I grew, matured, and became a better person after the past 3 days. If you're thinking that the camp was full of cheers, games, fun people, and like those usual camps, which as a result made me so awed, you're wrong. It is an empowerment. There wasn't much walking around the campus to do the usual camp activities, ice breaking ( I don't think we had any ice-breaking activities hehe), or cheering (we only cheered once). It was the inspiring talks given by the members of ROHEI corporation, relational games (really meaningful which injects realization into my soul), and definitely the M & M sessions (mentor and mentee), we shared about our learning points, views, reflections, and whatever we wanted basically. It was awesome because we get to learn from one another. Also, we spent most of our time in an air-conditioned floor which made the camp really comfortable (:
We stayed in the school's "hostel" known as the Loft. I think it looks and feels really good, just like a modern flat! But... there were cockroaches in our apartment... My fear man, luckily there were none in my room, phew!
my room (above) I slept with another of my camp-mate who had similar characteristics as I do (:
The living room (above) hehe that lady there is the camper who shared the same room as me~

They are such lovelies and blessings. I would love to hang out with them again!And my group-mates of course! hehe although we're a all-girls group, I think we enjoyed alot! hehe
Shan't divulge too many details of our activities because I hope you can experience it on your own! To me it is really a worthwhile event and a turning point in life, towards the better (:
Though its main objective is to train us to be better leaders and successful people, I think I absorbed and learnt more than that. I think it had concentrated 30 years of enlightenment into 3 days. of course, assimilation of knowledge is a two-way system, no matter how excellent this camp or program can be, if you are not a keen participant, I doubt there will be maximum satisfaction.
And this is the only camp I cried so badly for. Not because I cannot bear to leave it until I broke down, but because we had this "confession circle" at the end of the camp when all of us shared something dark in us-- the thing that was stopping us from succeeding. The whole process just touched right deep into my darkest thoughts which I never spilled to anyone before, YET, I actually told them, people whom I only know for 3 days. Wow right, I also never expected myself to say them all out.
Anyway, if you have a chance, don't miss an activity conducted by ROHEI. It is a great organization which helps individuals improve and gain genuine happiness (:
I may join them in the future (;
The theme for the camp was ' Ready for the World', so they actually prepared us a passport and boarding pass! I like it to the maxxxx (:
