Thursday, September 29, 2005
hi ladies and gentlemen. i was lazy to write something but wanna keep ur informed. so i decided to just put a diary style post which i wrote for fun yesterday night. the entry is about wat had happened yesterdae 28th sep. so understand as much as u can. photos will come in the next entry.
28th sep
free day at fisherman’s cove, doing team bonding with the fellow hgdp ppl.
Everything was fun with lotsa meanings behind every single action which was used in every game. Althought I had played most of these games before in my younger days, I didn’t learn as much as today. At least to the extent that it made perfect sense when the coaches explained it after the games.
Games go as the following
Caterpillar
Newspaper on sand
Paper planes
Passing marbles
Managers, workers, supervisors, observers
Passing of rope
As a captain, I think I should organize such activities in the future. Hopefully when I organize such activitites, the people are as vocal and as active as this bunch of people.
As a sporean, I feel that we sporeans are not as expressive and vocal and strong. From a general point of view, they are so willing to answer, show that they have something in them, trying to be different with the words they use and speaking out loud, daring to say.. on the other hand, if they didn’t have these qualities, they might not have been chosen to be management trainees.
Hopefully sporeans would strive and perform like that in the future.
To some extent, the communication barrier is disturbing and disruptive to the progress of me fitting in, but on another hand, it was me who choose to withdrew from being participative and keeping quiet at the start.
Isn this who I am not? Didn’t understand why did I choose to do that, not daring to present the my usual self. Is it because Im afraid that I wun fit in? scare that my decisions are being criticized. Something I should improve on.
Personnal feeling, I think that the Indian plans are structural very sound, but down to the everyday and down to earth doing of these stuffs, its where the flaws start to come in. being over aggressive or maybe im too soft, being too dictatoring of that I choose to keep quiet and compromise.
Ultimately it was a fun day.
