i went t RYLA (rotary youth leadership camp) the last 4 days... it was really wonderful i've met a lot of new friends and learned a lot of stuff. the 1st day,once we were on the bus, we started meeting new people and make friends with them. we went to the Orang Asli Village to help them and give the things which are useful to them... it was then when i realise that we should be grateful of what we have now....then we arrived in the resort where we will be there the next 3 days.when we reached there, we had an opening ceremony and we were assigned to our respective room. my room had 4 people but in the end, 1 of them found out that her friends are in the room next to ours, so she shifted there... i didn' t even got to know her. anyway i think that if u shift to your friends room then at is the point of the organising committee to arrange us to make sure we do not stay with anyone we know. there, i got to know jiew ann and prieya. then we got back to the hall to have an ice breaking session. we got divided into groups. then we had to get a group nae, a group leader, a slogan and a group cheer in a short time. at last w got our leader, bryan heng and we are called the yellow pikachu (*laughing my head out*). then i got t know my group members, (emy, sin hui, kelvin, melvin, bryan, ly
(le yong), siao qiang aka cockroach
(chee keong)), then after dinner, we hed 2 present our group cheer and group flag (truth is, i was the 1 presenting it cause they say my eng is the best).that was the 1st time i talk into the mike in front of so many people (so scary).
the next day, we had to wake up real early to have our exercise(it was abut boxing... really tiring) .we had sessions, which means that we had to sit down n hear people giving speech. it is useful but boring... sad to say. the most fun part of the day is when we had a session of clowning... no joke... real clowning. we get to paint our teammates faces into clowns. then we clean ourselves up during tea break and get ready for the next session which is jungle n beach trekking. it was really tough. when we went back, we realise we lost 2 members from our group and we did not have their contact number because we r not really close with them yet. we waited for a long time until the organising committee managed to call them and realise that they are already in their room. our team leader was really angry when he saw them. he banged the table and went off(i thought our group is going to be in a bad state form that then on).oh, i forgot to say that i accidentally banged my forehead onto the tree because i was busy looking at my footsteps, as i am really clumsy, but when i look up, my forehead hit the tree. luckily it mas minor although it was bleeding. after the jungle trekking, i went and bath and get ready for dinner. during diner, i realise that my group was back to normal because the two missing guys went and say sorry to our team leader. after dinner, we had another listening session. after that my group started discussing about our talent night presentation. we talked about nonsense and at last came u with dancing to the song barbie girl by aqua. that night before i slept, i had to think about our dance moves and i had to think of things to interview our speaker the next morning(because each team is suppose to introduce the speaker with opening speech and closing speech, and as usual, my team asked me to do that part).
on the 3rd day, i managed the interview and speak in did the opening speech(i realise i am not scared to speak in front of a lot of people anymore). at night we had our talent night. our group danced to the song. the guys took the girl part and the girls took the guy part in the song. it was so funny. the guys in our team rock. they wore balloons in their shirt as breast to make it more hilarious. in the end, our group got 2nd place. then we had a dance night. everbody there can really dance. after the dance, it was past midnight. i went out of the hall onto an open space facing the sea. there were a lot of people there because we were seeing shooting stars. it was th 1st time i saw shooing star. it was beautiful... i slept at around 3. some slept at 5.
the next day(which is the yesterday, last day of camp), many of them woke up late because everyone was really tired. we exchanged phone numbers and e-mail adds to keep in touch with 1 another. after lunch, we went home. it was really fun.
this is not the end of my holidays because i am going for another camp 2morrow. this time, it is a buddist camp. i am going with all my cousins. i hope we will have a lot of fun............(^.^)...
