Third Post of the June Holidays

This week can be considered a happy and a sad week for me. The reason is simple. It is simply because I had my worst cry in this week as well as the best day in this week. I had my councilor camp this week. It was a three days two nights camp. It lasted from 11 June to 13 June 2007.

It was a fun experience at the councilor camp. There were lots of fascinating games organised by the seniors. It is also the time that I realized that the secondary four seniors are stepping down due to the preparation for their major examinations. In the camp, I learnt lots of new games that I had never played before. During the first night, we went for a night hike at Changi Beach. Some of our group members had to be blindfolded and we took turns to be blindfolded. The other group members had to lead the blindfolded people and this led to the trust we should have in our friends. It is actually team bonding.

On the second day, we went on a heritage tour where we found out about the historical places in Singapore. It was the time I found out how unique Singapore is. I remembered the time when a foreigner asked me what Singapore was known for. I simply replied that I did not know. This experience have made me realized that I have been wrong all the while. I had lots of fun walking and visiting many places in Singapore.

In the night, due to the rain, we could not have our campfire. Instead, a night walk in our school replaced it. It was not scary at all as I had already prepared myself for the walk. We were being blindfolded and we had to hold on the string and walk on our own. Many people around me disturbed me. However, I remained strong except for some incidents I thought that made me cried. Everyone thought that I was afraid. I explained my troubles to Mr Paul and these troubles had already followed me since the first day I entered this school.

Later, Mr Tan spoke to me for about one hour and he advised me not to torture myself because of other people and it was not worth it at all. Thank you Mr Paul and Mr Tan! However, these troubles were my personal troubles and have not been let go at anyone. I hope that you will not disclose my personal troubles to anyone. I am really grateful to them for supporting me when I was down. It was my worst cry that night.
