LGM Musical Camp 2012



WELL HERE IT IS! Our Litlegras Musical Camp 2012. This post is a response for those who didn't go to the camp. Hope you guys live in regrets after reading this post!!! You just miss one HELLUVA camp! Nah, just joking~

It was a beautiful Saturday morning (8/12/12). After much detouring, we finally reached our destination which is the Balik Pulau Fruit Farm. 





Perfect escape from University Stress Malaysia


This ain't a wedding, just a camp
durians everywhere!


After settling our stuffs, we are divided into 4 groups in which we came out with funny names like ACE, DAI DEE, C^3 and YEAH, not forgetting the group cheers. The first game that we played was a simple game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. In order to win, we have to defeat the opponent in each stage and progress to next stage. The stages are Egg, Chick, Pheonix, and Human. Moving over, was our composing session. Conducted by Zi Xun and tumbleweed senior who is an expert in song composing (publishing level), Kok Choy. And the task : Each group has to come out with a lyric. There were no specifications to how the lyric was supposed to be. Some wrote about Durian, how 2 separated people used to be good friends, diary of a university student and motivation song to psyche one up. 

Next, we played an unforgiving water game, something similar to that of 'Battleship'. In this game, each group has to position their 'bombs' on the map and at the same time providing an escape route for the opponent. Everyone had their best time playing with water. We do have a great time giving Arthur his shower. Haha.  

Fast forward to dinner time. We had steamboat! Many thanks to those who prepared for the food. I know the seniors wanted to join us for the water game, but they had to make preparation. But hell it was a great steamboat. The food was awesome. Wide arrays of food. One word. Awesome! Thank you!


Drooling...






Right after this, we had a small sharing session from the Tumbleweed seniors (Kok Choy, Arthur, Qing Xian, Jing Yao, Hsien Ming, Fabien and Janice). They told us about their stories in LGM. How they used to start off like anyone of us with no basic into someone with skills. And of course those skills will not be left behind once we have come out from LGM. And it’s from that session, I discovered the ugly secret of a 'play' button. Haha. Well those sharing were precious, one should always think of how they want to leave their legacy behind. 










Before bedtime, we played a simple game, or should i say deceptive game called 'angels and demons'. Now we all know how Stefany looks like when she is lying.. 


Everyone got so high that neither of them wants to go to bed. Apparently this camp trains everyone to be professional cheaters. Oh gawd. 


"Sunday morning rain is falling..", after breakfast and simple aerobic session, we resume to our song composing. This time we are required to complete the song with both lyric and melody. Time were limited, but we managed to write till the half of the song which is from verse 1 to chorus. Moving on, is our station games. And we had 9 of them!! Look the photos below for self explanatory. Getting lazy to type. Haha. 







We prove the world that girls aren't weak!




Arthur : "i am too old for this"

Dai Dee Leader



Finally, it was time for each group to present their songs. *drum roll*

Everybody waiting anxiously for the presentation
da xue ji zai - story of an university student
Kok choy commenting at publishing level

Xie gei zi ji- everyone needs a song to be motivated

liu lian gong chu- princess of Durian??



形的分隔线 
Yin xing de fen ge xian

Haha. And of course every camp needs a camp song in which we have one which is very simple yet addictive~! lalalalalala~!

Next was the prize giving ceremony. Appreciation token was given to the committees and tumbleweed seniors. 



This is the last time i am going to ask,
 WHERE IS MY DURIAN??..

Of course there won't be any awesome musical camp without Kit ting aka Liu Lian Gong Chu and the rest of the committees. Thank you!

Well in a nutshell, its proud to say that we've achieved the purpose of the camp . We manage to produce 4 songs in less than half a day ( you guys deserve a pat on the shoulder!). We hope that from the camp, everyone should start having that passion towards song composing. One should not be afraid to start composing song though it may seem difficult from the start. Everyone has their own melody and story to tell, just put them on a piece of paper or record the melody down. Send all of them to us, and together we will produce that song. 

So start writing then~ lalalalalala~!

Litle Gras Camp 2009

24th- 26th of September 2009, Balik Pulau, Nature Fruit Farm, Litle Gras Music Club, SMILES, LAUGHTER AND NEW FRIENDS.

24th of September, 11 am, marks the beginning of a journey for 34 hopeful members to the famous Balik Pulau, in the hopes of better future. Waaa, like very drama...
Camp commander's speech
Ice breaking (1 dot 1 dot 1 dot)

On arrival on campsite, tired and stoned faces is a norm in all the members faces, I bet it's due to the stupid bumpy journey that made our asses hurt. At the sight of the first few activities, smiles and laughter begin to pop, especially when Hui Min and Clifford was racing each other to see who gets more dots on their foreheads. (5 dot 5 dot 5 dot).

During the lego games session, I think everyone agrees with me that it 中庸 (zhong yong) is impossible not easy to act, and it is super hard to impress any judges. Some of us (Shi Neng and Kok Loong the great) even showed some 爱 (ai) to the judges, and still they failed to pass the session.

In the video session, I think that we all get a grasp of which direction we should move as a music club and how we should always improve ourselves. The videos were indeed inspirational and motivational. I do hope that everyone sees the videos as an encouragement to improve ourselves.

One thing that is for sure throughout the whole camp is that our members are excellent chefs. Super creative in mixing ingredients (ehem), egg, kaya, strawberry with sausages, all spread on a bread actually tastes good.
Smiles eventhough have to do morning exercise 好!(HOU!!)

And a BIG thank you Sze Hui for the excellent warming up and morning exercise. I think it is really a wake up call. 好!(HOU!)
Then the torture begins, wakakakakaka.... kabaddi, water pail game, 1,2 juice and human sedan chair (kabaddi is the best right? hahaha). From losing breath in kabaddi, getting to losing your direction in human sedan chair, I do believe everyone had the time of their lives, throwing water to anyone that they see. But I do wonder, sometimes why the station masters get more wet than those playing the game. I believe that next time, the committee just have to plan a station with a tap, a hose, pails and a lot of water, and everyone will have an excellent time.
Kabaddi kabaddi kabaddi (Darrel being dragged)Jouk Ya: DON'T DROP ME!!!Cheers and jeers

After the first round of physical torture, the second round begins. Telematch.... muahahaha... The 10 rounds on the ground is a big killer, I can see people running to attack the committees that were just looking at the side. But the biggest casualty of the telematch was Clifford's spectacles, so sorry about that. I do applause all the members for helping each other out when things was hard to achieve (I bet some of you are cursing the committees for putting spinning part in the telematch =) ).
Hock siang spraying water, you can find him now for revenge =)Kok Choy losing balance behind
After the long day of physical torture, all members went through a mental and aptitude development. Here, we can see that, communication, teamwork, knowledge in our field, planning, trust, execution and many more (just in case I didn't name any, lol) is very important in creating an excellent club. There are no I in a TEAM, we should always work together and achieve our goals.
Listen and you shall learn

Then the night falls, vultures and vampires scavenge the lands, in seek of food and fire (The campfire begins). Our cooking skills were put to test when we had to BBQ our meals. I think most of us had black kampung chicken instead of nice marinated BBQ chicken.

Wai Yung emo..

WOHHHH!!
Kok You's mouth open so bigOur campfire is burning~
One thing that I was really really really impressed throughout the whole camp is the talent show presentation (A big round of applause to you guys). To those that do not know, the talent show presentation is a session during the campfire where each team are supposed to perform a song.

The challenge of the activity is that, the group has to teach someone to play a musical instrument from zero to performing, within 2 days time. The groups are to change the lyrics of the songs with the words that were proposed to them. Throughout the whole night, we can people expressing their love towards white coffee, some groups advised the london bus not to drive too fast as it will get summons, listening to a fairy tale story of a girl having a crush on a guy, and Darrel doing his solo on keyboard. Encores for Darrel's solo =).
Teacher and the student

Then, the sing along session held by Clifford (thank you cliff). That was the first time I can see how people can syok sendiri. No, wait, the first time was during fellowship night by the first years.
The night ending slow with sharing. Sharing of thoughts, opinions, compliments, thanks and many more. Wonderful end for a wonderful night.

The next day was the day with the best activities, closing ceremony, prize giving, conclusion, photo session (cam whoring), and the most importantly, CLEANING UP. Congratulations yellow team on winning the best team award.
Fruits of the day

Well, although the camp has ended, but the laughter does not end there. I think that many of us enjoyed the camp, met many new faces and strengthen old ties. With this, I do hope that the friendship does not end there. This world will not mean anything if we do not have anyone to share our happiness. So I urge all Litle Grasian, stand up and stand tall, be one and be great together.
