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!!
