Holy crap on a stick. I haven't been posting for a loooong time.
Sorry but my phone can't connect to the computer right now. So no pictures but i'll try to get them up.
So much has happened and so much is happening right now. It's seriously a really busy time.
I went to the Henry Park Primary School Scouts Sixer Training camp last last week. Its my old primary school so i thought going back there to help would be fun. I went in the capacity of a service scout. So my jobs were basically to guide the pri 6s and be a big brother to them. The camp was held at a really ulu spot in sembawang so at night you could see so many stars.
Oh and being a service scout is the SLACKEST job in the entire world. You get a dorm with beds, while others sleep in tents and you can stay in it playing PSP and DS until your services are needed. Its that simple. So Dominique, Steven and Wei Long from New Town came along, as did Clement and Dinh from NUSHS. Dominique brought a PSP and Wei Long brought his DS, so we played PSP and DS the entire way.
The Henry Park Scouts weren't too bad either. Being primary school kids, they were easy to amuse. And being the only person to bother to amuse them, everyone started sidling up to me. By the bus ride back, everyone knew my name. 2 people even got my phone number, and i have no idea how that happened. Anyway, the highlight activity was the 7km hike. It took 5 bloody hours (Primary school kids). But at the end of the hike, we were at the Sembawang hot springs, which i only knew because of reading Neil Humprey's book. It was just a bunch of old wrinky men and a few taps and a lot of buckets. The spring was about 80 degrees hot and contained sulphur from the earth underground, which smelled like rotten eggs O.O The kids loved it, playing with the extremely hot water, and being in charge of their safety, i got burned quite a few times. In the end the camp was quite fun, ending with a water slide game. And the kids are still calling me...
Oh and I'm now a Team Leader for the upcoming DSA NUS high selection test, in charge of Blue 5. Benard got Blue 6, which was my original group and he doesn't want to switch with me :( Lol. With the HPPS scouts camp a success, i hope the new generation of NUS High will like me. And this time i'm not giving out my phone number...
