west spring camp was good. smooth. though not my best camp, is definitely my most relaxed camp. kids were two different extremes... i had 4 super cheeky and noisy boys and 6 super quiet girls. others were okay. these 4 boys were good in that although they were cheeky, they weren't naughty. very cooperative, actually. had fun talking to them, especially the smallest one. the first genuinely witty kid i've met in camp. if it weren't for them, camp would have been so peh.
all in all a very pleasant time. quiet but passively cooperative kids. meaning not enthusiastic and spontaneous, but willing to participate in games and they do listen to instructions. great kind of feeling. even toilet cleaning went well! was done superfast and even the soap was cooperative XD
also felt like i made more friends with trainers. and not refering to attachees either, i mean already working trainers. maybe because i was happy, i could relax and talk more... of course had alp also. fun fun fun~~~ =D
buddy with WATI, who ROCKS and made me feel like i had another MENTOR and someone watching my back (and the matrix). LOVE and hugs to buddy!! not sure what is it about her, maybe it's just personality or something, the way she makes you feel welcome, but it's really good, it makes me relax. she conducts her activities and manage time in a way that there's enough activities done to substantiate debriefing points, and yet also enough time to release the kids for breaks and conduct short debriefs. also noticed that this is the first time i've buddied with a non-guy (note i didn't say girl heehee) trainer and i think this works better. even though kai still rox :D
buddy had an attachee shaiful (?) who was really outspoken and confident for an attachee. will make good trainer one day soon. would have been alone for camp prep again if not for him, although the student leaders were there. one of them, sharmaine, was surprisingly good though she didn't look like it at first. me and wati shock dio sia, mouth all drop to floor when she demoed the five macho claps hahaha.
some cock ups during this camp also. like nature hike confidently went the wrong way at the first turn. and the second turn. obviously did not learn from previous camp about ASK IF IN DOUBT AND DON'T BULLSHIT. think wanting disgusted with me =( also picked up more aura from her and it says she doesn't like me. wondering why...
and of course... iskandar... erps. some serious miscommunication between me, alp and him. said something that really upset him and fretted over it much. approached him to kowtow and apologise, but sort of burst into tears two sentences into it. I DON'T KNOW WHY. scared him much, and ended up he was the one apologising. am not very emotionally stable at the moment i guess, though my problems are like as small as e coli bacteria beside his. talked to him some and hope i cleared things up a bit and hope they're not as screwed up as i think. isk if you're reading this please know i'm sorry and i think you're still THE ROCK and although i don't know you very well i think you're STRONGER than many people i know and though things SUCK, they don't always, so be optimistic and always find something to look forward to and take your mind off things. you rock and deserve all the love in the world :)
that sums up the camp. it makes me look forward to the next one XD
