Y Camp summary...

Y Camp is a 4D3N (i think) camp organised by YMCA bi-annually for volunteers to interact and help the beneficiaries in overcoming certain fears and in learning more about themselves.

So this time round, we're rather blessed with lots of things... like...
1) the god-damn weather to cool us down and prevent overheating..(rain every now and then)
2) only 1 accidental discharge of god-knows-what w/o any warning..
3) nice nice weather for the last day when we are taking fotoshot...

Anyway let the pict do the toking...

Here's my grp... & the rockclimbing instructor...(day 2)
The volunteers & the trainer

Anyway on day 2 afternoon, the beneficiaries arrived...
So we had some minor games with them where they're supposed to draw sth, den we'll cut it up and they're supposed to play treasure hunt... =)
Painting...

Nightfall, and waiting at the MPH for night walk to start...
Interaction...

Day 2 ended on a rather tiring note with my little kid (below) keep coming down to find me while we're having 'meeting' cos he scared of sleeping alone...

Day 3, flying fox early in the morning...
As usual, my enthu little kid wanted to go 1st as per normal.
Something screwed up along the way, so the 1st 5 of us volunteers are up on the tower w/o any harness...(of cos me being the 1st retard)
So no means of hooking up (i had a worthless makeshift harness that's damn loose though, courtesy of the instructor...)

Anyway anxious look before going off...
before jump...

Poor folks waiting downstairs...
Waiting...

And the funny part???
My kid almost chickened out...
"scared!!! 5 min, 5 min!!!"
That was what he said...
Fear...

With grp Andes watching...
Grp Andes waiting...

Eventually he gave in to pressure and jumped off...
(if not i gotta go push him lor...)
Jump-Off

And off he goes while everyone watches...
On the way down...

And the next few in line... (all see liao oso wanna jump cos cannot lose face..)
The beneficiaries...

With that, I make my way down away from the tower...
(cos the toopid makeshift harness is damn freaking loose if i nv hold it in place...)
Tower...

Anyway day 3 afternoon's kayaking for us.
Briefing at the moment, and DAMN!! shld haf taken from the other side oso...
(didn't take from the front or else can take foto of the 2 cute instructors..)
Before Kayaking...

Anyway partners are exchanged for kayaking to better distribute the weight difference.
So I ended up with this beneficiary who curse & swear (got scolded 1x jialat² by marcus though), dun listen to instructor (scolded and almost whacked by me), and of cos, did stunts like rocking the damn kayak & doing reverse gear(他妈的, 2-star soon-to-be kayaking instructor not for show k?!)
Thank god I damn nice tempered...

Anyway fast-forward abit, kayaking's over and everyone's back...
(notice anything retro??)
After Kayaking

Nightfalls for Day 3's ard again, and they had campfire after the BBQ...
They had a balloon game which of cos we won, cos we haf an 'airpump'..(in red)
the balloon game

Anyway after that was disco nite for the folks and of cos they danced away while I was busy fototaking (flash for that cam not bright enough) and looking after my kid cos he kept zoning out and tot he's the host of the Sat's PSC variety show's host...

Of cos though, funny mention will be the 3 instructors surrounding the campfire pit to prevent any injury. They got so bored and smoked so much they decided to do martial art stunts and do all sorts of funny positions like crane stance and dunno wat other...

Back in the room, nothing much either as I had to bear with my kid's scolding as he got hysterical about some stuff when it's not my fault and he didn't notice it also.
(actually his fault lah, cos he anyhow put things nv count, and nv count properly somemore. den i haf to count to let him see he count wrongly...)

Day 4's fototaking and out-processing. nothing much...

Anyway in general, it's been a great camp, and definitely a learning experience.
In fact, we're learning new things about them every moment.
Grp foto...
Yet another grp foto
Of cos, definitely not the sneak attack thingy on the jie jies until the last day though... =P

To end of with, here's... -drum roll-
the sleeping buddha cum airpump beneficiary of the grp.
Sleeping Buddha
Sleeps anywhere, anytime, no matter where he is...
