道学成长营2008《生命的选择, Choices in Life》
THE CAMP WAS how should I say... BEYOND WORD-O BEYOND WORD-O!!

There are so many things to be said, yet so little that can be put into words.

The 2-day camp felt like a week to me, but still I was reluctant to say: Goodbye.

Refreshing, I would say, to be an organiser of such a big camp instead of being a camper. For the first time in my life, I was actually attending an all-teachers' meeting - something I've always dreamt of doing. ;D It's amazing to experience first-hand how the behind-the-scenes went. Kept telling Mum how it's so hard to be an organiser of a big event and it's even harder to have the campers like what we organise. We've been wrecking our brains for dunno how many months thinking and planning everything in great detail. Even single dYb days we have are spent in the meeting rooms. Well, all our hardwork put in has certainly paid off!! I hope that all our campers enjoyed themselves thoroughly - for I sure did!

Jia Hao couldn't have put it better in his blog:
"For i am but the eyes and the memory of the camp, while you guys are the hands and legs, the brain and voice, the heart and soul on which the camp proceeded."

It was a great experience mann, from the very beginning till the very end - which in fact may be a new beginning for many more wonderful camps to come. ;D

Just wanna express my thanks to:

Have become - and still am - super 自HIGH after attending the camp! I didn't know that one camp can change me so much. But it has and I'm glad it did. ;D
