oh gosh i am nineTEEN, the final year in the teenage years, by next year i wouldn't be in the teens already and will be stuck in the oldies age, TWENTY where i'm neither a teenager nor a legal adult; in other words, facing a confused crisis. hohoho,speaking of birthday, i celebrated my birthday this year differently, at camp with 200+ campers & 20+trainers with me
not exactly an ideal birthday celebration for most people, but i'm quite cool with that considering i'm getting paid still.
it's all about the money baby!Thanks to everyone who sms/facebook/called me to wish me a happy birthday, my apologies for not reply most of them cos i was either too tired to reply back or i just plain forgot.
They say,one year older will make one one year wiser, and for this case, it holds true for me cos this camp was really an eyeopener to me as a trainer.
It was a real learning experience from observing my fellow trainers at work, with sheik being more of a mentor to me than a buddy and getting one of the most difficult classes was definitely a challenge for me.You could say i've learnt more about these kids but more importantly, i learnt more about myself and the things i have to improve on as a trainer. the so called leadership skills learnt back in school, though applicable, may not be as suitable for different people cos these kids aren't as obedient as most cedarians. and they are definitely more vocal and daring.
i guess i love this job not because of the money(puleez, compared to admin. jobs, the pay is nothing) but more because i love the outdoors and interacting with people. The opportunity to work with different people from different walks of life is refreshing as you do get to learn a lot from them and get differnt perspectives. The different types of kids and behaviour you get can prove to be challenging as you have to adapt to the different people and find methods that can immediately capture their attention. Well..i think this job is more challenging that having to memorise table no. and customers' orders but at least i'm loving it!:)
and i celebrated my birthday with a bbq leftovers from the kid's camp with a few peeps at 2am in the morning and later in the evening, i had a shisha date with my girlfriends:)
