DYC - close chapter

I was back from a camp not long ago. Well, I don't know if I am actually happy to be back there or if I am just doing it because I want to. I mean, yes, I would love to go back and help, and knowing that previous campers were being called to help in last camp making me feel a little bit left out. I mean, I'm having my holiday, I ain't working, so why no one remembers I am actually available. Although it's kinda hurt but I do understand the situation so I wouldn't mind actually.

So I was called to help in this year camp. Having arrange everything carefully, I agreed and here I am, once again.

And everything came back to me, again. Of course the most refreshing would be back in 2007 where I was the camp leader. 4 years had past and there's so many changes on the programme and stuff like that. But I can't complain much because for obvious reason, different people have different way of doing things and approach a situation. So I am still proud that everyone did their best to make this camp a success. I can see how well it went. Really guys, good job!

This time around, I was only a group mentor. I was a group mentor back in 2005, the first camp I officially become a committee. It was fun with 10 group members, with the classic way of the camp. But this year, I have 12 members, I am at least 6 or 7 years older than the oldest member in the group, less activities that require mentor to play along with the group. Can't expect the same thing from the past, can I?

And then, here I am, with my group - Mahakassapa, a group of awesomeness, both the good and the bad. Let's not talk about the bad stuff, just on the good positive stuff. :)

Well they are cute, nice and very very cooperative. I just regret I don't have a lot of time to spend with them, just a few during preparation time, outdoor tasks, and feedback. All were short while except for the outdoor tasks(a little bit longer) which really allow me to be with them more, I mean that's the job as mentor right? To know them and guide them.

In short, after the camp ended, I am kinda happy to be back actually, and be a part of it again. At least this is a correct decision since this could really mean my last involvement - I will be having my practical next year and the following year graduating so no more chance for me :).

And just for the record + personally, I still prefer if the outdoor tasks having a longer time, just like the very first one (called outdoor treasure hunt) because as memory serves, mine started after breakfast inside the PBHP and ended with them having lunch outside. Of course having 3-4 hours long session is a great challenge but if I manage to make it a big success, why can't you now? Because that was the time where the bonds were formed, sweet and laughter can be seen, the joy, the happiness and everything. I mean, that's what I saw 4 years ago, regardless of the position they ended up, they just arrived at end with a big smile and satisfied. Damn I miss those days. :-/

So to my group - Mahakassapa, Thanks for the Last Memory. Thanks to Ivy for being there. Thanks Bro Cheang for bringing me back. Thanks committee for everything. Hats off to you guys and until next time, adios.
