1706'11 Day 1;Came back from CLBTC not even 24hours then went for another camp call 30 Hour Famine Camp already! Meet Nicholas at Hougang Interchange, 7.30am then took bus 74 and L.JiaYan come up the bus to meet us. Fall asleep during the trip to Ngee Ann Poly. First step is to get ourself registered then get our "HUNGRY" T-Shirts! Next step, deposit our bag and that stupid Nicholas pangseh us. We had a hard time searching for the Makan Place, man! L.JiaYan went to help me buy food then I ask Amir and his friends to come over and sit with us. The fish tastes salty and the noodle is so hard. It seems uncooked but L.JiaYan still got to eat finish, HAHA! We went to Convention Centre's Hall and waited for the briefing and wait for the Opening Ceremony. Jiayan, Amir and JorYeong was so off then make me cannot high also. All of us are deployed to different groups then we got seperated after that. My Country is Lesotho and the Family name is WELE. I damn worried later all the groupmates are scary then turned out all was quite cheerful but some was quiet. I seem to be the only one making noise :/ So in my group there's someone call Keen Soon, TianPei, Samuel, Justin, Liyi, Sheng Mei, Janah and Cheena. Im not scolding people but her name is really called Cheena! My faci's name was Charmaine and she's 21 years old, if im not wrong! All of them are from JC and Polys then only Justin and me is from Secondary. Samuel was the Head which we said, Father, and Janah is the Vice Head, Mother. TianPei, KeenSoon, Cheena, Alicia, Liyi and me went for Dialogue In The Dark. We are deployed to different groups again then there's a guy next to me call Guan Wei, also from JC but he was once in NPCC but he say he damn fail :P I didnt know the game was total darkness that you cant even see your hand or even nose. It's seriously plain darkness! Im someone that's afraid of dark and I actually have to search for materials in the dark. I was scared to hell, man! The rest of the groupmates went to "work" so they can earn money to buy water, food, education, energy bar and alot alot. That's the game for today. After that, we had group sharing and reflection then "A day in a Child's Life". We read the stories of the kids and we act like them. First story, we need be shoeshine boy/girl then clean each other's shoe. Second, we were all blind folded and used something to cuff our hand. I was brought to one side and other people and we got tied together. The feeling wasnt good at all): A 15-years-old Child Sponser, Nichole Gan, came to give us a talk about why she wants to be a child spnonser and the little girl from Mongolia came to talk to us and sing for us too. 91.3FM was live at Ngee Ann to talk about Famine Camp and even Channel News Asia is talking about it. Today was a fun day and heard that we'll be going to Orchard the next day! Suppose to go through poverty but we slept in aircon room. What a joke? Hahaha! Had a good night sleep in aircon room anyway.
1806'11 Day 2;
Woke up at 6.30am then we all lie on the sleeping bag dont wanna get out! Went to wash face, brush teeth then went to Home Base first to have some briefing then went to Convention Centre again. We did Fish to Infinity at some classroom after briefing then we had to plan for fundraising for the kids then if it's a good idea, they might use it to raise fund for the kids overboard. ROMAS! (Reach Out & Make A Stand!) So we hold a bunch of posters and went to Orchard Road to ask the public members to take picture with us. We looked as if we were going for a riot! Orchard Road seems to be flooded with orange people on that day. At first, everybody was like so shy then dont dare to ask so everything push to Samuel then we start to approach the public. They thought we are going to promote some stuffs then walk away form us. At last, we managed to take lots and lots of pictures and even with a mascot of dog and a group of Europeans Students! After that, we went back to Ngee Ann Poly and had our 3rd Group Sharing and Reflection but ends up playing games. Time to go into the hall and have a closing concert! We had the Cheerleading Group from Ngee Ann, the winner of One Minute of Glory and Jack & Rai! They are so amazing and they make everybody in the hall goes high! You can see people dancing and everybody singing along together! During the count down, WELE scream and shout the loudest man! We proceed to our Home Base then we did the cheer together but was without Charmaine cause she went to take the food for us. After she come back, we did the cheer again and we video it down also! This packet of Nasi Lemak is awesomely nice and this camp is one of the best camp I've ever had and especially with all those awesome people I know in camp. Thanks for the times that you all have gave me!
This blog post is for those people that go through the famine camp with me! YOUROCKS!

1306'11 Day 1;Guanwei, Tony, Reuyfeng, Jinheng and me is gonna be there to help out the others! Motive to go for the camp is to see how much progress has my Sec 3s made so far. Cycle all the way to Serangoon Central to eat breakfast then help to buy Coffee back for the Sir to drink. After that, went to Serangoon Central again with Tony them cause they want to eat breakfast. We help to buy the lunch back for the Instructors too. Because I got bicycle, I become the coffee delivery girl for the day. First day of camp was really messy as alot of stuffs was undone by the Sec 3s. They take a long time to do their campcraft but still wasn't that good yet. Lunch time, they are like Sec 1s that doesnt seem to be familiar with the mastins and stove. Continued by tent-pitching skills, I took a group to teach them how to tie the tentage. They were easily distracted, not paying attention, no sense of urgency. They think that everything is easy so they slowly do and dont want to ask questions. I got really fed up by those thinking. MaoJie got his asthma attack then was sent to the hospital for the day. Hope he's really gonna be okay. The first day was really disappointment to me. My squadmates and me slept on the Sit Up bench for the day instead. It was so hard to fall asleep, man! I hope the second day would be alot better.
1406'11 Day 2;
Woke up in the morning, 5am plus then wash up, PT time but there's casualties and I stay behind to take care of them as my ankle hasnt really recover yet. Maojie came back for camp even though that we went to Hospital yesterday. Really touch by his enthusiasm for the camp. After breakfast, we had Rifle drills and we help to teach the juniors too. Around 2-3 hours of drills then they had lunch. It was my favourite session after lunch and it was Song Session! I join in and should be having alot of fun but the Sec 3s still dont know how to make the atmosphere to sing. The instructors joined in and made a better atmosphere but time was up then they had to go do their drills again. Whole day was having Drills; Basic, Baton then Rifle. They are like following what we've done last year. Whole day drills but we had longer hours doing drills. After washing up, I saw the some juniors seem to have problems polishing their boots so I went up to them and teach them. All of them damn scared of me that I might steal their rifle but I wont go steal infront of them, of course! Around 2am plus, all of them was sleeping then my squad went up to the ISH and steal their rifles. We went with the total of 3 rounds and stole a total of 14 rifles out of 24 rifles. We had fun stealing their rifles but this is to let them learn a lesson to safe-keep their stuffs. Imagine you lose your rifle when you're in NS. It will be more worst! We decided to sleep on the Safari Bed then it was kinda sticky but since we are lie on it, just sleep then.
1506'11 Day 3;
I woke up then put back the Safari Bed but went to the Bench and fall asleep again, OPPS! I woke up and heard they got scolded for not taking care of their rifles. The juniors was revising on their drills for the upcoming test for them later. Joshua, my other squadmate, came down to see his squad awhile. Tony and Guanwei went to NP room with Joshua to chit chat then I went there to sleep. ARGH! Was really tired that I slept till 12noon, man! They had campcraft test after drills test. I helped to conduct the test so that the others can go take a rest first. It was damn long that 1 person almos take 30mins to 1 hour. I was so bored that while they are doing the lashings, I did jumping jacks, sit up and pumpings but they were still not done when I was done. Kok Leong Sir ask me go run 2.4KM first cause after I run finish, they are still done yet. Test end, they had drills again then they had games. The first game for the whole camp, hahas! Same as last year, on the third night, we would have some great food and this year, we had Pizza and KFC for dinner! Everybody enjoyed themselves with the food. Of course, a little more fun should be added! We had song session again! This time, the atmosphere is really different! Everybody was high and we played Musical Bubbletea also. I see improvements in everybody. We gave them Batons to protect for the night. Im not going be part of the stealing for tonight. I left the work for my squadmates. Slept in ISH with my juniors tonight!
1606'11 Day 4;
I woke up and ask how many batons have they stole and they told me that they got 20batons out of 24. The other 3, the girls put inside their sleeping bag while the other one, the guy put inside his bag. The juniors move their bags to the foyer then was deployed to places to do the area cleaning. This time, they were real fast that they finish the area cleaning less than 1 hour. We had Musical Bread as there's alot of bread left then Alex won a whole pack of bread home! After that, we played Pass It On. They must pass down the message that we say and must have no mistake. The message was "2 MacMuffin, Deluxe Big Breakfast, Coffee, Tea" and alot others. I remember last year during the LMSCourse, the message from the sir was "I want 1 pack of chicken breast rice, another pack of chicken drumstick, add the livers, this pack I want add braised egg". After that, we give out the Cadet Leader T-Shirts to the juniors and debrief them. Lastly, we had alot of photos taken together! I really enjoyed this camp with my Sec 2s and Sec 3s Junior(: I really see improvement in you all; Teamwork, Better Communications, Sense of Urgency, Speak Out more than the previous times when we talk to you all, will just nod or shake your head. Though I was not feeling well with all the sprained ankle and headaches I had, after what I seen you all have done to improve yourself, I feel that it's really worth my time coming and staying over with you all. Let's make the unit a better one than before!

It's like damn early in the morning, 2am now. Currently listening to Skin and Bones by Romance on a Rocketship. Remember that day, Hector, Wayne, Davain and Eugene was singing that song together to me. I wish that Asshole was singing that song to me but well, he's in NS now. I wonder how he's doing right now; is he use to the place and everything's well? Trying my very best to let him go now. I should just treat him like a very close friend and a elder brother. Everyday walk around the house will definitely see the Jigsaw Puzzle you gave it to me, it's damn nice! Yesterday was the last day of DNT Lesson and that means today then just start of holiday to me. Yesterday went to lunch with Eugene them then they went to smoke but kena caught by HSA ._. After that, all spend money buy snacks and went to Hector's house and eat. We had Karaoke Session then Davain them damn bad that they bully Hector's brother. 13 June to 16 June going to attend CLBTC then Friday going for Famine Camp till Saturday. MY CAMP WEEK (Y) CoiSeng just message to tell me that he came back Singapore form Thailand already. I hope he didnt forget my soveniur! In the afternoon, watched Kungfu Panda I then the Master say ' Yesterday is History. Tomorrow is Mystery. Today is a Gift. ' There's nothing special about it but what's special is you. Just now was browsing across websites then saw this quote that is very special ' You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly ' Cause in this world, nobody's perfect at all.
I look so weird with my fringe clipped up but I was born this way ♥
