKAWAY camp! Well I must admit that I am totally unprepared for the camp. My expectation for the camp is that its gonna be a camp that I can just sit back and have fun all the way. Never have I expect that it will be a camp that will challenge my capacity all the way. Wow so many problems I have to deal with everywhere. Lifting up the atmosphere, trying to come up with ideas in the race against time, dealing with people that want to run away, trying to get everyone involved with the team, dealing with people that is feeling emo...... It has been problems one after another. But well afterall I felt that I learned alot from the camp and its really good experience and its been nice knowing and working with everyone in team possible. I might not have been a good team leader but next time I promise to be more prepared and do better ok. 3 days 2 night. Well time flies when you are having fun.
Next up is y-camp challenge. Another camp but its a whole new experience. Thanks to chara, I have many wonderful memories from the camp. This camp is really an experience, I thought I had good experience handling with people with disabilities never did I expect that I would have problems with them. Well, I was tasked to befriend and look after yan tong thruout the camp. Come to think of it I really have trouble communicating with him. Very often I cant understand what is he talking and needed a few tries before understanding what he is trying to say. It really wrench my heart to see so many of them not being able to be physically or mentally fit look after themselves. Well I believe that God still have a purpose for them in their life that is thru them we might be able to appreciate life and learn from them. I'm sure they will be well blessed when the time comes. In the meantime, it is the duty of people around them like us to bring joy and love into their life. That in essense is the chara spirit. Right Chara? Yeah I hear the Wo ah ah ah!
Well next up a trip to Bintan. Went bintan with my aunties. Wow its been so long since I last went for holidays. I think the last time was when I was in pri sch. Wow more than 10 years. Hmmm.... the trip was quite boring actually. Which is probably due to me injuring myself on the 1st day the first trip to the beach. What was I thinking when I tried to climb the rock. Haiz nvm. Everything in bintan was ex from the food to the gifts. So in the end, sorry guys didn't buy back anything for you. Wanted to pick some nice sea shells but injured my leg and my wounds couldn't stand the sea water so it was kind of wasted. But its a good time just chilling out and enjoying the sea breeze in Bintan for 3 days. In between, also managed to get project Babel going. Its a project to t-shirts in smu. Well hopefully we can see more progress as the term goes by. Yup.
Well perhaps the only regret this holidays is the failure to spend more time with my frens. People like chee seng, sorry always not being able to spend time with you. Alan and zhiwei sorry never really teach you guitar. To all my frens that I promised to play soccer with but didn't happen. Its quite hard to organise a soccer outing. If I can I'll organise one during the mid terms break ok. And also so many others in W369 couldn't spend much time with you especially during christmas. Well the problem is due to me wanting to keep all the available free time for myself. I'm really sorry. This part I have to change. Anyway I think its been a really fruitful and enriching holidays. Thanks for all involved that made this holidays my best holidays yet.
