Got a very bad cough and flam, just went to doctor this afternoon and he said I got bronchitis, sounds scary , hopefully I will get well soon-by Sunday so wouldn’t be going back on Friday for guides meeting I guess. Oh ya, any YAs reading this, do you guys know whether we are still gonna have our picnic on Saturday or will it be the camp FLAG briefing?

As promised, YA conference, Day 2.
Met up with Natalie and Rebecca at Redhill MRT then we went off to buy breakfast and waited damn long for the bus. That day, the facilitators were all super super high, I am guessing cos of the lack of sleep and the boring activities(as compared to day 1 I mean) so we entertained ourselves.

Actually, Tong Tong started everything , she went and said to Jia En “Hello, my name is tonight,call me tonight.” So her nickname for the conference is” tonight”, somehow or another, Siew Ying became “tomorrow” and Jia En became “every night”, then Rebecca,Natalie and Isabelle respectively became “every hour/min/sec” and I am “every year”. Very very lame then we started telling each other stupid lame jokes. Oh, another thing, we were like guessing which school we were from just by our faces.super lame.haha.

Then it was press conference time, my group was pretty quiet, only 2 people from each team spoke the most, the rest all kept quiet. Have to admit, not really that fun. But the spokemen won the thing hands down cos they were able to beat around the bush and not reveal the facts that were not supposed to be revealed to the reporters and the reporters had like very little questions but in fairness, it’s harder to be a reporter.

My highlight of the day! Teatime! Wow, the crusty thing with the custard inside was….heavenly and the(mini)pizzas was delicious! I would skip the inspiring talks to eat all of that but of course I didn’t. Then there was the young changemakers talk, which was okok, not as interesting as the talk by Choo Peiling on the environment.hehe. Rebecca chaired that talk and Natalie chaired the other talk, they did a pretty good job =D.Oh ya, before the talk begin, we played a mini game with them(to fill up the time), the fish game that we played at our YA orientation, they seemed to like it a lot though.

After the young changemakers talk was lunch, the only highlight there was the curry + nuggets, the rest was normal.But over lunch, then I got to know that Christina knew Tiara(cos she sat beside me) “but you guys don’t look alike!”LOL.thats what people say when they found out that Frances and I are sisters in camp FLAG 3 years ago too. Then the talk on environment, the pictures are damn WOW and the music is pretty nice to hear. Q&A was pretty interesting too. Oh ya, can so totally tell that she was an sc girl.haha. Almost forgot about their project planning, the facilitators job was just to help them so we just went around and gave advice. The Cedar girls’ group wanted to do something about World Vision(overseas SL expedition) so I showed them my DREAMS 5 booklet to give them a better idea of what they can do. Pretty handy to have gone to something like this at a time like this, pretty damn grateful to have gone for it.HAHA.

BBQ! Plan A was to BBQ all the food outside then bring it inside. For the record, most of the facilitators were BBQ-ing the food and we were fine with it. But then we found out that Ms Ng’s plan was to let the girls BBQ themselves so we brought everything out but then it started raining so we brought in the food (again) and BBQ in the rain(it was quite fun though).By then, MOST of the food were finished BBQ-ing so it was okay. The facilis clean-up(by bringing the tables and benches etc) and dabao some food home and had debrief and took pictures.

Off Jie and I went to Whitley campfire, omg,Jie forgot that Whitley moved back to their Bishan campus so she thought we could drop off at AMK library but luckily 851 drop near Kamini’s house so we dropped at the stop where I always stop when I go to Kamini’s house. Then we ran all the way to Whitley and when we went there, Jie distributed her Otah spree and I found Andreas talking with Kelvin Leong, a MF rover. Then Lester,Yew Choon etc came over and said to Andreas “hello Ma’am” soo loudly that we could hear.haha. It finished pretty fast, was planning to go home with Gatsby Boy but their debrief was long so went home first.Btw, Chinhow really grew up!! While we were walking to the bus stop, heard from Andreas that we may combine campfire with the Scouts and either Jie or I become the chairperson.
