Dunman's 14th Leadership Training Camp went by quickly. In a short three days, I really learnt a lot from the people around me, from the juniors, the seniors, the people who worked alongside me. I want to thank everyone who was there and who made a difference in the time we spent together! :D

Although my department didn't get to carry out othe entire Sea Act programme in the end, I think it was all worth it. Standing there by the beach and watching the campers kayaking and rafting already made us beam with pride, that such things were actually achievable. Too bad we didn't get to carry out the second segment of Sea Act, which was a Survivor-inspired challenge that we thought would have been really exciting for the campers. The weather actually fooled us twice on that very day, and at the most crucial times too! I was quite upset at first, but seeing the people around me work so hard for something which eventually didn't materialise at all reinforced in me the fact it was actually the experience which really mattered, not the end result.

The last day was fun. We went to Ubin and I had to trek to this really ulu hut by myself early in the morning and when I was waiting for the campers to arrive in their groups at my station, there was this dog which sat in front of my hut staring at me because it was hungry! Poor dog lah, it eventually gave up it's wait after 15 minutes. I really thought it'd walk to me and jump on me! Then I followed my last group back to Dunman and that was where we broke camp.

I really felt that these 3 days were well spent. Certain things could have been better, but in the end I think I've gained so much, and had such a great time with the people around me, the main comm people, laughing and bitching about everything under the sun.


:D


The post LTC hangover was terrible. I slept for 13 hours, then woke up for 3 hours, then died again for another 2 hours! 2 days of not getting sufficient rest finally took it's toll on me. I've finally gotten to the part of the holidays which I've been dreading! I have to start studying and I've got less than 2 weeks to consolidate and cram everything in my tiny brain before the exams!
