I.S.I.

21-23/12/2008
I attended a camp.
International FQ Camp, they call it as.
I thought it's only having courses, eat and sleep only.

But it's totally different when I was in there.


The teachers..
-kept our handphones, and other valuable stuff away from us.
-tell us that we only have 3 minutes to shower.
-want us, 80 people, to line up in 10 seconds' time, after the whistle is blew.
-one of us did a mistake, everybody received the punishment.

However, we upset them.
So these were what we get..
-1st level: Continuous star jumps, and the clap must be very synchronized, if not, do again.
-[didn't arrange our shoes properly] bite our shoes without our hands holding them, when the commander says "down", the timing of our shoes must be synchronized.
-[didn't clean up our fireplace properly] apply a "facial mask" on our faces. Ashes left in the fire place + water. not black enough? apply more.
-[some didn't dare to apply much "mask"] roll in the mud water. our shirt and pants must be 100% covered with mud. If not, continue rolling.
-2nd level: Bumping. Commander says "up", we come up; "down", push our bodies down. The "down" can be more than 10 seconds.
-3rd level: Bumping, but harder. Commander says "down", push our bodies down. But "up", we jump up and clap our hands and get back to "down" position.


The first day, we're very mad of the teachers.
The second day, we changed our thoughts. We started appreciating the teachers.
The third day, we were happy with the teachers.
...See the changes in us people?


We cooked our own dinner. We need to find our own firewood.
They only provided us matches, the thing to raise the fire,food, knife, pan, 4 plates, 2 pots and the sponge.

1st day- we didn't enjoy it much.
2nd day- we totally love this session.

We handmade our own keychains and sold them to people by ourselves.
We finally understand how hard our parents earn money.

We went to the handicap centres and interviewed those people there.
We understand how lucky we were to be a healthy person, living comfortably every day.

We went to the centre where those drug addicts were sent to remove their addiction.
We were showed to the process they make drugs.
We know that the material they use to make drugs are very poisonous, dangerous and YUCKY!!

We learned about Financial Quotient.
We learned how to plan before we spent.

Besides that, we learned to try the things we never ever wanna try.
We became braver.
We learned to be a good follower, before being a good leader.


Our lives changed.
Discipline turned us to another us.


We didn't regret how much punishment that were given to us.
Because they made us learn from our mistakes.


I,

and also our camp commander,
Mr. CS Wong.

Thank you so much.
