9 more days; the past .

Tiring day ,
but no doubt it was one of the most fulfilling day I had ,
considering the past few weeks .
Ogl camp started on Friday ,
and time flies ,
it's going to end tomorrow at noon .
Just being there for the night made me reminisced and missed so much of council ,
but it made me learn something else too .
Think the school is really taking the 10th year as an important and significant year ,
with MMM being organized at such a place ,
and for coming out with such an awesome Orientation name .
Lots of screw ups here and there ,
but well ,
that's part and parcel of ogl camp isn't it ?
A talk with Mr Wong made me realized about how the TA works .
Council is all about screwing up ,
building bonds through that ,
and learning our way out of difficulties .
Perhaps with TAs' help ,
things might not screw that badly ,
but is that the experience that we want ?
I doubt so .
Talking with Mr Wong was heartening .
After Erika left ,
Kind of forced him to accompany me a little .
He encouraged me to go to a course I like ,
and reaffirmed that my A levels won't be bad .
Just told him I'm not afraid of it being bad ,
but it being not good enough .
Hopefully he survives well with Chief Invigilator ,
and Orientation 1st I/C with Mr Hon !
Best partners man .
So many things are wrong with today itself ,
seen some , heard some ;
but that's the norm .
I know the kids will learn and grow from it ,
and it really makes me happy seeing some of them are growing up like young adults .
Finale was fun and awesome ,
though I still kind of preferred last year's .
But nonetheless ,
we had a good time laughing our heads off with all the gags that the ogls put up ,
with the theme 'Love' but was somehow or rather ,
became "mocking Mr X Hon" .
Really enjoying ,
and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves too (:
Chatted with some of the OGLs ,
they asked me whether last year's ogl camp was as screwed as this year's ,
I just said every ogl camp is meant to screw .
Tying water bomb was fun ,
they had so little pails but everything was still done within half an hour's time .
Enthusiastic and efficient OGLs I must say ,
but perhaps they didn't know how fortunate they are ,
to be able to send their bunk I/Cs out to 7 Eleven to buy food ,
or worse still ,
order MacDonald delivery .
Remembered last year we went round distributing breads and jam in the middle of the night ,
offering some of our small packets of snacks to those who are hungry .
Didn't remember the difference in the food we had for meals too ;
Lee Wee brothers , Ananas etc .
This batch of OGLs are really a fortunate batch .
Hope they know how lucky they are and hopefully ,
can do better as a leader of the school .
Had a chat with Jean and Irene ,
and got to thank them for jolting me back to reality ;
that the baton has already been passed on .
Appreciated how truthful they were with me ,
and how they are willing to share some of their woes too .
Sometimes meanings are hard to infer ,
but one should be sensitive enough to pick it up though .
Nonetheless ,
this is a good summing up and wrap up of whatever that was still there .
Finally .
Poor Jean got to take up so much today ,
must had been a really bad experience for her .
Just hoping that the kids will have enough rest tonight and work even harder ,
for wet game finale tomorrow .
My turn to go rest too !
Need to study Econs tomorrow .
Everyone was asking me why I was still in school when I'm still having A levels .
Hahas .
Self declared last paper on Monday !
Toodles .
