Finally, i experienced something so new and so close to my heart. Although there were some negative feedbacks about the course,i think we can only say that different people have different views. I REALLY ENJOYED THE LEADERSHIP COURSE =)
Frankly speaking,i attended the course on the first day with the kind of "just-go-there-and-have-fun" attitude. Yup,to me,it was just another course which we have attended for the past few years,nothing new. I was wrong,very wrong. HAHAH. okay,i shouldnt sound so serious. But really,all the activities and games which we were asked to participate in were meaningful to me. Each of them serves a purpose,something that is so close to our heart,it's really a matter of whether we are willing to be open about it. But the disappointing thing is that only 6 people from my class turned up, BUT, we still did it. WE DID IT =) together with our facilitator, SUFFIAN.
MERCI BEAUCOUP SUFFIAN!!
ohh yah,our group name is splinter (even though we only seemed to use it once). Okay,back to the activities. To some,standing on top of the table shouting out your goals to a group of people may seem stupid and silly,but if one really does it wholeheartedly and puts 100% into it,the feeling you will get after the whole activity is really different. Through that activity,i really felt the motivation and drive to pursue that goal. YAY =) Today,we had that "Trustfall" game,the game which i had all along wanted to try and i finally did it today. Accidents do happen anytime,and we cant really blame it on anyone except to reflect on ourselves if we have given the faller the trust she needed. But i was really glad that despite that incident,our morale did not go all the way down but instead,it went up. HAHA,when i was about to fall,i hesitated and stood rooted onto the chair for a few seconds. Thanks to suffian who sounded really comforting and calmed me down. I had that thought of "ohh shit,i think im going to die" initially but on the very moment i landed on the hands of the people,i could feel that they were all trying their best to support. YES!! we did it again :)) The last game of the day was the spider webby game which lasted for 3 long hours which got all of us mentally and physically challenged. The confidence and self-awareness level of everyone single one seems to increase as time goes by,the sense of urgency and cooperation set in. We reached our goal by sending 8 people over during the last 15 minutes and that was really _______(feeling beyond description). It was soo great that i actually cried. HAHAHAHAH. christaping wants me to mention this. Once again,we did it!! cheers to a04 and s14!
Sometimes,we just get so emotional that tears just fall okay,christaping. dont laugh at me,i saw you crying also. HAHAH. We made a small "card" for suffian and wrote our notes for him. The most touching moment came when we were asked to go up to the facilitator and tell him whatever we wanted to say. HEEEE,i got abit too emotional again. To sum it all up,the 2 days' course was great,really great,a totally new and refreshing experience for most of us,i think.
=)
hockey training tomorrow!! i shall keep to my goal and go all out to achieve it. YAY =)
some things are meant to stay,some people are meant to go.
i guess this time it's for real, so
goodbye bye bye bye my friend.
