Wednesday, September 08, 2004 Aiyoh prefect camp. describe it in one word: Aiyoh is it fun: YES duh. is it tough: Duh is it painful: Duh What other ways can u describe it: Prefects bond too much till they become slightly gay. having crushes on other prefects >.<
i am. now. at the comp. too painful to move my legs. sigh. 190 squats. with the stupid counter trying to go dam fast in counting "down". what other punishment;[overview] hmm. there was ... the pushups. the sit ups. the running, abit of the cheering (most was fun. some were torture. like the one with Instructor Russell Indran), the games were quite strenious, oh. and there was the running-while-cheering-while-halfway-doing-pushups-and-squats. Sigh. just sigh. Pushups. they were ok. its the type where u hold it there and hold ... yeah. hold it. some slacked. some were giving "words of encouragement" but i think those were fake. where u just shout out "come on guys. we can do it. just a bit more". why i think its fake? coz when u go down and encourage, u just do it to the guy next to u . not to the whole group, its just trying to please your instructor when u shout it out to the whole group. Squats. Haha try doing 50 squats in the morning when the firedrill just ended. Bleah. you cant think straight, you cant do proper squats. so... you just get more and more. oh. let me tell you about the conversion rate: 2 situps = 1 pushup. 2 pushups = 1 Squat. quite nice. except that we got like 500 pushups in one PT session. sheesh. Cheering. Cheering rocked. but. i lost my voice. so it was dam painful. Painful is just an understatement. Cheering as the Core was fun. Echoing was a bit okay lah. Core rocks. especially when u do 36 cheers in a row. that was good. cheering with russell. oh. that was ... good? yeah. knocked some sense into us lah. stupid sec 1s finally knew how to cheer as ONE. Cheering sessions were around 3-5 hours long each time. with around lots of "knock it downs" coming from the prefects. haha. "fun" . for them lah. PT. pt was stupid. they have this equation. 5BX = PT. thus in 7 in the morning = RUN RUN RUN, CHEER CHEER CHEER. cannot do? then KNOCK IT DOWN LAH. On the whole. i cant blame the instructors (sec 2 and 3 prefects) for being so harsh. we
"brought our own downfall" -quote Russell Indran. Its our fault that the cheers in the first and second day were slow, uncoordinated, no initiative. But whats the point of telling the instructors that when you yourself cannot try and take initiative in cheering, have passion, try to coordinate? You keep telling the instructors. "oh we have no coordination, oh we have no initiative." BUT IF YOU KEEP TELLING AND DONT DO? WHATS THE POINT?! Reflections on this camp: its just another phase of life that we have to go through. The after effects are PAINFuL. but the longterm supposed to be good for you. i think so too. So thanks all the instructors; jin, szu szuu (haha thats what they call him) jeremy? andrew, sam cheong, uh... who else. orion, joseph, seb koh, aruthur, E Yang, Han Shen, Daryl, Jon, Samuel Eng, Adriel, Sec 4 council. Thanks for making the time to come and kill us and tekan us and "mould" us into better people. P.s hopefully after this camp i become a prefect :/

My last words: Without passion, there can be no LIFE Without Compassion, there can be no LEARNING. The Best is Yet to Be. GO AC!
-* Fellowship of the Unshamed-
I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit
Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has
been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow
down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense,
and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight
walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions,
mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or
popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised,
regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by
patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my
way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted,
or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the
presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the
pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of
mediocrity.
I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed
up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a
disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop,
preach until all know, and work until He comes.
