Back from YDC camp '08!
And i miss the camp and people already.
it has been quite a new and refreshing experience, as it was my first camp at Youth Donor Club. And i was amazed to realise that almost 95+ percent people were there cause they were blood donors. Frankly speaking, i am afraid of needles, and because of frequent giddy spells, i have not donated my blood once.
it has really been rewarding to learn more about 100% vnrbd, and the different blood donating situations in diff. countries, namely- hongkong, vietnam, pakistan, laos, thailand, phillipines, myanmar, including singapore.
and i love the foreign deligates, as they were all so enthusiastic and receptive, and very eloquent! plus they totally immersed themselves in the camp spirit, despite we were doing some ridiculous skits or songs and cheers.
kay, i shall blog about the camp in detail, least i forget in the future...
i think the camp was cool!
everyone in my group [D^3] was older; it made me feel young during the self-intro!
i shall list down my team mates, as i absolutely love everyone of them, and i miss them already!

Day 1haha, we had to meet at bedok control station. but when i reached there, i stoned, cause i didn't know the people going there are mostly older. then syida has this ring at her lip, and jolene had yet to reach, haha, i just stoned there with my bagpacks.
i could only remember harmony going on and on and on during the get-to-know-ur-grp session... then i got my hello kitty bunk, with jolene above me.
Day 2Sentosa!
and it was the games, songs, cheers and Amazing Race!
haha, our group had this ding dong cheer, and it was really good (to me), and hilarious!
there were 5 stations, and missions to complete.
sherade was pretty fun when we had to write down answers using lipstick on our body.
then there was the pass e pingpong with ur spoon in e mouth game.
and the performace station, hee! we did acapella, with harmony as the vocal, the facils loved it!'
the canoeing was fun! at the last part it was pouring rather heavily, and i had to canoe back to start point. sheng jie was in front, he canoed furiously, and i was totally wet, not from the rain, but the sea water his paddle splashed all over me, but it was fun though!
Day 3boring lecture day! we were stuck in the room for the entire day! it was so boring that people fell asleep, and there was an award at the end of the camp to the one who slept the most thruout, hahaha!!
then we had the cooking competition at night.
our group, zai as usual, served the food and drink first. we designed the food, and cutlery plates with flowers, then had harmony to sing while they dined, haha, it was so cheesy but funny as well, and guess what? we won the prize!
Day 4Trip to bloodbank, and drive!
Oh and i remembered D^3 getting up way earlier than other groups to complete our flag, amzing team spirit i've got to say, haha! zi kua!
there was bbq at night, then the campfire!
and skits, cheers, list goes on...
we forsaked bbq to practise our skit, but it was worth it though cause we had so much fun practising together... after the campfire, there was still lots of food left, so we started bbqing till 1 or 2 am...
then it was the ghoststories telling time, after we bathed at 3 am in the morning! man, the wind was chilly!
haha, a few of us decided it was too eerie, so we had this jokes telling thingie, until 5 am!
then we were dead tired and slept for 2 hours...
Day 5time to conclude the camp and for awards and certificates!
our group undoubtedly most zai (hahahaha!) won three awards, and many individual awards...
plus inside secret from grp leader, that our grp should have won more, but they had to be politically fair or sth... ( haha, i am flying already...)
the video and photos were cute!
then there were the red posters for us to sign for one another...
and lunch...
it was hard to say goodbye, really! and the foreigners were super sweet!
then i revealed to raymond (hongkong deligate) for secret sock pal, and he was so cute, saying he received every of my message, n he replied and stuffs... aww
at the bus, finally shengjie revealed he was my sock pal, which i already knew when he first picked my name; he was laughing uncontrollably lah then, and he said thank you so sincerely and stuffs, so nice...
wah, its 2.30 am already, and i am super tired from the camp, dunno what i blogging already...
But i love YDC' 08! maybe next year i'll volunteer to be a leader, heh!
i only managed to scrape 3 photos at the very end, cause many ppl went home le...
