Just 1 day after my
Krabi getaway, it was time to work... As a Camp Instructor to
ACS (Barker)..
FYI: the Saints school &
ACS rivalry was around, during my time. It was all about the girls. You see, the Saints have their own school, in which they poach girls. This so called, 'territory' is also our alter-ego. Something which we do not invade or try to win over.
However,
ACS thinks they are the best in sports and studies and whatever they do, and not to mention rich
mofos~ Wooing girls from the Saint Territories. But of cause, all these are the past.. Hence, childish memories
aside ((:
------------------------------
It was a leadership camp, over at
Batam, for 3 Days 2 Nights~ Consisting of 17 students, Sec 2 & 3, and their
CCA was
NPCC. PERFECT~!!
I usually keep quiet at start of the camp, to observe the students.. So as to know how i should handle them and punishment if need be. In this case, I realise they are an obedient bunch, but of cause, young = childish at thoughts, where
Love Is Beautiful~
High rope obstacle course was one activity to see what kind of character they had. Some simply give up without trying, while others try and try, before finally giving up. I am not interested or impressed by those who can finish the obstacle in the fastest time, but rather those who can't, but try and try.
When we scale on something, it is best to see that we accomplish it all the way, and not a half hearted effort. There was one student, I vividly remember. He was shaking at one of the height elements, and keep telling himself that he can't do it.
I told him, 'But you haven't even tried, how would you know?' So, he took one step forward, slowly, but steadily... Next I said, 'Dude, you took that one step forward already, you already know how to continue your next step, now get over that fear, have trust in yourself, and push yourself..'
He did what i said, and eventually complete the obstacle. I had a talk with him, and asked how he felt. He simply said, he was afraid, and the first was the hardest, but yet again, it was the first step that made him realise how it felt, and also the technique to continue the remaining steps..
I am proud of him, for what he had learnt and applied. As an instructor, my job is to
inculcate to these students valuable lessons for them to apply in life. Not that i am perfect myself, but I am learning from them too!
Instead of procrastinating, why not try, before giving up! The first is always the hardest, but the second, and third would follow suit.. Its the conditioning of your mind, that can make that change, and pull you through ((:
Went to do
alil Community Service at this Orphanage.. Been quite awhile since I aided the less fortunate, apart from donation! So I just drew on their White Board, wishing there
Hari Raya (:
When we about to depart, one of the Orphans came up and say Thank You, followed by a speech.. It touched my heart, and sent a tingling chill down my spine, reminding me again, how fortunate I
truly am!
"We are very grateful for all that you have done for us. However, there is nothing for us to give back to you, in return. We can only pray for you.."

After
Batam, the next few days just flew by, like Boom Boom Pow~ the Chinese 7
th Month is over alas, and to commemorate it, I went to a '
Getai' dinner!
Hokkien songs, and Auction!!! the anarchy that is actually on-going while we eat. The food is awesome!!! Roast Pig skin, Abalone, Roast Duck, Steam Fish...
hahah, it was delightful. But some of my friends, already start developing Bellies.. my my~
After
Getai, straight to Marina Bay Sands again. This time to drink and chill with my poly mates! Honestly, I am getting quite bored of Marina Bay Sands
ardy. Like a second home..
Lol..

Friday!!! In lieu to this, it was
Tian Wee's birthday celebration, cum his farewell to Paris for 6months. It was held at the Cage [
Kallang].. Formed into groups, this was mine ((:

Gabrielites go strong!!!
the aftermath of the game.. Nic and his twisted knee!! Comes the approach of Stephanie's early birthday celebration.. Guess where it was held at? MARINA BAY SANDS.. Buffet dinner at The Rise, followed by Drinking session at Fuse ((:
It was amazing to know, how much information one could actually abstract if he scrutinizes the pictures to the detail. Too bad, no photography was allowed, else I could have taken every art piece on display and share with you guys!
Costing 17 Bucks, I personally felt it was too expensive.. But yet again, Art ain't cheap!! Rah~
Sunday was at Gman's workplace. Red Dot Traffic Museum.. He was working there as a Stall Assistant, and what he sells, sure is crazy! The items on sale, won Design Awards, and were unique in every way possible. It was an 'Out of the Box concept', and paying for the design, was exorbitant!!
Theres a gallery, costing 8 Bucks. So should you go there, have a look inside, and blow your mind, on how creative one could actually get.. It was a pretty sight, with many colours!! Totally makes you feel like a kid again!
What you are seeing are simply Tupperware of different colours, but they look so dreamy (:
The coffee machine, Nesspresso
i got the legs that girls would covet for.. i know!
Ear-ring holder on the left, and a Jigsaw Ring on the ring~
This is a Sink.. Giving the Eclipse ambiance to it..
A bathtub, i would die for.. my favourite colour!! Ceramic White <3 style="text-align: left;">There you go, the updates all at one go (: hope you guys enjoyed my entries, and please Tag for anything you want me to blog about !!!!
