Well, I was part of the project, "The Greatest of these is Love".. And how wrong was I when I thought it would be the the least time consuming project!! Alamak!!! A wrong move sia!! And wow! Was I stun at the work I needed to complete in a short span of time!!
Games I/C is no easy task. Like what the bleah!
Well, honestly. I have gained much from the planning and exacution of the games!! But not so much from looking after the kids...
It was pretty new experience working with a fellow D.I guy.. It was challenging cause when I decide to use my D.I self, we tend to do things our own way... And we tend to tank or put the weight of thw whole worlds on our shoulders.. Hm.. But really thank God for Eugene!! Cause this lead-up needed the D.Is to be in charge!! Cause I was in Camp, for te lead-up and well.. Planning was pretty difficult coz there was no power socket at the camp site and I am using an Iphone!! Alamak.. So Eugene was tanking most of the the planning then.. So a big thanks to gene then..
However, just 3-4 days before the camp started!! Wholesale changes to the games sia!! Alamak!! New experience working with Hui Ling!! Wow! Never did I expect wholesale changes! Wah!! So the games finally not apprpved then we chiong planning again lah!! Wah, so at least I did not slack through the process!!
And the process of changing the games to fit a extremely difficult theme was super stress!! Wah sei!! Especially in such a short span of time!!! And not when you also got a CIP project too!! Oh mine!! It was one not fun time sia!!
Then I had my turn to stat tanking cause Eugene was pretty busy during the camp with external activities.. And wow!! I decided to tank
the preparation!! But soon Edward got me to involve the alumni and D.I people.. Oh well.. I believe the kids had fun playing the games!! Hehehe :D
Oh well, so here is my reflection on the planning process: I NEED TO LEARN NOT TO ALWAYS TANK!! GOTTA INVOLVE PEOPLE!!!!
Hm.. Now the kids part.. Ouch!! I feel so old!! Well, the kids were really hyper-active!! It been a long time since I could match that hype!! Wow!! What can I say?? But thank God my group did not have a lot of people.. So need to take care of less kidos!! :) But never did I know I would get pwn by them!! Walao!! I like get pwn in every children camp I attend or help out ah? I did not know the girls in my group will also bully me :(
Okok.. Lets give an example of what I did. Cause my name ain't really easy to remember (malay name is easier lah), I gave them a nickname to call me, which is, "Ah Seng" lah... Then the girls decided to call me "Ah Beng" -.-!! Oh come on! In what way other than the way I walk to I look like one!! -.- then they knock my head somemore! Wahsei! I want complain!! But they plYing around nia.. Sigh, AT MY EXPENSE SIA!! Oh well.. The boys like super hyper and are like wanderers!! Find one, two disappear!! I was exhausted!! But sadly, I was not really with my kids on the first day due to the preparation of the games and the second day morning, I had school :(
Wow, so the kids were really like demons in disguise. Prepared to devour you at any opportunity!! Ohno!! Hahaha.. And did I mention I hurted my waist and back in the camp!! Sigh.. Really like so old now :/ Haha!!
But like get down to the real deal. My reflection on the kids:
"Wow, looking at the kids.. How the have so much energy, of course I feel old. I feel like I have really grown. It was like a journey back into time.. Looking at me back then, then looking at the present me.. Wow, the huge change.. In character, in habits, in many things...
In the day, they are demons, but I keept thinking... And since I did not sleep at night, but watched them sleep.. I realize how much we humans want attention.. We all seek them.. The kids run around looking for them.. And though it draining, I can't fault them..
I also realize how trusting they are... Telling me about their families, their lives.. How they will believe everything you say, or most of the stuff cause usually I crap around... And how I wished I could be equally trusting. I realize that I slowly began to stop trusting people, because of the times they fail me, the times they hurted me... All those unpleasant moments, they made me start to lose trust... How we as individual need to break away from those unpalatable moments, and begin trusting.... In our God, and people...
So two things to learn... :) And the fact that I am old now :(
