Dear Herrick,
Although a little solemn at times, i'm glad you brought up the problems you faced when handling your classmates, as it has given the other group members some insight on class leader roles, and it has given me a good feeling to be able to fulfil my role as an instructor! =)
I hope you have generally enjoyed the camp, and will be able to take something back to your class. Good luck with your classmates and thank you for being a part of this camp.

yep that's what my newfound friends and also our one and only beloved instructor had to say! everyone wrote for everyone else. ah. the memories. never will forget.

hmmm..first of all i noticed bing zhao and wei qiang called me HENRICK. haha..never mind, i saw it coming too..well good old andy thought my name was henrick for 2 whole years(still counting the years now ahahahaha). and wei qiang said i'm muscular? huh..no lor..i don't go gym to train or anywhere else to train on my own..deceived by my fats huh...hahahah..it's my bones la..my ribcage is somehow super expanded..i wonder why too..it's because of it being too heavy that i can't do pushups..okie who cares about my anatomy..

then the thing about handling kids well..okie la our group had 4 guys 4 girls, i could say i smiled the most for the guys..so maybe they were friendly towards me. i remember not saying anything at all, but quite some kids were shouting my name..herrick kor , or eric kor..and i didn't even talk to them at all. but i smiled at them yup. rowdy bunch, but all so lovable!! before we went there, when i was informed that we were doing our service learning on children, my reaction was a dull 'oh no.' but it changed during and after the day out to labrador park. i sort of felt guilty initially, cos i was rather stiff and didn't do much and interact with the children. all cos my contacts were giving me lots of trouble.when it couldn't take the pain anymore, i went to the washroom to get it out and in again, i discovered it had folded. owchhhh....sakitttt... so when i put it back in again, it slowly got better. after a while i discovered a few kids who could be described as the eldest among the group, about primary 5 level children, happily engaged in some conversation. they saw that i was there, so tried to talk about things to pull me in. yep , what i did was in relation to what i heard them say, responded in a strong chinese accent, " O, ni yao wo zjer dian shiao err qu sie mao cher?" haha..then we were soon on our way to more lame stuff..it was raher easy to connect with them, as they were all boys anyway..haha..i dun really know how to handle girls, and of cos girls would do a better job right. the guys talked to me about geylang, prostitution, women, sex, erm..yea...all ill-influenced me. of course i had to respond to them sometimes, but i made sure i was much more innocent than they were. then even easier, what i did was tease this guy, saying he was Ru Hua. that did it. more kids were pulled into the convo, and all were laughing at each other, talking about that actress and her antics..haha..easy wasn't it..though it was not healthy stuff they talked about..

nikki and i went to the trek, while the other group members were in charge of games. initially i had thought there was going to be lousy response, but i saw all my so-called 'fan club members' all coming along, so we had about 30 kids eventually? then we climbed up the stairs in labrador, it was very tiring for the kids actually. walked a bit and we saw a cannon. i had to explain what a cannon was and what it did to a few interested children. which i was too happy to do! yep and we saw a small 20 cent coin- sized frog. animals never fail to fascinate young audiences. before that, the kids happily tortured a bloody millipede and all that. then as we walked we saw cannon shells and bronze sculptures of british soldiers loading the shells into the cannons. yep then i explained why the shells were there and why that battery was there. then we came to a board describing a tunnel nearby which was unfortunately closed. advancing our positions, we came to a couple of boards. they described all that one needed to know about the fort there. the kids asked a lot of questions, and my was i happy. coming out of the trail, we came to a map, on which there was a sign showing 'dragon's teeth gates'. they had learnt quite a bit about it in their chinese text i reckon, and asked me all about i. i explained to them about how zheng ho camed about 500 or 600 years ago, and when he came he saw them marking the entrance to singapore's harbour. now, due to wind and water (erosional agents that is) the portions above the sea were blasted to bits, and i explained to them that all that may be left is just that stump they can't see left. moving forward, there was a slab of rock that appeared in the middle of the forest cliff. i explained the formations to them again, and they were really fascinated to know more. all the kids bombarded me with questions; i could only answer a few. that trek was very fulfilling for me, as i had used both my geog and history knowledge and generated a lot of interest in the children for knowing more about the country we live in. i wonder how nikki did, i think she was just more focused on leading the entire 'expedition'. she was the other protagonist for the girls' side. i dunno if the kids called her piaoliang jie jie or what, but it was only when i got back that i realised the kids had been calling me handsome korkor. hmmm. my groupmates told me so. i know that a lot of kids had been shouting that name throughout, but i ignored them as i thought they were calling another mate. haha..wei qiang was labelled shu dai kor..oh my...the kids are mean..

i shall continue another day..very tired..thoughts disjointed..lousy english..hmm nikki said my eyes are nice..all the girls on our team wore specs, but she wore contacts..so vain..then all the boys on our team wore specs, but...erm...nothing..haha..
