let me go home...
yes! im finally home from camp. ok. i shall try not to do a summary of the camp, cos dat's probably gonna so bore everyone out.
ok. what i hated about camp. squeezing multiple lectures into one day. gosh, dat almost bored everyone to death! and the external trainers werent very good either (sad to say). i particularly do not agree with leading through fear. where has servant leadersip gone to?! what the external trainers r teaching are conflicting my lasallian values and lasallian leadership. rahh! and then there's no such thing as teaching leadership. u bring out the best in a person, u give tools for a person to lead, but u cannot teach leadership. and then the trainers said something about leading through admiration. the example they gave was how ronaldo cut his hair after he scored a brazillian world cup goal and how everyone else had the same haircut. erm... yo.. are u sure that's leadership? that's far from it man!
ok. second day was much better except for the weather. but there was something during reflections on day 3 or something that kinda disappointed me. a question was raised by one of the teachers. he/she asked whether leadership or the environment played a bigger role or sumthn along those lines. well, environment did play a big role in foiling plans on the second day, but hey, maybe things would work out better if there was a wet weather programme?
finally, day 3 was just crappy. i didnt wanna say anything so as not to dampen anyone's spirits. the trekking was a bit... dunno wad to say. we had to trek for 5 over hours around serangoon. well, i wouldnt mind the trekking, if only it had some purpose in bringing out the leadership otential in people and stuff. i just didn get what isaac lim was saying about "testing" the leaders. test what?! how they handle pressure? well, if that's all that was tested in 5 over hours, that's some real sad test. gosh, i so miss LLTC's journey with a dream. it would be such a better replacement for the trekking. and we had to walk into the sea early in the day wand then walkaround all wet and yucky. (oh yes, the seawater and soil also kinda soiled my hang ten shoes. thank God it's clean now. and thank God again, the shoe was only ten bucks.)
ok. i shant complain more. after all, the "test" on day 3 was supposed to see how much we complained and how it would cause us to crumble.
my group was great, i dun blame my group for anything. the time spent with them was hella good! but im just disappointed by how the camp was planned. iggy and moses kinda described the camp as anal. lol.
i gotta say, some teachers really need to put themselves in the position of students. (i shant go on in case i say something that might get my head severed.)
and finally i get to dance. fuyo is freakin good!!! rahh! im so gonna dance so hard i'll beat em one day!! rahh rahh rahh!!!
