Yo people! This is the very first time I actually own a blog!!! I really don't know if I am really excited, but anyway, this blog is strictly for GP only,so no blabbering about the wrong stuff here...
Anyway, just to give a short introduction about myself. I'm a girl ( just turned 17 not long ago! ) with a great family, great school and you may say a great life too! Up till now, I'm still ordinary just like any 17 year-old. Hobbies like listening to my MP3 and chatting on MSN applies to me! But I still have to admit that I do go overboard sometimes, so for now, I'm trying desperately to change my bad habit of being hooked to watching Youtube videos. I won't say much about my personality here, as I feel that people who know me well would already be quite prepared to use a whole list of adjectives to describe me. So there, people who want to know more, please feel free to ask around!
I can say that at this point of time, while I'm typing this entry here, I'm actually praying hard for tomorrow's result, which determines if I get to stay in ODAC or not. When I first joined ODAC, I was really new to all the different skills, which others from uniform groups already learnt. To me, it was a long process, trying to memorise the different knots and lashings. We also learnt how to do orienteering, pitch a tent, rock climbing and bouldering. But best of all, I managed to try a hand at kayaking! Being a lover of the water, I simply love indulging myself in any water activities. Be it swimming or kayaking, I just love the feeling of water against my skin. So that's the reason why i was extremely excited about going for the kayaking course. But of course, I not only picked up all these skills mentioned above, I learnt several life lessons in which not many people would have picked up in their entire lives. Perseverance has always been one of the many values I treasured dearly. The fact that I was an ex-cedarian further explains why perseverance is one of my key-values ( perseverance can be found on our cedar badge! ). There are also many other important values like team-work, compromising, being organised and planning beforehand.
Through this short period of 3 months, I have come to realized that the activities that i have gone through in ODAC has been really enriching and an eye-opening experience for me. During the selection camp which was from 23rd - 24th march, I can proudly say that I put in my best effort for the camp. Whether or not I get chosen to continue in ODAC, I must still thank ODAC for giving me this new once-in-a-lifetime chance of experiencing the outdoors in a whole new light. Thank you for giving me memories that can last me a lifetime, memories which I can look back and smile at. So that's all for now, folks! See ya soon! =)
