Kenneth (Macho Man)

What did you learn?

Well I have learnt to give better briefings and debriefings to others now. I'm more courageous in clarifying doubts by asking questions instead of just keeping quiet and smoke my way through any activities. Learnt that everyone in the committee plays an important role in the camp. If anyone of us are unable to complete the task, the rest of the committee have to do extra work to finish things up.

The most memorable event in the LTC is the late night meetings. To be honest, I couldn't really process anything that goes in my head during the meetings on the first night because I was too tired but seeing everyone being as tired as I am, I feel that I had no excuse and decided wake up and pay attention to details which are important to the next day's activities.And the final session where you can see how the campers have changed from those shy/quiet dunmanites to those outspoken and enthusiastic leaders! Seeing the process of how they are slowly cultivated to become leaders is what makes this camp most memorable to me.

What did you learn?

I learnt how to properly tie the fishermen's knot, clove/half hitch and square lash. I also learnt how to brief and present more effectively as well as how to better manage time/stress in the face of a very stressful time. To top it all up, I learnt how to lower a flag :D

For me, the most memorable event would have to be during the second rotation of sea activity (with Rubino and Amenthyst). Their enthusiasm, friendly jokes, and the eventual success of the raft left a deep impression on me, probably because I was reminded of my LTC Group (Leo) the year before.

Sea Act



Sea Act does not have any dirt secrets.... I think :D


I would like to take this chance to thank my department AICs Shu Ya and Mandel for being there for Sea Act even when our IC Seng Cheong went MIA. The two of them have really given us the motivation, the inspiration and to a certain extent, the relevant scolding to ensure that everyone in Sea Act gives nothing but their absolute best. Lastly, would like to thank my teachers for giving me this opportunity to continue serving the school in this very special and meaningful way.

What did you learn?

Hanging the Instructor lanyard down my neck for the 9th time, not only do I look forward to imparting what I have learnt thus far and sharing what Dunman's servant leadership culture is all about, I love coming back for the people - both new and old. As much as I wanted to work at a more intimate level as a FA, being back as GA I/C did allow me to hone the skills of the Sec 3 leaders and new main comm members at a higher order of creativity, preparatory work, organizational skills, ability to be forward-looking and seeing the bigger picture.

I‟d best remember LTC2012‟s Campfire Night amongst many others I‟ve attended, mainly due to the variety in programme and involvement of group volunteers and FAs (many thanks to the MCs!). But especially because of the way the night ended with the Mass Dance and everyone got together in a great circle to slow-groove to the final emo song of the night! Showed the true LTC spirit consisting of the campers, subcomm, subcomm of LTC2011, the alumni and the teachers.

Bonus question: Name one dirty secret from your

EVERYONE IN THE DEPARTMENT DID NOT SHOWER ON THE FIRST NIGHT. AND WE ALLLL HAVE A MAJOR CRUSH (inc. Man Crush) ON ONE OF THE THREE CHIEFS. *winks


Farhan and Jolene for contributing and willing to explore and push boundaries of the many activities and plans we had during the Proposal phase. Their charisma and hardworking nature brought out the best of what GA had to offer. Very strong main comm I was blessed with!Though randomly assigned, I couldn't have asked for a better subcomm than Yanru, Zul, Jialing, Preeta, Xin Yi! Full of ideas, willing to learn, highly adaptive to changes and have grown so much in being more in control and vocal about their thoughts and actions. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH GUYS!

Raj GA

Farhan

What did you learn?

Throughout the camp I think I learnt to always look at the bigger picture, and start making decisions on my own, that will benefit the whole camp. Also, to not be afraid to change things or try something new as I know now that change is sometimes for the better :)

The most memorable has to be having the campers come up to me and thank me for the little things, like belaying them, and saying how they enjoyed synergy or night activity etc. It really made me feel satisfied with myself, GA dept, and LTC! I think seeing that the campers appreciate what we do and to see how much they grow is most memorable.

GA



HAHAHA the only secret about the GA dept is that.......... WE ARE AWESOME. and that's the truth ^^ HAHAHA


I want to thank Raj for being such a great dept IC. Me and Jolene learnt so much from him, it‟s unimaginable, really. I want to thank the advisors (Shao Jie, Jiang Li, Yong Zheng, Senior advisor mentor Wei xin HEHE) For their support and encouragement, asking us to step up all the time. AND all the instructors for helping out in all the GA events in camp. It was successful cause all of us played our part, so thanks!

What did you learn?

I've learnt that confidence is very important in every part of life. With confidence, we can make do with what we have; such that problems encountered may even become things that help improve the original idea. Skills like making decision on the spot and reacting to problems impromptu are also being learnt during this LTC journey.

The most memorable event in LTC would be the Night Activities planned by my department! I can never forget how SiHui was being tortured by instructors JiangLiand WeiXin right in front of my eyes. I remembered I even supported the idea of letting them draw on SiHui's face. I feel so sorry for SiHui because at that point of time I really don't have time to get anyone else to help her with her cat's makeup. So yes, thanks SiHui for the "sacrifices" made. This rare funny experience with the older instructors was indeed memorable!

I learnt that when there is a time limit we should just use the time given, no more no less. I also learnt that 2 1/2 hours of sleep is NOT enough for anybody! I learnt to take initiative when people ask for volunteers.

The most memorable thing for me is morning when we were punished by Jiang Li.

I want to thank Raj, Jolene and Farhan cause they were always there for me and that they guided me and my dept! We wouldn't be such a successful dept without them! XD I want to thank the Orienteering ICs for their faith in me. I hope I didn't let them down! :)

I learn a lot of things during LTC..Like learn to be a better leader, belaying during High elements, learn time management and more..Not only that, it increases my confidence more when speaking and more...My discipline and responsibility gets more and higher..Improve a lot of things but there are still room for improvement.

The most memorable for me was the High elements because it was my first time belaying and its tiring but persevere makes me better .Also, the pumpings because it was during a learning point for us..all our mistakes were put into punishments to make us learnt something.

QM



MY DEPARTMENT : WE ARE AWESOME AND WE KNOW IT!!! XD


I would like to say thank you to My IC Nurhuda because she teach us how to do things, how to handle them like the equipments ,the proposals and others..Without her, I would not succeed because she told us everything that we need to know, sometimes she would keep quiet to give us hint that maybe we did something wrong or not.

Hmmm, I think I learnt to eat faster during LTC because when we have washing point duty, we have to eat like mad and get to the washing point before the campers do. If we don't they'll destroythe washing point and we'll get punished because we were not there to supervise them.

The most memorable event during LTC was belaying the campers! Yay! I really enjoyed belaying them because 1) it's really fun2) I like encouraging people3) I get to feel this sense of pride for the campers when they overcome their fear(s) and/or complete the activity

The campfire night was the most memorable event in LTC for me. I am sure there can never be a cooler campfire than this. I‟m NOT joking. What's more fun than having everyone dancing together as one?!?!?!

I would like to thank Instructor Hector who had help me greatly during Orienteering at the Unexpected Mission. We were behind time and the groups had to be gathered at the playground. To be honest, I find it chaotic, and in my mind it was chaotic. However, Hector got things organised like almost immediately. Really grateful for his help from the very start till the very end of Orienteering. The way he reacted to the situation really hit me that there is still a long way for me to go!

I learnt that team effort is really important. Try to plan a whole camp like LTC alone :O all of the instructors really made an effort to put aside our differences, learn and work together and I truly believe that is what makes a good leader. GO LTC!!! And I am so proud I know how to tie knots and stuff like that, feel so much more OUTDOORY (i know that isn't a legit real word). hmm.. sleep was already important to me from the start.

HAHAHA The fire drill. All the campers were like O.O in the middle of the night. But I felt that the fire drill did carry a lot of importance and that the incident had actually discipline the campers a lot more and sped up their sense of urgency. YAY. GO FIRE DRILL!!! and we did do pumpings after the drill. Where can you experience fire drills? ONLY IN LTC... and during a fire... of course.

Ori



HAHAHAH of course Gim Ann (no I do not have a crush on him) for being super supportive and nice and treating us to lychee ice cream. Antony and Meiyee for always taking care of us and being our supporting pillar too! Tian for always being the mature one (BUT I KNOW YOU GOT A CHILDISH SIDE TO YOU), Kang for always helping us compile WORK and being the 2nd mature one, Amos for OMG YOUR FAT EZLINK THAT MADE ME LAUGH IN SUBWAY SO BADLY, Xie Chao for the "SOARING, FLYING" and always making us laugh and Christin for being so FUNNY and witty and cute "pick a packet of" HAHA. I think I exceeded the 100 word limit. /: BUT I CANT END HERE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE TO THANK (I feel like the Grammy's award receiver). The other departments and instructors for doing such a good job! The teachers for coming back and buying us ROTI PRATA.

Orienteering dept, super funny and witty people inside who always make fun and bully one another, actually we all just bully xie chao for his bad (OMG I CANT EVEN TYPE THIS FINISH BECAUSE I AM LAUGHING SO BAD) pronunciation. We have super smart and creative ways of doing things, the smart and creative one is me, the doing things is them, KIDDING. I really love my dept for always working hard and playing hard but we play most of the time... WHO IS EVEN GOING TO READ MY REFLECTION? IT IS LIKE AN ESSAY. okay yeah I exceeded the word limit again I think. I FEEL SO FUNNY TYPING REFLECTIONS, LIKE I AM TALKING TO MYSELF, in my head, OH GOSH. MYSTERIOUS MAN OF GOOGLE WHO IS READING THIS, I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!

What did you learn?

For me, I think that I must always remember to think carefully first before I say anything. There are times like during debriefing, giving out instructions when I suddenly forget what I wanted to say or maybe I just stutter on my words and talk rubbish. HA. Another skill I learnt is that I know how to belay! It is so cool, though I'm still not sure with the figure-of-8 rethread.

I think that the most memorable event is the high elements componet. Seeing the Sec 2 leaders overcoming their phobia , failure and giving their all really makes me feel touched and proud of them. Additonally, it also makes me feel honoured as we played a small part in improving their character development!

What did you learn?

I learnt so much things it's impossible to fit them all right here. But I'll try to pick a few. I benefited so much having gone through this camp and learning all the things that I wouldn't have learnt myself. For instance, the different knots for sea activity and high elements. I might not have realised it before, but now I know something that my siblings and most of my friends don't muahahah. That's something to be proud of. Apart from that, through all the adversity, I managed to flower and become a better leader; a better person. It's all the things that I pick up everyday in those four days from everyone around me, even the secondary 2 leaders, that made me grow this much. woots.

Personally, the most memorable event for me is the entire 4 days of camp from Day 0 all the way to Day 3. I learnt the most during those four days. Not only have I flourished as a leader, I've also flourished as a person. Not only that, it was those four days that brought the special bond that I have with the fellow sub-commscloser. This entire LTC, from our first meeting up till the last day of the camp, is, I must say, an experience like no other.

QM



department.

I don't think we actually have a dirty secret. But well. I do know something that the rest don't. My department might not be as bonded as the rest of the department is- given the nature of QM-but it doesn't matter. What is most important is we remained together up till the finale of LTC. We might not be the most appreciated department, but from behind, we get to smell the success of LTC. And be pleased with ourselves. And well, although the bond we hold is not that strong, a bond is still a bond.


I really want to take this opportunity to thank all the main comms from all the departments. I'm really grateful to all of you for all the assistance you have given me throughout the four days of camp. To my main comms, I really am gratified to the three of you for guiding me through this LTC journey. All of you were the ones who taught me the most and I really look up to you. If it wasn't for you, I, beyond any doubt, wouldn't have flowered as a leader.

What did you learn?

I have learnt to work with different types of people like people who are stricter, very serious in the work they are doing, people who do not put as much effort as others, etc. Sometimes, it may be hard working with them, instead of complaining, we should find ways to work with them to get the things done. I think this is a very useful learning point as I am sure next time in the workforce I will meet some people whom I do not like and because of that I cannot just stop doing the work required right?

To me, it is definitely the 100 pumpings, 50 crunches, 50 sets of jumping jacks and running around all in one shot. It's the first and last time I hope I will be doing such physical 'exercise'.

When I read this question, everything about LTC just come flowing through my mind. I think that LTC itself is the most memorable 'event'. Maybe, I could say that I flew while belaying...or maybe Jiang Li's punishment...and the apologising to campers on the last day for being irresponsible.

I think that firstly, I would like to thank my own department. they are the ones closest to me and we are bonded throughout the whole camp. however I will extend my thanks to everyone else including the campers as without them, there will be no LTC.

What did you learn?

I learn that we must all work together to have a successful camp. No one is a lone ranger and no one stands out as an individual. The success of the camp requires the effort and dedication of everyone and I believe without our main coms and all the organisers or planners, we would not give the campers an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.

My most memorable event in LTC is belaying people during the high elements activity. Being the first time belaying, I practically had a good go of how it is done and I had alot of fun doing it even though it might be tiring. The satisfaction it brings after I safely belay the person up and down the rope course or rock wall makes it a really enjoyable experience.

What did you learn?

I truly learnt the meaning of, "action speaks louder than words". That one's actions will truly inspire the young leaders-to-be, instead of one blabbering away with lots of words. A leader just have to prove it with actions. "Do it, Prove it, Don't just say it." There's no such thing as a NATO Leader.

It was definitely during ResiLANE, although it was super overran, I really felt the camp spirit and the energy oozing out from every trainee. The euphoria induced from the excitement from the campers really made me felt that this game was worth it - it was worth the time and effort and brain-cells killed to plan for it.

I guess my whole department will just suan one person, but I shall not add on to it. I want to say that someone in my department is scared of "BANG BANG BANG!" :D


Firstly, it would be my two lovely asst, Antony and Meiyee, who had been supporting me. Next, will be my subbies, for tolerating my "perfectionism" and killing much of their brain cells.

I've learnt to be a better leader and to step up more. I've also learnt to be more outspoken so that I can interact more with the campers. But the most important thing I've learnt is self-sacrifice, to put other's needs before yours.

Jiang Li's morning PT for sub-comms ;)

What did you learn?

I learnt how tiring belaying is, especially if you belay 6 people continuously. I also learnt that SLEEP, can make MIRACLES. 7 hours of sleep = A FULL DAY OF HYPERNESS AND RANDOMNESS :D

CAMPFIRE NIGHT. Best part, even though there was some hiccups here and there, I had fun emcee-ing as I could see that the campfire night brought smiles to everyone, teachers, instructors and campers (:

TOP SECRETRaj would always come 15 mins later than the time given (eg. meeting to do props at 1200, Raj comes at 1215)HAHAH IF YOU SEE THIS RAJ DON'T KILL ME xD


I would like to thank my department ICs for being AWESOMEEEEEEEEE. We had some memorable times together, especially while preparing our props and also those late night meetings where we gossip about other people! And we all have a crush on someone (; WOHOOOOO

What did you learn?

I've learnt that in many things that we do, in teams, groups and stuff, it's not just about getting your own part done and just stand by the side, waiting for the others to finish. Building the team spirit and helping them out with their tasks not only gets everything done faster, but it also shows that we care about them. :)

I had the least amount of sleep I ever had on the first night.. AND the 'PT' we had with instructor Jiang li.. it was.. really memorable.. :X

GA



Dirty secret.. GA is the most awesome department? I don't know.. XD


I want to thank everyone!! Especially our GA dept IC and asst ICs.. They really guided us well along the way and they are very humourous people :) and the fellow GA subcomms as well.. thank you all for always being there :) I want to apologise for my mistakes too.. :(

What did you learn?

To me, the rewards I gained from participating in LTC year after year (this is the 6th year I‟m back) is always much much more than the hard work I put in. The satisfaction of the campers succeeding in their activities; the sub coms evolving from campers the year before to full fletched young leaders who are able to lead their juniors; to main coms learning how to manage a team, solving unique problems each year; to myself, serving as FA to Elements IC, to Camp Chief and finally Advisor, I‟ve learnt so much that defines who I am today.

The most memorable event has to be each time the campers get punished (pushups, run) It is always during times of suffering where people learn the most (pardon me for sounding sadistic as I didn‟t do pushups for a long time already, but I think it is true. HAHAHAHA) During those times you will see instructors fussing over the campers, checking if anyone is hurt or unwell, then proceed to take care of them. To me, that show of concern is more than enough to warm the ham (cockles) of my heart.

Advisor



department.

Within the Advisors we like to walk around acting busy (in my case, taking photos) while the camp is running, simply because we don‟t have much to do. We like to laugh at small little things that the campers are forgetting, simply because we know that they are going to get punished afterwards. (Missing mess tin ah? HAHA! Good one!) Then during times when we are needed – not often, like debriefing and whatnot, speak from a high vantage point because well, really – we are the only ones who can. We love our job. Seriously. Well, I do.


I would like to thank Wei Xin, for being there all the way; Jean, for NOT being there all the way (just joking, I know you still care even though you are faraway enjoying life in Japan, having lots of fun shopping, looking at pretty Japanese girls…… no I‟m not jealous. Really. Okay, maybe just a little. Alright. I‟M VERY JEALOUS); Jiang Li and Yong Zheng for helping out in every way; Joel, Kenny and Shaheed, for making this camp YOURS; all the Main Coms for the hard work and OF COURSE all the Sub Coms for JOB WELL DONE!!!

What did you learn?

I learnt how to be a better leader and how to debrief + speak in front of crowds! I also learnt how to tie knots!! Before being in this camp, I've never actually known how to build a raft. OH, and I definitely learnt that sleep is very important! NOT FORGETTING SUNBLOCK TOO :D (i'm super tanned right now)

I can't choose!! Definitely our 'Morning PT' where we had to do 100 pumpings, 50 sets of 8 Jumping Jacks, 50 crunches and running from huts to huts! The Sub Commperformance was really memorable too :) Oh & The search for Li ann's file + 2 other lanyard nametags. (Our punishment was the 'morning PT' we did)

Sea Act



WE LOVE HERSHEY'S SUNDAE PIE


I would like to thank sea act's assistant I.C. (Shuya & Mandel) who have been helping us all along since we don't have an IC :( All the teachers who bought prata for us :D (yummm) and every single person who is part of this camp who made it such a memorable one for me! :D

What did you learn?

I learnt that people can bond through punishments..After the punishment we got, all the sub comms became very bonded!

When the sub comms performed; we were really all in this together.

we didnt bathe on day 1...


I wanna thank all my dept ics, raj, jolene and farhan! and not forgetting my dept people! I really learnt the true meaning of 'team' when spending time with them and while preparing for LTC. I also wanna thank the main comms who believed that I could do it and all the sub comms who made my time in ltc very very memorable!

What did you learn?

I learn to tie knots during sea act. Also, I learn how to brief campers and debrief too. I also learn that I can sleep for 3 hours and still do lots of physical activities . My eyes are like =_= on the second day....

My most unforgettable event is the pumpings. Even though at the start, many of us were grumbling but eventually everyone kind of got used to it.I also cannot forget the toilets there as I encountered millipedes and somehow scared me since I did not see them until they were so near to me.Also, I lose a lot of sleep since we slept late at 2 plus during the first day. Before I knew it , it was time to wake up so I was very tired on the second day but I still tried to keep my energy level high for the campers :)

ERM NO SECRETS HAHA ! :P


I want to thank all FB main coms. They help us out a lot and give us chances to do things like briefing and debriefing since we have never done it before. They also help us out anything no matter big or small. :) Also, not forgetting all the main coms, sub coms, camp chief and deputy camp chief :) Without all of you, LTC would not be such a successful camp !

Yong Zheng

What did you learn?

I have learnt that a leader is never complete. There is always something to learn, something to improve and something to experience. I have learnt that failure is a better teacher than success. The pain will make you remember and cherish the moments you have suffered together with everyone. There is always a chance to learn specific skills in your own time, but learning in a “safe-to-fail” environment is very hard to come by.

Definitely LTC 2003 at Labrador (old bird), I will never forget the chilling feeling around my body when I encountered the weird behaving uncle, the uncomfortably long corridor and the suspiciously-clean storage room. That year was definitely unforgiving for those who were there. Be it the fire-drill activity or the “faceless” murals. There are still other memorable events in LTC, but this is ranked topmost!

Too many cooks spoil the broth. :)


Well I have no crush or favourite instructor, but I do want to thank the following for this long LTC journey. Firstly, I would like to thank Mr Bernard R Bagtha for making this LTC journey possible and being such a wonderful servant leader. Secondly, my two very good friends (Gim Ann and Jiang Li) who have been with me in my leadership journey. Lastly, the various instructors that have shown me there is always something new to learn and improve on, and my leadership journey will still go on when I stepped down from LTC.

What did you learn?

I learnt a lot, from leadership skills, being patient with people to time management and stuff. It's helpful as we will encounter all these stuff in the future; it's long term, you see?:)

Screaming my head off at every chance during campfire! >.< :) And playing puzzles with my department. Haha.

Xie Chao thinks he looks hot in red,but I think otherwise.


I want to thank people who helped my before and during all this time.At times I was so stressed that I wanted to give up...but you guys kept me going on. Thanks so much! ^^

Xie Chao

What did you learn?

I learnt to take initiative rather than following others. Often, the first step is the hardest to step out but once you had your first step, the following steps come naturally. I also learnt to communicate better with people I have never met before with.

The morning 'pt' given by Jiang Li, 100 push ups, 50 crunches & all the running...

Ori



No dirty secret!!


Gim Ann for always guiding &helping us throughout the orienteering proposal & treats from him! :)

I would also like to thank Mei Yee for sharing her JC life with me & told me to work harder now & in the future.

Amos Khoo Yong Jun

What did you learn?

I Learn skills such as debriefing, belaying. I learn values such as having initiative and responsibility as a leader. I realise that we tend to react to unexpected situation at certain point of time. An example would be probably if someone couldn't make it for an activity the other sub- committee would have to think of solution, which is why I felt that reaction is something I learned and its very useful.

The most Memorable event would be Day 1. It was great to see the campers so bonded in their groups and looking at them so delighted of attempting the activities planned by the various department.

Ori



I think that Christin is cute, but I have never told her or admit that she was even she asked once before.


I would like to thank Orienteering department, and other departments. Basically, I would just say every single person who is in the planning committee for LTC 2012 ! For putting the effort to come up with the fun activities which build up the camp.

What did you learn?

LTC is a journey that is filled with many life lessons (I am sure many of you will agree). From 2003, where I was a trainee, where I have to jump down from my bunk bed during fire drill to being an Advisor where I understand the rationale and planning behind the entire LTC, this journey brings not only experiences but also GREAT friendship! KUDOs to all fellow LTC-er.. You guys made LTC 2012 a splendid camp!

WEI XIN....!!!!Formatting of proposal & balancing of budget.... " Proposal must be TIMES NEW ROMAN FONT 12 HOR....." , " WHY NO PAGE BREAK~!", " WHY never wear JEANS & SHOES to proposal meeting?!!!"

Shaheed love to smell things wherever he goes..... Weixin LIKES to act cute! (Shaheed say one...)
