Best IAG Season ~

Helluuu!

Well It has been a long time since I last coached. Okay well to AK ppl skipping only one season isn't a long time but to me it is. Returning to AK to me means getting together with my best of friends again and coaching. I feel that I am truly myself whenever I am coaching or with my AK friends. I am always laughing and even though I may still have drastic mood swings but most of the time I'm a happy person

This season has been highly awaited by me. And I'm so happy to say that this has been the best season I've coached so far. The best coaching teams, the best batch of participants. My favourite coaches and trainers. My most cooperative junior and senior groups.

Here is the camp photo for junior camp! 23rd -27th November 2015

What my junior kids drew when the trainer told them to draw an animal to represent their coach. Which is me. Which is cute doge. 

Hahaha I found it so cute and funny.

Just to remember, my junior kids names are Alex, Hannah, Monishar, Nigel, Terence, Nicholas, and Rena!!!! They are all so cute and friendly with one another, which I am very thankful for. Other special kids I wanna mention are Bing Heng and Vera!!!! Bing Heng is soooooooo cute I kept spazzing over his cuteness since Day1 hehe. Vera is a super cute kid and even though she's not from my group she is in a way quite close to me! Surprisingly these 2 kids are both from Raegan's group HAHAHA

Aykin Gary and Cavan !!! Profilling is always what I dread most in the camp.

And here are the kids from my senior group!!!!!

Shannen, Shuang Ching, Ray, Ben, Ryan, Ru Xue and Sean!!!!!

These bunch of kids... sigh. I've really formed a close bond with all of them since the start of the camp and I treat all of them like my younger siblings. They are a bunch of mature yet qwerky kids that have stupid punny jokes to share with me. They encourage each other and work as team without my prompting. During ttp, my emotions really flowed like a river and Ive never cried for much in a ttp like in this camp for my dear group. 

Im so thankful for them opening up to me and I feel so blessed to have them in my care.

I felt like all of them have improved tremendously since Day1 in one way or another. 

Other nice things my kids have done for me include saving me a meal and drinks on the last day :') And they always worry about me having enough or anything to eat.

I appreciate all these small actions so much.

KIT of each other on Day2. And they even included my name :')

Im so proud of Shannen and Shuang Ching for going onstage and thanking me in front of everyone...I was really dumbfounded with shock and joy and idk I was so touched and filled with emotion

Raegan asked me why I stood up for so long (like a friendly joke). Thats because I want to receive those words of thanks as openly as possible from where I was at. So that is why I stood up alone looking like an idiot while everyone was sitting but I didn't care cause my participants are up on stage thanking me and I am so damn proud of that.

Ru Xue and Ryan thanks for having the thought of going up as well :')

Me and my kids together with a letter they wrote for me. I was so touched and was screaming lmao I love it so much

Not to forget the amazing coaching team. Thanks to the PD Ben Koh and APD Darius (happy now) for this amazing camp. I already knew this camp would be awesome haha + with those PDs that name their whatsapp group "Best Camp Yet" haha. But on a more serious note I am thankful for them for dealing with a lot of shit for coaches etc.

This camp was also really unique with the rara which was amped up 10000 times with EDM and lightsticks and expanded to using the whole dark room. Chuanlay also kept messing with the lights but it was so fun

Big thanks to PDs for treating 8 pizzas!!!! Went back to office on the last day, it was so fun. Even trainers Melvin and Andrea joined and they said they rarely join coaches debrief on last days, because they enjoyed our camp a lot so they stayed as well. ^^ Stayed till 3am with these peeps to finish up carwash.

Senior camp was my best camp Ive ever coached so far. Love everyone inside, coaches and participants.

Senior camp 28th November - 2nd December 2015

Special mention to Larlene because this would be her last camp..Sigh. Larlene means a lot to me, more like an older sis. We came in in the same season and we have really grown in terms of coaching skill together. She's always there for me and I always feel comforted in her presence. I remember in coach training she picked me first haha out of all the other coaches. Will miss you a lot Larlene :(

Cant wait for coaches gathering!!!! Thanks to everyone who made this season the best for me ^-^
