I would say, this is the best camp I've ever participated since a councilor. I can still remember the first councilor camp that I attended-Induction camp, it was a harsh beginning. And to my own perspective, the best way to nurture a student leader, is not by strictness but the way how NACLI held their camp and learn through fun and laughter.
1st day - 3rd of JuneAlighted the train at Jurong East station with some Ahoyset-tians coming from Boonlay station. Headed to Bouna Vista and NACLI campsite. Inside NACLI, we went to Thinking terrance 2 and met Mr.Jufry. Then had our activities and Captain's ball! It was very fun! Instead of just having 2 chairs and 2 groups playing with each other, this time we had 3 chairs and 3 groups playing at the same time! Well it's quite messy at first, but we still played very well! Then at night, we had our preparations for the Youth Leader's Night that is on the following day. We disscussed until supper time, then Farah and I Sparred in the room. lol the taekwondo way. Free and easy time, we had our NACLI WAR! lols hahahas :D We went to Fatt Rui's room and had our pillow fight!
2nd day - 4th of JuneJiajun woke me up. Then wash up and went down to the learning lounge for morning assembly, since it was drizzling outside. We played some games with Crescent Girls school. Most memorable one, I guess it's the "Evolution Game". hahas^^ All of us started as an egg, then must find other people of the same and play "scissors, paper, stone". If win, we'll get to evolve into a chicken, then an eagle, then superman/women, then ultraman, then immortal. Immortal means you win. Lols.. I think this game is not bad after all. Breakfast and after that, we have our game sessions. Through all these games, we earned points which will be needed for our first project, Build a catapult! These points are needed to purchase materials needed to construct our catault. Then after lunch is our Project time. We built our catapult but due to time constraint, my group couldn't finish it in time, so it was in separate parts. Time for competition, see which group can shoot further. Aziz is the launcher. He pulled the pole down so hard that the pole broke into 2.. Guess the pole is just too weak! lols ^^ Night time and we have our Youth Leader's Night! Yeah the best event in this camp! :D We have 2 emcee, one from Crescent Girl school and Caroline! from our school. Both of them were great! Then we have our skits and dances, same goes for the Crescent Girls school. That night was very fun and enjoyable! At the end of the Youth Leader's Night, we sang " love story" to extend our lights out time. It Was marvellous! ^^ After that went back to our rooms. Something unexpected happened. Just when I was thinking to go bathe, the whole of level 3 blackout! Many of us gathered outside, some sat down to have a game. Ms vati came and solved this, finally I got my bathe! lols hehehe :D
3rd day - 5th of JuneWoke up myself this time! Then went down to parade square for morning exercise. Sang our National Enthem and school song, then proceeded for Breakfast. After that, Project 2! It's YOG, Youth Olympic Game. I'm a manager for this YOG, including Iyadh. We have 3 games - Captains ball, Poison ball, battlefield. It was very fun, being both a player and manager. Hooray! :D After lunch, we had a lesson of "Love". Not bad.. Then Jufry debriefed us for the YOG. We then played "guess the cartoon character" game. Each of us will have cartoon characters pasted on our backs. Then we have to ask other people to help us guess the cartoon character at the back. They can only say yes or no. Mine Is Daisy Duck! Took me quite a while to answer this cause it's been a long time since i watched Mickey Mouse and friends. hehhehe^^ Caroline got Donald Duck, the opposite gender of mine! :D Also, we had a little game. One will be holding on to a ball of strings. He/She have to answer the questions that Jufry wrote, then pass the ball of strings to other people. In the end, he told us that we were bonded, just like the strings that is connecting us to each and everyone. After that had a group photo-taking and BREAK CAMP! Followed some to Jurong Point and had our dinner there.
This is surely the best camp, and the best 3 days we ever spent together in a camp! I think it'll be great if our own councilor's camp can be as leisure as this, meanwhile learn alot of things. How I wish we could stay longer in NACLI..
Well nevertheless, Three cheers for NACLI! :D
