HElooo everyone!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D:D hope it's a good one for everyone!
Soo.. since october i have been really busy.. hehe. School ended on the 30th of oct.. and i'm going to 4E1 next year! :D yay! my whole class got promoted. yay!
November.. nothing much happened in the first few weeks. except for band practices and Open house.. just played with the band.. didn't get to be a tour guide.. sadly.
Then came the last week of November! The best time! :D from the 30th of november to the 3rd of December i went for YVIP camp! There was a pre-camp on the 28th, where we met up with everyone and got to know our group members and our tf. Our group, 6's tfs are Eugene and Lewis! the two most awesomest tfs!! :D:D Created a group name a an identity. Mass group with group 5, vicky's group! :D Together we are Team Rocket! (pokemon) We are Jessie and group 5 is James. :D The two awesome groups!
On the 30th, we met up at the mrt and went to our camp site together at Camp Challenge at sembawang. Played ice breakers and really bonded together. Had a few workshops here and there.. and slept in a huge bunk.. Guys and girls together. just that there was an invisible barrier at the door. :) the second day, after learning te YV dance, we had a disabled challenge.. the first 6 groups (us) had our hands tied together and then the rest of the groups were blindfolded.. and the blindfolded people had to feed us. really fun. hor fun and chicken wing was a tough thing to eat. but fun! :D and learnt the YV song as well. In the afternoon, had teambonding games! Went to sembawang park for some games.. at the end had a whole water fight.. but it ended earlier.. cause someone got hit. :( haiz.. But it was fun.. we won some games.. and lost some. but it was great fun! Some workshops again.. at night.. had campfire prep, dancing. :D oh oh, secret pals.. we were all blindfolded and had debrief in different groups. didn't know who we were beside and all.
Third day.. morning had the YV dance again.. and and had another workshop and went out before lunch for a disabled challenge. Yun rong and Yi Hao was mute, so they weren't allowed to talk for like 5 hours. Huey Yin was wheelchair bound and Jia En was blind.. taped cotten wool to her eyes and wore sun specs. I was bandaged up and couldn't use my hands. Cindy was observer and Yvonne was Deaf. Went out to Junction 8 and AMK hub.. had lunch at J8, bought mac and went up to the sky garden.. Eugene had to feed me.. ish.. felt so helpless.. haha! had to do a few task.. like YR and YH had to buy food for us, without talking.. and i had to dial some numbers.. couldn't put my hand in to get the coin.. HAHA. It was real fun. people kept staring at us, wondering.. :D it rained when we were heading back.. got drenched! HAHA.. the bus stop was like on a hill and the water just poured down and into our shoes. Gross. had free time for like 2 hours. and did a last minute campfire prep.. Then at night.. CAMPFIRE! :D IT WAS AWESOME! that's it.. the old birds came back and we were all high and hyper. dancing and singing.. and the performances by all the 12 groups were all just as good.
That night.. campfire ended at like 1.30am.. lights out was at 2 am.. but everyone was up and talking for like hours.. in the end, at 4am, the tf and comm came in to get us to sleep.. but a group of us, Eunice, Sey Chee, Vicky, Yun Rong, Melissa and a few others didn't want to sleep. so we continued to talk and talk till around 4.30am. headed back to the bunks and slept.. Vicky slept with me.. no space anywhere else in the bunk.
The next morning we were all dead to the world.. alarms rang but no one got up.. The tf's were all late! woke up at 7 am, eventhough they were meant to wake up at 6.30am.. but it was the last day. so it was okay. Had a photo taking session group and mass group as well as the whole YV. cleared up the place and then debrief and one last YV song.. a few cried. and after a few words with our tfs, we all left for home.
But thankfully it wasn't the last time we were seeing each other. Attachment! We were attached to Cheshire Home in AMK. it's a physically disabled home.. going there was a brand new experience. We mainly interacted and played games with the clients in the home. Helped feed some during lunch and dinner. Made a few new friends. :D 2 weeks at Cheshire.. but for 2 days, went over for an exchange programme at Bishan Home, an intellectually disabled home.. Different experience but great fun as well.. the clients there were really fun! :D
So December was a very very good month for me.. i LOve YVIP.. hopefully i can go back as a tf or helper.. :D:D it'll be great.
LAst week, went down to KL, and got to see everyone. :D carolling was the best.. though it was tiring.
2011 coming soon.. wish everyone the best! see you guys soon! :D
