Pre-camp.
I'll write something about the camp, mostly the highs and the not-so-lows. Camp mah, remember the good times, don't let the bad ones linger in the mind too long. I arrived pretty late that night [as usual], when we were supposed to do our group corner and stuff. What else could be a more erxin obstacle? IIC la. Anyway, upon reaching, the group corner has been nicely done up with crayon-filled mahjong papers and full of ka-zhua related stuff already. The camp's theme this year was 'Pests' and the 4 groups were 'Ka-zhua', 'Hor-sing', 'Gao-heah' and 'Chi-leng' respectively. At the briefing, it was quite a sad view. The size of the circle which instructors sit in seem to shrink by half [compared to last year], and the amount of kids per group seems to be lesser as well. The programmes were much better though, with ball games and outdoor cooking on the first day, outdoor activities at Sentosa on the second, and a super fun obstacle course on the third. The average age of my group [compared to last year] has also decreased significantly, due to the retirement of similar-age peeps to more backstage roles. Nevertheless, being instructors have to be the most fun of all - you play with kids, you don't like you can slack, the kids remember your names, etc, etc, etc. Sleeping at around 3am, after deciding which ice-breaking games to play and which cheers to teach upon the kids' arrival, we woke up the next morning in partially-shag mode. Hopefully I can recall as much fun stuff as possible as I continue to type out this 5-days journal. It's been fun, can't wait for Saturday - the kids' X'mas Party.
