22nd Buddhist Youth Camp

Wow…after a long break, finally, here I am to update my blog. I was away for a camp. What camp? Come on, if you are teluk intan-ist, you will know. What???Oh yes, that is the Buddhist Youth Camp in PBHP. This is the 22nd Buddhist Youth Camp that held in PBHP already. Such a long history, such a memorable camp for me too. I am glad that I am here to join in this camp.
I was the camp leader of this camp. This is the first time I become a camp leader in my life. So, for those participant, you are very lucky, my first time, I share with you all already. Haha.. I was so nervous before the camp. As I mentioned just now, this is my first time become a camp leader, this is the first time I exchange role with SiewLing. Usually, in any camp, she will be the camp leader and I will be the leader of the singing and game section. However, this time, totally different. She is the member of singing and game section, while me, as the camp leader. I was so nervous. Luckily, there are a lot of kalyana mitra supported me and helped me a lot.
During this camp, I learnt a lot and I grew up a lot too. I had learnt how to manage a group without forcing each other while working. I learnt how to work in a group more effective. I know how to let other listen to me without shouting at them but talk to them nicely and tell them the reason why you want them to do so. I have learnt how to organize a game with the meaning behind it. I learnt a lot..really…
I love the part of when we work together as a team. I enjoyed preparing the game with everyone in the camp. The happiest thing is I can see the improvement in many committees and also the participants. That is what we hope to see as the objective of the camp. We want quality but not quantity and yes, we did it this year. Congrats.!!! Congrats to all the committee members. I love you all.
I love every program in this camp. Unfortunately, there were some programs which held in the afternoon I couldn’t join in as I was too tired and sometime I had to settle something for the gratitude night in my room. So, I skipped some of the programs. I didn’t regret, but I felt so glad that the committee members who in charged in the programs make them a success. I love the gratitude night a lot. The funeral. Oh gosh! It’s exactly like the real one. It made me think back and think a lot of things.
Kooiling, Thanks for supporting me all the time and persuade me to accept the challenge to become the camp leader. Without you ,I won’t be able to take up this challenge. BeeSim, thanks to you too.
