( 10:04 AM )

Extracted from Kartini's blog... Kartini's reflection ...

On the 9,10,11th of December, that's when we had our Table-Tennis camp in school. There are 10 committees and total of 36 members that turned up for the camp. I can say this camp actually trying to tell us that we got to be discipline at all times as i think Table-Tennis team are lack in and of course more things that we could learn from one another and at the same time enjoy ourselves.

Day one, the committees have to be serious with all of them for the start and of course there were pupils late for the camp and punishments given. Basically, both captains Jasmine and Desmond got to tell them what are the expectations of them in the camp for three days two nights and then we had our ice-breakers like getting to know one another better and we also had our 200 seconds challenge by the teachers. Actually for day one nothing much happening, in the afternoon we start our training at about 3pm to 6pm then bathe, had our dinner and lastly Movie chose by the teachers. A great movie that is strongly recommended to all.

Day two, everyone are suppose to gather at the foyer by 7:30am sharp but however some pupils are late including the committees and so we got to do our punishment together because as mention in day one “One for All, All for One”. So we got to do half squat, push up and sit up over and over as when Jasmine ask them questions they seems like not answering. Afterwards, we move on with our morning PT by running around the school four times and some walk by themselves due to their own reasons. Honestly, during the jog i feel like wanna vomit but i control myself, it really shows me how i really slack a lot as I've not been training all this while. So after jogging we go for our breakfast and i don't wish to eat has i never eat after my jog or any other sports activities but been force to eat a bread.

After breakfast we move on with our wet activity, all committees are suppose to set up all the stations while the rest of them get their dry clothes and get back to the canteen. There's lots of delay in between as we're thinking about their safety during the activities but after all everyone had fun playing with the water that been tie up with the plastic. Most of them keep taking and throw it to everyone around and that including our teacher Ms. Chew that join us in the activities as well and then everyone go wash up get ready for lunch and training at 2pm to 6pm. After training we had our dinner and get ready for our Appreciation Night to our teachers and seniors that turn up. All of us had fun during the night and being very hyper that they dance around in the I&E studio. Then we had our night walk at about 1am to 3am then everyone goes back to sleep.

Day three woke up at 7:30am, we had our PT again and fortunately no one late and we continue with our stretching and jog around school for one round. No one was supposed to walk but Jasmine was mad as there were pupils who walked and while i turned to jog back to get two girls that were left behind as they were walking again because of their own reasons. Then it was my favorite session. It was the Tchoukball activity which we played till 12:30pm. After that, got ready for our training and our friendly match with Bukit View & AMK pri. I played match once and won but think my opponent was such a joker that he didn't play properly as he kept making mistakes. Everything ended at about 5plus. So that was all about the Camp and good job to Jasmine and the rest of the committee members. =)

Jasmine's Reflection...

Okay Okay, what I felt about this camp.. Hmms.. Actually, I didnt put too much hope in this CCA camp because it was my first time organising with some committees a 3D2N Camp which can boost everyone's bonding and everyone's discipling. I was inexperience, you know. I was afraid few people couldnt co-operate and this whole camp will fail . I couldnt care less after I was put in charge cause I knew this is my responsibility, it's my game. I think the more I expect, the more I will be disappointed. I should think this way,"The more I fail, the more experience I'll get." Everyone listened, but even though I couldnt get response many times, I still feel that you all.. get what I was trying to say. To be honest, I was very pissed off every few hours I have to give a lecture, asking questions for at least 4times and not getting a reply after even having a dry throat. I mean its not easy for me but I think it will be even more difficult for you guys if you all disobey me. I wasnt there to punish you all and make you all cry, neither was I there to make you all love me. I was there to bond you all, or rather bond WITH you all. If I had ever disappoint anyone of you, be it this camp or any other things, come up to me and talk nicely with me about it. Believe me, I'll improve myself.

Teachers, I hope I didnt disappoint you all and if I did, come to me and point my mistakes out. I will admit and change and improve and not let my mistakes continue to increase and of course, to learn new things and gain experience.

Everyone in the team has their own strenghths and weaknesses. Those cheerings, those hurrays, those screams, those fun filled times were so loud. Will it continue? Did everyone enjoys? Didnt manage to get everyone stays on the last day due to teacher feeling unwell and matches ending late... I swear I will get everyone to wrap up when sch reopens after our training. No improvements if there are no suggestions. I love this table tennis team, i love my juniors, i love my seniors and the best thing is, I love my teachers-in-charge. (:

I was craving for respect.

I was craving for everything to end when nobody responded.

I was craving for people to help me get you all to respond.

I was craving for your excitement and your enthusiasm and your 100% participation.

I was craving to give up during the camp but nobody knows.

All my cravings... do you all understand? But I survived, we survived. You all were the ones that slowly erased my cravings, helped me to get through. Please get this into your head,"Captains are not your parents/guardians, they don't feed you w whatever you all need/want. They are there only as your friend and hopefully, good role models. We make mistakes too, but we will never know unless you point it out to us."

This camp wasnt tough but it was enjoyable. I failed to make this camp a disciplined one but I hope the next cca camp organised by next cca captains will be able to achieve what I had once failed.

I learnt sth. "I will never fail what I shouldnt have failed"

-I dont wish to say,"I will TRY not to fail....." because I know TRYing never help.
