Hall XI FOC 2010: A Happy Ending

Yep, all's well that ends well.

Despite the overwhelming stress, the persistent sense of weariness, and even threats and complaints from the public throughout the week, we made it. And we made it, not because of some sheer stroke of luck, but because of one whole year of drive, planning and commitment to a single vision: to create the most fun and memorable camp ever.

It wasn't perfect. But i thought it was pretty damn good. And i messaged each and every comm member, to thank them for their integral role in our success. Here's their replies, just to remember them by:

GLs...
-Haha nah la dun mention. That's my role :) Thanks for ur effort too, being a pillar of support for both freshies n seniors!
-It's all worth it! =) And sebast, thank you for spurring us on from the pre-FOC period to during the camp itself, really appreciate it! It's not easy to make decisions, and on top of that decision that will affect evry1 that is involved in FOC. but you've pulled through and make this camp a success! Thank you =)
-Yup :) no worries!! Same for u sebas! Saw tt u were super tired during the camp! N it's finally over now...Have a good rest!!

  1. FOC 2010 really tested my planning and execution in a way not even SAF could have tested it. Thinking back, it was really a very memorable time for me, especially getting to work with awesome people in the logs team.

    FOC 2010 will always have a special place in my heart. As will you, shan and wei chong :)

    After the dust settles and everyone goes back to their daily grind of life, no one really remembers the sweat, toil and stress all of us invested in FOC, but for the few who do, the memory lingers....:)

    Regards
