Kingdom Of Castle Peak

Before i start off, this post is going to be quite a long and naggy one with totally no pictures included. Well, in the first place, I'm wondering up till now who reads my blog entry and this space was just meant for me to grumble into web space without any return anyway so yeah. Guess i will start off with Prep Camp that was held last week.

I didn't have the time to come and be there at all times due to my internship. Well, nevertheless i managed to get a day off to come down and join the 3rd day activity with feed backs from everyone about the 2 other days when i wasn't around. Shall not go on and talk about the comments but i think i can at least say about which side of the problem for both days.

1st day of camp, i went down to school after work. Had dinner with several peeps and started to gather information about the first day. Problems surfaced,
OC: didn't really set the mood of the prep camp (leisure, serious, discipline, rules)
GP: was unhappy with the seniors about their comments on the game. Felt that seniors are just trying to make things difficult for them.
GL: the mood wasn't set so they kinda took advantage of it, shall not elaborate any further.. ... ....

2nd day of camp, i went down after work too but will be staying for the night since i took leave for the 3rd day.
OC: Nothing important i should comment about
GP: Tremendous improvements for the day's games and attitude (Good job i thought. . .)
GL: As usual?

3rd day of camp main activity was Amazing Race, so i decide to give the GLs a compeitive factor in hope they would be more competitive in this game for the actual camp. I managed to get Shawn, Gavin and Adrian to team up and went ahead for the race. As the game started, the teams were released one by one and we were the last to leave the pitstop with a difference of about 30 minutes from the first group. We decided to run all the way throughout the race and i was susprise to see us arriving 4th in the first station. *this means how slow the 4th group was that we could actually overtake them in just getting to the first station. To be honest, i was starting to be disappointed as we were held back to do many many stupid stuff, including TWO cheers just because we were the senior group. Even so, we did two for them and the next comment recieved was "TOO SHORT". They were really trying to test my patience already.

First thing first, the main point of the us joining was to try to complete the games as fast as possible with the hardest obstacle thrown to us, but not tasks that even you urself can achieve it yourself. I always stick to this principle that i will never get people to do something that its impossible even for myself. I would really like to continue the whole race but i think i will just keep it short and gives comment about it then.

Forfeit: Two cheers while the other group does one
Reason: You are senior
My comments: I already said in the beginning that we are campers and just trying to test the games to complete in the fastest and quickest way with the hardest levels of gameplay but not extra task given to us because we're senior team.

The next station was what pisses me off and turned me off the game entirely. The fact that we were already in 3rd place when the games was ongoing, closing real in with the first group but we were overtaken by 2 groups cause the reasons given to us was they recieve a msg saying time is running out so they let the other two groups leave with just doing one simple task that we long ago complete already. Anyway, no matter what the whole GPs were trying to explain, did they think about it when actual camp, other groups are given a faster task to complete and leave while you have to go through the entire tasks. Doesn't sound very fair to us to just cut us pass right and putting us right to the last position again.

Tasks: Pass Smint sweet mouth to mouth
Reason: -
My comments: If you know how this sweet looks like, you should know how tiny the sweet is already. Although we don't mind doing this task at all, but did the GPs think about the actual camp, whether the girls will mind doing such a thing. This task is not about openess or not already, its obviously going touch the lips. And i so confident that if i ask ALL the GPs to try, all the girls already going to start arguing with all the whatever reasons they are going to come out with. Doesn't matter to me cause they didnt think about the game, and only thought about personal pleasure.

Forfeit: 15 sec war dance in 10 second
Reason: -
My comments: The punishment itself already exceeds the timing given to think about it. Anyone with the right sense of mind will be able to know that even thinking of a cheer takes a bit of time, let alone a war dance. I was already utterly pissed off with the 2nd station and the next station just have to add on fuel to my fire. We challenged them to compete with us and show me how to complete this punishment. Although they agreed readily but no matter how long they were trying to drag the time, they only managed to squeeze out 6s of dance. Moreover the dance action was taken from one of the games which i'm so lazy to describe. At least ours was quite unique although we added abit of the ALL-BLACKS style in it.

Tasks: 2 minutes dance in 2 minutes with a given song
Reason: -
My comments: To start off, 2 minutes == 120 seconds, and i was given 120 seconds to think about it. If i calculate and space out, i have like 1 second to think of a 1 second dance move. Think about it, if i was able to come out with it, i wouldn't be studying in Singapore already eh? Worse still the song they gave was a rap, and some dull tone in the beginning. Next, we had to try to follow those break dancers footworks in that 2 minutes. Finally also had to give a cheer about DDR. Bah, totally no spirit to run the race already, we were just plainly trying to go through it and give feed back to the games.

Skipping straight to the final station, we managed to catch up with everyone and was fighting for 1st place with the rest despite, spending 20 minutes at the Merlion station drinking coffee and taking a short bite since we didn't eat since the previous night. Not only that, it also include a 30 minutes lunch break at Meriden foodcourt. Well, even as a participant i also was able to tell that all of them waited for each other which totally shows no professionalism from the GLs. I know you all are united as one but do you know the real reason why the GLs are going through the camp. We can get other people to test the games, why will we need to get the GLs to play during prep camp. No need to say since i know for sure they didn't think about it. Another thing to point out was why the GLs were given back their handphones for the games. Although i also had my phone with me, i never took it out at all and even borrowed the phone from the GPs at the station if there was a need to use a handphone. If they didn't have their phone, the meeting up would also be avoided eh?

Well, i need to sleep already, so some final comments. I wanna get things straight to everyone here, at least for me, the fact if i bother to even scold or punish you. CAN YOU JUST PUT IN THE EXTRA EFFORT TO THINK WHAT WENT WRONG AND STOP WHINING ABOUT ME PUNISHING YOU. this only shows how mature u are as a person. Unable to take criticism from people and keep having the impression as though you're really that good. Go think and reflect about it. What have you got to show or experience gained? I have at least 3 successful camps myself, even more if needed but i think 3 is more than enough. Do you even have one to talk about? whether its going to be successful or not is still a BIG ??...
