Project INSPIRE.
Inspired me quite abit.
We always say "give and take". Those who 'take' of course are happy, since they gain. But now i realize the joy the givers experience. It's like how i'm feeling now.
Satisfaction.
It is the thing that when you think of it, even though if it's merely the slightest thought, your lips curl upwards almost instantly. You feel at that instant, you are saturated with unspeakable tinge of warmth, that envelopes you like a cocoon. Note that this feeling is of different agenda from infatuation. The feeling of giver's joy is so real this time. Perhaps i have always been the taker.
You don't lose anything by giving. You gained satisfaction. Smile. Joy.
Which transcend everything else.
Two days. Short to many, long for some. All in all, it's well spent.
It's heartwarming to see the kids(yes, i call them kids haha) all enjoying the two days. Some of them even wanted to come back again next year. *smiles* Good sign.
So much happened within the space of only two days. We, as facilitators got closer during the camp. There were so many things which require co-operation among us. Camp is, after chalet, the next thing that bonded us together. As for the kids, well, they were mainly Malays and Chinese. So they have to ignore their differences and work together as a team. It's natural to see people of the same race clump together during the camp, but when it's time to work together as a team, they really put aside their differences. This is one learning point.
I shall never forget the time when Iskandar, Izwan and Syukri sat together with the facilitators for tea break(which means nasi lemak) after Amazing Race. We sat in a circle. For one instant i thought we looked like we were having picnic, with jokes constantly cracked by the three boys. However naughty they may be, however angry they made you, at the end of the day they always have little gestures which made you smile. This means they are not at all uncontrollable. They are nice people, with a little rebellious nature common among teenagers.
I woke up today, just to realize the camp is over.
Got abit unused to it, not used to not watching the kids playing games, not used to not scream for attention from the noisy crowd, even the finale photo taking was stuck at the back of my mind.
It was truly a wonderful camp. With little juicy gossips from the BBC(szeying) and CNN(me of course) about taitai and occasional outbursts of uncontrollable laughter, the only sad thing was not able to stay overnight. If this was an overnight camp, i'm sure there'll be more memories.
