swaps quest 04

this is gonna take a while. 
 
2nd time involved in swaps foc. very different from last year.
 
last year did pubs and recruitment and was permanent faci.
this year was advisor and faci - meaning station master most of the time. had to settle admin stuff too.
 
was kinda sad that i missed out on ice-breakers. it really felt very different. last year doing recruitment, collected most of the fees so i could recognize almost all the new campers. this year, all those faces i can't put names to. kinda sad. but i'm glad i ran off to join my group during first day after lunch. at least got to know my group campers. hee.
 
and mind you, they're a bunch of damn horny people. hahah. we were the group, Fyndhorn, and horny we were, with leaders of the pack V & CY. Since we got to know our group name V had been unable to control herself - her horniness was evident in her msn nick and she influenced us to change our nicks as well. haha... but then again SY was the one who picked our group name (according to V) so there, we owe our horniness to both of them. but hmm the campers all had such horny potential it was unbelievable.
 
being station master is a new experience. feeling a little detached from the groups but still i'm always happie to see the fyndHORNIES at my station, haha.. was afraid that i would have a hard time integrating back into my group when i went to join them, cos i really take very long to warm up to people, but they're such lovely peepz that there wasn't much of a problem..we worked really well together to dunk V in the sea after my playground station, heh.
 
finale night. i was damn pissed with the admin. din give me my bloody air-con. shut my fans after that. i felt like screaming every vulgarity i knew at the admin, but they had knocked off and there was no bloody person i could do that to. and when that died down i just felt like, damn, i hope i din screw things up. then the security guard came by - our "enemy" for the past few nights - but we spoke nicely to him and he actually helped us with the air-con. did the waltz with SY as we talked, and we spoke about Zhen and i told her i got her msg in the afternoon at Sentosa and gave her the hug Zhen wanted me to give her, and then we cried. kodak moment that one. then we went around learning cha cha from Deb and a little from Jannah. wacky these peepz. love them.
 
and soon it was last day of camp. and it's the feeling like, woah, that's faaast. ribbon ceremony was less emotional this year than it was for me last year, but still, teared a little. could hear the sincerity of the words spoken but we, true to our group name and nature, peppered the words with horniness from time to time, so the mood was still light.
 
and now, back to normal normal living again. camps always feel unreal to me. and now it's time to think about all the people i have things to say to.
 
Programmers
this was the maddest bunch of people i ever saw working together. stayovers, late nights, brilliant ideas, perserverence, strength, lame jokes. my goodness. and TOTALLY STUBBORN. haha. but i love you guys. you've been an inspiring lot. i dunno why i spent more time with programmes than helping pubs and recruitment (probably cos G had it mostly settled) but you guys have shown me a lot too. thanks :)
 
Shiyun - for taking the post. i'm sure you learned a lot. for being strong no matter what happened. for telling me how you feel. for being my support. for the sweet little things you do for me. for the herbal tea and aloe vera aftersun and the choc.  for the laughter and the jokes and secrets. for the tears and hugs.
 
Lin Yen - for being so committed. for being so steady. for being so stubborn like me - i wun let go of the pail or the radio, whichever i'm holding! haha. for trying to make me feel better even as you had to tell me that admin screwed up on us during finale night. for being open to suggestions and ideas.
 
Yvonne - for being ever so good-natured. for doing the rooms (sorry dearie that i din help). for your smile. for the wonderful job of knights and ladies and the brilliant royal sisterhood idea.
 
Zhisheng - for knowing what you want. for being willing to work around things when faced with opposition. for your determination. for inspiring the rest. for clearing up doubts and queries. for being steadfast.
 
Javen - for the great job on log. for the wacky ideas at the weirdest moments. for taking in stride our "duh" looks and responses. for planning 3rd day returning of items well so i din have to miss ribbon ceremony nor break camp lunch with my group. for getting me helpers and helping during the borrowing and returning of equipment.
