OTC Camp

I am finally back from OTC! actually is yesterday but just too tired to blog. hahas. (:

tired but fun and challenging. inspiring. love OTC'09. love Tango!! (:

Day 1

booked in at 4.45 so we fall in and the usual stuff was done. quite some time ago since i was like a cadet again. hahas. falling in and every thing.(: then had lecture conducted by sir william lesson one - what's your potential? hahas. he talked about our timing for 2.4 km run, so we were thinking there must be running the next morning. then the next slide showed, so will go for a run NOW. omg, that time was around 5 plus and i didnt eat lunch that day la. so reluctantly i went. all of us ran, ran 1st round my timing improved as compared to usual. glad. (: then still need run 2nd round. he said 2nd round is the time when more ppl give up cos everyone is tired alr. true. i did give up a little, cos was running alone, no motivation, only motivation by myself. hahas. and some others who run past and just said jia you and all the way. hahas. then had dinner. and had triage, kind of chaotic. hmm, maybe not very well done thats what i think. cynthia and i transported a girl down with 2 other guys as well from the 3rd floor. tiring. hahas. slept around 1 plus. and reporting time for next day 4.45 am.

Day 2
Morning run from greenview sec all the way to pair ris park. running again. in this OTC camp, it's actually very physical but what they focused on is mental. they kept emphasizing that it's all in the mind! quite true. many times when u think that u want to give up, u will really give up soon. and during the run i am really sleepy. hahas. and after that i think we had ultimate challenge. it was really challenging. groups of five. so my group have wei qi, jasmine, qian cheng and samuel. haha. it'll take super long for me to say everything so a shorter version one.

we had to hold there in pumping position/crunches position until it is our team's turn. so we had to climb that rope thing, it's my first time la. climbing that rope with assist from others. then weiqi was the lightest so we got her to lie on stretcher den like it's like toc, climbing on benches to get her through obstacle. then did 100 pumpings shared with grp so 20 each. aft that pull up need do 30 each grp. lol. do we did it too with assist from others. it's all about strategy and helping each other i suppose. then had shuttle run or something. then it's the piggyback thing. lol. so last station is leopard crawl. then went back climb that rope again and ring the bell. lol. really tiring. seriously.

Day 3

had run again that 2.4km one but this time round is with group, so we were to strategise and set a target. so we run together as a group. this time it was better, cos in a group, we motivate each other, and cheered each other on, i didnt give up even when i am tired, i just kept running. the whole feeling is different. i think in life, we should always work as a team, then we can travel far, working alone might not have the same result. so our target was 17 mins. but we came back at 17 min 58 sec. but they said +1 is fine. and we were alright. then had to go 2nd round. complete within 25 mins, second round is not easy, seriously. my legs felt as if it's going to detatch from my body any time la. omg. hahas. we ran for 20 mins. quite alright i think. (: goooood job. hahs. sir qing jun doesnt like the goooooooood job cheer. lol
camp fire at night, our dance performance during practice seems not very good, and the sound system had problems and at night. but our grp does not need music. hahas. dance without music, so cool la. we sing by ourselves. we are so special.(: danced cannibal king combine 2 sentence of because of you and combine 1st short part of nobody. think it was funny. hahas. seriously. good job ppl. hahs. and i was the cadet course commander of the day. nice experience. (:

Day 4

3 am oh maybe earlier. gathered and prepared for road march. 16 km of road march from changi all the way back to greenview sec. my eyes can hardly open and see things. i almost fell alot of times. and cant walk sraigt, hahas. luckily ppl at the back kept pulling me back on track. hahas. thanks ah. (: but after that reached greenview at i dont know what time but the sun is out alr. lol. and had debrief, area cleaning and stuff.

Sir william is very inspiring. his lectures inspired me alot and i had a lot of self reflection. so i learnt a lot in the camp. (: had a lot of fun also. really tired but fun, motivating and inspiring. alright. that should be all. need to sleep. mum is going to scream soon. hahas. (:

good night ppl. take care!

disappointment. sometimes the more u anticipate something, the more disappointed you'll be. it's okay. i will be strong. (: i will still be happy. for now, i still can take it. sometimes i dont know what's the point of being so nice. sigh.

i love you.
