Once a leader - BSL
These few days have been extremely tiring. Insomnia is one thing that is seriously irritating, cause it disrupts one's ability to have quality sleep. No quality sleep --> Didn't rest well --> Grouchy day lying ahead. (and the cycle repeats itself)
Participated in the Business Synergy Leader Camp (BSL) that is specially organised for the various SLs to know each other more and bond us together. It was a 3-day-2-night camp that was held in school. Though it is 3d2n, it seemed pretty short but felt quite long. I was already exhausted when it was only halfway through the camp.
In the camp, I was allocated to a group known as Sentia - the combination of a French word 'Sentir' (which means to feel) and our Facilitator's name 'Sylvia'. I made another group of friends from the different Business courses and yea, we cheered, we joked, we played etc :)
For the first night, we had dirty games! Freaking dirty, but the dirtier the more awesome. BUT, it was...quite disgusting and...creative. Can you imagine, rolling over a mixture of soy sauce, water and even flour. Some stations even had cheese. It was like the just poured soy sauce on us as if it was water. We also had chalk/charcoal on our faces too! Super dirty!!!
Breakfast for the second day, was creative. We were given a budget of $20 to go out of school to buy food to cook in food. Guess what, we bought like Maggie Mee, sausages, crab sticks, eggs, bread and nutella!! Similar to outdoor cooking, we cooked them in mass tins, but this time, we managed to get all the food deliciously cooked. =D Then, Jason and Darren ate as if they were eating steamboat, while waiting for the water to boil again for them to cook the last few packs of noodles, they added seasoning to the water, and started cooking the crabsticks and sausages inside. So, it was like eating chicken steamboat.
Second night, Nightwalk!!! My first attempt! It was really scary at the first and sixth level. Complicated feelings I had then, nervousness, excited, fear at some stations. And I realised, many of them liked to grab my stinky shoes. Is like hello, my shoes had all the soy sauce and flour from the first night? There was also this guy who scared me from the back and that really freaked me, cause he hit me on my back and screamed at my ear. Ouch!! During the night walk, I couldn't differentiate which level and which stations I completed, I kept seeing the same station masters again and again. Then, something happened at 1 of the stations, which I can't really remember what was it, and I ended up laughing for quite some time. Thus, I was like laughing and running to the next station.
Third day was the Final Clash that takes place in the form of Wet Games. It was really, really wet. Not only there was water, there were Shampoo given to 'wash our hair' and flour mixture (i think it was flour and water) as our 'facial wash'. Totally drenched from head to toe when we went back to the LT..Cold.....
After break camp, we went over to Tampines Interchange, bought Carls Junior for dinner, joined a few others at Long John at Tampines Mall and the remaining SLs at CPF Building. Chilled over there till 12am, chit-chatted and played some games with them. Pretty laid back and relaxing. After which I decided to walk home to have a good night sleep.
S-E-N-T-I-A Sentia, Sentia all the way!
Sentia, tia ar!!!
