over the past 3days,

i embarked on a journey which taught me a lot

i did a camp with secondary two kids

i took on 13 of them and we basically did the following:

day 1

they planned their route and set off

walked to our lunch area and had a filling lunch for $1.80

then took a bus to CBD area for the first landmark

after, we trekked from CBD to mount faber

and took the marang trail all the way past Henderson Waves

and the TreeTop walk and Alexandra Arch and Hort Park

walked to dinner place at queensway for $2.50 and then ran to catch a bus

but it ended up being the wrong one

finally got the "right" bus and ended up at joo chiat

walked from there to ecp area c

walked to area f (meant to harbour at g)

but then got ordered to return to area d

due to the lack of space, continued down to area b till we found a space

my campers slept while i stayed up to take care of their belongings and them

day 2

woke up and had bread with kaya and mac maple syrup

then walked to the bus stop to take a bus to nus

alighted and walked with now idea where we are

till we found a shuttle bus to get us to our destination

then we went to clementi for lunch

had a $2 lunch under a void deck

then trained to jurong and walked to chinese garden and got lost

after which we took bus to ngee ann and finally found our fifth landmark

with remaining transport incentives,

we went to bishan via bus and too train to serangoon

to complete a challenge that made me smile and realise there are nice kind people around

then had the most epic dinner ever

two mac burgers and bubble tea, all for $5

then walked back to school

day 3

the final debrief

where i handed out their handbooks

which i collected to read and write personal messages to

while reading, i learned some things that kinda broke my heart

but oh wells.

had them prepare for their presentation

and watched them relay what they experience over the past 2 days

in pictures and words and drawings

after that it was much or less talking and settling

then break camp

lessons learned:

1) people may displays such qualities, but deep down they think differently

2) plans fail when the planning and thought process is fucked up

3) money planning can happen epicly and surprise anyone

4) quietness doesn't mean one isn't thinking or putting in effort. probably just doesn't like to talk much

5) people you thought will help you, might in turn ruin your plans and make you feel helpless

much much more, but they need to be kept with me

and be brought into my grave

experiential and mind-blowing

my girlfriend, short stuff,

is SUPER DAO when she's sleeping

cause like at camp,

when i was freezing my butt of in the aircon room,

i tapped her shoulder to ask to share her sleeping bag

she looked at me,

turned and hugged her sleeping bag tighter

THANKS GIRLFRIEND!

heh. (:

i loved, and still do, Mr Bean

but then they ruined it with the animated series

personal opinion

comfy cotton bras and undies, denim shorts, flannels, shirts and cropped tops are all i need

change | ch ānj|

verb

1 make or become different2 [ trans. ] take or use another instead of

noun

1 the act or instance of making or becoming different

Change is the only constant.

how these words ring true

there is not one thing i can think of that doesn't change over time and space

the water levels of the pacific ocean,

the temperature of our atmosphere,

the way something is

these things all change

and it isn't just tangible things that change

intangible objects such as feelings and thought change and vary over time as well

take an opinion for example,

one might think an apple is sweet and juicy

but after having tasted a sour one

the opinion can change

(ohkay, really lame example, but still...)

my point is that change is everywhere and around us

each and every day, hour, minute and second

the quantification of change can be based on scientific measurement

or based on a feeling or judgement of a certain scale

since the dawn of mankind

and even before that,

change happened and continues to happen

till we perish and our descendants walk the earth

change caused the dinosaurs to die

and the evolution of man

change led to industrialisation

and also to the fluctuating economy

everything is constantly changing

so what do we do about it?

do we sit in a corner and sulk about the change

hating and wishing and praying for it to return to how it was

or to embrace what we can and learn to accept the current

all in all,

we are the bearers of our own fate and destiny

we decide how to deal with change

and how change will affect us on the bigger scale

ultimately, it is how we act, behave and think

that makes our entire lifetime

i shall create my own path

and i will create a better change

always surround yourself with positive energy

at night when the stars

light up my room

i sit by myself

talking to the moon

-bruno mars

talking to the moon

how can something perfect seem so imperfect after a period of time?

how can life start to look bad and sad when it used to be great?

how can one feel trapped when it used to be a release?

how can one want out when one couldn't live without before?

how can a piece that used to fit suddenly seem so wrong?

how can it all be so messed up when it was the best thing that happened?

how how how?

cheesebun and fudge
