::while other JCs are having their lessons already, we had Level Camp and Orientation 2!! was in 0621 and coincidentally, the 1T24 ppl who stayed in cjc were in 1T21 now..
Tues and Wed was the level camp.. somewhat like a bonding, motivation programme.. though I've been through something similar in Empower U, this was a totally different experience for me.. did some activities like the trust fall and the spider web.. dunno if others see it, but these are just some metaphors for the ordeal we go through in life.. well, first was the trust fall... had never done it before though I had a vague idea of what was it.. put that aside and just went for it.. volunteered myself first as I said I would be the first in the next activity we do.. my CT group formed a circle around me and I was to make a choice, whether to not go, to go for it, or to go with blindfold.. took a breath in and said, "Blindfold!" just decided to take the chance and put complete trust into my classmates, though we only known each other for 2 days, after all I would be spending the next 2 years with them.. stumbled on the leg of the chair as I was being led.. my buddy asked whether I was ok and we continued on.. standing on the stack of 7 chairs, could feel the height of it.. so just leaned back and fell..
my mind was like blank when I was falling, haven't felt this calm relaxing feeling for sometime.. only to be jolted back when they caught me.. I really dunno, but I got this feeling that if I did this activity with my secondary school class.. there would be very different results.. not just because 4E1 had more "heavier" people, but I don't really sense the trust and unity in the class.. didn't feel that my friends would be there behind me when I fall..
the next activity was quite a long one.. had to get everybody across this web of strings and not touching any of the strings, if not had to start all over again.. could only go over the strings, and its like slightly above waist level, so you can't do it alone.. didn't get much results when we first started, wasted like an hour plus trying the stepping method.. then one of the facilitators came to speak to us... gave us a challenge to get 7 people in the web, from then on, things started to pick up.. got our technique right already, by carrying people into the web first, then those people ferry the rest over.. erm, saw some things that shouldn't be seen when we were carrying the girls over.. just leave it at that..
one of the learning points about this activity was to be aware of your surroundings... made me think about an incident just after the prelims.. only told a few people about it.. was one of the lowest points in my life where I actually cried.. just feel like nobody cared for me at that point of time.. I could just walk out of class after receiving my paper and nobody would notice I was gone.. anyway, enough of that..
then it was Orientation 2 on Thurs and Friday.. Thurs not much happened.. had some games, learnt mass dance.. their mass dance was more aerobics than dance.. had punches, jabs, jumping etc.. Min Jun was also in my class.. seen her before in cjc and during the first week in ny, but didn't know her name at that time.. anyway, she was telling me how much nicer cj mass dance was..
anyway, Friday was much better.. brought my camera, so took some pics..

Disco Night!


Alfred and Yu Bin..


even Jason's having fun..
even though the hall's air-conditioned, sweated alot due to all the jumping about.. the mass dance was great, though tiring.. partnered with Michelle and danced like there's no tomorrow.. after it all ended, the whole class went out together... went to 7-11 first to get some drinks.. dancing is tiring work you know.. then went to a nearby playground to chat.. chatted till about 9 plus.. Michelle was going to the same bus stop, so walked with her to the bus stop.. turns out we scored the exact same pts for prelims and O levels.. and SA was her first choice also.. another weird coincidence..
