Phew, finally back from camp aching and everything. I esp like the captain's ball (got to both attack and defend, but cant regconize some ppl so some of them cant get the ball.... sy >.<) and amazing race.

There was this part at da end in which ms sun told us to state our views about this camp. All I said was " It was a little too strict, but the games were new and refreshing" Actually, there is a lot more to the word strict, but I can't probably say it all there, perhaps we should have a cheng yu, 口语不足与形容。

This time is the first time we are having a discipline plus bonding camp, but discipline is not all about scolding and pmpings, it is also about praising. I agree that sometimes scolding is necessary, esp if everyone is being diam diam or ai mai mai one and not coorperating, not enthu etc. However, if everyone is coorperating, there is really no need to scold, let alone scold too hard. Scolding for every single mistake is a bit too much. Camps are chaotic, it is not easy for all instructions to be recieved accurately. Warning should be given first before the actual scolding begin or else it will only result in complains and hatred towards the com which are, of course not spoken aloud, it will also result in people tinking tat the com is unreasonable. This time everyone is quite guai de lar, there are time in which people are not cooorperating too, but those are few occasions, so yeah, when people are guai, praise them, when people are not guai, give 1 to 2 warning before scolding lar, must give chance mah, right? Keep on scolding and you'll face with an unhappy, unwilling and complaining (thouh its not aloud) "cohort"

Furthermore, this is the first time we having a major interaction with sec 1, all these scolding going on har, they will be afraid of the seniors one. So lighten your scoldings, rmb that the sec 1 still dont know us very well yet, misconception occur den how? Will disrupt bonding de (unless you all wanna the bonding to occur where everyone is complaining abt the com lar)

Yeah, and the pumping har, also shouldnt do so much, beta is not included, Scolding harshly is quite enough, @ most if very serious and everyone not listening, let them stand lor, better effect, under the hot sun. if one group not listening, everyone sit that group send, or cut short lunch time, hold people back for meals and things like tat, scolding harshly is ok le. It will make people feel guilty already (as long as yo dont everytime scold, if dun scold too much, one or two harsh scoldings will really bang people's heart), rmb, we are GUZHENG ppl rite? Leave the pumping to the uni group. Its a simple logic, gz camp pumping is like guys playing with barbie dolls, get wad I mean? Not wrong but weird.

I know I am not really in the position to say and comment so much since I hav every little experience of leading and have nvr planned a camp before but yeah.... these are through some observance and speaking through the POW of someone who experienced the camp as a well, participant?

yeah, all these equals to "a little too strict" lar. But relatively, I think that the camp con did quite a good job, other den the too much scolding and pumping part, the food is nice, I really enjoyed the games every much, all the duo mao mao har, the amazing race har (THIS IS VERY GOOD, the tasks are generally accomplishable and the forfeits not too harsh) also very good. i also enjoyed the candle light soccor and the captain's ball. The activities are well done so... KUDOS!

Ohya, hope that all of you guys who shouted alot have not hurt your throat too much. Musst maintain your erm, nice voices, yeah.

ok, enough crapping from me. most probably there will be not gz members chancing across this page... but I just put it up lar, this are generally what i really wanted to say.

so yeah, thank you everyone for the nice and fun camp, and thank you really much to the camp com for all the planning and efforts.

*not offensive in mind so erm, sry if I offend anyone
