her grandma lives in illinios, viola.
their town is celebrating 150 years old. and i am so lucky to be able to see it when i am in america for the first time. well, went with bubbles and lucia.. we really had an enjoyable break.

her family are so warm and they welcome u. u shld see the way they decorate it and design it.. it is always so homely! well.. i choose to sleep the couch~ 'cos i just love it.. it's like u got a lot of things surrounding u when u sleep.. so comfy~ we catch their town's fireworks! its 30 mins long! hahaha.. and i got to see apple tree~ hahaha.. when i say never see before..

2nd last week - - Challenge Quest

this is my 2nd last group and tmr.. my last group is coming.. and that means camp is going to be over.. time sure flies.. i still remember the time when i first arrive and was thinking when will camp be over and in an twinkling of an eye.. it's time for me to go..

well.. still got one more week so shall not talk about leaving..
got this group.. and i am the only counselor. this is wad i would like to try.. but i am really scare when i got to know i was the only counselor with only 8 kids. and they are not small kids. they are like teenagers. i was really worried that they dun dig me.. and it is a 5 night program.. if they dun dig me.. it will mean hell.. last sunday i was feeling jittery and scare.. but it all went well.. and we had fun!

well.. they are big girls and they are here for lots of ropes course challenge.. they taught me one thing.. teamwork is really important.. they dun have teamwork.. that's why they are a disaster.. maybe i am a person with high expectation on certain things.. that's why.. i feel that they are not doing a good job.. they are always arguing.. until i is fed up.. the group is fed up.. but hai~ we got tru.. and clover was actually quite impress with them even tho they are always fighting.. i think they just need a helping hand on two to help them to get around.. but really.. u see the way they work.. i think i can vomit blood.. hahaha

it makes me think back on emerge.. the synergy we had.. i dunno.. it's a big project.. and we are able to work so well together.. i am actually quite impressed with wad we had produce.. maybe its because we are all working towards a common goal.. and everybody respect one another and things like that.. so the fruits we got is always sweet. no matter the result.. its the process that count.. but for my group.. they cant pin hopes on their process cos it was painful all i can say.. they shall pin hopes on their fruit.. i am being bad.. i know i should like teach them to work together.. but its not like i din.. "when they are good, they can be very very very good.." and when i tot i taught them wad is teacmwork.. someone.. will come up with stupid things and argue.. and that tiny happiness in me crash.. so therefore i give up on them.. and i began my role as someone to keep on reminding them not to fight.. rather than to teach them why it is not good to fight..

i is bad teacher.. woah.. not easy to have a group yrself.. tho its fun to plan all the things in the way u like and stuff.. i plan a jungle breakfast for them.. hide all their breakfast.. and gives them clues.. suppose to eat it in jungle.. but i decide to be a kind soul to let them eat in dining hall.. den i plan some games for them.. had crtificate given out.. complete 2 badges for juniors and 1 badge for cadettes. quite satisfied.. had 2 cookouts. the dinner one need to start a fire.. and i was so scare about it.. but guess wad.. i make my own fire.. out of like 20 matches.. i is so happy.. u should see the happiness in me.. after so many times of failure! (in the past)

hahaha.. yeah.. that should be all ba.. the kids tell me that they hate hearing me say:"It's ok!" and "Come on!".. please.. they are really slow and they need reassurance.. when i say it's ok.. i really mean that it will be solve.. but they think that no matter wad it's not ok! peng! hahaha..

well.. bringing kids to the med is like a routine to me.. the kids like got a lot of problems. u should see the med they eat..
den whiskers(the nurse) says i am disgustingly healthy.. hahaha.. cos i dun need meds or anything.. i think bubbles too.. its like.. er.. i think its a good thing.. but they feel that we are super healthy.. but i do a little thinking abt it.. actually ... they dunno the other half of me.. i got super big migranes.. and i dun eat pills.. and i dun see doc.. and my health will deterioate after i overwork for so long and i finally got to relax.. my system broke down and den i got real sick.. it seldom happens.. it depends on when i decide to let my body fully relax.. (hmm.. dunno u all understand not..) but it's ok! well.. i was thinking.. since my body works like that.. will it one day crash on me.. and that's the end of me? i think it will happen.. 'cos i tink i am not a healthy person.. yep.. and so it send chills to me.. will i die young? i haben see the world!
*oh yeah.. i wanna announce to peeps who still dunno abt my elbows.. i am double jointed.. its like broken elbow.. hahaha*

crazy week..

okie.. this is about my past week..
it's been crazy but i think it is enriching..
i got a group of 24 girls fdor the beginning of the week.
It's call "Girls just wanna have fun!"
24 girls is nothing at the beginning. 'cos the first time i had 24 girls with 3 counselors.
And we all made it tru.
But this time there is 24 girls with 4 counselors and 2 CITS (counselors in training to help out for 2 days). And i tell u it is shit!

Nah.. it isnt so bad. It's just that when the girls came, the weather is super duper hot. About 110 ferenheit to 120 ferenheit. dunno got get higher not.. but it is really hot.. and we must keep reminding the girls to drink lots of water so as not to get heat stroke or faint or wadever sort. And we counselors had to do the same. Drink. I finally realise after so many years of migraines.. how i got them. i always tot my head got a big tumor(hahaha) and it will get real pain when it just dun feel right in the correct environment. But then i realise is that i cant stand hot weather and i dun drink enough. No wonder my mother keep asking me to drink water when i got headache and ask me to do these and that. hahaha.. so now here's the reason liao.. i am enlightened. But u know wad. i drank 2 and half nalgene bottles of water and it still does'nt help. it's too hot that my headache dun go. But it's not my killer migranie so i was still ok! heng ah! and yar.. so i got this group.. so cute! hahaha... got brownies and juniors.

And we got the best unit to stay and the furthest one too.. so u see.. everyday.. we have to keep the girls to drink lots of water and den we have to remind them to bring wadever they need they need before we leave the unit if not we have to bring the girls back and stuff like that which will waste time. We have to maintain the ratio of girls each counselors had. we cannot like have 12 girls with a counselors. each must have 1o. so if u have a big group. and one counselor went for break. You have a nice ratio and den a girl come up to u and say:"i forgot this.." And wad will u do? u will stress. u have to think of a solution to bring the girl with a buddy back and den also maintain the ratio.. tough job. Especially this week. Girls keep saying i forgot this and telling us they got headache. I got like 5 over complains about headaches and stomachaches. You know sometimes the girl make up stories to say they are sick and so they can go home(homesickness) but with the heat at camp. You really dunno whether to believe or not and bring them to the nurse. Tough decision and not forgetting the ratio thingy. This week i got like 10 hoesickness. serious case cry all day long. it's not just one.. it's alot. some will just cry for no reason 'cos they want the attention. Some cry 'cos they feel sick.. and i also feel like crying 'cos i really have no hands to help me. Everybody is tired. For this program, all counselors(Tigger, me, Nuts and Summer) did not have time off. The only time off is during swimming.. and sometimes during swimming some homesick girls want somebody to be with them and stuff(to make them feel that camp is not so bad after all). So after a quick shower u have to go back to them. Tell them stories and also play with them or just sit by them or swim with them. u know these sort of things.
At night.. this is terrifying.. hahaha.. not so much lar.. but they get real homesick at night and we need to do wadever we can to make them sleep. It's late nights for all counselors. and yar.. fun.. one night.. got kids come in at 4 and tell me they wet their bed. and another night.. there's storm.. sleep in bathroom. etc etc..
but the girls are real cute.. it's just that.. it's too drained for everybody.

I got a triplet. They are not my problem. just fun and noisy.. and it is them i learnt alot of stuff... They are going to Cricket's program at the end of the program and Cricket says they are the biggest problem to her 'cos they cant make them keep quiet.. and to me.. the three of them are ok. Just noisy and fun! hahaha.. so u should know how problematic the girls we have lah.. and we have to send one girl home.. 'cos she cry too hard.

oh and for this program. we have a princess day! haiwaiian night and we complete sprots badge for them.

this week i learnt .... from the kids:
-to love each other
-to defend for each other
-to care for each other
-kids are kids (you cant change them)
-single mother is not an easy job.
-a smile is important
and etc etc..

thank you kids..

well then i got to do another program.. its the same program that i do before" girl power get away" u know the make up stuff. yar.. this was not a tiring group 'cos they are better. but they are so quiet that make me abit er.. dunno wad to do. hahaha.. but on friday when they leave.. i see the fun they had.. i feel relieve. i hope they really had a good time.

yeah.. the week is over and i got to go to the movie theatre and catch a movie..

Simplicity..

this week..
i learn alot of things..
and one thing that i think i learn is that simplicity is the most beautiful word ever..
Went to the cinema with the staff and watch the devil wear pradas.
tell you, the movie make me reaffirm my stand on simplicity..

Provided by dictionary.com..

well.. simple is just smth not glamorious and stuff.. but this week, the word simple is so beautiful to me. :)

A simple hug, a simple "I Love You. Genie", a simple smile, a simple hello, a simple letter, a simple song, a simple action, a simple care and etc etc.. make someone's simple day not so simple..

Isn't that a beautiful word.
I learnt this word from the movie too..
the world is too complicated.
i would yearn for the word simple.
or mayb i am just not cut out for the complexity that we have here in the world.
It's great to be of someone high in status but ususally they lack the word simple in their life and in the end they are miserable in some way or another.

also.. dun live up to people's expectation. Live up to your own expectations.

Ever After..

Will you change for the person u love?
Will your likes change for the person you love?
Do you understand each other well enough to know wad they are thinking about.
Well, they did.

And they did LIVED happily ever after.

i tink she is too homesick..
and this was not an easy decision..
It is not easy to be away from home..
it is not easy..
especially when u are in an environment u are familiar with..
even americans who live in camp are homesick sometimes..

kids ask me..
"you won't get homesick as much as we do! You dunno how much we miss our mum" (2 nights program.. cry like shit when they are in camp at night!)
Kiddo...
well, of course WE the super mighty 天不怕地不怕 counsellor are always the strongest person in camp.. we are not homesick, we are not scare of dark, bugs etc etc.. We are just super man..

One kiddo tell moi:
"You can at least call home. but i cant!"
Come on.. u are going to see yr mum like wad? er.. 48 hours? or maybe one or 2 days..
And u are like homesick.. OK! me bad.. i foegot they are still young..
But i decide to be a meanie and tell them straight in the face~
"I cant call home"
you should see their face..
fwah..
but that's the truth..
i cant call home..
i call home will kena box by my mum..
it will be like wee hours in the morning if i call.. since.. er.. i only get to have break around in the afternoon..and even if i have free time.. i dunno who should i call..

Friends are nothing till they *sing* together

they must *sing* together they must sing..

den u repeat the song over and over again. with different things that i **

Friends are nothing till they part with teardrops in their eyes
they must go their seperate ways
and they hope to meet again someday..

sweet!

hahaha..


Freedom land
I'm on my way
To the freedom land(X3)

Chorus:
I'm on my way; thank god I'm on my way

I'll ask my friend
To come and go with me(X3)

Chorus

If she won't go
Then I'll go alone (X3)

Chorus

we're on our way
And we cant't turn back (X3)

Chorus

Dream
Chorus:
May all of your dreams bloom like daisies in the sun
May you always have stars in your eyes
May you not stop running, not until the race is won
And may you always have blue skies

A dream is something you can make to keep within your heart
To build on when you're glad or when your worlds been torn apart
A dream is something all your own that no one else can steal
A dream is something you can make come real

Chorus

You can share a laugh with any stranger you may meet
You can share your money with a begger on the street
But you can only share a dream when love has set it free
Please won't you share your dream with me?

Chorus

讨厌..

i am sick of myself..
for being er.. change.. for trying to be 坚强 but in actual fact i am not..
for being someone that i wan to be and i am not..
for doing my 假面的微笑 when i seriously dun feel like doing it.

but somehow..
that is me..
but i think it keeps me going..

tired?
very..
but that's me.

call me..

i'm super black..
i'm fat..
call me fatty black pig..

Wad i have learn..

Did this post in Chicago.. decide to do my blog entry there. The time is er.. 12 plus? Newae.. its like I have been in the states for like 1 mth and I am dying to go home. I still got one more month.. I must endure..

Tat says that I have up level.. I wonder whether this is true.. I wanted to come and learn new things and had a change in my life.. but then I realize.. life in here is almost the same.. we do almost the same thing over and over again. I think the thing I look forward to is the meals. Mayb u may say that I 贪吃 which is partly of the reason but another reason would be that when u r going for meals.. it means that yr day is coming to an end and days are passing.. hai~ sometimes I really wonder wad I have learnt from this.. as in learnt something that really impact me.. is not like this whole trip is so useless to me.. the experience of coming here really counts a lot.

Well.. I hope that I had actually learnt something without me knowing.. and I am using it day by day in my everyday’s life in camp. But I do admire the people I met in camp.. some of them are younger than me while some of them are about the same age as me but the dedication they had for the girls is something that really amazed moi. One that really made me vv 敬佩 would be this guy call slim. He is one of the 5 guys in the camp ba.. hahaha.. he is about my age(maybe abit older). He is the maintenance boi that the camp hire. He dun live in camp but he drives up to camp every morning and wad he do is to repair the stuff in camp. Wadever things that need to be repair, refilled or removed, just tell him.. Basically he do the dirty job. He works only for the summer.. heard that he got a good degree or something or is pursuing something in the uni.. Well, come to think of it.. a lot of the Americans who works in the camp had just a goal and that is to make the camp to be fun and safe for the girls that is coming for the camp.. just a simple wish and they slog their whole summer. The pay is meager but they are contented..

Look back in Singapore.. how many of us are willing to do that? I’m not saying there are none. There is definitely some people out there working towards their goals and stuff but many of us are just blinded by the word money in Singapore.. If the pay is meager, the job is rejected, if the pay is high, everybody wants to do it.. I am one of these blind mice when I was working.. I wanted to earn more money so that I will have more money to spend and I spend my most precious holidays working and get nothing learnt from wad I had planned..

My biggest regret is that I never pick up driving.. and I regret even more when I was in camp.. everybody was driving.. its like.. a skill which is impt and I never pick up.. so now.. I have to think of a time where I can go and learn my driving.. and I also did not pick up some skills that my dad wans me to pick up.. speaking of that I haben collect my accounting cert.. think lost in cambridge liao lar.. never mind.. go back Singapore than think about that.. hmm.. yarloh.. but den I had my fun and i had learnt new things in Borders too.

Okie.. so wad have I learnt? Well, I think I am able to look at a situation in so many different aspects and implement the best ways. I learnt this from the counselors in here and sometimes also from the kids. A very boring thing can become actually a very fun thing if u use a different aspect to look at it and implement it.. dun forget creativity do plays a part.. budden again.. well.. this is something I learnt to keep myself going.. I am still learning.. hahaha.. hope I can master it! Wad else.. erm.. I am not so scare of bugs liao.. they are beginning to irritate me more that I am so afraid of them.. but I am still scare of it! Hahaha..

Woo.. I realize.. I begin to like solitary more and more.. I dunno why.. hahaha.. last time, I like a bus ride that is 30min and of course with my FM on.. listening to the radio and looking out of the window.. now.. I think 30 min is so damn short now.. today a 5 hour ride from iowa to chicago is really great.. tho I keep falling asleep.. but I manage to stay up and enjoy the country view and finish my whole disc of songs. And I like that solitary very much.. hahaha.. (maybe is because of the peacefulness of the country and the songs that I am listening too..)

Oh yeah.. something I learn. If an American or someone from the Europe tells u he/she dun care. Do not be offended or feel that u had offended someone by mistake..

Moi: “you wan to walk or take bus.”

Someone: “I dun care.”

Mayb u all will know wad they means.. but to me.. I tot I had offended someone one way or another but in actual fact.. their “I dun care” actually means.. they are fine with anything.. they dun care wad choices we have for them. Hahaha.. cool har..

And hor.. stupid moi.. tot Chicago is actually state.. it is not.. it is actually a place in illinios. Hahahah.. yeap..

Oh yea.. I going to buy tons and tons of food back to Singapore.. those that u cant find.. and I got a diet plan liao.. I not going to eat alot when I am back in camp after my Chicago trip.. I am super vertically challenged! i decide not to eat! Hahaha..

Lastly.. I realize that.. I am so freaking scare of the dark when I am alone.. hahaha. And I am not good in direction if I am in the dark.. tho I walk the same path for like 10 thousand time.. In Singapore, however, if I went to the place once, I can roughly go to that place myself liao.. woo.. it is so different here. Maybe in Singapore there is many landmarks for me to remember.. in the woods.. all the trees are the same. Hahaha.. and when u in the dark, worst! U dunno whether u had past the trail leading to another place or not.. hee..

That’s all folks.. will update u more..

a camper left her lunch in her backpack. and it is in the tent..
and they left for their activities..
when they are back.. their tent is unzipped, everything is in a mess and the backpack is unzipped and so is the camper's lunch..
how clever can an animal be... i am amazed..

next, the dustbin that we throw food in the unit house is locked everynight..
but somehow.. blondie says she forgot to close the door properly..
next morning.. the locked dustbin is unlocked.. the bin is knocked down..
the floor is messy..
think this is one of the crime that the raccoon had done..
wow.. amazing...

and he say if he found a baby raccoon.. he will keep it as pet..
i was thinking..
"i would too!"
better let me found one raccoon.. and i will ship it back to Singapore!

the bill is till 16th of June only..
K, and i wanna say.. i did not over used it..
I JEnnifer Goh.. pay good money to buy calling cards to call people..
but now..
it seems that, switching off my hp permanently will solve the situation.. so..

Thank you!

truth or dare..

This is dedicated to all my friends, especially to my jie meis:

Do u have the tradition to write your resolutions at the beginning of a new year..
here's smth nice for ya which i read from a book --

How many times have you prayed for a life "less ordinary" than the one you're living?
If you are being honest, you'll say "Often."
Can i challenge you to a dare?
Today, stop praying for anything other than the life you have!
Join me as we tear up that list of resolutions.
You don't need them anymore.
All you have is all you need.
But more than that, all you have is all you could possibly want.
Give thanks for your most "ordinary" life.
This is how miracle begins, as we embark with sense of adventure seeking the splendid in the sinple gift of everyday.
