Heya guys!
Reflection on Zion Zone Camp Nov '07
Well, I seriously think that this whole camp was FUN! Although the attendance saddens me, i still think that the camp was way great, meaningful and fruitful to me as i have learnt lots of stuff from it.
Day 1
We started off with the preparation of the water bombs(credits to melissa, paulyn, eunice, me and minyen) and soon, we then proceeded to the playing part. We were all soaking wet but i guess we all had a laugh about it as it was really enjoyable splashing and throwing water bombs at each other! hehe...
Next, we played scissors, papers, stone on the benches and that's where paulyn got injured on her foot. It all happened when one of the benches fell and I was playing on it and ya, I fell but unhurt but paulyn was standing beside and therefore it hit onto her foot. She was in pain and everyone started to comfort her with soothing words and encouragement. I felt really touched and suddenly thought that this world is such a happy place to live in where everyone shows their concern for you. hehe...
After that, we had training and indoor games and lunch.
Next was amazing race. As paulyn's foot was injured, she decided to stop halfway as the pain was overwhelming. I followed her and we went back to our bunk to take a rest. Melissa was there too as one of the contact lences broke in her eye and she was indeed in pain. She took her contact lences out already but her eye was still red and painful. I really pitied her as i can sort of feel her pain as my mama and sis and bro got sore eyes before and they felt really painful already and I bet mel felt double the pain.
Next, we had dinner and it was time for our training and then, nightwalk. The nightwalk was really, freaking SCARY!!!!!!!!!!! Arhhhhh!!!!!!! We were holding each other's hands really tightly, not wanting to let go. This shows how scared we all were.
Paulyn went home after that and Johnson carried her down the stairs!!!!!!!!!!! haha! Through the camp, I have found out that he is really caring and helpful as not only did he help Paulyn with her foot injury, he also helped Melissa with her eye injury. Thanks man!
After the washing up, Minyen came back with her ahem ahem.... hehe! Some thought that ahem ahem was handsome and hot! haha! After she washed up, she told us some of her personal stuff and ya, i suddenly felt that my relationship between Minyen and all the Zion Zone members became closer. And after that, nites!
2nd Day
We had breakfast, training, lunch and then i needed to go for my jap class. When i came back, it was time for bbq. We ate hotdogs, fish, pork... It was quite fun during the bbq as me and mel played the charcoal game. My face ended up so balck with all the charcoal fingerprints and stokes on it, thanks to melissa... haha! After that, we also had training and then, we proceeded to treasure hunt! The zion zone members were suppossed to scare the pa crew but I guess we ended up more scared ourselves! haha! After that, i had to go home due to some *ahem stuff...
OHya! Mel's eye was totally recovered by then! yay!
3rd Day
We had our morning exercises, breakfast and debrief.
Overall, I felt that the meals were alright, the people were fun to hang out with and I ahve learnt lots of stuff such as using the mixer to create a clearer sound, bonding with the zion zone and pa members and last but not least, I have learnt to show my compassion, sympathy, love, care and concern to those around me. Once again, I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to Minyen(for taking care of us during the camp), Clarice(for coming to visit us despite being so busy), Paulyn(for giving me a chance to show my concern for you and partnering me during
the amazing race and spending so many hours thinking about the games for the camp with me), Eunice(for caring so much for Melissa and participating in most of the camp activities), Melissa(for staying through out the whole camp and making me know how caring zz and pa members are), Jessica(for making an effort to attend our camp despit having singout), Qihui(for staying through out the whole camp despite being the only sec 1 around), Johnson(for caring so much for the zz members and planning the camp), Petrina(for planning the camp), Clara and Sijie(for making an effort to attend the camp), other pa crew(for making this camp so lively).
Thanks!
