Recuperating

I just came back from a swim and it felt great! Exercising is like a ritual detoxing session for me especially in the holidays when you can idle some time away =P.


CCAL Camp 08

As the teacher-mentor of c6, I am really proud of the kids in my team. I can't say that I am a good facilitator but I definitely hope that they had learnt something from me and one another because to me, the camp was a great opportunity to mentor, not only to have fun. I remembered being quite stern with them on the first day we met but they lived up to expectations and kept the spirits up throughout the 4-day journey when we took good care of one another.
For some of these kids, you can really see that they have matured since the last time I saw them in RI and it gladden me to see them so.

They may not get the best sub-grp prize but how many can boast missing their kids only hours after leaving them? They had made the camp this year memorable for me and I do relish the fond moments with them. N they made me feel much loved with the big grp hug at the end before I left. To C6:



-------Right after the CCAL camp was the Sci Camp

Ahoy the pirates!
3 days of work and fun as we launched trebuchet, solved mystery, made new friends, indulged in some stimulating intellectual workshops and fought some wars!
IT was a crazy time for the students and the teachers I am sure. But the responses were rewarding, to know that the camp had made a difference in understanding and tackling science as a subject, and had enriched the lives of the participants with new found friends from other schools. The teachers as well. It made me realised the distance I can go and what do I want out of this whole education business.
