Xianyue Camp

i guess no one wants to blog cos there's nothing for them to blog. n why nothing for them to blog? cos either they are out of xianyue, or they are in but not doing anything in xianyue.

i shall be blunt and straightforward in this post.

i mus first apologise for using this blog as a place where i can shout out loud, but wat im gonna shout is of concern to xianyue, hence i c some bits of relevance for this post to be here.

as wat jiankai said, my flame has gone down, and the burning passion is quickly dissolving. as wat i said, im tired.

its been a long road since the day i joined this co. n im tired, bcos its tiring for someone to continue shouting when nobody hears.

i guess tis post will seem v irrelevant to anione looking at it rite now, cos the meaning behind this is not in the words, but between the lines.

i haf come to blog about the Xianyue Camp 2005.

it was the greatest challenge in my seventeen years of life. it showed alot to me, n i learnt alot, as i haf mentioned before. the amount of emotional and spiritual struggle within oneself, the amount of thickness the layers of ur face can make up of, the amount of happiness,sadness,disappointment,aghast,frustration,endurance,relief one can ever feel mixed up tgther, the camp haf provided me the excellent chance. n more i fear. for i noe that thru this camp, some part of me haf disappeared. i noe that this camp haf made me tired. i noe that this camp, altho it might not change anyone else, haf certainly changed me alot.

my tots n views on the camp goes along wif that for the current hcco and mayb even some of the old tchsco that i was in. for me, the hols haf been a "co" hols, thanks to the Xianyue Camp, budden, since i learnt so much, i din regret spending my time.

i wont say im not disappointed,angry with anyone. cos thats not the truth. i considered typing every bloody name on this site, but, life haf to go on. let not the names be eternally screened, so that i may forget what hatred n anguish i haf bore during the preparation for the camp. hope that pple will change, n life will seem happier, altho hidden underneath every smiling faces, there's alys so many that hides the sword in their heart.

i jus read zhengyou's blog. din noe wat the paricipants think about the camp, but now i do. the words that he used were heart-breaking, but the truth is said.im only sorry for the 15 odd pple that turned up, for the lousy organising, lousy planning, lousy schedule, lousy decisions, lousy.....its an irony. n to think that i imagined a camp so different as that of the Xianyue Camp 2005. the atmosphere. the people. the attitude. the activities. the team of organisers. me. different....out of the world. completely..unexpected?....im flipping thru my small little notebook....n realli. its terrifying. how so much haf not been done. how so mani haf not yet been said. how so .much.

i see it!!! i see it!! so many! give me! give me a team, give me a camp....i will do it. i am very sure i will do it. i can do it. i haf the ability...n now i noe y i cried on that day.

becos it failed.

simple but hard truth. im proud to c myself able to admit it. for it may look v easy for anione of u out there reading this blog, but no, its not for me. esp when u haf no one to look for. esp when all directions u face onli blank, expressionless faces look back at u. esp when ur frens wan to help but duno how to bcos they haf nv experienced this before. i nv blame them.

its a torture. if i haf been anione of my unenthu hcco-mates organising, i will haf died. realli. at least go crazy.

my parents tot i was crazy......

can u believe it, when u haf to resort to discussing the camp wif ur family? do u noe how many times i yelled at my family mems, zhengyou? when i haf no one to yell at too. u noe how it feels, dun u? u noe how it feels rite? but at least u haf bong rite?...n do u noe how bad it was when i regain my conscious aft yelling?when u realise tt u jus did sth to someone that is NOT responsible for ani of the shit that u r doing? that is totally out of their business. n its ur family. try it. it hurts.

i was stressed. right since duno when, before promos.i din realise it, until one day when i asked my bro for help, n he gave me a blunt ans without thinking cos he was busy. he haf a life. i was anguished, angry. i tot he jus din care. n i shouted...n den he asked me one ques calmly "are u stressed?" n i said, "yes". that was the time when i realise the camp was taking up my life. i was blind..

u c, nobody can realli understand wat the small frog in the well is saying, bcos everybodi is up there looking down at it. even if he/she listens to wat the frog croak, the onli thing he/she can feel is the frog's tone. not the frog's heart. it doesnt hurt when u noe pple dun understand. it hurts when u noe pple think they noe they understand. when actually wat they understand is bullshit. atleast some of them.

the notebook is cool.i din noe i had so mani plans for the camp.now i can safely say that the participants of xianyue camp 2005 haf onli gone thru 5% of the dreamed xianyue camp 2005. at first i tot it was 10%. but i was wrong....pple who flipped thru the notebook, often read the diary part. they missed the big part..the planning one. bcos they think these parts are not important. bcos its all over the place. but ironically, the important parts are all around.

i guess in the end, it was realli "eventless", huh?

it is my fault.i started the camp, i destroyed it wif my bare hands. as wat i haf told zhengyou and dayang during the stayover, "this camp is an extra. it is an out-of-the-world,it is out of the cycle. bcos in the co world, in the jc life, nobodi haf ever heard of the 'Xianyue Camp' before. therefore its feared. pple fear the unknown. pple shun away. therefore its destined to be cancelled." in the end, it was not. but sadly to say, it has transformed into sth that i haf nv fathom before. it was not even a camp.

im not gg to bitch about the sls, those team of organisers that said they wanted to organise tis camp. i haf no one to bitch about. they haf their reasons in leaving, i haf my goal to reach. but i say that its my fault solely, for not making u all enthu about the camp, for not handling the planning, esp the venue and stuff, well. i haf tot thru it, n they leave bcos of me. or rather, my actions. hence i learnt this one impt lesson in the camp: nv blame others, blame urself first.i wont hide it, but y the camp turn out like this, 99% is bcos of a weak team of organisers.n i say this again, tat the fault lie solely on me.

i was too ignorant.

i din wan to go into this. in the past i used to think if u r strong enuff, nothing can stop u. i realise until now that, as i haf so painfully said in the camp, that u alys need help. whether issit physically, or emotionally. u need pple around u. to help. simply....to be around.

sometimes during the course of the camp, i will think that this is not "xianyue camp" but "ningfei's camp". i tot of that when i cancelled a meeting 2 am in the morn.n i felt cold inside out. cos tis was not wat i wanted it to be. altho many would haf believe so, IT IS NOT. n to hell to those who believe thus. bcos im not that kind of person. so dun use ur own kind of char to judge my char. i din want it to be lidat...n when i heard other sec sch pple saying "ur camp" "ningfei's poor thing camp" ...i duno wat to feel. its like pouring a truck of rubbish onto u. u all realli make me feel like im like an idiot....like i haf nothing beta to do. like im doing some spa service for u all...like im a servant. like im nothing. n a nothing is organsing sth,.....so who cares???? who cares to attend something so unimportant? i respect ur decision n choice in coming or not, but i despised ur attitude. u may go ahead n think that the camp is rubbish, i wont mind, but u haf no right to push evething to me when u duno the details. altho its my fault, u duno WHY its my fault.

n thus i start to hate these people.

but, it was a miracle for me not to rebut or retaliate. i learnt to keep low. n remember. rmb those faces, or names, or reps of schools, that haf in one way or another lost their basic form of human nature. n i will remember...unconsciously no doubt, but i will remember...

sadly, thats wat i told myself. to remember! dun forget those bastards! those evil-faced foul-tongued people! dun forget the cold-hearted world, the brain-washed ultra-conservative society, the stupid excuses that pple made up jus to avoid joining the camp! dun forget them!...but no. onli a child thinks that. life will go on...may this be the last time i tokked about them. bcos from now on they are strangers to me.

"even if there are 100 pple who haf shown evil, n 1 person who haf shown kindness in the process of preparing the camp,i will onli rmb the 1 person, bcos onli he/she is worth remembering."

i think i haf spoken enuff.i apologise for using this blog to shout.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

i jus took a break. to forget about the evil human nature that we all haf -- to hate. bcos im gonna thank pple now, n i dun wan to bear the "to hate" heart to thank pple.

ok. i shal start to thank:

the Singapore Soka Association. whom i owed so much so much for. haha u participants may not feel it, not even siu hon or weiyang, cos u all wasnt in contact with them at all before the camp..i did. n their politeness and kindness realli awed me. i mean, who would haf cared for a bunch of co guys gathering around and having a camp? which organisation will lend the place for us to use? n besides that, the sleeping bags, the laptop, the projector....the keyboard, the milo powders, the utensils....i realli duno how to thank them. at least for my whole life i wouldnt forget the SSA.even if u may not see this, miss wong n miss tan, but i sincerely thank you from the bottom of both the camp's heart and my heart.

i realise i owe alot of pple for this camp...

to the two who were two pillars of moral support for me during the organising of the camp:

vera (TJC): yup altho u were a substitute for the comm mems u proved more than that! appreciate the times when u called to discuss the camp ...n for finding the sponsors n writing to the organisations, introducing to them about our camp....n of informing 3 sec schools n ur own tjc school, n of publicising the camp until like to other schools that i dun even noe got co....den to ur frens too (yea u got realli alot of co contacts)...n thx esp for urging ur tj section mates to go!!! heard from weiyang wat u did la....i often wonder how one tt is not attending the camp n not previously involved in the camp can be so enthu n persistent in asking pple to come.....oh well. u r one exception.aniwae mus mus mus thank you for the moral support...err ya cos u somehow replace the SLs that were leaving one by one....n sori haf to trouble u wif the camp stuffs....arr. duno wat to say. jus thx!

n lastly, but mostly, to the four of u,whom without which the Xianyue Camp 2005 wouldnt haf been possible, literally:

my two frens cum helper cum camp-mates:

siu hon (nyjc): dude! alys so dudedy....yup u were the onli one left out of all the original 9 organisers, n i thank u for staying n helping out. more importantly, for being "alone" in the camp, for most of the participants are either from the same outside orch or same school or jc. u are realli the most out...dun mind me say. but haha u stayed on thru-out the 3 days, i duno how n why, but jus thx for transporting all the food, for lending ur gaohu (dragon head) n erhus, for copying fenpus, for tokking cok to me n weiyang, for insisting on helping out instead of having fun in the camp with the participants, for trying to cheer the whole mood up, the whole atmosphere up, for bon-ning me...for having fun with us, a bunch of strangers! esp for helping out in the station games....u noe...the hard work n such. for listening to wat i asked u to do during the camp, altho u haf no obligation to do so. alot bah...for informing too ur 4 section mates, for pulling in pple to come n help...mus say sori for ani mood swings that i had during the camp,n for ani rude things i said. cos again: i was stressed.haha.yup if got another time,dun mind being helpers with u again! n keep that xianyue spirit up for as long as u can!

weiyang(tjc): haha. i DIN expect u will help THAT much.haha. u din seemed that keen to help in the first place. but i was glad that u helped out. yea u were the excellent kitchen boy....all washing/making of bread/preparing of stuffs/ haha u auto will go do one.den got anithing will ask me if nid to do....woa realli thx alot for helping out! altho in the first place u werent even supposed to do anithing at all!....like i jus asked u whether u can helped out onli days before??? n haha thx for everything i haf said up there, plus esp the tokking cok sessions....n ya u are a bloody direct person cannot tahan hahaha.alrite n thx for urging me along during the camp to keep on to schedule when i was losing faith in everything...i guess everyone can see i was huh. but u keep asking me to go on to the next activities...haha my indecisiveness realli v bad ....okok. yup jus thx for being one of the lonely 3 pple doing all the hard work behind the camp!!!

yep hope all 3 of us can team up tgther again, this time to organise a v successful camp!

im gg to die....blardy tired!!....budden. on to the last two whom im eternally grateful for:

zhenming (our dear chairman of HCCO!): THX! i knew u were bloody tired, both physically and mentally. u were v stressed too. even during the camp, calls for appeals n such...u were v busy, yet u gave ur best for the camp! n i noe being a group leader is v hard,im jus grateful that u n zy can so successfully bring up the mood on the first day! not onli for this, but for the silent support that u gave me for the camp, both as a fren and as a section-mate, im sori that i cant discuss the details of the camp to u, partly bcos i din wan to trouble u, partly bcos there jus was too much to say!!n yea, ur support meant alot, n esp thx for understanding how i felt when nobody wana come for the camp, n nobody wana come for the concert. tis kind of thing, is not use mouth say say onli....can feel one.n u realli helped out bcos of ren qing....so...yup i owe u a big one.ur trouble wif current HCCO, got anithing tel me! i wil do the utmost i can....

zhengyou (my junior cum decessor):heheh.its realli an irony...that time when i was about to cancel the camp? the day b4 i wanted to call soka n cancel the venue...budden there was the stayover. n i tot, mayb somebody will change my mind? cos i wasnt 100% confirm tt i will cancel it, i was 95%. n the onli person that i tot of that could change my mind was u. n haha, u succeeded and the camp went on! altho it wasnt as wat i had expected, but thx so much for saving the camp! n of cos, not to mention the numerous night talks that we had, which would relate to the xianyue camp no matter wat (the clarke quay, the chinatown) yupsss. u were both a physical n moral support, for u helped in contacting pple (helped alot!) n ya dun think i dun appreciate it but jus that....haiz.guys are liddat.n i realise that, the lu zhengyou of sec 2 - 3 is quite diff from that of sec 4! haha.improvement indeed. both the mind n heart.u should noe wat i mean. ok mus say sorry here for yelling at u twice, once over the phone, the other on the 2nd day. both were stressed, sure u understand. but i jus dun wan u to haf an impression of me yelling jus bcos im stressed, i dun yell whenever im stressed. i yelled at u cos i needed somebody to hear me. budden. ya i guess its my fault that everything happened. felt quite bad aft i yelled on the 2nd day, cos u realli haf no responsibility watsoever in the camp, hell i onli asked u weeks before? or days. n ur group leader post is hard i noe, esp with so litt pple, n with the weak activities n planning from us organisers. u try to understand wat im gg thru, but hell, nobody can, so jus wana say thx for jus trying to understand...mayb when u haf gone thru all this, den u will noe? budden, u wouldn't haf to go thru all this, cos Xianyue Camp 2005 haf alr been organised and carried out.....thx for everything. from spending time to contact, to understand, to being a group leader, a fren, n a support. without u the flame of xianyue camp would haf been blown out a long time ago, but u reminded me of my past years in chsco....that youth who had guts. well. dare to think of the impossible, as i haf repeated so mani times.u asked me to storm out everything the night before the camp, to shout everytthing out...so that the next day during the camp, i would be the happy me, cos u dun wan to c a depressed or pissed me organising a camp rite? but in the end, i still did mood swings rite? i still wasnt able to compose myself enuff....n still stone around, still pull a sad face. well for all that u n zhenming haf been trying so hard to make pple laugh, here i am to make pple sad wif my pissed look. i dun blame u for blaming me. i blamed myself too.budden. yup.i haf learnt thru tis ...

i am tired. its 6.10am. i started typing at ....2am??? 4 hours!!! the longest post i ever write before!!!

the no. of "thx" and "!" in this post is far more than all those i haf used in my previous posts...

i haf given hell lot for this camp. thanks to those who took it.this will be the last time i give to Xianyue Camp 2005.from now on life will return back to normal for me, no pursuing of venues, no running to principal's office,no having to do proposals late at night alys at the back of my mind, no running to com lab to do proposals during lunch breaks, no walking aimlessly around home thinking of games to play, no staring into space and visualing how the camp will take place, no taking out of my small little black notebook to jot down ani ideas that came into my mind, no contacting of pple that i duno, no asking SLs when are they free for meetings, no perfecting my english in the parental consent forms, no having to stand up for all the camp costs, no breaking down bcos of the stress...

no Xianyue Camp. the out-of-the-place camp that no one noes.

or issit???....

Xianyue Camp 2006......anyone?
