There is this Stand Up Camp organised by Southeast CDC under the Y2Y network. It spread over 3 days from friday to saturday...
i was like... omg! my weekends are GONE-D!!! just immediately after the harrowing blocktests.
It was a camp that emphasizes how important the issues we STAND UP FOR, and how we CAN make it come true. of course mine is : I stand up for the protection of the environment! haha! I attended with an open heart on friday at 4pm. The initial introductory briefings put me through a real struggling situation.
It just felt like shattered glass from a broken string, my tears flowed out of my overpouring eyes. Upon listening to the committment and effort i got to invest into this project. Its superb for SGC, its an excellent learning platform for me, but it was all simply Too Much for me to take I let everything out the moment i emerged from the room... ...
I was too detached, i was too stressed i forgot the hug my good friend limsoewhwee gave me in that split moment...
I know why i had cried. because this project is too impactful on me, but i just couldnt give anymore. its sad.

Today,
my takeaway from this 2nd day of camp is beyond anything i can learn from my school or the so-called outdoor learning. we began the day by designing our own tshirts with fabric crayons and pens!!! so nice! The organiser, my newfound idol, choreographed a drama performance for us!!! it was not like i had expected, in groups we would create a skit... She planned it for us, all we had to do was to carry it out with the precise emotions!! Do you know how much i had enjoyed through this process? This classy... Got-standard process! well, i'm simply awed with every act, every action that my idol (Nadia) extracted outta us.
In the closing scene, the two groups of people got together. we took turns to recite lines. Lines that impacted, lines that spoke truth. Lines that made my eye well upon reciting.
An honour i have in performing for an MP and fellow audiences in Marine parade community centre tommorow.
And i'm gonna miss this feeling.
This clause i so much believe in-


Stand Up and Stand Out.
Change begins with you.
Big dreams start with little steps
The voice of truth
Make a difference
Be somebody
Save the world
Don't give up on me
Come out of the dark
It only takes a spark
To get a fire going (omg! thsi phrase from my girlguide song!)
Dare you to move
We're all in this together
How many times can a man turn his head
Pretending not to see
How many dreams are left for dead
You could be happy
What about now?
Teach me how
Open you eyes, undo the seams
Share the love, i have a dream

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But
I'm not the only one.




and i wished mum and dad and my best friends could see me perform tomorrow. In the save-the earth shirt i have designed with my own hands and heart. To see the possibilities, and the magic they can bring.
