words of appreciation from siyun, after Camp OutReach 09.. "this is a deaf camp, so please read it in silence"

Group C is the BEST in my (and all C CUPians’) eyes! We have indeed achieved our motto for the camp: Whe Determination Conquers, Where Friendships Emerge.

Determination was conquered when Barbara, Ariel and Ying Xu who are non-swimmers braved the choppy waters and went for snorkelling, when Weiling and Ginny reached the summit despite feeling so tired and wanted to give up initially, when Jennifer and Jolene joined us for the many games despite being physically fatigue, and when Moses, Ariel, Wei Ling, Wei Hong, Madeline, CMY and Gary gave a try at coconut tree climbing. In a way or another, I am sure each of us has conquered certain fears we have within ourselves during this COR journey. For me, I overcome my fear of signing in front of a crowd by performing on the appreciation night! (:

Friendships were formed between buddies, within our group, and even with the kids at the orphanage (: It was heartening to see everyone being so enthusiastic during the camp and so ON about our C Cup Cheer (:  I feel that our group has bonded very well together and I really couldn’t ask for more. How I wish our camp was much much longer!

Thank you to all Facilitators Wan Xin, Barbara, Ying Xu, Madeline, Yong Lim and Wei Hong for all your support from the day we met at SADeaf till the end of COR 09. Thank you for helping me with my signing, for encouraging me on when I’m tired, and for being part of this team. Each of you is indispensable to Group C (:

Thank you to all participants Jennifer, Wei Ling, Ginny, Jolene, Ariel and Moses for being part of this team (: I feel really proud of you all, watching each of you conquering trees, mountains, waters and most importantly, conquering yourselves. No words can describe how touched I felt when I see how you all overcome your own fears and grow so much during this journey together. You have indeed done yourself proud! I really hope to see you again next year at COR 2010!

Thank you CMY for being the big Mama of Group C! Your LOVE for COR can really be felt throughout this entire year (: I am glad to say I finally understood this passion you have for COR. All the best for your FINAL YEAR dear!

Last by not least, Thank you dear AGL Gary for your support, and for always being there whenever I need your help. Your steadiness is very comforting. Thank you for walking through this journey with me (: Really hope I will see you at COR 2010 (:

All in all, I feel very privileged to have known each of you through COR 2009. Everyone is truly amazing and I have learnt so many invaluable lessons through our interaction. Thank you again for the wonderfully beautiful memories at COR Bintan (: Am really looking forward to seeing you guys this coming Sunday (21^st June) for our C CUPians outing! I will sms you all the details again once they are finalised!

Till then babes and hunks (: Keep in contact!

With Love,
Si Yun
