i know how it feels
when i see you smile (:

No matter how long we exist,
we have our memories.
Points in time which time itself cannot erase
Suffering may distort my backward glances
but even to suffering,
some memories will yield nothing of her beauty or their splendor.
Rather they remain as hard as gems.

Okies, now for a very recent flashback, OBS...

Thinking back on the day when I was chosen to be the seeker for lovegood, I was already destined to go for OBS (sounds so grand right?)

I had very high expectations of it, especially cos I was not allowed to go for it during my sceondary school years. Instead, it turned out to be a little boring.

It really made me realise that council camp and LTC was super fun.

Council camp had the sense of urgency and everything was done nicely and smoothly, whereas for OBS, everyone dilly-dallied, especially for the bathing time. Zhi Yuan and I were like getting a bit pissed off, abit only (sorry Louis, have to your your tagline)

LTC had many more activities, unlike OBS, which only had very little activities.

The worse thing was that I did not feel as if I've got the mood or drive to want to improve as a person in OBS. Perhaps I was having too much judgement on the camp?

I had a super good instructor and a super good group (well, not really everyone started talking to me, or I've started talking to them) and our group really has good leaders. As for my instuctor, Birin (not his full name), he is a very good example himself.

He smiles and stays calm almost all the time. He has the very serious look only when there is danger. He really treats the camp the right way by not appointing I/Cs, since all of us are leaders ourselves. He really gives people ownership of what they do, and help them by letting them push till the end and then when nothing goes well, he drops hints. I really admire him as an instuctor, one of the best if I could say.

From there, I really did more thinking and I'm really dying to speak with a few people about some important stuff.

Despite all these stuff, I really enjoyed everything! OBS rocks, Raffles rocks! Birin rocks!

Finally, during OBS, there were many times I felt like giving up, but I remembered what I told RJ to do. "When you feel like giving up, find your strength in 31st." I did that too.
