okay, at first i wasnt really comfortable with kids. as you all know, once i get angry, i can start shouting like a mad person and throw things across the room. so it really wasnt easy for me to control my emotions. but of course, that was something we had to learn.

registration and ice breakers were fun. my group was unique. well, two girls were literally stuck together and a few others were quite quiet. so again, it wasnt easy to try to go down to their level, communicate with them, and help them open up to the others to make friends.

group development! the cheeer came from me. the banner, we had many suggestions about how we should draw it and so on. of course, agruements occured and everyone started taking out their own notebooks and drew their own ideal flag. i mean, its alright for everyone to has their own ideas. but this was a group thing and i needed them to work together. so yea, i was frustrated, pissed, and loss at the same time. of course, all went well after we tried to please them.

journey preparation! we had to present an item, song and u'know. so everyone was like, huh...so the first few things that came into our mind was, she bangs, chicken little and carwash. but we chose she bangs as it would be amusing and entertaining. but, none of us knew exactly the whole lyrics, so we spent one hour practising 4 lines only. being a perfectionist and wanting my group to do well, i asked jason and everyone to help me download the lyrics and songs. they were so helpful! omg thanks. so we had the full lyrics, but practice time was over! ): fortunately, my co facils and I, managed to get the cooperation of the kids to be efficient and sqeeze out time of our schedule. we made use of shower time and dinner time! we had like 30mins to learn 3 whole new paragraphs, new actions, and combine them together. my group was awesome! whooo. donovan, thanks for copying the lyrics!

lasallian idol! we presented, had wonderful comments, although we din't win, i felt that we did very well. we learnt practically one whole song with actions in less than 2hours. we tried our best, thanks guys.

btw, we all knew faith won cos they sang a lasallian song, if not we would have won. great job!

storytelling and night activity! i was basically sleeping. yea.

reflection! well, while during reflection, the group should be quiet and attentive. but of course, their primary 4,5 so i din't expect them to understand that and i had to control my temper. we could have done better here my darlings.

after ot meeting which ended around 1140? some went to bathe, i went with her to the timble room and ahem. haha. 12 plus, i went back to my dorm, she got caught. so she said " we have until one to sleep!" lol. clare, rach, iggy, ian, gerald, pong and i went to sit under the stars and had a good chat. of course, we rushed back at 1259 as we dint want to do pt (george!!!)

haha, the moment i laid on my sleeping bag, i fell asleep. woke up at 5, smsed clare, learnt that she din't sleep at all. went down to her dorm, ahem. then rach, ted and jerome came from dunnoe where. lol. chatted, blah blah blah.

630am of day 2! i went to bathe, wtf water was freezing cold. haha.

my group was first at the courtyard, with clare's group second. haha, the exercise (easy to us) was relatively difficult for them. it was amusing. haha :D oh yea, great job guys.

journey! at salvation army home! (i slept during the bus journey there) PONG SUPPOSED TO BE IN CHARGE, but the moment i stepped down the bus, 2 pieces of paper were given to me,"energizers". i was like, huh, why give me. wth. lol. so we went in. i became in charge of everything -.- went through the energizers, had to organize the positions and everything. wow, first time i had such a great responsibility. but well, when opportunities arrive, grab them! dont push the responsibilities to other ppl. we did, THE SIDE THE SIDE THE SIDE, PEEL BANANA, BOOGIE-WOOGIE WASHER WOMAN, THE COMMUNITY SONG, SHE BANGS, WE ARE LASALLIAN, AND CHA LA LA LEH-RO.

trust me, it was very challenging to make sure the kids follow your instructions. next, we were splited up into our groups. songs were played, and we were taught the actions on the spot. here, i have to say, mission! u guys did a fantastic job. you guys managed to dance with the songs and all. wonderful (:

okay, time was running out, we took group pictures and left. (i slept on the way back lol) they were disturbing me, trying to irritate me and make me piss off, but too bad, u all failed :P

well, then we had reflection and everything. closing ceremony and everyone left. oh oh of course, we cut up the flag, everyone was given a part of it (i took the cute frog! :P) hehe. okay then they left ): !@#$%^ i swear i miss u all. i miss u all damn fking much. although at times u all were irritating, you all left a deep impression in my heart and i'll rmb u all forever! omgomgomg. I FUCKING MISS U ALL. opps sorry.

haha, ot had to do final clean up and stuff. clare,rach, iggy, ted, ryan, donald and i went to pizza hut to eat(: ryan and ted left. 5 of us went to roxy square. we were all quite tired, and that clare! order pizza then dont want eat. tsk.
