RCYU#8 Leadership Camp

It's over...*sniff*...Red Crescent Youth Unit #8 Leadership Camp 2007... Just got back from camp. It was a three day camp from the 18th of August to the 20th of August 2007. I was one of the camp committees and since the participants were not allowed their mobiles during the camp, I had to carry all 24 phones in my bag!!! Picture all that weight, carrying that amount around with you on your shoulders for 3 days!!! I'm too lazy to describe in words everything that happened during camp. I'll let the pictures do the talking although that's probably only 1% of what that happened in camp anyway. There were talks, games, post mortem, SAR, footdrill and etc, etc, long long list. Too lazy to blog it all down.

Me reading a book on inventions, attempting to stay up until 2.00am for Search and Rescue. That red bag, is the bag I used to dump 24 phones inside it. Oh yah, we slept in the library. (camp committee)

SAR (Search and Rescue) was fuuuuun. I always loved SAR. I was the ambulance in the scene, by that I mean, the person who brings the stretcher, first aid kit and blanket. While waiting for the participants to make a phone call to ask for an ambulance, I acted as a passerby. My job was to bug them. So, I went around the place singing Old MacDonald and yet I don't know the lyrics so all I sang was probably, "Old MacDonald had a farm. Eeyaheeyahyor!!!" over and over for prob more than a million times. I rapped as well and haha, I don't even know how to rap, I just rapped crap. I probably disgraced those hiphop people. Rofl. Then, I went around yelling "wood chuck chuck!!! How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood!!!" in the first aiders' ears. I went around poking casualties as well, asking stupid questions, and telling them stupid wrong methods to treat the casualties. Rofl. In short, I was a really annoying and loud passerby. That explains how my voice cracked the next day from all that shouting and only one hour of sleep. (SAR ended at 6.00am and I woke up at 7.00am)
