COR '07: Learn Without Boundaries, Give Without Condition

back from COR '07 yesterday.. still haven unpack yet.. *darn* got a lot of clothes to wash.. how i wish i'm back home now.. then my mom will wash for me.. hahah..

Learn Without Boundaries
a few new experiences this year.. got memorable one got not so good one..
1. journey by train is not easy.. avoid the seats near the cabin doors.
2. sleeping in cave was okay lah.. beware of jutting rocks.. alot of ppl snores in their sleep..
3. crawling in caves was not easy.. luckily, i'm slim enuf to go through.. haha.. nature is amazing.. natural rocks can form shape of ostrich, frog, dicipline teacher, merlion, prata, guy and gal on chair, eagle, monalisa..
4. tried abseiling, rock climbing and flying fox in secondary school before, but still enjoyable..
5. first time do river crossing.. fun!!! no much chance to do tat..
6. canopy walk, it confirmed my phobia, scared of height!!

Give Without Condition
not only towards the beneficiaries, but also towards the most-taken-for-granted-ppl, aka your friends.. i had learn more about my RSPHI friends!! can confirm one thing also.. they r a bunch of nice and fun loving ppl!! wohoo~~ more bonded?? hahha.. *damn gay lah*

the whole trip was fulfilling.. i think it was better than last year COR.. mainly due to i'm more involved this year though i'm just a subcomm/normal volunteer compared to last year where i'm the main commer/chief interpreter..

i think my signing improved a lot since last year COR.. can terp better.. but cannot complacent.. must work harder.. i'm aspired to be a fully certified interpreter!! wohoo~~

though this year COR was fun, there were certain things tat i dont really like about it.. sorry in advance to the COR comm ppl.. i think the cross-dressing pageant and the tao-pok session is not really suitable.. before i start commenting, i must give credit, both the pageant and the tao-pok was indeed fun.. i enjoyed it.. but then i cannot see the benefits of these 2 programmes.. the cross-dressing provide good laugh and sheer fun, but i think it is not very nice to have since we have children and beneficiaries.. i dont think it is a good example.. the tao-pok session was fun too, but i find it a bit violent.. also not good to do tat in front of children and beneficiaries..

there were things tat happen tat made me very angry too.. fuming.. but i'm okay now, just tat my impression on tat person not tat good anymore, well, not tat it was very good to start with.. hahah..

then again, i must comment on WS!! he is darn responsible throughout the camp.. if you're going to find someone tat is most concerned about the beneficiaries' welfare, tat will be WS.. i think he was worried about the beneficiaries all the time.. i can see tat sometimes the other main commer also neglect the beneficiaries.. WS won the most-responsible-main-commer award given out by the Edmund's Annual Award for the Volunteers.. sorry to TL, MT, YX, Des, Pat, i'm not saying tat you guys not good, just tat WS was better or at least i cant see you guys in action.. hahah.. try again next time yeah..

i also realise tat i really really like social work alot.. maybe i can give up my ambition of being a teacher and be a social worker instead.. hahahha..

will be back to update on other stuff next time.. chiao.. =P
