I came back from JJ's Orientation camp last saturday and i thought the camp was tiring but at the same time, very enriching for me. It is because i was once a camper, then an OGL and now, a camper again. I get to see and most importantly, feel things from the position of an OGL and a camper. I get to see how these 2 core components of a camp works and intereact together, which contributed to the success of the camp.

Orientation really struck me hard. It's not all the fun and games we had. It is what i have learnt from the camp. That is the Sense Of Appreciate.

During the last day of the camp, Mr leow conducted the debreif for all of us. He then started to share with us his story about his mom blah blah. He also covered a little bit of the people working hard behind the scene and what they had gone through and also a girl who managed to get a relatively good L1R5 but could't stay in JJ because her parents didn't want her to. Why?It was because her parents know that if she is under stress, she would be fall ill. Her parents wanted to respect her decision of staying in JJ but out of kind intentions, her parents wanted her to go to poly instead just to let her daughter to be free from sufferings when she is sick under stress.
It was not until the end of the debreif when mr leow ask everyone of us some simple question. These question aren't simple in any ways because it made us think and of course, getting into the state of tearing, which i did. I recalled the incident back in 2005. I failed to appreciate that person because i always take for granted that she would always be there for me. and now, when i look back at it, i feel that i am such a lousy person.
anyway, hope my new school, new friends of class 07S17 would be a good one after the march holidays. But meanwhile, should spend some time with my friends before hectic school life starts. haha..

" When's the last time you let your parents know that they are appreciated? "

- Questions of life,

Will never forget them. Forgetting would be tantamount to forgetting sense of appreciation.
