New Beginning

This will effectively be my last post before i embark on the journey to the wilderness in tekong. don't really know how i am feeling right now. Sad, happy, excited? None of them is really able to describe how i am feeling. Maybe its a combination of everything huh. Its really ought to be the time when i should start to think differently and to mature. Before even going in, i am already feeling the intensity growing immensely. I guess that i still have to go through all these after all.

This paragraph is dedicated to all the friends that i have met through scouts. From a 13 year-old boy that have got no particular interest in anything in the first place, and to become a person that is able to take on a certain leadership role (maybe not being able to perform it to its maximum), i feel that most of the credit should be given all the leaders that have always been so passionate and persistent in doing well. Through all these years, i believed that I have greatly benefited from all of you. Its been working with all of you. Not forgetting the friends that I have made in the short time span as a leader. Going through tough and fun times, its certainly been a pleasure knowing every single one of you. It is not always about me giving, i realized that i had actually learnt quite a lot of things from you all as well. I believed there is always a give and take in life. I am definitely not a philosopher but i just got to say this: 'Don't be afraid to weather the storms and rain in life for after which there will always be sunshine next'.

I am really grateful having met all these invaluable friends and all the help that you all have rendered no matter how small it may be. It is still kept in my heart. I want to express a big Thank you to all of you. The advice that you have given me is of great assistance and had allowed me to venture even further.

Next, this is going to sound a bit emo. Though time is certainly not helping, i would just silently pray that things are going to work out fine. Courage is what i need now and it may seem a simple thing to others but to me, it proved so difficult. I don't know where to garner the guts to let my feelings be known. All those simple gestures meant a great deal to me. I am not sure if the first approach is gonna work but i would surely remember what was said before. All those comforting words indeed warms my heart.

Last of all, I would like to extend my thanks to everyone that have helped me and i wish you all all the best in all areas of life and that it is also time for me to move on to the next phase of life.

Take care everyone!!

Moving on

hi guys, i am back with an entry.

Well, back from a physically draining annual camp but i feel that its definitely worth the effort. Right now, my mind is still fresh with the memories from the camp but i haven't got much of a clue as to where to begin. Anyway, the first highlight of the camp was the awesome structure that was built on the advance party. The designer is none other than chan loong. The final design was improvised several times before it came out as what it was.

The design required a combination of efforts from the leaders and committee members in order for it to be completed. Being part of this magnificent tower, i feel a great sense of satisfaction. In the process of building the tower, I have also managed to overcome several obstacles that i thought i would not be able to do initially. Moreover, the tower was built under the hot scorching sun just after a downpour. It was with the determination to make the camp a success in mind that allowed all of us to persist on until the completion of the tower. This tall and menacing structure not only symbolizes the effort of all of us, but it could also prove to be iconic.

Being involved in part of the patrol has also allowed me to see different sides of the campers. It is kind of heartwarming to see everyone working for one another and the passion to strive for the best regardless of success or failure.

Not forgetting the important people that made this camp possible, the camp committee. I believed that most of you are taking on main roles of a camp for the first time and have gone through ups and downs in the process. This is certainly a valuable learning point that you all could take along. Adding on to that, i would like to express my deepest thanks to you all for the special item that really came as a surprise to me. It was really nice of you all to come up with the item and thanks once again.

I guess all things got to come to an end eventually. Just a little bit of advice to everyone, ' Do everything to your fullest because there's no use looking back or wondering what you could have done'.

Best of luck to everyone!!
