D'CAMP IS LOVE- More than words

I dont really blog, but D camp is really worth blogging about =)

Having been to so many camps, D camp was probably one of the best and it was really a different experience. Initially, i was like worrying about them not being enthu or they would just heckcare us but i was wrong! =X

maybe for a start, they dont really crap much. but by mascot design time, their crappiness and cuteness start showing already. i remember how they insist that they cant draw/ draw not nice/ art fail. but when they try, it's really not as bad as what they say! some can even draw really well!
gradually, the boys start to open up and i get to know more about them. one boy also mentioned that he resign his work that day so that he can come to the camp! XD

My group Phelps isn't that good at sports as compared to other teams, so i think we lost like most of the matches. but what was commendable was that all of them tried their very best with the motto "输不要紧,最重要是输得起" quoting from one of the boys. basically, it means that it's okay to lose, but most importantly, we should not be sore losers. a simple idea of sportsmanship that not everyone can exhibit. but here, I see it resonating in all our boys ^^
and like what siewping mentioned, many of the boys have their own dreams and goals in life. im really glad to hear all that from them.

personally, i feel that the highlight of the camp for my group was really the performance.
the boys didnt want para para so they decided to freestyle their way.
jumpstyle, gliding,tectonic. they tried teaching us but to no avail.
so they decided that we do something that everyone can participate.
eight beats of easy para before the boys have the stage to themselves.
seeing them showcasing all their talents during practice time really show how much they love dancing and they can dance really well! XD
the night of the performance, the boys kinda freaked out like totally!
BUT, they still gave their all dancing to the music in front of all their friends! ^^

I can see that most of them enjoyed the camp, like i did.
And as much as they dont want to admit, the boys are all caring people deep in their heart.
just two days but i believe that many of the boys and the volunteers have bonded much. the camp wont be a success if not for all the volunteers and boys.
and thank you king and siew ping for leading the group together!

"to err is human. whatever the reason, the mistake is made in the past. the most important thing is to learn from mistakes"

i told one of the boys this, and he told me hes glad i understand that.
i guess at the end of the day, all they want is our acceptance and not judge them with tinted glasses. every little acts of sincerity and kindness, they'll rmb it.
