ON ARTS CAMP HEHE
I amaze myself sometimes on how much I still feel for Arts Camp, even after all these years. Haha.
Listening to Julie & Michelle describe their Pre-camp experience the other night just brought back so many memories again.
Hope things turn out well for the camp. =) Mistakes ll definitely be made along the way, but its how the Com reacts, its flexibility, adaptability, leadership, ability to handle pressure, n how it listens to proper advice that ll steer the camp towards success.
The worst thing to do as an O com member (I think) is to succumb under pressure, flare up, & throw yr temper around, esp to the councilors & freshies. That is quite suicidal. Win over the respect & trust of the councilors and house ICs, and I think 1/3 of the job is done. Lose them, and no matter how zai yr program or admin is, it wont make a happy camp.
Which means it is also v v impt for MC members & O Commers to reach down to the ground level & mix/ interact as much as they can, after covering their respective duties. And yes, psycho more potential zai freshies to run for Arts Club in future hehe.
Speaking of freshies, I popped by the Arts Camp blog site, and continue to be amazed by some of the questions that these 21 year males ask. Gosh. Got 1 chap dare to say "I hope I dun sound too himbo but I hope ppl second me!". Well, I think u just answered yr own hope haha. Eh, think going for Mt Everest Expedition ah? heh.
Anyway, I wont be surprised if its an impostor as well. I rem last time got cases whereby other fac seniors go around other camps' websites n act as freshies, purposely li xiao-ing others. Oh well.

On a separate note, I think my T3 boss Cheng Nam is really zai. Very people-oriented, and really make people under him to feel happy working for him. Haha.
I think I found a leader whom I really respect & whom I can really give my best for. =)
And again, I m really thankful for having Miriam as my assistant. Even though she's also relatively new, but she's extremely hardworking, willing to learn, and has a fantastic attitude. In fact, she reminds me of Meiyi when she was Hon Gen in yr1 haha.
Can really feel a very strong team spirit here in T3 Ops, which makes going to work everyday so much more pleasant & enjoyable!
Goodnite world!
