Worked as the trainer for a particular camp for the past 4 days with lots of experience and lessons learned. As this is a leadership camp for the participants, trainers have to feed them with info about leadership. Quite an easy job for me as its almost the same as what im doing in npcc.

Personally for myself, i've gained alot from the participants. This experience exposed me to more leadership styles that i had never came across before as i've always been leading kids from npcc, but not 17/18/19 yr old students. Not only must we trainers be able to hype up the team, but also to get them bonded ASAP. Its tough job at one point of time when few of the students are not willing to fully participate in the camp. And at times you wondered why cant they even take care of simple things. Feeling the frustration coming, yet i cant do anything to them. Thats when i discovered more about anger management. HAHAHA!!!

Everyone needs a special someone to talk to in times of need, especially leaders. My co-trainer made me realise this when he was de-briefing the team. You need not know who is the US president, you need not know who is the Miss Universe, You need not know who won singapore F1 grand prix. BUT, you mus know when you failed an objective, who is the one that got you back on track. When you are down, who is the first that came to pull you up. And when its the last night tonight, who would come to your mind. That special person keeps the leader going, never to give up, never to go down. I am very thankful to have a few of them, but one special one who i can really say/share/rant anything, and i mean ANYTHING to.

Every camp will be a brand new journey to me, a brand new experience for me. And these are perfect memories in life....

3) making mistakes & doing a better job next time using a different approach

we mus defend our dreams when attacked by close ones, survive from their doubts & criticisms.

Im gonna dedicate this post to all banglahs aka Foreign Talents in singapore.

1st, I really salute them for all the hardwork they put in to make singapore such a better place. buildings, MRT stations, painting of HDB blocks. etc etc

2nd, They are really nice ppl! On this occasion on the train, I was sitting at the priority seat, 1 banglah beside me. When the train reached one of the stations, 1 old lady came in. While I was slotting my things into my bag getting ready to offer my seat, the banglah beside immediately sprung up and allowed his seat to the old lady. Macchiam want have competition with me. impressed!!

3rd, Sometimes I do feel pity for them. Last year while still learning to drive, there's this banglah taking TP test. And for the parallel parking, he actually hit the front 2 poles down. I laughed a bit initially, but when he looked as if he's going to cry, my throat constricted, and I was engulfed with this stifling emotion that was bringing me close to tears. Cos I understand it costs a lot for them to learn driving. His boss might scold the hell out of him too.

And on tue, I was on my way to the station after revision in sch. Happened to pass by this study corner with a grp of banglahs, all with laptops. *first thing that came to my mind, "Wa, rich sia..."* until I saw one without. And he's lik sian sian sit there with the revision papers.

There's always another experience during ITP. Almost all the banglahs had only plain white rice plus curry for lunch! omg!! Felt lik giving them my pathetic piece of luncheon meat. but there's so many of them. AND SO.......................I eat myself.

Although there are times when Im prejudiced against them, eg honk them when they're blocking my way, whether they're driving or walking cross the road. But most of the time, play play only lah.. hahaha'

Well, all in all, BANGLAHS FTW!!! not AT. =D

Had a great weekend!
Friday, went school to learn some things from lab TSO Patrick. Taekwondo trainin at night.
Sat, NPCC training at HS. Dinner wif tkd buddies at J8, training at YCK.
Sun, Pasir Ris -> Punggol Jetty -> Round Ubin -> Pasir Ris = 25.1km

After yesterday's kayaking exped, i understood the meaning of, "so near yet so far". Target point can be seen, but after paddling for 1hour non-stop, its still so far. And when getting near the target point, slacken down, and realised that its getting further becus of the drift. And i learnt that in life, we should never be complacent of anything. Just becus it seemed that you ARE getting it, does not mean you WILL get it.

watery eyes, runny nose, sunburned face & neck. sneezing non-stop, and im really feeling awful & very uncomfortable. missing school 2day.

i WILL improve!
i WILL become better!

Just added another chapter to my diary of life....

no matter how great a trouble you get into, remember, its just a learning point.
1) Ask yourself why are you in such a situation.
2) How are you going to deal with it.
3) How you move on with it.

Everyone lived only once. Would you want it to be as calm as the water in a pond, or do you want it to be lik a roller coaster ride?? =)

its really quite another expensive lesson learnt this time.
