Ookay, just came back from the Council Pre-Camp Briefing, and it was an out of this world experience I think... Umm, well, not so positive after all.. and it was literally out of this world

I expected council camp to be somewhat leisure where u get to know ur friends and seniors from council and interact with them so as to enable you to perform better in council. I expected workshops that will enable us to become better leaders who could get ready for elections, but guess what I got...

A military style camp...

Yes and I'm not kidding! The moment we were asked into the lecture theatre, we took 2 mins 40 seconds to settle down, and we were told that that was the time we took to settle down..

Nothing much of it we thought about, until camp briefing started proper.

Basically they showed us the slides and we had to copy it down real fast cause they didnt wait for us. Then somewhere into the briefing, we were screamed at by one of the councillors, asking us to SIT STRAIGHT and PLEASE STAND UP WHEN ASKING QUESTIONS... following that, we didnt think much when they asked us questions, and they screamed at us again, asking us to address them as (their name) sir or madam... so we have to like, memorize their names ALL by council camp...

Then we hadda do this spot check and SUDDENLY one of the people asked us to queue in lines so they could check our attire... this was followed by another screaming telling us we had 30 seconds to move out from the LT for... guess what... 30 push ups.. yep u heard me right! 10 push ups for one minute we were late...

WOAH! and this is just pre camp briefing u know.. we havent even gone in proper, and we were warned that for any mistake we make, there WILL be punishment

"I cannot tolerate any nonsense at ALL"
"Whenever we ask a question, you answer, UNDERSTAND?"
"We're not here to entertain you, this is a training camp!"

Well well, coincides with my fitness programme, BUT not this rigorous... am i up for it?

Boy.. I'm in for a 'treat' ... WHAT DID I JUST PUT MYSELF INTO???
