just came back from youth leadership training camp (yltc)... 5-days-4-nights camp.. so this post is going to be LONGGGG....

YLTC IS TORTUROUS, INSANELY TIRING, MADLY TEDIOUS, ULTIMATELY STRENUOUS etc etc!!!!! seriously! it is THE most tough camp i've ever been to.. it's really a TRAINING camp...
on the 1st day... we had to TREK 25KM WITH OUR SUPER HEAVY BACKPACK! we had to bring a lot of things for the camp... cause none is provided so our backpacks were SUPER heavy.. and we had to trek from nj to the camp site at serimbun (lim chu kang)... crazy... really... then when we reached our legs are like sore and tensed up.. pain as well.. but had to carry on to go for belay school and pitch up the tents...
2nd day... started with physical training... 10 counts of 8 jumping-jacks that are sychronised if not re-do.. then another 10 counts of 8 but this time we weren't allowed to count it out.. then 100 counts of 8 jumping-jacks again.. all in all i think we did roughly about 200 counts of 8 jumping-jacks.. another killer.. had to struggle through... after that a whole day of elements... to me they were fun.. some of them rather challenging.. cause there's individual and pair elements... sadly i didnt manage to try all cause we were short of time T.T
3rd day had to wake up early to pack up and unpitch the tents.. then we set off (fortunately on bus) to malaysia... our next camp site tanjong piai... another fortunate thing is we have dorms this time so no need to sleep outdoor.. BUT! there's only 5 cubicles in the toilet for 40 of us =.= LONG QUEUE.. we started with some team activities that require coordination and communication... then we did tree climbing.. haha very fun but a bit difficult cause really need alot of strength to hold onto the tree... then we got to drink and eat coconut that was freshly cut from the tree.. then we had a night walk.. one 2.5km individual walk and another 2.5km team walk.. REALLY LONG.. only a bit scary at first.. but after some time it was ok because we start seeing the camp trainers either walking pass us (cause they had to petrol) or stationed at positions (to ensure safety)... then slightly more than half way can start to see other group's people walking in opposite direction so we pass by each other.. the only thing about the walk is cause there's no torchlight and we were walking on rocky pathway... i kept tripping.. team walk was easy...
4th day we had to do physical training again.. MORE jumping-jacks... sianz.. then a whole day of DIRTY activities.. started with team challenge.. had to combine with our buddy group to complete obstacle race.. we had to stay connected (in any way) and walk on protruding tyres, then crawled on muddy soil and not touch the net above us and balance through the zig-zag beam... next we had to carry people across the tyre without touching it.. then monkey-bar and lastly climb over a vertical wall.... after that we proceed on to the next activity.. and that is to waddle across a swamp first (water level up to shoulders).. difficult to walk cause the legs keep sinking into the mud... then had to balance across a pipe which all but one failed... and lastly cross floating tyres... and oh! we also did jetty jumping.. ON A VERY WRONG WEATHER.. it's just after the rain so it's SUPER SUPER SUPER cold at the jetty.. even when we sit at the pavilion all of us were feeling so cold that we started to tremble.. and i can feel my teeth knocking into each other as well.. when we jump into the sea it's alright cause seawater quite warm.. but when we come up again... IT WAS FREEZING!!! at night we had campfire..... my first time.. so fun... everyone was there.. trainers, teachers and us... then the ever so funny and energetic trainers brought up the spirits.. and the groups had to take turns to perform something that brings out one of our school values...
5th day.. WE WERE TRICKED! cause we were told the previous night that we only need to wake up for breakfast at 7am.. everyone was so happy.. but on this last day 4am the overall ic barge into the dorm and woke us up and shouted: "it's 4am now! everybody wake up and assemble immediately at the entrance courtyard by 4.10am!" ZZZZ.. we only manage to go to bed at around 1am (by the way everyday we sleep only at around 12 midnight and have to wake up at 3/4/5am).. then we had to rush out.. and cause some of us were late.. we had to get down on push up position on the rocky road... super pain... then had to stand up and go down several times cause we didnt manage to assemble in two rows in our respective groups.. then have to do push ups too.. zzz... next is the team challenge... 5km jog... early in the morning when the sky is still dark.. zzz... anyway.. we had to retrive our flags and at halfway journey we were given a task.. the teacher picked one of our member to be the 'casualty'.. meaning we had to carry the 'casualty' back.. unfortunately we got an evil teacher that chose one of the fittest guys as the 'casualty'.. and we're only left with 4 other guys to help the carrying.. the rest all girls.. although we came abck last but we were still glad that we persevered and completed the challenge... after that we finally have some enjoyment.. and that is.. PAINTBALL!!! YAY!!! haha all of us get to combat 2 rounds... its fun... but SUPER pain when hit.. now i have a swollen bruise on my right wrist and another big one on my right thigh.. pain... that's the last thing we did and we packed and came back....

throughout this camp.. i'm very happy that i have these people in my group... bryan, khairul, jinghan, junhong, jerrell, emily, fiona, yinlan, weiqi, victoria and vanessa (though she left first due to her injury)... they are a great bunch of people... supportive and encouraging.. all of us worked better and better each day... we all take turns to lead too... also very thankful to them for bringing all the utensils, meal bags and mess tins for our meals... and also doing the washing up..every meal some of us will initiate to do somethings.. may be taking food.. may be washing up.. may be clearing the rubbish.. loads... they were also an energetic group... singing all the time.. haha.. and cracking lame and non-sensical jokes... real thanks to GROUP 8: HONEYS for the time together.. it'll be great memory...

also very thankful to the trainers that were with us throughout.. firstly MUST thank our own trainer hadi for being such a great trainer.. joining us in the fun and also the tough times.. always giving us useful advice.. supporting and encouraging us.. so THANKS HADI! next i'm also thankful to the other trainers that also came to our group every now and then to check on us as well as chat with us... and also for all the mass sessions we had.. i really likes trainers reo and ismal (dont know if i spelled correctly)... THEY WERE SUPER FUNNY!!!! i dont know how to say but they are really funny.. and i liked ismal's smile too... so bright and cute.. haha...

so that's about all for yltc.. and wow! its REALLY LOOONNNGGG... haha

just finished my part of the written report and sent to out for compiling... zzz... so tired... project work is really killing me (my group mates as well)... haiz.. anyway.. today's my 3rd day at work in british club... seriously now then i truly experience the busyness of working... not that my previous jobs too slack.. just that they only had certain peak hours.. the rest or most of the time not much work.. so just sit there staring into space.. which is not good because i will fall asleep... zzz... anyway... for these 3 days that i worked at british club... i am occupied from the moment i step into the office (by the way i am working as part time receptionist and admin) until the moment i step out of the office.. LITERALLY... super busy... just work and work and work and work... but i liked it just that after work very tiring... Z.Z now very sleepy...
