Band Camp Reflections 08

Guess its my turn to do the reflections, not that there's a schedule or anything, just that if Poh does it and then another guy does it, i guess its like an obligation or something. Ok, enough digressing.I'll probably recount what happened then proceed to give my thoughts, easier that way.

1st day: Report for practice, break for lunch, games, practice, dinner, sleep.Oh yes, day spent trying to fruitlessly convince Band that there is no Amazing Race, success within own room! yay!

Thoughts: A fairly reflectionless kind of day, thoughtworthy point would have to be the games. Personally felt that the memory race was abit saddening....biased towards fat people! The cavadi on the other hand was biased towards skinny people, so yea...evens out i guess.I don't really know if any team bonded within this period of time, having just been seperated into teams, people are probably more concerned about why their friends aren't with them at this point in time.

2nd Day: Morning PT, Breakfast, practice,lunch, free mingling time, dinner ,practice,sleep. Continued fruitless attempts at decieving Band, illusion in own room starting to break down.

Thought: Fairly disappointing reaction from Band at sight of breakfast, issue already covered by previous 2 reflections, but i'll do it anyway. Bread is considered a staple by most, at home while rushing to school, the most basic breakfast would be either biscuits or bread. I'd dare say that even the most privilledged(yes i know, probably spelled wrong) of us eats bread for breakfast. So whats wrong with bread for breakfast in camp. By right, food at camp should pale in comparisons to food at home, so by right, if we eat bread at home, we should be eating...i dunno... hardtack??

3rd Day: morning PT, breakfast, practice, amazing race( full day sectionals), seoul garden(osaka garden), sleep, nightwalk,sleep.Finally we can drop the facade, end the charade etc etc.(i think i used facade wrongly, but what to do, vocab expansion)

Thoughts: I guess personally, i allowed Guo Zhi to have too much freedom during the amazing race and we made a couple of wrong decisions, but i feel that over the course of the race, our team bonded alot. After all, the team that takes the-train-to-the-wrong-station-then-takes-a-1hr-bus-ride-followed-by-a-15-minute-walk bonds together.
At night, we had a real eye-opener by the teachers, so thank you for that.
Followed by a really refreshing and new way of an exco meeting. Really looking for more meetings of that type.
Refreshed and energized by the new direction, we proceeded to prepare for the night activities. Some Sec 3's really bonded while making the maze.
Unexpectedly, Band, wasn't really that angry at being woken up in the middle of the night. Went through night activities with my sole team mate Wei Nan. Completed a surprising lot. Completed personal time of 1 min 17 seconds for obstacle course while blindfolded. Supposed meeting turned into a snoozefest.

Day 4: breakfast,practice, home!
Thoughts: A really tired Sec 3 batch stayed awake throughout practice and promptly fell asleep during skit prep time, or at least, i did. Skit time was fun. Mike was funny, all the usual stuff, Band has resumed its normalcy.


I know, this is more of a breakdown than a reflection, but this is how i do it
