back from Training Camp!
I am now a 100% member of Outward Bounders !4th Committee.
=)
The camp wasnt so much of adventure but had lots of sharing and talking, done mostly by Farand and other previous 13th Com people.
First day was the worst - I stepped into ViVoCity! God. And I didn't even realize it until it was too late. (In case y'all didnt know, I made a promise to myself never to go into Vivo)
Anyway, it was to get to Sentosa, yet another I havent been to in years, unlike the typical Singaporean teen of course. I've never USED any of the beaches even when I went there before. Scary sights to see, if you know what I mean.
Oh well, went there to organize games for members of the 12th Com. It was okay. Nothing great about the place though. Was a test really, but the objectives you need not know.
Then we headed back to school. Relaxed. Then we had a cool activity. Some of you may have heard of Settlers' Cafe. Where you drink tea and play board games?
They had us test a relatively new game - Corporate Cahoots!
Its a business game
Dong Yang, Khai and Me were from China.
It was cool. Strategizing our business plans and trading resources
My group, in theory won. See. We had 4 factories and $700,000
However, $200K fell on the floor and we missed it until AFTER counting
Oh well. Was only a game.
Everyone had fun though.
Had further discussions into the night followed by MaCs meal.
Lights Off.
Nxt day.Mornin'. PT. MacRitchie Hike (IN the forest, not trails)
My group had the 'easiest' route.
Christina's group went missing for 2 hours.
They went through the WHOLE forest.
Excellent stuff.
I have 4 splinters within my leg now.
=)
Second, went back to school where we had a "conversation" at InoSpark (i think thats how its spelt) for at least 4 hours. Everything went in, stayed there, but couldnt quite be retreived immediately.
Then had outdoor cooking with "leftover" instant foods. Myojo noodles mixed with either baked beans or campbell soup is great. =P
And finally had a session with Michelle (6th Com Prez)
She had a character profiling thing, (The Fire, Earth, Air,Water one)
I never really appreciated these tests until now.
At least I can apply it to Outward Bounders
I'm Air by the way.
And lastly, today. Sharing with respects to our respective positions.
Then KFC.
Then Home.
