Back from being a monk for a week...=X

Haha, a week had passed very fast since I joined the camp held by Malaysian Buddhist Association Puchong Branches, my duty was as a counselor to lead a group of children aging between 7 to 12...
A lot of things had happened during the camp, although I was very tired, had to sleep at 1~2 am and wake up at 5.30, but I was very happy cus I have met many friends...

There were 10 groups total, each group consists of 10 children and 2 counselor and my partner was Carmen...

Being a counselor was not as easy as I think cus whom i had faced were those children with naive thoughts, some of them were very obedient but some of them were very disobedient and made me headache, they were hyperactive and can't sit down quietly, lol...

Well, I have to thanks to "最热心的辅导员长" (the most generous head of counselor group), Hon Lean and my partner, Carmen for guiding me to become a counselor as it was my first time for being a counselor, lol...
Besides, I wanna thanks to the whole counselor group with 19 members excluding me for lending a hand to me during these days...
By the way, the counselor group has Twins and By2 cus their faces really look alike. Now, I can differentiate Mei Xian and Hui Xian but I forgot which one is Xiao Wen and which one is Xuan Xin, so sorry to them, lols...=X

On the first day of the camp, I was very blur as I don't really know what to do as a counselor but I slowly get used to it, lol. On the first night, counselor group had a meeting after the children went to bed and slept. Before the meeting had started, i saw Carmen took 3 rolls of tissue to the meeting and i was wondering what was she going to do with 3 rolls of tissue. Everything were getting cleared when i saw Xin Yi's tears flowing down to her cheeks. Well, she had cried cus the children in her group were very naughty. After Xin Yi cries, there were more and more counselor cried as they complain the same topic too. Ironically, some group's children were very obedient and their counselors made us feel like wanna punch at them, LOL... =X
Jia Wen also cried and felt that she was a failure cus her group member said wanna go home.
I saw that Zhi Hao was very exhausted cus Hon Lean had to do his work as the head of counselor group, he had to lead his group by himself. Moreover, his group has 3 ultra-disobedient members, pity him... =X
Most of them were crying excluding me cus I had no idea on why my tears won't flow down...=.=

Ah, they cried on the second night again, i felt pity for them too but yet my tears never fell down...=.=

On the third night, Carmen was more exaggerate, she brought 8 rolls of tissue...=.=
During this meeting, we were sharing our feelings and thoughts with each other. It seems that every group's counselor felt that their group members had became more obedient since they were getting scolded by the dicipline group, lol...
I was very surprised that only a few of them had cried, Carmen had to bring back the 8 rolls of tissue in the end, ahaha... =X

On the fourth day, it's an end for the children's camp, the ending ceremony started at 7pm and there were so many parents came to the ceremony. In the end of the ceremony, some children were crying and hugging with their group's counselor before going back to home cus they felt sad to seperate with their group's counselor. I saw a member of Twins - Mei Xian cried too, but I don't know how to comfort her, lol... =X
The ceremony ended at 8.10pm, every children had already gone back to their home...


Now what?
It's time for us to "ss"(shiok sendiri) because we were going home in the next morning...
We started to cleaning and packing up the whole building before we went to play and do our own activities. About 1~2 hours later, we had finished our work and we went for our own activities. I joined Hon Lean, Li Ting, Jia Wen, Zhi Hao for story-telling and thoughts-sharing. At 1.45am, I went to bath and sleep.

In the next morning, most of them went for their karaoke period at Times Square. I never join them cus I was too tired to do so. Sik Eu brought me home at 11am and I went to sleep again until 5pm cus I was too tired.
After I had woke up I felt regret that I never join them for fun cus I was VERY BORING at home, got nothing to do... T_T


Haha, at first I felt like giving up to go on with the camp but in the end I felt that it was very fun and I've met a lot of new friends there... xD
O, they put me into counselor group in the coming camp again, don't know what will happen then... =X
Okie, good luck to all of you and see you guys in the coming camp? =X

Lack of photos in the camp... #$%^%*&$%^$#
