heh yeah i realised it like 2 seconds after i posted lol. but not fast enough for you! haha.

because you know there's this entire mindset about camp being the time where you get to be w people you prob wont be able to spend time w usually, like in church or in gb, camp groupings always try to put people who are not so close together, so they can bond. but im really glad cuz in a way being w people i knew + sec1s who were so enthu and all was just very comfortable, like i actually felt pretty at ease at being a leader, for once, and everything.

i think im a very strange leader/squad head, like the most bobo one ever, and the most unleader-y one too. heh. oh well. as for the crying juniors, haha then got excuse to hug you all! ;) but it is alright, crying is good, in a way! it lets things out. yeah, and im just glad i could help (hopefully).

yeah actually i was really scared about having like so many new levites, but after camp, i am greatly relieved. (: but yes, the next 3 months will be busy still. fun, but busy.

it so doesnt feel like i've been squad head for like 9 months? and yeah it really doesnt feel like in 3 months my batch will have officially left gb. :/ boo. time fliesssssssssssssss. (like a ladybird haha.)

Hmm I guess maybe other squads aren't as bonded as Levites, so in a way they do need to grow closer to their own squadmates. You know, if they hadn't grouped us by squads for camp, I think I wouldn't have gotten to know the levites sec1s even after a few months because there are SO MANY of them! (They will by morning inherit the earth!)

Haha I think one thing you really didn't have to deal with was awkwardness at sharing and making people open up XD

The thing about you is that you're close to juniors, and we're not scared of you! And you're really good with comforting people and being able to show your love when they need it... I have no idea what to do when someone cries while you're always such a great comforter.

...you've been squad head for 9 months?! It really, really, REALLY doesn't feel like it. Oh no when your batch leaves GB I'm going to cry and cry, ahhhh. And I think I'll feel quite scared, eep.

yupyup i agree. even w fotl and all, we still wouldnt have been able to grow so close to the sec1s! and im glad we did, yay. (:

hahaha YES. it was really so cool how the sec1s were all so open and willing to share lah, even though we're almost strangers to them, in a way.

comforter... i sound like a pillow thing! lol. x) i like pillows. hoho. i like the being close to juniors part, but i guess my biggest problem is that the closeness sort of waters down my authority in a way. like sometimes people dont listen to me and all or take a while to.

yeah isnt it? cuz like 3 months left right? and so 12-3=9! i can count! hahaha. but yeah oh man so scary. D: and it really doesnt feel like so long, even though i had an extra one month of leading cuz of cantata, but yeah it really feels like i've just begun. and heh i was talking to someone, cant remember who, but i was saying that when my batch leaves im probably going to cry during sec4 farewell. like crazyyyyyy. haha.

Haha I was telling Lydia about camp and sec1s sharing, and she said "i think once u share, means u are like.. willing to share ur life cos u are making urself vulnerable oso" - I really hope this means the sec1s will open up and share anything they might be facing with the Levites! Then we can really be a family which supports one another (:

Pink pillow! :D Hmm actually I think closeness might not water down authority, but instead change the mindset/reasons for obeying. Like if I'm not close to and half-scared of a senior, I'd listen to what she says because I'm scared of her. But if I'm close to someone, I'd choose to listen to her not because I'm scared of her but because I don't want her to be sad/upset, so in a way I'm obeying out of love rather than fear/anything else? Haha I don't know! But I think the sec1s adore you so they're quite willing to listen to you (:

Did you do much like in July-November last year? Because somehow I don't remember the squad heads playing a very squad head-y role, hee.

I just went back and read my March Camp 2006 post, and it says "I'LL MISS THE SECFOURS WHEN THEY'RE GONE. ): ): ):" Ahhhh so true, I miss batch06 even though I only had 1 year with them!
