Camp~sys! Day 2

So, as for day 2 of the camp, I woke up around 5-ish. To my surprise, the participants were already awake! (I'm so proud!) Throughout my whole facilitating experience, never has there been a time when the participants woke themselves up. Of course, they were never allowed watches back then.

At about 7 in the morning, the participants had their exercise, warming up and stuff. Then, breakfast. Today's was a dull packet of fried noodles. The milo was good, though.

Then, back to the Aulia Hall for a plenary session: Q & A. Things were a bit bumpy, but other than that, it was ok.

10 o'clock marked the start of the next plenary session: Presidential Debate 2007/08. This was done to find out the most suitable candidates for the Prefect Board of 07/08.




Surprise! I was emcee for the day. I never had any experience emcee'ing before. :-/ You saw nothing.




Isaac and his speech.




Nickolai's turn.

After lunch, we had an event: Pirates of the Carribean. It was basically like station to station, but when you lost in a war, you had to surrender all your money to the opposing team. Of course, what is an event without a few glitches? Hehe. No pictures for this event as I was manning the LEGO buildup part of the game.

After that, back to the Aulia room for a bit, did a bit of group work (Design your own newspaper). Then, we all had to prepare for the big event: the formal dinner. Well, actually it was the participants who had to prepare, we just monitored them.

Photos of the participants preparing for the dinner:







Then, around 8 o'clock, the dinner began. Mark my word, the participants did a great job setting up Bitara Hall. The place looked like a 5-star restaurant. There was even a modified sketch of 'Cinderella'.










Our Headmistress, Pn. Maizan.




The cast of 'Cinderella'. Wait, they're all guys! @.@




Form 5 fasci's after the dinner.

Then, the dinner adjourned around 9. Then we had the group sketches. I was too sleepy to take any photos then. After the group sketches, they changed into their sports attire to have another midnight activity. This time, we blindfolded the participants except for their group leaders. The group leaders had to guide them across a distance whilst the blindfolded participants had to balance five eggs on tables. Naturally, a lot of eggs were broken.

We ended up sleeping at the basketball court after completing the task. Then, we all moved back to the dataran, where the participants were briefed on the next task: 'Kunang-Kunang Kunil'. It was some sort of treasure hunt in the darkness, non of the teams managed to solve it. They went to bed around 5 in the morning.

Regretfully for me, fatigue took over me and I somehow ended up sleeping in the dataran, in full view of the participants. =.=' Ah well, facilitators do make mistakes sometimes, don't they? Sorry, Kunil.

And thus ends day 2 if the camp.
