HAT PITI, SICHON 2009

15th & 16th January 2009

It was just a normal day for us all on Thursday 15th January 2009. We had our classes as normal but when we had finished them we were then going to on another English Camp, our last one as Mattayom 2 students. This time we were going to be staying one night at the Hat Piti Resort, only 60kms from school but a welcome break from studying. Our English teacher, Ajarn Thomas had already told us that there would be a 'singing' contest during the camp so we had already practiced and were looking forward very much to the competition that evening.

At 2:45 our coach turned up and we all made sure our bags were stowed safely before we boarded for the relatively short journey to the Hat Piti Resort. The drive up took just under an hour and we arrived at 4pm. The first thing we did was we got our room keys from Ajarn Neung Ying, took our bags to our rooms and had a quick look around the resort.

As evening came, we all got ready and practiced for the 'KNEP Idol' contest that we were to have that evening. We had already made costumes and other things that we were to need so it was just a case of us practising our words and our dance movements. Some of the teachers were judging us and that made us more determined to put on a good show. One by one each group showed their 'act' and in turn they were each judged and given points. Some shows were good but there was a couple of very good shows which were much appreciated by all those who were watching. Half way through the show we stopped for an interval and during that time we had some food. After our intermission we continued with our 'idol' competition. Once the competition was finished, the judges gave their marks. It was all in fun so the points didn't really matter ... that much. After we had heard the points, there was some more food and then we had a little 'disco' and were given freetime.

The following morning, after our breakfast, we first had to say thank you to our teachers because it was in fact Teacher's Day, a Thai tradition. After singing songs and saying thank you, we played some rotation games before boarding the bus back for the journey back to Nakhon. All in all I think everybody really enjoyed themselves and I'm sure everyone can't wait until the next English Camp!!
