Sunday, June 21, 2009 Now Playing: D.Gray-Man Soundtrack~Reunion Hey....currently really freaked out...a freakin' roach flew in the window and scared the hell out of me before disappearing under my bed...I am so not going to sleep now...3.42am now...2 more hours to go...then I'll go swimming at 6am...I am so tired but rejuvenated! Leadership camp really freshen me up!!!! Woosh! It has overall been quite an experience....I'm going to do a short summary from my POV, so... if you want to know more... look up Fathul's, Jessica's or Nora's blog... okay...hmmm Wait! ~ to XinJie! I LOVE GORILLA <3 Day 1 I was kinda procrastinating coming at first but I thought it out and realised that I should be responsible...I have after all been selected...I shouldn't let my teachers down...besides...I'll be wasting the overseas charges that I've paid, calling Ms Vani in Australia, if I don't go...( I'm glad I did :D ) So i went to school early and yeah...I got grouped with Great leaders like Chelene, Alvin, Fathul, Kengie, LiQin, Nora, Jasmine, Cherie, Kennedy, Jessica, Lena, FengRong and Deon. XD We named our group the.... Tele-TAUPORKS !!!! Pork!!!! I was pretty reserved during the first day...for reasons unknown...first round was the blindfold game...Kennedy was leader....we won that round cause everyone felt that they could trust him to lead us to safety as we were all blindfolded. Then came the tug-of-war...we had to give in our 100% COMMITMENT. Okay...so we worked hard...but we still lost, miserably...As the game processed, everyone got really defeated and pissed off and I felt really guilty...the facils keep talking about us giving our all and that we can feel it inside but honestly, I don't feel anything at all... and everyone else looks like they're trying so hard. I did try but I'm not sure if I've tried enough. Fathul led this game and overall...we morped into a better team with closer ties after this game...Kengie was leader for the game before....and really gave us hope...she keeps encouraging us ... Chelene volunteered to be the leader next and really made us go RAWR RAWR RAWR!!!!! Yeah...so we had the ranking exercise next...was ranked bottom 3 in the group...because of my quietness...was rather crushed...but expected lah....I have no idea why... but I was really silent during the first day... Maybe it's because my close friends weren't there? But then Facil Jones said some encouraging words that made me resolved to change. So... Bernice Fighting! And I did try harder on the 2nd day! ^^ Was really smiley at night went we went on an, unfortunately uneventful nightwalk that was super boring... the toilet lights went off AGAIN when we were bathing...coincidently I was in the stall with the ventilation thing AGAIN...It was soo freaky... Made some friends within the group.... DAY 2 Today was better!!!! We had a confession activity...we were supposed to be resolving any conflicts with anybody...within the group... well...I cried when I opened up. I know it seems weak to some people...but I can't help it if I'm emotional right? Well, Alvin tried to convince me that I did give my 100% but...I'm still not sure...FengRong was leader for the next activity. Lunch... Lena cheered me up...and encouraged me. She believed that I could do it...Lena and Alvin have changed since this camp...I appreciate the fact that they both stepped back and gave others a chance. That's nice :D So..I was the next leader for the balloon game. It went quite well.... we adapted to change and used different strategies. I was praised! But I still feel uncomfortable when praised...that's something I must change.We did a hotseat segment...where we talked about real personal matters...Deon was the leader for the next 'hoops' challenge...wa lao...I'm still feeling the after-effects of doing 700+ squats.... Nora pushed herself to her limits. Though she could barely stand and wobbled, she preserved and managed to throw in 3 hoops at once! Wow! Good Job! :D We went to HP for dinner and we all ate KFC under the void deck. Desi and Kevan brought me extra $$$. Tele-TauPorks all sat at the parade square at night sharing our opinions on certain...unpleasant stuff. Overall, today was thumbs up! DAY 3 Last day!!!! Liqin was leader and we won at last! In the last challenge... we overtooked the bus tarts ( I am not calling them bastards, that's their name) and finally won!!! We achieved balance in Relationship & Task! Went home at 12.30pm... Hs Leadership Camp has ended...I've learnt valuable lessons here...and improved my thinking. So...Potato Peepos...you needn't worry about me flaring up over little stuff ever again...See Miao Miao...be my witness! 
 Now for Korea trippy...Lazy to post bout the details...so here is a slideshow! Just so you know...there is no illegal parking in housing carparks there. Some cars are parked to block your car's exit. To solve the problem, push the cars out of the way. Honestly, that's what we did. The cars are extremely un-heavy. I went with my bros, non parents, to stay with friends... Click the bottom pics to see slideshow.
