End of Camp: The Green Adventure Day 1

A mixture of feelings:Relieved, Glad, Disappointed, Lucky, Satisfaction, Sense of Achievement.

The whole preparation was tedious, was thankful to my committee for being so understanding & cooperative in giving their ideas & time.Especially Angie, though she is a staff on a payroll, she sacrificed her time w/o complains or fuss, i really respect her for that. The volunteers oso, most of them are having exams this week, yet they still took precious time off to partake in this camp.It was incredible on their part.Sacrifices, how i wish there were more others who noe e meaning to this.

I was very nervy when e beneficiaries arrived, i didnt even prepare my opening speech.The worst thing was, when they arrived, i was still shopping for food in Great World City!OMG. Then it was ice breaker, but rain came, heaven was uncooperative, so we moved into e hall.In e end, we were told we will be charged for that. wat e hell. I was pissed of course.

Then its preparation time for grps on e campfire performance, i took e chance to set up for outfield cooking. It was still raining, i prayed hard that it will stop b4 campfire, coz it will really dampen my mood.I was stressed & pressed.But thankfully, Clare & Ben arrived, my saviours, they set up e bbq stove then helped mi oso in e campfire. They were great help to not only me, but all e participants benefited from their kind & selfless gestures.& oso e weather was playful, juz when i believed e rain had stopped for good, dark clouds came rolling by.

I was fustrated, then i said, " i give up 2 yrs of my life for u to stop raining." Sounded stupid, but i was really sincerely hoping e rain dun spoil e moods of all participants. 6.45pm.the sky cleared. I was so grateful, so hurried in e setup of e campfire. 7.30pm, campfire commences, & i was totally elated bcoz i knew we did a great job.

Tealights led e way along e long stretch of e drain, on e benches were lightsticks belonging to their group colour & e whole ambience was juz fantastic. Things finalie went on well coz i myself enjoyed e campfire. There was tis irony when i performed in representation of e committee. My Talentime Final was on e same day too, but i thought instead of singing in front of simply pathetic & shallow ppl in SIM, i might as well sing for e participants, coz i find it more meaningful & happy.

End of campfire, we sent e beneficiaries home. I asked a few of them if they enjoyed e day, they simply couldnt hide their joy. My sense of satisfaction was juz indescridible. I was encouraged, & i looked 4ward to e next day of fun. So we went on to BBQ, & i thought it might be a gd way to bring all e volunteers & committee closer. I guessed it did, coz they were so fascinated by my ghost stories. We chatted till morning, didnt sleep @ all, well @ least there were 6 of us. e other reason i didnt sleep oso was tat it was raining non stop since campfire ended. I was worried tat it will affect e next daez activity. I was ready to sacrifice my sleep in exchange for e rain to stop. Crazy again.
