Amazing time with SYC!

The camp officially began on 8th December!!! There were many students from 13 various countries including 10 ASEAN nations, China, India and Kazakhstan; we all were divided into 9 groups. Around 7:30am just after breakfast, everyone gathered in the auditorium and took the bus to the sea port in order to go to a island called Paula Urban, if I am not wrong. It was not quite on the bus, all those friendly Singaporeans started standing, despite without balance, and taught everyone to sing and dance a popular song, Singapore Town! This song was ROCK!!! Everyone tried to sing along and dance on the bus… “you could take a little around Singapore town…. Because of Singapore, Singapore! The Heart are BIG and WIDE, we find, ….. ” Time we were learning interesting thing flied really fast, we soon reached the port although not all could remember the song, I believed. Taking about 15mn on ship, we finally reached our destination! WOW, what’s an amazing island!! It was totally fresh at the time… Then we were guided to do our first activity in the camping program which is Mountain Climbing. It was really new to me and many participants, I believe. Many questions came to my brain; can I climb that high? Why I have to climb? Why did such game exist? …. I started thinking, “come on, man! Nothing is impossible, rite? Actually, I don’t have to climb, but I must do it to strengthen my confidence, patience and why not try if everything is safe? ….” Fear, nervousness were my pal at that time, but I must win this, I thought! Such climbing was not easy for such an inexperienced climber like me, hmmm… I climbed only 2 steps, then I failed! However, I was determined to do the 2nd time! I reduced pressure on myself and started to climb. This 2nd time was not as tough as the 1st time! I finally reached the top, what’s a champ ( ha ha, it actually can be seen that many people could do that, yet the champ here just mean that I could win myself, I had improved comparing to the 1st one lol, that was enough ). This is just similar as X game that I used to watch, now I could do it lah… a smile existed  Lunch time coming, everyone seemed so tired with such hard game, but why everyone smiled and delighted? Help me answer this question lah… Just after lunch, we continued with many new games. Using brain, tricks, teamwork, leadership skill, the games truly taught us how to work as a team and reminded me a phrase, do NOT care much about the result, only care about the progress!!! Implying that sometimes when you try to focus too much on what the result will be, then you will NOT achieve your targets. The day didn’t end with these stuffs, at night, it was camp fire!!! Surprisingly, it was also the birthday celebrations of 3 participants. Ha ha, I should have had my birthday on that day. It was very nice to do camp fire with a big crowd from many different backgrounds. Everyone was dancing, talking to one another and making new international friends… Fortunately, we were taught to dance some funny songs… Who still remember? Show me lah… Ha ha, Ku ku ka ka… and we walk and we walk all night… It was extremely fun! What’s a great start of this camp!!! Time has never cared about people’s feeling lol, it just ran as quick as possible! Without mercy, it was time to go back! Everyone doesn’t want to stop, but we had to… Backed to RELC… Sleep…
