Camp

I think I better blog about this before it becomes outdated.

Instructor (Er Jun aka Hagrid?)-He is quite nice to us no matters how poor we are, being late leaving no time for dinner, RJ making stupid comment and irritating every1. He still stands by us, giving us his silent support. But then I feel not everybody appreciate this and ignore him, challenging and bypassing him. His kindness is not rewarded.

Ah BAo aka Fred and George-Always as cheeky and ready to crack to a joke, he has a great sense of humour. He does seems to be restricted by rules as he sings that "suck the jelly" song in front of the teachers! His bold approach won much support from us though. He is also cunning during "Simon Says". Honestly he is like En Loong, very funny and dirty (mentally) too.

LCX-He is my buddy and sometimes he seems quite engrossed with arguing with Ling Chen. I feel he just wants to get out of this camp ASAP. He did have a strange position for sleeping, curling like a baby, squeezing himself into a corner. Other than that, he is quite funny sharing jokes with us.

Ling Chen aka Dean Thomas-He helps us draw our banner and other art stuff. His gut lifted the group and does not give up. He also like to lame around with me "William again", without getting tired. Seriously, he is a nice person to have around in such camp.

Li Ye, Wei Ming and Swee Keng-They are the heart and soul of the team, with every physical activity assigned to them. Well, what can we do? Li ye and swee Keng are from uniformed groups and should have better life skills than us. Wei Ming also showed his leadership quality by guiding us.

Boxian and Jiang Hao-These 2 ppl have some problem.
Jiang Hao keeps asking me why am I laughing and those lame stuff.
Boxian have a double personality indeed-he despised RJ for 1 hour but call him "friend" the next. This is hard to comprehend, but to RJ, "you are worth of this".

Bo Rui and zi Xian-They have some problem coping with those phhysical stuff, but they did tried their best. Borui look amusing at times and Zi Xian is sadly at the sideline most of the time. Hmm, he really wasted $75.

Conclusion

As you can see, good personnel are important for anything. As LKY said in his memoirs, capable people are even more important than a good system. For while good people in a lousy system could still be thrives, it would be the opposite case in a lousy people in a good system.

Good working attitude-They should not be slacker

With that said, I still bears hope for next year PD and MRP. If partnership is allowed for year 3, I would be going after my no. 1 target in my class.

He is hardworking, articulate and able to do his paper alone. We are under the same mentor. I had even though of a topic: Asian Financial Crisis.

Storm Before The Rainbow

The sun shone with a roaring brilliance, illuminating the sky to gentle blue, pushing mother earth to greater life.

Ignorant of the clouds’ gathering conspiracy as they secretly plots against him as the sun linger on the throne.

Soon the rain began to beat as the sun’s unbeatable glow fades, and advances through her face. As the sun was losing ground.

Just as it seems they were fighting a losing battle and the end is near, nobody realise whose is it.

The sun shone once more with a glowing brilliance as the triumph was celebrated in the magnificent rainbow

As the sun condemn the gloomy darkness to eternal slumber
