Yep so I'm back from my 2D1N camp at NACLI (National Community Leadership Institution) on Monday.

Previously I mentioned that I wasn't looking forward to the camp because stupid minor events would most probably ruin my mood, and yes they did happen and kind of ruined my mood.

But I did not regret going to the camp. I must say that I haven't been a really positive person but somehow during the camp I was really positive, I became patient with myself and with others despite having to restart over and over again for a few games.

I must say that communication, especially encouragement, is a really powerful tool that gives people the hope and willpower to overcome tasks that were deemed impossible by themselves due to lack of confidence and the obstacles they face during the process.

I believe all of us left NACLI with a more positive attitude and as a more confident person that we weren't initially before the camp.

I brought my sister along for the camp too and I'm really glad that she managed to get a long with everyone else. At the end of the camp, we were supposed to do a self reflection journal page and my sister titled her page as "family". I felt so touched. (:

The most memorable part of the entire camp would be the reflection sharing time with everyone. I volunteered to start first (which is something I suaully wouldn't do) and began talking about how much I value honesty and how I believe it would work to bring our YEC to be a stronger team. And I guess that kind of encouraged people to open up to the extend where people revealed their true emotions and cried.

It sounds quite exaggerating but it's true. This teambuilding camp, I would say it's a success because we walked being more bonded and felt more like a team. I hope in future when we organize events together, we'd be able to show such team spirit that we did during this camp. :D

End of my wordy post. Time for pictures!
