My life

Umm… well finally this is something different from the usual stuffs i wrote in the blog. I just came back from a instructors chalet and i would say that this chalet is the best. We had so much fun… Basically every day starting from day 1 of the chalet, we had never had a time where we dun laugh… We laugh when we eat, we laugh when we plays games, laugh at one another when we get to do funny stuffs and we laugh when we are going to sleep.

I would say this chalet would definately be in everyone memories. The laughters, the smiles, the fun and most important is the bond of this Team. Lucky thing is that i have brought the view cam there to take down the whole 4 days 3 nights. All the crazy moments of the chalet is capture in the camera and the view cam. Especially the grand finale, THE BBQ, we had a great time chilling out, drinking, chatting and our performance by the Team… Recalling the whole 4 days 3 nights really put a smile on your face.

Sadly to say, after the chalet, we are all quite sad cos time passes really fast when you are enjoying yourselves. And we won’t know when will be the time we will gonna see each other again cos very soon school is going to start and most of the instructors in the Team is going back to school. But i would say that this chalet and the dream that we all share will definately stay with everyone. Simply because this dream have not ended… This dream as Zana said" this dream will come back real soon."  Good luck guys… CHEERS!!!

Ummm… Recently just finished a corporate training in Sentosa. Well program were running smooth but hectic due to the shortage of time. Actually nothing very special about the whole program. To me, is just like any other program but the thing is that suddenly realise that there is still a lot of things which i need to improve on.

All along have been doing schools trainings and suddenly switch to doing corporate, so in term of facilitation, i’m still not very capable of bringing the message across to the participants. Though the whole program was a success but still i dun find it a impressive one. Had a long debrief with the instructors, telling them what was lack in the program and what is need to be improve on. After that program when i reach office, i was thinking wherther am i asking for too much… Maybe is that i’m expecting too much of all the outcome of the programs. Resulting me looking and picking on all things on the debrief…

I think i’m falling back into stress again… Recently just manage to cope with stress but now i falling back into it with a different prospect… Sigh…

Sorry guys… WE WILL LEARN AND IMPROVE TOGETHER… Everyone needs training and learning, we will undergo that together and to make all future program a great success… I PROMISE!!!

Well… more news from my camps… haha… Well recently have just did two very good camps which is ITE Tampines and Bedok Green Pri Sch. ITE’s camp was nothing new to me cos is bonding and leadership camp and Bedok Green was TAF club camp. I would say that i really enjoy myself for both of the camps. Reasons is that the participants were fantastic. In doing this two camps, i would say is a great memory for all of us, especially the kids from Bedok Green Pri. They have the most fun. They were simply laughing and smiling thru-out the camp. The best thing is that we have no casualty for all the camps.

Recently all the camps i did, i was the camp chief and no groups to attached to me. It was very different feel cos all along i was a group instructor. But things have not changed a bit. It was still fun and very good learning experience. Last time as group instructor, i will only need to facilitate my own group where as now i need to facilitate all the participants and also all the instructors. Of cos there is more responsibilities but its good learning experience. I would believe in time to come we( including all instructors that i work together with) will make a name for ourselves in this market. We will all grow and shine together.

Bottom line is… Camps will not be successful without all of us. Lets work for better future. Cheers!!!

odRecently just finished a camp with Ngee Ann Poly. Well i would say that i did pick up a lot from everybody in the camp. The camp started well on the 1st day. Everything was smooth till the heavenly being decided to end everything with a rain… Hahaha… When the rain came, we were actually caught off guard. We thought it will just be a short while but it lasted almost the whole afternoon, where we have to call off all activities in the day, which bring disappointment to many. It rain so bad that the participants wanted to leave and go home. That was where the crisis was. But somehow we settle the whole issue and continue to run the program. The whole camp ended well and everyone leave home happy. But what i want to say is that i am very lucky to find a good team to do the camp with me. This was the very 1st camp that i have not stop laughing. With the group of instructors i chose, we were able to overcome the crisis as a team. I would want to say THANK YOU to all of them for making this camp possible. And also the secret dream we had… hahaha… Basically all of us enjoyed ourselves in the camp. We learned from one another and most importantly is that we worked as a team. The team spirit among the instructors was great. Its a camp where all of us will remember… the instructor’s performance, the cross dress competition, the DREAM, the laughters… Guess nobody will understand what we have gone thru and also how we feel… For myself, i will never forget this team of instructors… You guys were great…

After tat very long time since the last camp, went thru a few camps. Like the ITE camp for Bedok ITE and for Blangah Rise Pri Sch. The passion of doing camps is building back in running the programs.And finally realizing what i really like about doing camps, despite being totally tired, is tat when u see kids smiling, laughin and enjoying themselves, u will just simply forget of everything. And when i say everything its really everything… Being a counsellor, mentor or even role model for tis kids, i would say its really not easy but when seeing them learn and change, give u a sense of satisfaction and recgonition tat u have accomplished ur task as a good instructor to them. Having them coming to u at the end of the camp saying ‘ thank you ‘ will really motivate u to push forward.
In another word, in every camp, there is always something to look forward to and learn from the kids. And realising tat is time to upgrade myself to a higher level, to be able to educate the kids will be a bigger challenge…

After all tis while, have not been havin a camp tat will leave a strong impression… i just did a 3 days 2 nites camp at coasta sands with e pioneer pri sch. Though tis camp is a bit hectic but i still enjoy myself in the camp, mainly because of the kids. Tis group of kids is really soul lifting. Though tired by all the work, after seeing tat the kids really love tis camp, all the hard work is really worth all tis while. Seeing kids walkin up to u to say bye with a face longin to be with u n sad faces really hurt n glad… In tis camp, i felt lik i acted more lik a father den a instructor cos got to really care for most of the kids… like talkin to them when they have home sick problems, fall down, get injuries n also problematic students… The one tat left me with the deepest impression was tis kid call benjamin… He is a very nice guy by nature but is just tat he wanted to seek attention but in a wrong way. He wanted his peers to see him in a very different ways which result him to be a bad person towards many of his friends. After talkin to him for a several time, he begin to change… better…
The most memorable time is when they r leavin back for the school, he actually came forward to hug me n say thanks n bye with tears in his eyes… seein tis really motivate me to carry on doin camps for schools… Despite being tired, of not havin enough sleep n all the hardwork, seeing kids enjoying themselves n lookin upon u as their mentor really brighten up ur life alot…
In my heart i really can’t bear to leave the kids myself… Just hope tat they would remember tat they haf a camp lik tis n a person lik me, as i would remember tis camp in my heart….

Before i start writing, i would like to dedicate tis site to my beloved belated grandaunt. It was her who inspire me in a lot of things in my life. Too bad she is not able to share it with me… … …
