Day1
the 2 days that my friends and i have been preparing for the past 2 months has finally come down to this.. and it is finally time to execute what we have installed for the new batch of sec 1s... standing in the canteen i watched anxiously as the sec 1s came pouring into the school premises.. Their faces potrayed the looks of those who just lost all of his memories.. not knowing anyone or anything about dunman sec at all.. ZERO! well.. this is exactly what this camp has been designed for.. to welcome the sec 1s to the family.. make them feel welcomed and help them settle in..
As the Senior FA of the class 1H or for this camp.. Heroic HighLanders.. i must admit that being a Senior FA is no better than a FA actually worse.. there are loads of admin work to be done behind the scenes that the FAs do not know about.. ice breakers games.. not exactly what we expected it to turn out to be.. espcially when the FAs themselves who were supposed to help with the games can come up to me and even have the cheek to ask me how the game is supposed to be played.. *OMG sound effect*
Field cooking.. a complete disaster.. the FAs were making more mistakes then the campers themselves and we senior FAs have to step in and take control of the situation... to make matters worse.. the wind was howling hard that day.. and it was nearly impossible to start a fire with that kind of wind... Mass dance introduction went way better, despite the fact that i had to go on stage to demonstrate to the sec 1s.. i had a lot of fun with those on stage.. laughing as we did the full demo of the dance.. the sec 1s.. my gosh.. you should have seen their faces.. they had this extreme shocked look on their faces... guys looking at each other with blank looks.. girls.. giggling amongst their small clusters..
Games.. finally my class had their enthuism kicked in as they charged through game after game with a never-ending burst of energy.. unfortunately.. due to them being engrossed in the game.. safety was compromised as campers fell and injured themselves and the red cross room was flooded with casualties.. sad case.. and that more or less sums up day1..
Day2
As sunlight shone into the canteen.. i woke up.. sitting on the canteen table where i laid.. starting into blank space.. as my brain tried to register what was going on around me.. before long.. i was dressed and the sec 1s came back in eagerly awaiting to find out what today has installed for them.. nothing interesting in the morning except PT.. now that felt great but somewhat rather slack.. i mean it is understandable.. they are only 12years old right.. we cannot expect alot from them..
before i came into this camp.. i prayed that i would not want to resort to scolding to get my class back on track as i had done so the previous year to 1B'05... apparently.. that was not to be.. when i asked what the class had prepared for their orientation night all i got was an eerie silence.. as my FAs were called out of the room by the camp cheif.. i took the 'hot seat' and blared at them... "do you guys have any ideas for the performance tonight?? no? so i guess what all of you want is to stand on stage and embarressed yourselves infornt of your parents.. your friends and the whole school then?
*still no response*
some of you may think that this camp is SHIT.. then let me tell you this! i have been through this SHIT exactly 3years ago.. i went through this orientation night 3 years ago.. i went thorugh it.. put up a performance.. gave it my all and succeded.. i did not embaressed myself.. nor my parents! so if you people would want to carry on and embarress yourselves.. then by all means carry on.. i dont care!.. why should i? this aint my night.. its yours!! i had mine 3 Years ago! and am in the last year of my secondary school life! so as i said.. go ahead if you want to embaress yourselves infornt of everybody... be my guest!!.. so any of you have any ideas? or did i not make myself clear?!"
before i knew it..my FAs were beside me and my advisors behind me.. faces in anstonishment...
from then on.. they were filled with enthu and came up with all sorts of ideas.. durin orienteering.. they went thorugh each task with percision.. although there were some admin problems which slowed them down considerably.. they perservered and completed what laid ahead of them.. orientation night came and ended soon enough and 1H attained the title of best supporting class on of the 3 prizes give out that night... amazing.. so yea..
thats yet another chapter of my life closed..
