Mentoring Camp

on monday and tuesday, i was at SAJS, facilitating the mentoring camp. i was in group 6, 3 of us facilitators, 2 mentors and 4 mentees for the 1st day and 7 for the 2nd. JH was for group 9 while Shean was for group 3. 369. Shean signed up with me. we sat together and chatted on the second day before the mentees arrived.

most of the mentees got on well with each other. on the first day, we got to know each other well because it was a small group. i didn't know one of the mentees was the head prefect of the school! no wonder he asked if i was from the school council. or maybe it's because the mentees didn't know why we were in the camp. we signed up voluntarily. he puts in enthusiasm and effort when he plays.

my mentees were enthusiastic, except for one shy boy and one problem maker on tuesday. but the shy boy participated and the problem maker toned down a bit. that problem maker is clever. he can solve maths problems quickly on his own, the matchstick ones that take me a long time. and we have a p4 archer who is super in english.

our p5 rugger eats a lot. he's not big built. but can see that he is a rugger because he's got a bit of muscles and a tan. when he came on the second day after his rugby, his shirt had brown stains. he ate 1.5 to 2 packets of lunch on tuesday. we mentors got the same portions for lunch as the mentees did.

i enjoyed myself at the camp. we group 6 won the cheering competition. for the stations, we gathered mostly full marks for cheering. :D however, i do not intend to join this camp again if given the opportunity because of little problem makers. however, if without them, i would do it again.

after mentoring camp was totally over, i walked to Macs to get a filet-o-fish and ate it while walking to SAJC. cheerleading training. a new girl joined us. she was a former gymnast and is from touch rugby. she's strong. she learned shoulder stand and elevator in that session alone. she's nice. nelly introduced her. yay! we got a new base!

we finalised the designs for the costume. tailor would be coming down soon to measure us. i would like a more loose fit, not a tight perfect fit for my arms. i look like a sack with sticks sticking out of it otherwise. I'm not a waif!

had a bit more practice for round-off. must perfect it. i learned how to throw myself forward instead of starting with my hands up. i must try to finally do a toe touch. must also stretch more so i can do my splits and a scorpion. i'm almost there.

when i got home that night, shelby gave me a call and conferenced-in eli. eli wanted me to go over to her house to meet up the next day. after consideration, with their not so good persuasion, shelby persuaded better by the way, i decided to go.

met up shelby at novena mrt, she's staying over at jessica's. i haven't seen jess for a long time. i've also never been to her house though i've known her much much much longer than shelby. oh well.

took mrt to choa chu kang. SO FAR AWAY. 39 min MRT ride according to the signboard. we go PAST woodlands. choa chu kang was where we took a bus to the police academy where SAJC WON the Police Cup A div. for rugby. nearly the whole school went down then. choa chu kang was next to yew tee. now i know how far it is from school for jason, and sabrina who stays at the hostel for that reason, and for HR, Elissa & YS, but i found that out too when we took a bus from SAJC straight to Choa Chu Kang interchange. ok ok, i go back to my story now.

there's a straight bus from sajc to eli's place. by the way.

first thing we did was hit the piano. :D no explanation needed.

had pizza hut for lunch. it was so difficult ordering when it's on speakerphone and when some people talk loudly next to it. yes, we should have ordered the large one but we never expected someone else to take our pizza. but it was nice and soft, because it was warm. not the chewy chewy ones i usually have. that's not nice.

played eli's guitar after tuning it. strings need to be replaced. the metal ones getting RUSTY.

shelby and i created a new sim for the founder of eli's 2nd legacy, where eli and her sister intend NOT to cheat. it's a pretty sim. helps eli downloaded custom sims things.

i also helped eli create a cheapo house, since they're not cheating on cash. haha:)

after a bit of chatting, we left for home. time flew by so quickly. we invited shelby to iceskating.

velocity is now open apparently. maybe shelby jessica and i go meet up and check it out there. there's a MOS burger, which i never had before, except for the disgusting one primary school gave us. soya bean burger. yuckyuckyuck. and there's a haagen dazs. :D:D:D and the sports goods and apparel, adidas FACTORY outlet. :D

i figured out the christian song "God is Our Father....sing praise to the Lord with the..." that song, for the guitar last night. :) also finally managed to catch project runway.

today is slack day. but i hope to get started on homework. the pile is getting too big to handle.

i'm feeling...
