Whoo Hoo!!! This weekend has got to be the best WEEKEND EVER!!!!!!!!! Okiez...lets start off with Thursday.... Thursday marks the graduation ceremony for my course. As it is my graduation ceremony, I have tried my best to look the best for this day. I mean itz GRADUATION! The really last day of school! It started off at 9.30 sharp. It was fun. After the ceremony, all the graduating students took lots and LOTS of picture. The lecturers becomes a celebrity as people wanted to take photos with them!!! Kewl ryte?? My friends and I went to eat at FC3 for our lunch( though there was refreshments). I mean itz the last day you will be coming down to SP. All I know we had fun. Okiez, after eating our lunch, we head down to Ubi Driving Centre to register one of my good friends who wanted to learn how to drive. Speaking of which, I have yet to put in 200 bucks into my bbdc account. SO dEAD! So yeah, we head down to Marina Promenade Bowling Alley to play a game of bowling. It was super fun with all the friends cheering and make fun of you( in a jokingly manner) while you are playing. All I know, the day was fun that all of us did not want to come back on friday.
By friday morning, my friends and I are superbly tired to wake up. Fortunately, friday is known as the Slack day where all the workers turn up later than usual. Later that night, I have a camp at Masjid Assyakirin. I din know what to expect. I packed my bag like 30mins before departing for the camp. Just bring whatever thatz expected for a camp. The camp was SUPERB! Thats all I can say. I mean, I was blessed again with a gang of good team players and thus, we won the best group of the camp. The reason why it was fun was because of the activities that were planned by the committee members. The real event started on Saturday.
Saturday morning, we went trekking at Bukit Timah! It was tiring but fun. The group really bonded during this trekking. Everyone had fun including me. I would burn all the photos that was taken by the photographers for the camp. I bought the compilation cd for the camp. I was crazy enough not to bring my camera! Stupidity...I will bring cameras in my next camp! Therez a video and I think I did some stupid act that I laughed while watching it especially during the trekking at Bukit Timah. We went down backwards instead of forward. It was fun with the Fityan Assyakirin.
After trekking at Bukit Timah, we had free and easy time. Its also called the wash up time. Everyone is sweaty and surely, most of them would like to take a bath. There would be no washing up for them till late at night. After washing up, we are left with only 30mins before the next event. In order not to make the campers sleep, I suggested that we play a game of concentration. Though, only 4 of us were the enthusiastic one, we managed to catch the attention of many people. Its ok if you watch us play, just do not sleep. Hahaz, that’s what I want them to feel. I think that they would feel superbly tired if they sleep. The game really makes them wake up.
Yeah, the next event was Amazing Race. So the energy must be there and not left stagnant. My group was lucky enough to start from the roof instead of the 3rd floor. The reason for this is because we have to decide where our next station would be. Since we start from the roof, we just move down the steps. The best station for this Amazing Race would be the 3rd station that was held in the Auditorium of the mosque. The game is trying to put a ball from a bucket into the pail by using only two strings set outside the boundary of the pail. All players are not to step into the boundary. The objective of this game is about co-ordination among the team players. They have to think of a good way to lift the bucket up using the strings before co-ordination comes in. My team has done well after much encouragement from their facilitator who is me! Hahaz :P I am a faci thus I cant help but just give encouragement. They nearly give up cuz of the time constraint. Moreover, we were left with less than 30 before the ball manages to get into the bucket. It was stressful. All I could think of was say, “Don’t think of the time, guys! You can do it. The time will only stress you more. Just focus on getting the ball into the bucket!” Serious, they was super tensed, I could feel it. When I said that, they relax a bit and whoa la! They did it!
So the lesson that I learn from this game is never give up though time is limited cuz you never know when you will succeed.
After that, we had another round of rest and easy due to prayers and dinner. As the 4 of us are hyper, we decided to play another set of game. Nice! Again, there were spectators watching us. When I asked, all of them said no. I dare not force them. Just watch the fun that we have. Hahaz! I am mean! :P
After dinner is the Motivational Talk aka Motalk. It was the usual stuff about learning yourself more and recharge yourself. Anywayz, the motalk is good though I learn nothing new. Hahaz! So after the Motalk, everyone is SUPERBLY tired. That includes my team. Again, me and the other faci, Ani had to encourage them to say the cheer as there was a reward. We started the ball rolling. Yeah, as our cheer was super short yet strong, the other teams were a bit discouraged. Theirs was long and draggy. But we encouraged them so that all the teams would cheer! This is what I called a good team player! Never discourage others from doing things.
So that perked them up a bit before the next event, the twilight zone! As the wait for the twilight zone becomes longer and draggy, I decided on playing the concentration game. Now, not only the 4 of us, but at least there were 10 people playing in the team. This is of course; I guess seeing we had fun, they wanted to join in too. This is cool! And thus, only the 10 of us were awake while waiting for the twilight zone.
The twilight zone took like 2 hours to end. Thus the whole event for yesterday ended around 1am. It was super tiring that all of us couldn’t wake up on time for subuh prayers. But we had fun especially the twilight zone. Being the facilitator, we can play pranks on the campers. They were blindfolded and thus had to rely on us for the routes. We are super mean, ryte? They called me the Bidadari or ustazah as I helped them at my place. Their pranks were so bad cuz they had to crawl and touch the wall when in fact itz only a staircase corridor! Apart from that, most of the campers were hit by the camouflage that was used in the army on their faces. Mean rite!? Some of the campers scared the shit out of themselves! Haiz…I really pity them. Luckily, I wasn’t in their position. Overall, most of the campers felt that the twilight zone was the best event for the day!
The very next day which is today was superbly tired. Being a faci, ani and I had to show an enthu face for the campers. We may be tired but we can’t let them see. Once we do, they will have no mood to do anything. I was super hyper that the cameraman, Mail said, “faci hyper abis tapi campers da penat.” Hahaz. :P
So yeah, it was fun, FUN, FUN!!!!!!! The great thing is, I had fun after stress at work!
Yeah..Today…we had to do a presentation on the business proposal. My team prepared for this proposal before trekking the Bukit Timah and during the free and easy time. Most of the ideas come from them and I just added a bit based on my experience learning entrepreneurship back in SP. It was super kewl cuz my team was like the only team who thinks through everything that the judges wanted. Of course, I guided them by asking them questions on being an entrepreneur. I din give them direct answers. I let them find the answers on their own. They even came out with their own slogan! Before I release the slogan for you guys, we are selling sweets as the business proposal.
Thus the slogan is, “No one can resist the sweetness of sweets!”. Nice!
The next event after this business proposal is obstacle course. Its more like station games. The games is super nice and kewl!
Overall the weekend spend was Great!!!!!! I din regret it one bit!!!!! Lurve it!!!!!! Also I learn about how I should be grateful. When I heard how one of them had suffered so much, I should be grateful with the family that I have. We may have problems but other people may have worst problems than us. Also, we shouldn’t judge a book without looking through it first. We should accept people as who they are and not judge them. We may not know what problems they had to lead them to be that way.
So that’s all folks! Very, VERY Long one from me!!!! Till we meet again next week, Tataz!!!! :)
