council training camp!
realise and learn many many things.
all along i've been saying that i like council but i dontlike the way we are doing things,
but i'm wrong.
my only experience of planning and work was through redcross- uniformed group.
so when i came across this NEW STylE of leadership, i thought that everything sucks.
it is just that i did not adjust to a new environment. but now i realise =)
and now i say it. i love council. (hahaha so cheesy x) )
guess i was too 'limited' in my thoughts previously.
limited in my style of working with the type of people,
limited in my courage to talk to people,
limited in my style of leading.
several moments and people in council training camp that made me broaden my thinking,
1) my ctc incharge - MAR-KE-SI ! marcus teo =)
he has a way to neutralise feelings and emotions. like after endurance run.
and a special way to lead authoritatively yet NOT domineering.
2) my leadership comm member- LONG ONE GOOD (omggHAHAstupid nick)- chang yi hao.
he can picture the scene of game and suggest when will be messy and stuffs like that.
experienced guy in game planning.
3) old mamamamamma - CHUA YUN ZHI
an independent and confident woman. though she doesnt show it, her independence and self-confidence is something worth learning.
4) exco ppt presentation
the supportive faces and cheers of number5s sitting behind really made me very touched worxxxx. x)
5) NIGHTWALK AT OLD CHANGI HOSPITAL-- SHIVERS ALOT ALOT
the darkness was like..... you cannot see ANYTHING that is 10 steps away fromyou.
and i seriously mean pitch dark. our trail started from 10 plus to 1plus am. so it's SERIOUSLY freaky larh! hahahs.
then the commandos (army people) came and talk to us! cos we were in their territory.
so we had to change route last minute. (and the new route needs to pass by one of the white building. omggg)
THEN the police cars came in. cos there were people having illegal gatherings up at the hill. (our route starts from bottom of hill tilll the top of hill where OCH is situated)
den me and marcus had to sit dere and do nothing and wait for the pairs to walk up the hill.
was kinda very scared at first. and that stupid marcus kept complaining he was tired, SO HE SLEPT. hahahas but he slept at the later part larh, when im not so scared already =)
6) dance practice
after preparing my games logs, i went up hall and manage to watch the dance once.
i was kinda touched. like hmm reallie. cos when u see the effort everyone is putting. and how the dance depicts our council journey.. ="( teary eyess =) and thatmade me more willing to make mistakes and learn together. RESULT = DANCE APPROVED!!!! =:)
7) ColOUrFUl WateR BOMBs! - leadership games
my first game planning leh! ahash cos always incharge of logistics,first aid blah blah those general stuffs. and game planning is so much more fun larh! number fives were really really supportiveeee through their actions and was.. ehhh felt kinda touched again, cos everybody helped unconditionally. (HAHas. touched many times alr i think)
8) handover ceremony
our council song. and looking back our journey as a councillor.
last year ctc, candle lit = council term starts, we are officially part of 5th Student's Council
the burning candle = drawing our wax (energy) time and time, draining yet the flame continues.
this year ctc, candle blown = council term about to end (many of us bear the thot that "NO, i'm still part of 5th SC till wednesday)
as the flame is gone, the wax (challenges that drained us) formed back again, but this time round nolonger as energyto work for council, but experience and values we learnt.
with P.R.I.D.E we Serve, as ONE we Lead.
Passion
Responsibility
Integrity
Discipline
Empowerment
ONE = The 5th Student's Council

that night, i went to look for samantha at SP! and waited for her briefing to end at 12 midnight.
yea yea i know it's late but. i din regret it. yayys jiayous sammie. i love my squadmates.
thankyous joanne maam for pei-ing me on the phone! and somehow i just feel safe in dover.. sunset way?
wed morning was a little crazy!
but it was like some experential learning =)
my alarm clock lagged for one& half hour, so i was going to be late for school!
and den i took a cab, but she didnt noe how to go to mjc.
knowing that i was AlReady late, i alighted and started walking..and took a bus.
i missed my stop and it went on the expressway,
i ended up at dover, newton circle, orchard, dhoby ghaut.
alighted and took 14 back to bedokk to seee a doctor for my bACk =(
sounds like an unlucky day?
but it all depends on you to define it.
it was quite an exciting day for me!
and one great morning where i learnt to make choices in life, and not to brood over the unexpected.
i think there are many many paths lying aheadd of us.
Everyone has a choice.
i can stand on the spot and call somebody for help.
i can sit in the taxi, be the 4th time late for sch, and set a bad record.
or i can choose to walk till i find my way to where i wana go
well i followed my first instinct.
be true to yourself, and do what you really wana do.
and once u make ur choice, keep your objective in mind.
the purpose of your decision. dont betray ur purpose
im glad i went to look for samantha.
im glad i tried not to be late for school, and took e move to rush to sch.
im glad i made de crazy move to walk. and to walk bravely!
cos the places around me were like trees and grasses and nothing else!
you wont know what lies on the other end of the path till you move forward. 
and finally i saw hdb flats and busstop! =)) OH met this bunch of funny army people on the way! hahas. i like this tripp! =)
hmm. think i giving teachers alot of problems! =/
quek jiayous. quek must work harder harder harder! you can do it! go quekyingqi. ="/
