Too Much To Handle.

Too many things have happened. The Sec 1 Camp and the CCA Display Day just passed yesterday. Homework will forever rule the pile of work. My future is shrouded with fear. The blood that runs thru me is flowing with denial. And there is still too much to talk about.

The Sec 1 Camp was supposedly organised by the Panel Of Prefects, Saints' Sports Leaders and the A Few Good Men (AFGM). However, the Prefects had little to no reception towards the camp. Manpower wasn't only the problem around. The SSL's took the lead despite the fact that AFGM was supposedly in charge of camps. After all, the AFGM already had a camp themselves. But no one had any comment except for me. I can't just go on strike alone and neither I have the right to call for arms. Especially when the time is against us. In my honest opinion, with no hold on anything, I believe that the camp was not a total success. My grading system is measured on the amount of places that the planning team can improve on. And for that, this camp had a lot to improve on.

It was planned. But too little details. I won't say that it's under planned. Under planned refers to too little main ideas. Our camp plan is under detailed. Technically, there should be a system in planning but following it formally is not necessary. But the basic layout must be present. In our case, we didn't follow that. Everything was in a mess. The objective of the camp was not on our mind: To promote bonding in between classmates and students. Yes, games did their work. But that's on day 2. Far too late? What about the other area? Safety, manpower, activities, organization, participation? These are just some areas that we could improve.

Manpower is indeed limited. AFGM members were a short of by half. The prefects didn't even come. The organization was a real pain. Student leaders was not told specific details. (Under detailed again) Communication took a bad hit here because of this. Activities were plenty but not a lot to deal with. Safety and administrative work were limited but SJAB was there, a solution to the safety.

Yeah, there was nothing to compare it with. But still it could have ran a lot smother. The standard was just not there. But now a question remains, will it be better ran with me taking the lead? This is nothing easily answered. It's not the content of the camp that could make this possible. It's the people who we work with.

A team is always necessary.

But, nice work guys! From start to end. It's all done! : )
