Thanks to my procrastination, initial plan was to blog this entry on Thursday but I was lazy. So I told myself, I shall blog tomorrow but I was out and was tired when I reached home.
I figured out that if I don't blog regularly, I wont be able to blog much in the near future. Especially I just changed my Twitter account profile, stating that I am a Lifestyle Blogger *ahem*
So I will try to blog often but that would mean I need to find interesting topics or happening stuff in order to blog.
(Even now when I am blogging this, I am distracted!)
Any friends that I am close with should know that I went for this children volunteer camp, camp mumbo as instructor. It was a 5D4N camp and it's definitely a wonderful experiences! At least, that's what I think. I make lots of new friends and also a few skills during the whole process of this camp.
The camp venue was at Ang Mo Kio Secondary. I still remember I was rushing for my project before I head down and I almost lost my way! (Damn those bus driver! Don't even know if they will pass by AMK Sec when I asked them...)
Lets skip first day since it's just setting up and some admin planning stuff. The real camp day was on Friday.
Day One of Camp Mumbo.
The children start to flood in and instructors with colour hair are told to wear a cap or cover it up with something for parent's first impression. (That's me included!)
Played a few Ice Breaking game with our respectively children and getting to know them.
Okay! While looking at the pictures (I didnt save most of them!) I realised I forgot how the timeline goes! I can't remember this picture is Day 1 or Day 2. So....yeah....
There was this Station game whereby we will bring our group's children and complete the games in 4 station. (In case you don't know, my group is HighBlood!)
First station was the "DIY Wallet/Purse"
The kids were taught to make use of masking tape and turn it into a wallet! Amazing huh?
Game Master Wei Lin
Pardon me, I do not have the pictures of the wallet/purse made by them. But the end result is very cute and you can try to do creative designs when you make use of different masking tape colour. :)
Next Station, I believe was the "Hand Sign Station" where the children have to work together and do some code breaking. The game master was Keru and John.
I got to say, this John guy is very good! A very funny and witty guy. Even the instructors was paying attention to him when he was giving game instructions to the kids.
After that, we went to "Mask Making Station" - A hands on craft using plastic bowl to make face mask.
Last staion, learn how to tie bandage.
Gladys with her crazy mask.
Crazy girls in our group
Fu Yong teaching the kids cheers!
And we had Sing-Along and Dance time.
The kids waiting to prepare their supper. Tang Yuan.
Zi En and two lovely kids.
And this Is Xander, one of the popular kid in our group!
Took a photo with him but I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THE PICTURE TURN OUT LIKE I AM FORCING HIM TO TAKE PICTURE WITH ME!
I swear he was very happy and delighted to take picture with me leh!
I have got retarded pose. (I so daring to post it out!)
The chef of the camp specially made big tang yuan with "special" ingredients for our group leaders AKA CI (Chief Instructors)
And I think he got the one filled with ginger.
One handsome pose for you all to see!
On the second day of the camp, we bought the kids to Sentosa. An outdoor matrix games, completing one game at certain station will earn the kids a special ingredient for their dinner which in other words, the kids work hard for their dinner.
Pretty awesome idea by Tong and Raine.
It was really a hot day ahead. But I am sure all of us had lots of fun even though there was miscommunication and complains. Hahah!
Pass the Water Bomb. The kids were divided two groups and in this game, and then they must be able to communicate with their team member and save the water bomb which they are able to use it and throw on the instructors!
Cute Xander.
Mumbo Idol. The kids must sing a cheer to our beloved game masters.
Our beloved game masters which were in charge of our group.
Balance it.
Throughout the whole trip, I was soo afraid that one of the kid will go missing or what so I was counting them whenever we move from one station to another.
After the whole matrix games, the children were given free time at the beach and the sea. The instructors were acted as the human boundaries so as to not let any kid swim too far away.
And I don't like it! Some of the kids very naughty (and playful) and splashed water on my eyes! I cant see!!!!!!!!!!!! They lucky I can't see if not I unleashed my power than they know! Muawahahahahah!
Show you all some adorable pictures of the kid when they learning a new dance for our camp fire night.
CUTE ANOT???! XD
We had another matrix game on the third day which consist of Soap Bathing, Musical Chair and Mud Tunnel.
The kids are allowed to use soap and help the instructors to wash their hair. Prepare to get bombed by colour water bombs if you lost in the musical chair.
And last but not least, MUD TUNNEL! One of the kid who had experienced mud tunnel before asked me if she can exempted from mud tunnel anot.
Thanks to her, I had this mental prepartion for what I will be facing because all the first year instructors have to go through the tunnel and this is the time where the old instructors will "take care" of us.
Briefing before Mud Tunnel.
All of us are blindfolded and indeed, I was told to go inside a dustbin and was rolled around. I was asked to bite a core of an apple, some disgusting salted fish and was fed with mud.
Vinegar was poured all over my head and it was very pain! I tell you! There's alot more too!
NOTE: Don't read this if you are not interested!
But I shall be glad because apparently my friend, You Da was the worst. Bascially, I do find certain part overboard to the point that they overlooked on certain things -refer to You Da's case-
Pointed out what happend to a few of people but some of them told me that it was alot worse in the previous years! C'mon! Yes, I understand this might not compare to the previous years! But I am addressing what happened in 2009!
Not trying to spoil the fun but at least have a little welfareeeeeeee? No?
Show you all one picture.
Try to spot me!
After the dirty games, washed up and we were given the 2009's campmumbo Tee shirt! And to prepare for phototaking!
Preparing!
One trial photo taking before the real one! Practice makes perfect wah!
TADAH!
Camp Fire Night.
Group by group, the children performed their dance segment. Afterwhich was instructors turn. If any of you followed me on Twitter, you will know that the dance we did was;
Gee By SNSD (Thats the guy's dance)
Sorry, Sorry By Super Junior (Girls segment)
Nobody by Wonder Girls (Combine segment)
I swear Sorry, Sorry was easier to dance than Gee!
Some random camp fire pictures!
And that's the end of the camp. Instructors starts to go crazy after we sent off the kids home. And I got this undescriber feeling, I think it's those She Bu De kind of feeling.
With that, I hope I can participate again this year!
All the instructors from my group, Highblood. Nice knowing all of you! =D
PS: Hey! I have no idea what to blog despite the fact that I say I want to blog more! Maybe my friends can help me by suggesting topics to blog on? But you have to either twitter me or msn me for your suggestions. Sorry ah, promise I will get comment box done soon!
