Bedok View Oi
Well evryone, Iam back. Actually I came back yesterday, but i wasnt feeling too well so i couldnt blog. So what have you all been up to? hahhaha. Who the hell am i directing that question to? Well its to all "the peak" readers.... and obviously it isnt that many cos my chatter box isnt really that full of chats...get it get it...ahahahaha.
Anyway as i said earlier, yes i wasnt feeling too well and as you would have guessed it, its due to the camp i just came back from. From the 5th to the 7th of January I did a camp for Bedok View Sec. The camp was an orientation camp for all the Sec 1s who just entered the school. Now for those who are new to this whole concept, there are organizations and companies that are employed by other organizations, companies and schools to conduct camps for them. These are companies that organize and conduct these camps professionally according to the tastes and preferences of the organization that employs them. These tastes and preferences range from motivational workshops and corporate team building activities for corporate companies to orientation camps and leadership training camps for schools. So as you can see its quite wide ranging therefore requiring really meticulous planning. Now these companies( those that organize the camps) would require trainers or camp facilitators. And in a camp like the one i just did, u need trained manpower of over 20 people and many of these companies end up having to employ freelance trainers out in the labour market because they simply dont have the manpower. It is also relatively cheaper as compared to employing full time trainers. So i belong to this pool of trainers la. Hahaha, such a long story to explain all that. Anyway just wanted to explain to those who aint got a clue of what i was talking about.
Yes so i did the camp for bedok view and this time round I was working with Master reign, another company. Met some old TPJC mates there who were trainers as well. And to top it off they were chinese so in that sense, i didnt really feel left out.There isnt much to say about the camp othe than the fact that the kids were cute but definitely mischievious and playful. As you can see, i refer to them as kids instead of students cos honestly speaking these kids were really more like 12 year olds than Sec 1 students. One thing i think I have grown out off, is in my exaggerated display of emotions at the end of each camp I organize, conduct or attend. History would tell that Azuan always cries at the end of any camp, regardless of how significant or fantastic the camp was. And by crying I really mean tears flowing down like rain water coupled wit all the sobbing, red eyes and runny nose. However this time around , i didnt do that at all. Well, actually it has subsided for quite some time, only that it was today that i did not shed a single tear. Previously, it progressed from just tears without the sobbing, and then just tears and then it was just a tear or two rolling fown my cheeks.
To answer the question, why i cry, I cant really answer cos i suppose there are many reasons. I used to think that camps were really fun and the bonds created with the people close to me in groups were so great that i couldnt bear the thought of leaving them, so it was too sad and therefore that made me cry. Then there were times when i cried cos oh happiness and satisfaction when a camp i organized were well received by those who attended and the sense of satisfaction must have overwhelmed me. Then there were times when it was just sad cos of issues that happened that caused us to somehow end the greatevent on a bad note. But generally most of the time, I figured that the main reason for my sadness is in the fact that somehow camps allow you to escape reality and start afresh in an entirely new environment, new setting that allowed you to adapt and relive it all over again in the social and emotional sense. Probably I got carried away from the whole escapism and totally immersed in the temporary reality that the thought of losing the happiness and satisfaction found in the temporary reality saddened me terribly. There fore the tears.
Somehow maybe, I have learnt how to contain these emotions but more importantly looking further and realizing the temporary state of things and not get carried away.Furthermore, I am doing camps too often nowadays and i suppose iwould have gottne used to it and bioligically the crying stopped i guess.
Dont get me wrong. I am not ashamed of crying because of this. Because there might be times in the future when siuations get intense and a man as big as i do, might just be seen crying like a baby. All I am saying is that sometimes a man has to control his emotions for the benefit of everyone around. And that i must try to do, for if not it could bring bad stuff.
IF u were wondering why, the title for this post, well that was the phrase i used most of the time to get the attention of my campers. The other one was addresed to my group, which sounded "Thosai Oi", and yes their group name was thosai.
Well I am feeling sleepy after taking medicine. You see, i came back from my camp catching a flu and a bad sorethroat. Therefore I went to the doctor and I was prescribed a lot of stuff seh...well thank go it was cheap. AnywayI am feling drowsy from the piriton and the dextrometrophan that i just took, so ill just catch up later...
