From the last update...

TRAINING
The J1s learnt new moves in their training which is good! And as for the J2s, we trained on eagles and it took longer than what any of us expected it to be. 2 hrs in the atrium and 2 hrs on the field? Oh well, at least we spent quality time together! ... ...
Farewell
After a long day of games and trainings, it was finally time for another highlight of the camp - The Farewell! So the year 2s went to get changed and waited eagerly while our year ones got ready for our farewell party. They really put in lots of effort for this event and let's get into the fun now!
Waiting excitedly!
Well, What's a party w/o nice and delicious food?! The year 1s got really great food for the farewell that everyone cant wait to lay our hands on it. And from the moment when we started eating, we just couldn't stop munching cos the meal was sumptuous! (:
Yum Yum!
While eating...
As you can see, there was really a lot of planning and hard work put in it. Not only did we have good food, there were nicely sculptured balloons, hand made name tags, music, chatting, fun and yada yada. We had games that got us entertained all night! From musical chair to charades and of cos, to our unforgettable forfeit and dance game.
The forfeit came about cos the coaches and co. kinda got squeezed out of the musical chair somehow. Haha. And the forfeit turn out to be a pleasant surprise that got us all laughing and cheering!
Warming up...
"The book is on the table, table... ..."
Just in case anyone missed this video in one of the previous post, here's it again!
For the prize presentation to be carried out that night, the year 2s moved down to the atrium while our year 1s helped to pack up the place first. Then we continued having our game which happened to be a dance game next. The dancers of the game were supposed to pass down the dance steps to the next person in the line. As you will see, the dance steps got quite messed up after that but i guess all the girls enjoyed themselves even just by watching them dance!
"Take a deep breath..."
"Right foot up, left foot back..."
"And then you end with this!"
The dancers in order of appearance:
Janelle. Kwaihoong. Kimberly. Stephanie. Hannah. YanYi.
Anyway, just side tracking a little here:) Came to realize how we always include some dance elements to our event, be it for bonding session or during the farewell. Somehow, even though we cant dance as well, we just enjoy doing so. We have a para para queen in our midst (you know who you are! ;), a couple of girls who used to be from dance, some girls who signed up for the hip hop lessons organised by the school, and even some who secretly takes up dancing outside! Haha!
Chicken dance!
Its really one of their dance step. LOL
Point!
Okay, back to the party. Oh, and then it was prize presentation! The ceremony started with a video made by the juniors. Wanted to post the video up as well, but unfortunately, the file's too big. Anyway, the video really brought back memories for the year 2s. Looking at the pictures made us realize how we have grown, and how the team has changed till today, from the initial 30 over girls. So we all beamed widely as we look at our certificate of appreciation, knowing that each and everyone of us made up team NYJC 07/08. Our juniors were so sweet and what they have done for us touched us deeply! We know the planning, posing, editing and video-ing for the party and video didn't come easy, so a really BIG BIG BIG thank you from us to everyone involved! We've got our camp tee and pullover as well:)
Kelly!
Audrey!
Sha!
Coach Annabel!
Coach Matthew!
AHA, our juniors gave us a each a copy of the video with our personalised name! And guess what, we each had a RUGBY-SHAPED-COOKIE! Really thoughtful of them to think of this! Then there were some gifts presenting by the captain and vice captain. :)
Credited to J. :)
From lesson to games to training to farewell. All the girls were so exhaustingly happy that night. Debrief, washed up and off to the sleeping bags we went!
Getting ready to sleep.
Good night all!
Zzzzzz ... ...

To make sure we could have enough energy to last for the day, we rested whenever we could!
Okay, after all the fooling around in the bunk, off to the field we go for our games!
A word of thanks :D
To have a fun-filled successful camp, a lot of time, effort and planning needs to be there. There was certainly some significant figures we had to give thanks too because the camp wouldn't have been so enjoyable if not for them. From the bottom of our hearts sincerely, we would like to thank:
Firstly, thank you for giving us the green light to our camp! We wouldn't be able to have this camp at all if not for your permission to let us do so. We know it wasn't easy at all to oversee the whole camp with both the boys and girls rugby. So thank you so much Mr Singh! From helping us to edit our proposal to making sure we were all feeling well, we are truly very grateful! Thank you for the continuous support you gave us be it during the planning or during the camp. We hope you had fun in the camp just as much as we enjoyed ourselves. :)
We would like to thank the coaches for taking time off their schedule to be with us in the camp. Thank you for guiding us through our proposals and making the camp what it had been - fun, fruitful and memorable. Thank you for all the skills you all have taught us on the field and off the field. We really learn a lot from you guys be it about being a player or being a team. And thank you for being so enthusiastic and spontaneous in all our games that you guys always brought laughter to us! Thank you coaches.
And not forgetting the coaches' company! Thank you for joining us at our farewell party and leaving us with a great dance and jingle. haha. And thank you for all the help you guys gave in the camp from playing with us, training us and to refereeing us. We will always rmb the book dance ;) Thank you so much to all the coaches friends that came!
Last but not least, we all would like to thank the schools that came and had friendlies with us. The schools are National JC, Temasek JC, Millennia Institute and the coaches co. (rp). Thank you for willing to make the trip down to our school and thank you for the games we had. :)
Of course, and to everyone else who have given their support in a way or another, be it, physically, or morally. :)
Thank you one and all!
