sigh..back from TA camp...a v.tiring experience...here's just few of my reflections....

1) I'm loving this whole experience of taking care of Sec1s....both physically and spiritually i guess. Spiritually..not quite there yet...there's still so much to do spiritually as an admin. We really need a change of heart in order for the spiritual needs to be met. Sometimes i get quite discourgaed or disheartened at comments like the camp has gone to a waste without the spiritualy aspect...but then i remember my birthday verse Joshua 1:9!!! do not be discouraged! God's strength in our weakness. I really pray that God will give us peace in how to resolve this issue and raise a generation of people who will be close to God!

sigh speaking of spiritual...i really got to get my life right first...that sin..go away in Jesus' name!

2) To scare someone...put them in a dark and quiet place. That's wad i learnt from the night games...bashing and making unnecessary noises will not make ppl scared for sure. But giving them that feeling of apprehension is the best way..ahaha :P. And one of the checkpoints required a person to walk alone into the clocktower at night...wow...freaky :P. The admin were more freaked out then the sec1s lol.

3) Orchard games....wow this needs some subtitles:

a) Holding up a 'Honk if you think I'm Hot' sign and running into a whole group of vehicles at a traffic junction is just satisfying...lol you realise how cheeky some Singaporeans really are...we really got a lot of honks k?

b) Singing 'We are the champions' replacing the 'We' with 'You' to a bunch of girls who we don't know...now being the nice person i was...i actually helped the sec1s out on this one..but it was supposed to be done sec1s alone!! Aiyah it was fun to watch the girls just freak out and think that we were lunatics. embarrasing though..totally.

4) Worship sessions...Ding did a good job...Sec1s were really shaq when i was leading...and Emil...well i pray he'll worry less next time...Thank God for everything that went pretty smoothly. However again...i have to comment on the spiritual aspect of the camp. i dunno...it just didn't feel like it materialized. But that whole thing on coporal punishment banned, and our change of mindset...i felt it was a step there!

5) Change parades...hardly any. Pushups, hardly any except on the second day morn when Wesley went crazy. aiyah...the sec1s had it easy and fun...but then again, that was the change we were trying to make. hope all the sec1s enjoyed the camp!

6) Hey don't be a fool (hey hey), somebody said we are number two/David Hu/Seagearnt Vishnu (who?), we are number one/Seagearnt Wesley Chan, TA2!!!

7) TA test answers...wow Benjamin Liau's was so encouraging :) and yes i'm not being a pedophile..but he's v.cute k? hopefully he'll speak up more...and he is...encouraging! Ok...so Joshua Cao became John Cao, Wesley Chan became Weasley Chan (right out of Harry PotteR), Vishnu became the CE NCO, I became Juniors NCO, and the Drill OIC became Mr Kekanan Pusing (answer provided by Malcolm...ahahaa). Thanks for the laughs guys!

8) Late nights and mega cream crackers...ok the cream crackers made everything right! they were just sooooooo good. Kenneth ate 33, John gobbled down like 20 sth, and kester also 20 sth, I? being anorexic took about ....7? and yes i took XL for T shirt size so i can't be anorexic nor am i thin! The sleeves were too long, i folded them up and was called a girl..bah :P

9) Lots of running. And on the last day we were cheered on by a group of girls who we didn't know at all....of course we had no time to patronize (not like we would anyway). Reminds me of the time i was doing pullups and a group of Fairfield students watched secretly from the back and i went away with an applause :P. It was just 4 pullups...come on..Derek can do like 8

10) Slept on grass with the Sec1s and my legs itched like dunno wad after that night :)

haha...on the overall a fun-filled and enjoyable camp. Hope all the Sec1s loved it!

bb! (no pun intended)
