sonic boom.
I'm using the lj portal. For some reason I get atotal kick out of it. It's like Friendster, Blogger and lj rolled into one! :D
The last four days have been bad/great/fun/boring. I was at the Sec Three Leadership Camp helping out. I know, I know, the adjectives are contradictory. When I started this entry, I felt like writing:
Day One: Sucks.
Day Two: Boring.
Day Three: Burnt, peeling skin.
Day Four: Concluded the camp REALLY SUCKED.
But you know what, that's really not true. Sure, the old girls treated us like scum, looked down on us, criticised us unreasonably, but once I let it all go, once I learned to ignore them, disregard their views, their opinions, it was actually quite fun! They might have thought we were disrespectful, irresponsible, bad leaders, all that jazz, but why should we care? Looking at them, I don't see how they are any better. They might have the upperhand because they are older and people tend to be more wary of older people, but other than that, I don't think they are that great.
Maybe other people might have treated the situation differently. Perhaps others might have humoured them, went with the flow, maybe even conformed to their attitude. But honestly, I don't see the point at all. What's so wrong about showing others your displeasure? To me it isn't rude. In fact, if everyone did that the world would be a much simpler place.
Anyway I am digressing terribly. Back to talking about the camp. Apart from the old girls, once I learned to ignore their feelings and focused more on what the camp was actually about - the sec threes, it was much more enjoyable. I realised that my schoolmates, even though they were a year younger and I never had much interaction, much less bothered about them, were a really fun bunch! The group I was assigned to was crazyyyyy. This was the first time I enjoyed the company of everyone in the group, unlike camp corri with the sec twos. I saw some really good leaders and despite what the old girls have said, I think, in their own way, this bunch of students have what it takes.
Camp was also about joking with the others. Singing in the showers, playing Hearts, gossipping, pigging out on coke and ice cream, bathing late at night. I think without them I would have died. Especially Car and Iris. Thanks so much for going even though you didn't have to you guys!! Love youuu.
After camp, Iris, Nae, Gladys and I, along with some sec threes went to Pizza Hut for lunch. Very full, very delicious. Talking about food, I suddenly feel like eating some Polar curry puffs. The light pastry, the spicy, aromatic filling (the best part: NO EGG). Yummmmmm.
Oh and I would like to say a big big thank you to my PC Council for the farewell. I have different thoughts on Mrs Koh now. I mean, she might have a LOT to say at meetings and her personality might be a bit... um, different from mine, but she's a nice person overall. I guess I might have misjudged her somewhat during the time I worked with her. Or maybe it's because I'm not under her anymore. Oh well.
OKAY let me finally end off. I planned to put stuf under a lj cut but I'm not sure where to cut. Hah. Okay okay ending off with a HAPPY TEN MONTHS TO JM. I can't believe it. Ten months with that joker/gay boy/whiny fellow and I AM STILL ALIVE. Haha just kidding POK. You know you love me.
Alright, byebye everyone. My plane leaves tomorrow for Thailand. I hope the thais don't think I have some weird skin desease (I have terrible peeling sunburn now) and not let me buy stuff at their shops, because I'm banking on lots of SHOPPING!!!!! I even brought less clothes so my shopping can have space. Let's hope my plane doesn't crash. See you all in five days. BYE!
