BACK! From 2 camps, back to back, in one single week. It was really awesome. I seriously love my job. Or should I even call it a job? For the first time ever in my life, I get paid for doing what I really enjoy.
It’s tough being a Camp Instructor. It’s really tiring, especially when the energy level of your kids are one or two notch higher than yours.
I nearly got sick. (In fact my flu was already setting in)
I nearly lost my voice after shouting for 5days.
I do not get enough sleep everyday.
Most importantly, the pay is really damn low. =(
But.
I love outdoor adventures.
I love the people.
I love touching their lives with my past experience, with the values and all that God has been teaching me for the past 21 years.
I love seeing breakthroughs in them.
I really don’t know how to spell out all my feelings in words. Its really exciting, and amazing. How things are working in my life. It’s never like this before. And it’s just the start. I’m very sure things will just fall into place, at the right time. =DDDDDDD
Oh and, my primary school kids gave me this.
Sweet right?
And I’m now having all sorts of trouble with my jailbroken Iphone. =(((( I don’t know why whenever I try to meddle something technical, be it PSP, computers or Iphone, I never fail to encounter problems. I seriously don’t know why, especially when all my friends don’t encounter any problems at all.
That’s it. The time has come. The time which all NSFs look forward to, count down to.
As usual, the past will always be missed, no matter how terrible it had been. During the days spent SAF Mapping Unit (SAFMU), all of us were dying to ORD and kept grumbling on whether that day would ever come. Slowly and surely, batch by batch of our upper studies ORD-ed. Now that it is really time for us to go, part of me actually don’t want to leave the people, the environment in SAFMU.
Friendships were forged as we ran the same race. Now, it’s time to split ways. Words of “keep in touch”, “Continue to meet up”. Will they fade away with time?
Nevertheless, the future is exciting, for I know there are plans laid out for me, plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future. =D
Yes and I’m really looking forward to that day. =D
Someone asked me “Eh? you in army? So when you ORD?”
And I replied with a big smile “Next Fri !!”
That someone just made my day. =DD
Jia Wei I know you are reading this. Lol. Everytime stalk my blog but never tag. Don’t emo because we will keep in touch! Like i said, my HP number will never change so SMS/call me anytime!
I will be doing camps in Camp High Achievers(HA) very soon after my Genting trip. I think Camp HA screwed up my email or something. But never mind. Everything is settled. Million thanks to my friend who helped my clarify everything. =D
Something funny happened. I went for my run just now. As always, I don’t have a watch for running. So normally I would ask a passer-by or other runners out there for the time before I start my run and after I complete my run. Then I would estimate my timing. As I walked towards the traffic light, I saw an uncle in running shoes, shorts, t-shirt and shades, with a towel wrapped around his neck. Obviously he was also out running. I asked him for the time and he flashed his watch at me.
Guess what?
HOLY SHIT. Thats a damn rolex! Lol. I mean, running with a damn rolex on your wrist? Either thats a fake or he’s just plain rich.
Anyway, I think my fitness is dying. I’m gonna die in Safra Avventura.
It’s been really some time since I run. The last time I ran was.. one day before lasik? Which is like, almost 2 months ago? Lol. I ran again yesterday. 4km - Cui. Looking at my performance yesterday, I really wonder how I managed to complete AHM at 2hours 22minutes. =/
Anyway, its the first time I ran with my new, God-gifted, perfect eyesight. And I tell you, the feeling is soooo wonderful. =DD And its also the first time I ran with my new, custom made insoles which cost $200plus (totally covered by SAF woohoo!) Those insoles work wonders as well. My ankles and knees doesn’t hurt anymore. =DD
Safra Aaventura coming, X-physique coming. Got to train more.
January is a busy month. But still, life’s good. God is good. =DD
That’s it! Its already 2010. Seriously fast. The older you grow, the faster time flies, because the more you are aware of the things in this world. When we were all kids, life was so carefree because everything was taken care of by somebody else. We do not have much responsibilities, neither do we have things to worry about.
January is gonna be another busy month for me, with events like BB Recruitment, my secondary school Alumni Dinner, Genting trip with my army mates, and most importantly, O.R.D. !!! How can I forget that important date? Lol. After which I will be working as camp facilitator lo. Exciting job, but monetarily uncertain as well. Haha. Nevermind. I shall walk in faith. =DDD With so much to do in January itself, 2010 is gonna fly as well. =/
Malaysia trip with my siao-on cousins.
All the cousins, plus my forth uncle. So old liao my forth uncle still don’t want to marry. Tsktsk.
We went to this shop that specially sells all types of chocolates. And yes, ALL types. =)
Primers camp was seriously good. The primers got the message. =D And looking at the photos, I suddenly realised that BB boys are really a bunch of active, crazy, full-of-wild-ideas kids. lol.
LOL.
Damn bloody old signboard. I suppose its not in use anymore. But this kind of thing is very rare to find in Singapore. Blast from the past! =D
Outdoor cooking was kinda screwed. lol. Because
1) The firewoods were partly wet.
2) The primers lost most of their food during the expedition.
I guess its their first time cooking without solid fuels or gas canister. But nevertheless, they learnt something new. =D
Times have changed. Guys camwhore as well. Or rather, BB boys do. lolol. The only difference is that we don’t pout our lips, stick out our tongues, open our eyes super duper wide and you know lah things like that. hahaha.
Christmas was very well spent - with my extended family on my mother’s side. We went to Malaysia. All my cousins really do know how to go crazy. Haha. Nevermind. Pictures on next post! =D
