Another year of children’s camp.
this time, I was a full-time facilitator. lol
as in, I was there the whole time and even stayed in the temple during the night with the kids.
3 days 2 nights if I didn’t remember wrongly.
It was a lil’ different from the other camps where the whole day is only about games games and games.
This one, we had all sorts of meditation, hymn singing, and other small small activities like how to cure headache, sea sick, etc etc.
As usual, started off with the registration, and allocation of rooms.
It started off with ice breaking, then sitting meditation
Sleeping meditation and walking meditation.
There’s this one activity where they give us a cup with the super thick condensed milk.
then the kids are asked to use a straw and try to suck the condensed milk.
and of course, it is difficult to do so.
and then, add in water to the condensed milk and stir it well.
They were asked to suck the thing again.
This time, it was easier.
Moral of the story is, water is very important to have a healthy life.
Left : to cure headache.
Right : I forgot what is it for @@
Facilitators (:
Puja as in chanting
and and, the proper way to eat every meal is to start off with a lil’ bit water, fruit, vegetable, meat/rice and finally the soup.
Right : Contemplation before and after meal. It is something like praying before and after meals.

then it was time for hymn singing.
he’s damn good in singing, playing musical instruments like piano and guitar and on top of all that, he’s kinda cute! =X
and then, the kids all lined up for his autograph.
because he was once a winner in some buddhist hymn singing competition.
Tho my final exam was few weeks away, it was all worth it.
