When you feel what they say.
YES. I finally have something to blog about! it's quite sad to know that there is NOTHING that excites you. oh goodness me.
so anyway, Dance camp was fruitful and I WAS OVERWHELMED! i mean, it is the first time i've organised a camp. Though it was simple, it was sincere. I didnt thought it was good anyhow, so i was pleasently disappointed with myself for NOT doing it again.
however, there was a sudden want to blog hopped, so i hopped around my dancers' blog. and oh hell. i almost cried. The girls were very nice and it was truly sincere. No 'its really good. really' like helloo. every idiot knows you're just being nice. I believe the girls meant what they said, at least i do hope they are. I believe the one who gained the most isn't the campers, its the GGL (good-group-leaders) who learnt the most.
This lesson they've learnt is more expensive than going for a $900 course or a year or math. This lesson they've learnt is more valuable than your first kiss, or the first time you fell in love.
It has NO monetary value at all.
it's something that has quietly , almost unknowingly punctured in you. It made you grow up, in a sense that now, you analyse things better, you've learnt how to give way to other people although it makes no better to you. But still, you willingly do it, because you know you have to, I'm glad the girls learnt how to be responsible.
For example, allowing the campers to bathe before you do. Its clear cut and it comes naturally when you're the leader. However, on every normal day, would you allow some random junior of yours cut your queue at the drink stall? NO. you're never allow it. It's the magic that works in camp. that's why i love camps. it works magic!
As for me, the amount of things i've learnt is so tremendous i cannot put it in words, in fact, i do not know exactly what i've learnt. However, i am very positive that i've grown in 101 ways in less than 24 hours.
Who would have thought that I, hazel ang could be stressed over tidiness. Who would have thought that I could actually manage and juggle a camp with less than 10 helpers. Who would have thought that the camp would be successful even without much teachers help. so here's my thankyous :
WanRu: thankyou for being behind me, giving me an extra push when i fall. Thankyou standing by although you practically have no voice at all. I hope you've learnt as much as i did. :D

You're not just that laid back happy-go-lucky girl. you do care. you do care for the weak and those who needed more attention. thankyou!
