Day 1

Today was the first day of our youth resilience camp. At 9 am we were all unfamiliar, quiet individuals but by 10 pm, we transformed into a bunch of confident and cooperative members of an exciting group. No doubt this transformation will continue in us and make us better people, able to apply the qualities we learn in this camp to our real lives.

At first we had a fun time of the team building: The War Chant Game. '(Insert random screaming sounds)!!! DOI'N, DOI'N, DOI'N' was our cheer and we tried our best to fend of random attacks from the other teams. True, we screwed up sometimes, but in the end, we grew closer as a team and had fun (which was the main objective of the camp).

After the game was the opening address and followed by which was the room check in. We entered clean and neat rooms with really cool AIR CONDITIONING (WOOTS)! :D:D:D:D:D:DD::D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D. We had really nice toilets too XD.

We then had a wonderful lunch and then we travelled to the Singapore Civil Defence Force where we received book and notes on how to manage emergency situations (such as a gas attack and a chemical leak, BOOMZ, etc, etc). We were then taught on how to cope with unconventional threats. To supplement the teaching, there was a simulation where we taped the windows with trashbags, masking tapes, leopard preens (jus kidding). We were then brought around the fire station where we were shown how the Civil Defence Force reacted to various threats around Singapore and their daily routine.

After that informative trip, we then retruned to NACLI where we had a team challenge: Confidence Skip. At first, it was hard to get past the skipping rope without being hit by it, but eventually everyone got the hang of it and we managed to clear subsequent levels very quickly and without that many restarts.

We yet again had a great meal for dinner and we moved on to a talk on terrorist ideologies. We came up with ways to prevent these ideologies from spreading like having a critical mind, watch more porn to prevent us from reaching the terrorist sites (jus kidding), avoiding radical books and materials and go consult religious leaders if unsure of the stuff we read on the internet.

Overall, it was a fun and informative day.
