Bismillah, Assalamualaikum :)
today was extremely tiring :[
lately the nights have been so cold so i practically had to force myself to wake up this morning and not sleep back again and bathe in the cold water and get ready to become a facilitator for the Kelab Remaja Jim Explorace Game 16th Dec 2007 at Taman Tasik Shah Alam.
i was in charge of a checkpoint, the 2nd one behind Laman Budaya on an island. the task that i was in charge with was that:
1. the group had to divide themselves into boys and girls.
2. the boys had to search for 6 envelopes with a blue circle.
3. whereas the girls have to look for 6 envelopes with a green square.
4. when they have found all 12 envelopes around the island then they have to come back to me.
5. inside both the envelopes, there are 2 pictures that i have cut up and jumbled up and the boys and girls respectively have to solve the puzzle.
6. after they have finished putting all the pieces together, consequently they have to interpret the picture and this is where i test their creativity.
7. i make sure everyone expresses their opinions or else i threaten to reduce their marks!
8. only after i am satisified hence i give them their next clue and wish em luck!
my checkpoint was not difficult at all because the island was small and so there were limited places to cover up the envelopes. basically i just placed them behind a rock or stuffed the envelope in the leaves of a small tree and i wanted to put one on a tortoise's back but it went underwater, huhu :p
initially i wanted the BIG playground beside wetworld but it was too risky as kids would interfere as there were many parents accompanying their kids playing there and that place was also too far from the other checkpoints so i had to give in and settle for the island, huhu~
besides, my island had a boat :D
this explorace was for high school kids and there were grouped with age and gender difference. there were 6 groups for 6 checkpoints and at first, we wanted to maximise the WHOLE of Taman Tasik Shah Alam but in the end, we had to settle using only half of the park. this is because it's really tiring to be going making that full round and moreover, there was time constraints and the fear of heavy rain in the afternoon. in spite of starting late, we still managed to finished the explorace some time after zuhur.
as usual, i had a SMASHING time except at the beginning when i had to wait all alone while the sun stuck its head out and i was wondering when will the 1st group come and attacked me as i practiced giving out my orders, haha :p
the kids were a delight but it just upsets me that some kids do not see the urgency to actually run searching high and low for the envelopes like they just don't see the need to compete and hurry because they are racing for time! i think that everyone has seen The Amazing Race and how the partners just races here and there and everywhere and doing all the task as if their life depended on it but that just doesn't happened much in this explorace and i feel a sense of GERAM as i feel like i want to rush these kids and do whatever it takes to make them see that my checkpoint, though not 100% challenging as i like it to be but still, this is an explorace and they have to perform to excel!
overall, i like to facilitate and i do so believe that maybe i am meant to be a teacher :)
