Camp Ragnarök 2012
It was an exhilarating three-day camp where i saw people do/say things beyond self, beyond boundaries.
I must say, I was abit shocked at my own "rara-ness" too haha. :b
04/08/12:
They started strolling in, group by group. We greeted them with big smiles on our faces. Some looked apprehensive, while others exuded a tad of enthusiasm. After a few rounds of simple introduction n icebreakers, we started walking around the big campus.
Open War was conducted in the afternoon. Mini station games were played. Haha, to think we were already noticing their every actions n speech even before we knew we had to choose a Best Freshie (from 4 groups). Nevertheless, i felt that each of them had a particular strength which i adored.
Night came and screams echoed throughout the hallway.
Q: "Who is the One?"
A: "Perd Lao Mei!"
woo a mystery/horror walk arnd campus to solve a murder case, a very refreshing idea indeed :)
05/08/12:
Rise & Shine at 0700hrs for.. breakfast, followed by "Clash of the Titans" (a.k.a. Amazing Race).
After travelling for half a day, everyone's legs were aching and im sure energy levels dipped a little.
Reflections at night allowed freshies to reflect on
- what went wrong?
- what went right?
- how to improve for future camps?
(a little bit of grp reflection was done too.. albeit a little too brief due to time shortage :/ )
Jeremiah's bdae surprise by THOR, Mojo, Camp Destiny ex-co at 1220hrs~ ^^ i guess he was really touched, his "thank you" speech was filled to the brim wif emotions!
haha asking ppl to meet me in the dark canteen just to write their bdae wishes on the card, coordinating where to meet b4 surprise, how to keep him occupied so we can do all the abovementioned.. was all worth it :)

To think i got spotted (sian to e max).
J: yy!

J: (pause) yy! is that you? 你在做什么？
me: (siao liao siao liao. scurries to canteen. LOL)
After sending freshies off to bed at 0200hrs, some of us seniors had our own HTHT! :D haha, or rather a post-pract sharing of experience & emotions :) off to bed at 0430hrs.

Final day of camp.
We, THOR seniors were treated like VIPs during breakfast. They kept asking us to sit while they served breakfast to us, and.. gave us handmade cards awww~ (pitch goes up lol). Really touched as i didn't expect freshies to give seniors gifts durin their camp! haa. a truly unforgettable first time :')
Uber Frisbee saw THOR, LOKI, ODIN & FREYR playing against each other. The ultimate match would be the last, where "Seniors VS. Freshies" matches were played. It was definitely tiring as everyone played their best for this event!
"Must win, must win. Just 1 more point to do better than the prev match. Must mark this guy. C'mon, faster yy, swift actions!" haha thoughts were running through my mind omg. but i must say, it was really enjoyable. even fostered relations among seniors.
Final score: 13 - 7. WOHOO! xD
The final event of camp (i shall call it - reflections via the intertwining of string) witnessed tears of mixed emotions as groups did their own reflections, verbally expressing our own thoughts abt each member of the group.
OK, i admit. Tears welled up in my eyes n my nose just kept leaking lol. They not only learned from us, we learned as much from them too. Their words of gratitude n encouragement, knowing tt this is my first time, made me feel i've accomplished my goal of establishing a close bond among them.
