Monitor's Council Camp 2006

060606 , six june 2006.

nice date =)

Just got back from MC Camp 2006... rox

Another Two years have just gone past in the twinkle of an eye; Secondary Ones then are now Secondary Threes, taking up the position of running the camp already.

Through this camp, it's really the first time for me to have a chance to see the Secondary Threes in action. It was a privilege to be given this chance to mingle and work with this new batch of upcoming EXCO, and indeed, they have proven to be very plesent people to work with. For the night we stood; cards, tidbits, and basketball/soccer before dawn, all these have proven to be the start of a strong sense of camaraderie which you all will build up during your new term in office.
With people of different personalities to complement one another, it's gonna be amazing to see you all officially put into office soon to bring council to greater heights. And very soon the stepping down of your seniors, my predecessors, the current Secondary Four batch.

This camp has brought back many wonderful memories as a student in VS. Such as joining in their activities, getting to know and mingle with the freshbloods, planning the night walks etc.
Most importantly, being able to relate to the lower secondary monitors about the tough times being a monitor.
Just before nightwalk, I had the chance of hearing out their problems faced, which reminds me of the similar old tough times while in office, and it gives me this sense of achievement of surviving through the four years. It was indeed heartwarming to share experiences and lessons learnt with these freshcomers, who are more than willing to learn.

It also proved successful at the end of the camp to see that most of the monitors have truely enjoyed the camp and have learnt valuable lessons. Especially the night walk which boosted much of their confidence (hope you guys are not afraid of walking around alone at night!) And best of all, everyone (except two) plans to run for EXCO. Really hope to see some of these lower secondary potentials into office in the next couple of years.

Ultimately, three cheers for my Secondary Threes juniors for putting this camp up. A job well done for protraying yourselves all worthy to be stepping up as EXCO. And to my Sec Fours, though I couldn't really feel your presence during camp at all (Despite the fact that you guys should be been around to observe), all the best to your forthcoming examinations.

Oh ya btw, MC Camp 2006 photos can be viewed here!

Sometimes, I wonder why time is just so cruel. It only allows a one way direction, and even worse, it is not within much control of man, and it does not give you a choice. If only someone could invent a time machine, i'll gladly shift back and stay on forever as a 15-year-old teenager. I'll gladly stay on in VS, go through such camps forever. Perhaps, Mr. Oh has gotton himself one, to be able to stay 15 years old till date.
