D2YC 2014

this year's camp, I'm in charged of logistics with Ken Hui.

I felt guilty in a way, cause most of the things, Ken Hui did most of the things.. so there were times, I don't have things to do and I felt off.

But overall, I had an awesome experience, with people, with friends, with things how to handle. At times, I might be not chill and frustrated. At times I had fun with other committees.. At times awkward moments occurred. 

I still can't really communicated with the committees much. Even thou I tried to think how I could just join in conversations with them, it won't come out... Even my friends asked why I was quiet and I was preparing balloons with other committees. I said, "No ones talking to me," and she said," just talk la," It's easy to be said then done... I'm from a strict ass family when dad has his own ways of thinking and kinda made me who I am, the quiet, introvert kid, slow thinking, not much exposure kid. 
I don't mind be around people, listens to their stories. Just don't ignore me.

Here's some photos that I took from camp








cupcakes from talentime



































After camp, after clean up, we went Gamuda Walk for lunch.
1st meat meal of the week
Actually I wanted to order the quarter chicken, but need to wait for around half an hour to 40 minutes. So I ordered this. It was okay, but it just too dry for me

~~~~~~~

IF you asked me, if I like which better, F&B or logistics? 
I don't know, cause they are almost the same, but not at the same time.
Last year I did F&B, I felt bit sad, cause I'm not involved in many things and most of the time I'm stuck in the kitchen and it's a lot of hard work. Participants know you for F&B, even thou it's just behind the scene.

Logistics, also kinda the same thing, but more people look for you and you gotta try to help them to solve or prepare them. There's a lot of moving here and there. Participants don't really know about logistics, so it kinda the least recognizable in participants eyes.

When I was in F&B, I felt very left out among committees and during some activities, cause I was mostly busy in kitchen duty and preparation. Logistics, not so much, even thou it's very behind the scene, but just during the beginning and maybe the end, cause of need to clean up.

In the end of the camp, I did enjoyed myself. I had friends to crazy with.

Peace out (Y)

Bad things happening this month

December is coming to an end, and I just wanna reflect on myself for what I did.

1. CAT finals
Yup, my last 2 papers of CAT paper, I admit, I didn't really seriously study for it and panicked on the last few days cause I wasn't constantly studying.

If I didn't pass my FTX and FFM, I'm not surprise and very disappoint at myself. But I managed to pass my FFA and FMA. so is kinda 2 and 2 to go.

And!! I also paid for the fees for my ACCA tuition fees, if I really didn't pass, the fee of the lesson I took for it will burn, if I didn't pass.

2. D2YC. Ready Set Action!
I'm also took part in helping out in this camp. And also I'm holding a kinda big post, f&b. At 1st I wasn't planning to join d2yc this year, but I was so happened I did f&b for D2Y PAD (parent's appreciation day). So one of the seniors of d2y also try to convince to do for camp, *sigh* and I took it.

That time I was super upset at myself for taking it cause, my finals was super close with the camp dates and I can't really focus for finals, in some ways. My mom also worried about me, cause I spend too much time on thinking what to do for camp and the preparation on f&b before camp.

Anyway, back to my point of f&b in d2yc 2013. Some days it went smoothly, some days committees don't have enough to eat, some days have too much left overs, some days I made milo drink and only a few participants came down to drink and left almost 1 and an half kettle left.

I'm really grateful to all the sponsors I got from KK people. Without them, I dont think dana or talentime will go smoothly. And also some committees that helped out in kitchen, even thou is just cutting fruits, wash a bit here and there. I also appreciate those committees hang around in the canteen or kitchen, at least I know I was not alone and keep me a bit of accompany.

I feel so stupid on the ghost activity. My brain go imagine weird stuff when I'm actually in charged in one particular station, and was in the kitchen. I already hate to be alone while working, and now it gives me weird imagination in the kitchen.

Here we go, what actually happened was, we were trying out what sound to make in the kitchen to scare the participants in the dark. I was I little scared for myself already. When Zhi Xuan off the lights, I was standing next to Zhong Jin, and he was wearing a black tee. At his sleeves got printed words, I mistaken that as a hair of a girl and I screamed, damn loud. Later, I found out, I felt so embarrassed. During that time, I was in a okay-can-talk with Zhong Jin, now I'm like super awkward with them... *sigh* Then later, Zhi Xuan take over my position. Oh ya, my partner for this was Yong Le.

End up, I scared myself, I was pull out, kinda, from being a 'ghost' and be in a safe place with Emily and some of the seniors.

I apologies, even thou they might not see this, for the times I might made you all mad or don't cooperate.

During times, when I'm not in kitchen, I feel super awkward and out of place whenever I join hymn or workshops or discussions. Because mostly almost everyone will be in their groups or gang. So.... Yeah....

But in the end of the camp, I also gain new friends, friends to close friends, close friends to heart to heart friends. Be a bit more brave then usual, I guess?

3. CNY Caroling
Yet, again, I didn't want to take this. And yet again and took the challenge knowing part of me I regretted. A lot of people say that this is a good chance to learn new skills... I know is a good chance to learn, I'm just afraid, later, I can't cope with other things.

Jian Xi, Zhi Xuan and me will be in charge of the caroling. Jian Xi and me never been to caroling, so we are super doom in rhizome field.

At 1st we got problem with booking venue. Then booklets.

No one is taking the booklets from the room where they store things, cause either not free or no transport. So I have no choice to take and at the same time I also need to wait for my neighbors to clear the road cause, my neighbor had open house right in front of my house. so during that time, I could consider myself as no transport since my house gate was blocked by tables and chairs. By the time they cleared, it was almost 4. My bro rushed to bmv, then I rushed to meet sis Bodhi to get the keys and rushed to the room.

Found out I don't have the key to that particular floor, and need to wait for the guy to open. Then I reach that room, I use the wrong key to open the wrong lock, and somehow I broke the freaking key. I managed to pull out the freaking broken piece out and stupidly put that freaking broken piece into the other lock and was stucked inside (means that broken key is for the lock I just put inside). I think because I rushed, the key broke.

When the key freaking broke, I panicked and don't know what to do, and hopefully, when I put th's broken piece, inside the other lock, I could manage to open. Which ends up, stuck inside. So I need to tell sis Bodhi that I broke the key and she helped me called a locksmith. Even the locksmith couldn't take out the broken piece and he had to change the whole lock. That time I panicked and felt guilty that the same time. Damn...

4. 1st caroling
And it was Stephanie's birthday, so we were going to surprise her with a cake and Alex was buying it.
Back to caroling, I didn't expect caroling will be having so few people going. Less than 13 people. Is not what I expected. But it went quite okay despite the number of people.

Continue with Steph. After caroling, then lion dance practise. So when Alex reached, we quickly prepare the cake. When it was done, (cause we light up the candles behind the stage), we kinda rush down the stage, I somehow slipped and fell. I heard a small crack, but that time I pretended nothing happened. And then we surprised Steph, then I went home straight cause my broke already waiting outside.

When I reach the car, the pain starts hitting me and it hurts like hell. Damn... that night, my foot was green/black as hell. Ah Teng even call me Robocop cause I walk limping.

The next morning, after much convinced by my dad, I went hospital to x-ray my freaking foot and found out that I actually fractured my foot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm not trying to say that I hated these events that happening in my life, even though I always ask myself why these events happened to me and I hated myself for these at times.

But after awhile when I calm down and think for myself and really think on how to solve these problems and challenges.

For me, it takes matter of time for me to realise what's happening and try move on. Things can't always goes what we planned or perfect. There's always a flaw in everything.

Parents Lecture day + D2Y AGM + D2YC 1st meeting

Parent Lecture Day is like Open Day. Last Sunday, we had parent lecture day by Sunway Tes. this is the 2nd time I'm going.. I keep hinting my mom that I don't her to go.

End up, we did went. Is not that bad than what I expected, all the lecturer seems nice and my mom gave permission to let them ask lots of question, especially for my finance management lecturer, he said he will ask me more questions... great... T_T

~~~~~

By the time we finish meeting all my lecturers, I kinda rush for my D2Y AGM meeting, cause that time was already 12, when the meeting starts at 1.30pm.

I nearly was late. Wait.. I was late, but not too late.

So AGM meeting went like normal. Woah, I'm happy for Stephanie, cause she took up secretary. Jonathan is the current president and Weng Si is VP.

I could see that people really take this very seriously. We came here to learn and make mistake and learn again.

I'm as awkward as usual, kinda out of place. I'm just afraid for myself that I couldn't commit to the D2Y very much.

~~~~~~

After AGM, the D2YC meeting was conducted by Wei En, cause he is the next coming camp manager and Jacqueline is the coming vice camp manager camp.

We discussed about taking post in camp of planning it. I actually don't want to take up any post. Cause I don't want to be responsible and make big mistakes. But... no one is taking up F&B.

Jacqueline, Jonathan, and Wei En asked me a few times whether I could take up. Haiz... that time, I was half wanted and don't want to do it. End up, I took the post. And Justin is also helping me out, glad that I'm not doing it myself.

I also don't really want to participate cause the time slot clashes with Comic Fiesta Q_Q
1st choice is the week start after SPM and in a way also my final exam. The 2nd choice is the week that clashes with Comic Fiesta, that's why I was so hesitated to join.

I guess I have to drop the Comic Fiesta. Last year also, I can't really make it, I bought 2 early bird tickets and only went one day, the other I sold it to Zi Yang.

I also took up ice breaking in planning activity.. great.. don't I have enough things on my hands, why i still take ice breaking. Haw Lun also kinda give me pressure that I need to make it interesting, cause is like the appetizers for the camp.

~~~~~~~

So that goes my day, with headache mode the whole day, I didn't know how I got it. I just know that I got really bad headache during parent lecture day and throughout the day... so it kinda half crappy day for me
