Back from camp, shall come into details now.

Day 1

BASIC MILITARY TRAINING

We have been safely lifted from our school to our base camp, our home away from the comfort zone for the next 3 days, at Jalan Lekar, the Singapor Vision Farm. This was a new environment that has full of promise and also has many a challenges in it. We were introduced to the culture of the camp, were tasked to set our own rules and got to know the place just a bit better as we strived to make this camp an experience of a lifetime.

Our first task of the day would be the BASIC MILITARY TRAINING. If in army, guys will go for a 3 month initiation course, this would take just take one day. In this part of the camp, we would learn how to be a soldier, enhancing our physical fitness, undergo challenging obstacle courses and learn the basics of footdrill.

Behind each activity, is a lesson in learning that we could learn. A lesson about life, a discovery about ourselves and our friends, something we could see with our own eyes, an experience, a feeling that we would remember for a long time to come.

After a day of hard work and training, through the sun, the heat, the rain and the sweat, we have finally completed the BASIC MILITARY TRAINING. And it was time for us to pass out as PRIVATES in the PASSING OUT PARADE. The whole cohort was formed up in the training shed and we were all involved a solemn ceremony as we moved on from being recruits of LIVE! Operation to PRIVATES. Proud as we stood, we united as one in DEYI spirit.

Day2

RECCE Patrol

Today was a day of missions. In our groups and with our assigned leaders, we were given a map and a mission to find 6 coded messages. At each point in the map was a challenge to be answered. The first team to decode the messages would win a prize!
This was our day as the PMs empowered us with the choice to make our own decisions, be responsible, exercise leadership roles and unite as a team in pursuit of a common objective.

THE GREAT RAID

In the GREAT RAID, each of the platoons were given a mission to do…We were each given territories and battleships in a brought-to-life game of RISK. The objective was to conquer as many islands as possible. However, in order to attack each other, we had to first win a challenge that was given to us by the platoon mentors.

This brought FUN to a new level. We were given all sorts of challenges, some were simple ones yet it was truly stretching. We understood the meaning of DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES to get what we truly want. It was indeed an enjoyable learning process where we learnt through activities while at the same time instilling core values and principles that we could learn to appreciate and practice. Like resilience and perseverance while standing on one leg!

VICTORY MARCH

The rain stopped at five and we were tasked with our final mission-THE VICTORY MARCH. It was a long route march that stretched up to 5 kilometres and we had to finish it together. It was going to be grueling and a challenge, but if we put in 100 per cent, did our best and extended a helping hand to one another, we can create positive energy that can pull us through from start to finish.

Many of us felt like giving up, it was a struggle. Yet our friends pulled us through. We shouted cheers, we told jokes, we kept up with the gaps in front. Leave no one behind. That was our creed!

And after 75 long minutes, 5 kilometres, through the roads and the paths and the trails, we emerged at the end of the journey, completing the VICTORY MARCH as ONE TEAM DEYI. It may have been long, but we persevered and encouraged one another, stretched ourselves and we finished what we started, with confidence in our heads and satisfaction in our hearts! We did it as one whole cohort. NO ONE LEFT BEHIND!

Day 3

GRADUATION PARADE

Finally on the last day of the camp, and after completing the challenges of LIVE! Operation, we will pass out and graduate as CORPORALS! In this symbolic Graduation Parade, each of us was awarded a VICTORY BANDANA that symbolised the true values of DEDICATION, DETERMINATION, DISCIPLINE and DILIGENCE examplified in the last 52 hours!

It has been a truly amazing journey this last 52 hours. We became from normal teens to true blue LIVE! Operation troopers, we went from just boys and girls to young men and women. We came, we saw, we conquered! The conquest is complete and the fun is everlasting! Now lets bring this DEYI Spirit deep within our hearts everywhere we go!

And I truly miss the instructors and mentors, hope we will have some gathering in future. Cried during the last night, don't feel like leaving the campsite at all. At first, I were reluctant to go, now I am reluctant to leave. Sigh, but life has to carry on. Five success priniciples as guidelines: "CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES." "THERE ARE NO FAILURES, ONLY LEARNING EXPERIENCE." "ALL FOR ONE, ONE FOR ALL." "DO IT ONCE, DO IT FAST, DO IT RIGHT." "IF I CAN'T, THEN I MUST." They are the principles of success!
