Came back from my SC camp today and it feels so much better that the camp is finally over! Hahax The camp started at 4:30pm on friday till sunday today at 12pm. As for the camp committees, everyone has a tag and only the incharge has a walkie talkie. Only on friday then I notice I was the only one who actually has two tags! One of them is the Games Master Incharge and the other is a Medic tag... What the!!! That means i'm supposed to be given two walkies too!! Haha! Doing double job aint easy man! Multi-tasking that is... Oh well, basically almost everyone was multi-tasking... Coz as for my games, I require quite a lot of manpower and the gamemasters and logistics are to assist me. It event come to the extend where the Facilitators have to help!! Worst part was when setting up the games halfway someone call for medic... Wah that was bad man! I feel really bad assigning my gamemasters and logistics jobs while I just run way like that...
Friday we started the camp with a little Ice Breaking games. We started off with drop cloth. I got Hafiz to run the game along with three other gamemasters while I got the rest of the men power to assist me in the next game Feed The Killers. For those who went for YA I'm sure it sounded familiar to you... Hahax I got the whole idea from one of the campe I went in april, Youth Avenue. Our time schedule for the games on friday was all way behind time... When we got into Feed The Killers, we were half an hour behind time. Gabriel ran the game, so we cut short the game and managed to at least got us not so behinde schedule... Hahax After that was Dinner and then the campers have to design a flag and think of a cheer. While the facilitators are with them the other committee went to assist in the campfire. Campfire was also behind time and worst of all the fireball did not went well. The programs was ok all thanks to the Bishan's SC member. Three of them came over to help us in the campfire program and the graduated seniors assisted in setting up the firewood and feeding the campfire. Campfire was the only time on friday I can actually have time to rest man... No games no causalties. After camp fire was nightwalk before super then lights out. The night walk went well for the campers but not for us. Two check point counted extra one camper. one at check point 4 and the last one. No they did not miss count but the saw a person in grey hood. Walked pass them. That "person" was not one of the campers as no one was wearing any grey hood...
Saturday was one hell of s hectic day for me man... Lots of games logistics to set up. Games being screwed up on the last minute and people who requires medical assistant at the most unapropriate timing... First game was a simple one. Hand Untie. I got Hafiz to run the game while I got Shark Island and Mind Field. Mine field was simple. Malicalm and Alvin got it set up real quick. Shark Island was the most cocked up game then. When the game was set up. I realised the game wasnt workable... We did not test this game since we are running short of time. I Panicked like hell man when I realised Shark Island cant work. But then Rajesh the quarter master and Fauzi my gamemaster was there and they thought of a little twist to the game. And for that they saved the game and covered my ass. Not only that, their idea was great too. As for Shark Island, I got Rajesh to run the game. I'm not sure who run the Mine Field game though... The Schedule was way before time, so we brought up one game from after lunch. Dog and Bone. Best part of this Dog and Bone is that the bone is a fire hose! Hahax!! After that we had lunch. After lunch we is Point Painting and Telematch. Point painting took too long to set up and I got the campers waiting. For that Ami had to entertain them... Telematch also wasnt tested so I had to remove some parts of the telematch games. For that the telematch was kinda cut short by two section. After telematch was the war games. Thats the best man!! We as seniors played cheat! Hahax our manpower was more plus water bombs also we have more. In our SC history Seniors always win the war games. After that was dinner and I felt so much at ease. My role as GameMaster IC is over as all the games are done. After dinner, Ami Fazli Fathi and I quickly find a good spot to practice our song. At 10pm was disco night. We have the five groups to perform their dance/drama first. Next, some of the camp committee made a drama for the year ones. The drama had a character. The pocong. Its a malay ghost. Dring the Drama, Three person actually saw a real pocong... But notting happen ah. After the Drama the seniors made a performance with guitars and singing. After that was the last performance by Ami, Fazli, Fathi and I. Ami, Fazli and I played the guitar while Fathi sings. We played an original song written by Ami's band. Fazli and I learnt the song last minute so we kinda made a few mistakes during the performance. But then no one notice. Everyone enjoyed the show! After that was Dancing all the way!!
By the time Sunday came, everyone was worned out. We all clean up the school after breakfast and after that we did prize giving along with photo taking before dismissing every one... Wahh!! Finally stress over. So many Cock up in the camp but still managed to cover up good... Now can finally ease my mind for now since its the HOLIDAYS!!! HAHAHA
