so, it's out from camp and back into civilisation. oh, two interesting things about camps that I crystallised in my head. one, anyone realised that a good camp always seems to draw you away from civilisation and the"outside" world? and two, I somehow find it oddly amusing that as much as campers like to boast to other campers what their instructor's done for them, the instructors do it too. dont get me wrong, I do it too. but it is just so amusing. (: the night before coals was spent with the debate seniors. oddly enough, debate outing turned out to be 3 people. just as well. we ate fish and co., watched mamamia at estee's, where I had as much fun laughing at Joy's various expressions as I had at the show. casual chitchats, nothing to chiong, and what more can I say? I love my seniors, and I like conversations with estee. my going home senior. enjoy your post Os hols! coals. I hope no instructors find this, but that's too much to wish for, and I really am too much of a pig to change IP add or lock it up. so. ohwells. last night was literally, the last night. it felt sad sitting down at breakfast this morning and listening people rush each other out of the dorms. it felt sad not being scolded at mass debriefs, to hear the instructors tell us that we were their sunshines. it felt sad doing mass billybanjah, thousand legged worm, for the last time, as the very special bunch of 08 campers. to sing linger again and again, to sing you're not alone, to sing doing that thing with you, to cry and sing at the same time. we cried. it was hard not to. I think back of all the times echo spent in the student lounge, eating, screaming, arguing, practising, slacking, playing, talking, bitching. to know that alpha is only next door, to hop around, to say hello and goodbye to that ugly gorilla outside the room, sit on the animals inside the lounge. stoning at FLOS cause we were clueless, to wish for one of our instructors to come and provide lovely inspiration. so many memories. as a person. I learnt alot alot. and, on a side note, my belay team must have been under a whole lot of strain. and I must have looked like a total idiot on top of the ropes. oh, and to echo1, I never told you guys why I cried when I came down from that buoy thing right? it wasnt fear, it wasnt fatigue or anything. I never could say it, but it was tears of thanks, of being touched. that you guys were there for me, didnt give up on me. thankyou guys. really. I shall stop here before drained supplies of tears flow again. you could say I am camp sick. echo, I am packing everyone of you, into a special box of memories. I'm going to lock it up, and keep it deep in my mind, cause every single one of you mean so much to me, beyond all the conflicts, I'll keep our laughing tearing faces deep inside, cause that's how much you guys mean to me. I love you all, and thank you guys for everything that you've given me. we've grown since our first BTC. and I hope that when I say we've made our instructors proud of us, I'm not wrong. it's such a perfect night, it doesnt feel quite right that this is our last night here with you. I will remember, our camping days and friendships true. it's just goodnight and not goodbye. echo 2008, I love you guys. and I will miss you all dearly. echo power! I'm missing our run-and-frighten instructors hugs alrdy. once at the end of BTC, once at the end of COALs. fittiing, no? group hugs! sheesh! I would like to be an OAL. to give my juniors and friends the same gifts that my instructors gave me. but I know I cant. I know that I am a total idiot with outdoor activites, that I am not performing really well. I learnt my lesson well, from the pc board. I got my fingers burnt once. ought I risk it again? but a part of me, yearns so much to give back to the school, the school which has given me so much. |
