so sian...haven gotten my kl photos from my friend yet coz he seldom come online. will get it from him tomorrow at the camp mumbo meeting. yea camp mumbo is here once again! in case you're wondering, camp mumbo is an annual children camp where ppl of our age(or a bit younger) get together to organise games, activities and a excursion on the 2nd day of the camp for kids aged 4-12 yrs old. i 1st went to this camp during sec 3 and has been going every year except for one yr when i couldnt take leave from army. the day i decide to go for this camp was one of the major turning point of my life. the camp plays a major part in moulding me into the person i am today. learnt many intangible things from the camp such as patience(you'll need that when u are dealing with kids =p), taking things in ur stride when things are not going smoothly, lightening ur responsiblity/workload by delegating suitable jobs to ur group members and not taking everything by yourself(a desirable trait of a gd leader ;p) and many many more. of coz i had a lot of crazy fun with this bunch of people. overall the camp made me a better person :) . im so fired up that the camp is coming round again but also disgruntled that im having my attachment during this period of time. that means i wont be able to go for the whole camp, esp the day before and after the actual camp where the fun are coz the kids are not around :( .
went to watch my sch in the volleyball youth cup today. i cant play coz im too old(its U-19)!! argh!~! damn it...the competition fee and team jersey is fully sponsored by the school and the jersey is even nicer than our ivp one. but mainly because i want every chance to play in a competition for the experience. too bad...just blame myself for not realising the beauty of volleyball in my younger days =p. anyway our sch lost against the defending champion. the opponent was not really that good this year la, just that we played very badly today. actually i tink its more a case of we played to our usual standard as a team. a match in which we have good teamwork is as unlikely as david beckham's name not being mentioned in the newspaper, either in the sports section or the front page screaming "beckham's new scandal!!" ok, that was a bad and rather random analogy. sorry but i couldnt help making a dig at him. i just dun understand how deficient he is in brain cells. that yellow card incident during his international cap. thats like a kid who has stolen a cookie from the cookie jar telling his mother "im not so stupid to let u know i stole a cookie coz i closed back the lid". duh. that was another random analogy again. i dunno where this will lead to if i continue..haha. back to the topic of our team. i think its a real pity coz i know we could have accomplish so much more based on the ability of our individuals. too bad we cant gel as a team...
going to sunset bay tomorrow after the meeting. hope it will curb the itch i have to play volleyball. esp after the training i had with my sch before setting off for kl. made me miss training. c'mon lets start our training for next yr ivp! towards a semi final berth! all the way :D
