it's been long since i met up with anyone.
i had missed SJ trainings since 14 Feb.
i had not returned to school since 7 Feb.
i had not seen my teachers since 12 Jan.
i had not seen my classmates since 28 Jan.
it had been such a long period of time since i meet them all.
all the way,
i have been devoting my time to JJ.
to my process of being a JJ leader.
to my WEST ZONE LINE CAMP 1.
and, i am not regretting what i had did.
although i still miss everyone of my old darlings,
i was glad i went through WZLC.
it was a moment to remember.
a rare opportunity to treasure.
it was just a blink,
and the WZLC peeps had spent 7 days in the school.
yes.
7 days.
there were times i really wanted to go home.
and pon my whole camp.
but in the end,
i perserved.
thursday, 12 March.
RONO house camp.
yes.
it may seems stupid.
but we were just staying over in school,
cheering and getting ready for friday's sports day.
friday, 13 March.
being in the athlete group,
we had to stand under the sun and recite the athletes' oath.
then, we ran up to join our houses
and started rah rah-ing them.
screaming and uplifting the spirits of everyone was important.
most importantly, encouraging the runners to carry on running.
my darling is so wonderful.
ahahahs.
he won shotput, discus and tug-of-war.
ahahahs.
after the sports day were our WZLC prep camp.
met up at 1.30.
like a camper,
we went through all the games.
did up all the left over jobs like painting and stuff.
and it seriously made my nails extremely dirty.
saturday was the going home day.
went to yanying's house to celebrate leon and yuling's birthday.
it was fun la.
although leon's fried rice really taste like normal white rice.
met up with my darlings.
and i so miss them.
talked to may until leon barged in.
he was trying to hide away from the balloons.
and he was sooo scared that he went hiding behind the double-decker bed.
like LOLS.
played comp awhile before leaving.
slept.
sunday,
woke up at 9.
and to realisation,
i'm so going to be late.
but,
i still took my time,
messaging jayne.
both of us were on the verge to pon the camp.
but we still went.
prepared.
and got ready for our presentation.
it was a joy to see 80 of us dancing as WZLC facilitators.
we were even dancing other family's mass dance.
and it was really pleasant to see how everyone moved to the music and enjoyed themselves,
cheering one another on.
dinner was far way cool.
we had pizzas and ice-cream.
then it was rotting time.
everyone learnt family 1's why are we so pro cheer
and family 3's emo clap.
it was wonderful.
slept and got ready for the major thing.
WEST ZONE LINE CAMP.
everyone woke up with a blast of music.
and to add on,
aik song sang just to make everyone wake up.
getting ready and packed up the hall,
facilitators went out to welcome the campers with our trademark welcome cheer.
WELCOME TO LINE CAMP THIS WAY PLEASE.
i could never imagine myself screaming this sentence out.
best of all,
i was touched when the campers shared that this was something that really made them feel like home.
then, i stood up the table, screaming with my facs leading them to cheer.
but the reply was disheartening.
they were silent.
quiet.
only for a few,
who screamed with us.
to them, we are just like clowns.
it was tiring.
it was disheartening.
everyone was sad that it did not go the way we want.
but,
we stood up again,
to face the next day,
hoping they would be much better.
and they did.
facs got up and with a big smile on our face,
we greeted everyone good morning.
everyone wasnt that enthu yet.
but, we went on.
kinetic warfare was the one which made them open up.
they were joyful.
they screamed.
they shouted.
they were enthu.
they were high.
we were glad.
LINE NITE was the next event which bring them to the next extreme level.
screaming and shouting,
we performed our family dance to them.
then,
we had a song singing session.
the campers shocked us by hugging us.
and of course,
everyone teared as tomorrow brings about the separation.
last day of camp,
last day of get-together.
cleaned up the area before having E-WEB.
everyone thanked each other for that wonderful experience they had.
it was then, it dawned to us that we had brought much impact to the campers.
it was us, who inspired them and motivated them.
it was us, who made they continue the camp.
of course, the campers were also the motivation i had to smile and play through the camp.
despite the lethargic everyone had due to the lack of sleep for 7 days,
we were still smiling.
despite the losing of voice,
we were still cheering.
it was touching when everyone took photos together,
when everyone left their contact numbers,
when everyone left a note on why you had impacted them,
when thankyou messages start flowing in after they left.
it was a great feeling.
tonight we'll remember,
all the times we spent together.
the joy and laughter that we had.
