The above is the NO 1 主打歌 for Snow White team in the latest RIO Camp. All the participants of the RIO famine camp would definitely remember the humourous Snow White and their Powerful Power-Fedex team. As an officer of this group, I have truly enjoyed the company of the members in this team.

With a powerful combination of Towering HuiYi, Supportive QingYan, Zealous Ziyang, Creative Wenjie, Bashful BoonKiat, Witty WeiLiang, Encouraging Edwin, Cooperative Bryan, and SMARTIE Shenglong, it’s no wonder how we won the Best Advertisement.

Facilitating them has been pretty easy as they were responsive and ponders deep when challenged. Being in this Famine Camp has helped them to understand the helplessness of the tsunami and earthquake- strucked countries. They could imagine the sense of loss when they worked hard to accumulate their possessions and having to lose it in a terrorist attack, or a natural disaster, so to speak. They could identify with the feeling of hunger; craving for food yet there is NOTHING available. They have to worry about having a shelter over their heads. These experiences are something that cannot be duplicated in our affluent Singapore lifestyle.

Being hungry and tired, the team had to walk ‘aimlessly’ around the island of UBIN in search of some items to replace the things we lost. Despite the long distance, we were entertaining each other with our wildest jokes and kiampah qns (欠扁问答题). Getting-to-know-yous hasn’t been better than this. After such a long and tedious walk, Snow White did not shortchange the family but DELIVERed the most entertaining and best advert, really living up to the ad, we live to DELIVER. =p

All good things must come to an end, with a LOUD bang, we broke our 24hr-fast and had the yummilicious cup noodles! We ended the camp with a time of appreciation where we ‘cut the crap’ but appreciate each other for the time spent together and shared what we have learnt. Indeed, RIO camp is not just an event that is planned and ran for the sake of having a good event/activity. It is of building r/s and family. 1D1N might be a short time to foster any strong bonds, but the willingness to share our lives is the beginning to finding treasures in this FAMILY. =)
