ltc
3 days no tv, no internet, not enuff sleep, no proper bathin( wash my hair in the sink, my long hair seems 2 go inside the holes in the sink… wonder wad’s inside haha), got irritations on my hands, legs n even bums, dunno is it rashes a not… jus red spots everywhere, b cause of the sea water, mosquito bites everywhere, guess wad, I’m still scratchin my hands now, my hands are like trembling, no strength. One last thingy, the first night n second night, the food was horrible, terrible n vegetable. I shall elaborate further. First night, e most “hell” food I ever had, ppl hu noe me noe tt I dun complain much abt food, I can jus eat.. most of the time I can finish it. But this time it was super horrible,(all e descriptions r frm e comments of my grp mates) the baby carrots taste like plastic, the fish taste like chicken, stonefish man( cant even poke it tru by fork???), the tofu no taste at all, reali tofu man, e rice … wow…. Marvelous, I can cook 10 times better than them, so soggy, a big clump of rice…….. 2 nd night, was much better, got drumstick, vegetables n egg, but the rice still taste horrible. I cant finish both meals, like eat less then half of e packet. U noe even e teachers cant finish lah, some even say it sucks!!!! Their xpressions r abt e same as us when they c e rice…. NO exaggerations, u can ask anyone hu is in LTC…. Their reply will b e same as me, or maybe worse. The last night was finally heaven, got buffet, creamy fish bagus!!! Prawns, chicken, meatballs, all sorts of heaven food, evry1’s plate is like mountain… they saved e money 4 e last meal…. K lah not too bad, at least got a good dinner.
Ok, enuff of the complaints, now is my reflections 4 e past 3 days.
My grp generally is not bad, I dunno y.. is like when come 2 discussions, we jus cant discuss… but when playin games, we r great, man!!! It takes time 4 evry1 2 bond 2gether, reali… n we did… all sorts of vulgarities..”fuck u lah, shit lah…. Etc” ahaha.. we r e HOOTERS!!! HOOT AH!!!!!!!! Sisterhood + brotherhood = hooters!!!! Hooters not hookers!!!!!!! Hahahaha….we read letters 2 one another as a form of encouragement…I will keep all e letters safely…. It is a pleasure 2 b wif u all…
Ah lian, ah hui, ah mei, ah deep, ah tiqah, ah guang, ah marcus, ah jon…. Thanx guys. I enjoyed tis LTC!!!!!
I reali learnt a lot frm tis LTC, leaders does not only lead, they serve e others as well. I’m strivin 2 b a servant leader- seek to shape others n myselves, seek to build, not destroy. Leaders cant do evrythin by themselves, 4 ccas, class etc, a leader cant cope wif all e problems, u need others 2 help… reali… like.. 4 e searaftin, can 1 person suggest a feasible way of building e raft, can 1 person build e raft??? I dun tink so, even if it does, it takes ages… u need evryone’s cooperation n support, hence things will work out, fast n efficient…. 4 e hike around pulau ubin, I learnt tt sometimes we mus tink of e weakest link, e strong mus help e weaks, n e weaker members should try hard aso… it’s ok if u didn win e race or competitions… u completed it… as a grp… it is somewhat remarkable, not evry1 can do tt… we mus learn… e product is not impt, is e process, although sometimes I say tis , but is until 2day I reali xperience it…. N I’m so happy. Trust is a very impt element in a grp, hav trust in urself n others… givin urself wholeheartedly, freely n joyfully, n u can benefit a lot… it is not easy 2 b a leader, I admire n respect all leaders…
A good leader mus listens actively to others, hear their words and feelings, gives support to one another, esp e weaker members of the group, able to recognize obstacles as opportunites for progressive changes. I will rmb e 4 ps tt issac lim had say… purpose, persevere, priviledge n poison!!!! Noe wad’s poison, hav a guess…
I reali mus thank Ivan, his words reali make me relect a lot, I tink he is a good leader, he shall b my role model…
