Heehee, those who have read another blog of mine, might find what i write here the same coz i basically juz cut and paste:p This is, i can say, the longest blog i have ever written ba. So many thots have been flowing in me ever since this yr's Insync....
Hmm...nowadays i tried updating my own blog every month once coz always kena nagged :p I remebered last year i practically have not update it for almost half a year! But, now..haha, changing and trying to be constant. Can't believe i'm starting to blog now, like last year, i took 2 weeks after the trip to start bloggin down my thots! Whoever is reading, so sorry, i wrote some words in short-form:p

Some pics to share:)



This year's Insyc, was a total mystery to all. Dad was disapproving but well haha, got mum to say yes:p I'm select to be one of the leaders of our group. This was quite a challenge to me. Felt stress but excited when got this task. As clues of the trip was disclose to us bit by bit, we were trying to piece out what and where we might be heading to but still….guessing…. Instructions was told to pack light…we got the message but, when started packing, it juz got heavier (mine was super heavy commented by others:p). We were asked to do up a fairytale musical (Beast and the Beast was selected by us) to be performed during Insync. It was ages ago when I ever did a skit (although also fairytale but I no need perform:p). Scripting was headache. My brain doesn't trigger any thots of how to go abt the story. But well, like b4, my ideas started to float in at 1am+:p. Took me abt 2 hrs to write it. I was worried because I'm afraid my members might not like the whole plot, but I did my best. When disclose to them, I'm happy to see them very spontaneously responed. This is some experience and sensation I have long forgotten since schools days.

Finally, the start of day 1: Wah, have a super heavy bag! Bro was at home. B4 I left, I heard him called mum and told her to get Dad to pick me up coz my bag is too bulky…soooo touch!!! Then mum called to ask if I'm ready. When ready, dad came and we left for office (although is a 5 min car jorney, it means a lot to me haha) So start of the day, still mysterious as we were to get instructions one by one. Finally, the 1st task: Amazing Race like game in Singapore. This was fun but without burden would be better:p The station games are fun as some are those that most of us have not played b4, Upon knowing our final destination: Harbour Front, more or less guessed from there that we are going to take a boat to somewhere...Still not feeling secure coz no confirmation was said, its purely our guessing. When everyone assembled and we were told that we are going to Batam Holiday Inn, i was quite excited. Upon arrival at Holiday Inn, the 1st thot is....this place is so superb! The scenery and the room are not something that i have expected haha:p So have a quick shower & went down for dinner then had debrief for the leaders by Keith. I told Kasma, Pauline and Anthony to help coordinate get the rest of the members to go to the gals' room for their debrief (which happen to be our Gwee who is in our grp) and may start rehearsal of the skit if they can. I was so..so...so touched when i open the door to see the whole lot rehearsing! U guys desevres a round of applauses *claps..*Then we have a round or 2 of rehearsal again till ard 12+am then we were off for the nite. I was then starting to edit the songs as they commented its too long and dragging. Took me ~2 hrs to figure and get everything out nicely. Sometimes i think i'm a bit carried away. Then start a bit of the blog on MSWord..Finally...i was too exhausted, so decided to turn in. Din really sleep well but still ok.(~2:45am S'pore Time)

Wah….now Day 2…din have much time to write this blog! When I was rearranging this and finally set n going to bed is already 4+am(S’pore time)!!! This 2 days had set me thinking a lot about myself. I seriously can see I really lack of the firmness that I can see in others. Sometimes being too nice is not good, that I know, but I think this I can change. Oh...as on day 1 travelling ard to get clues or tools for our next move, we saw the tools tat we are getting, so was suspecting might build sandcastle or something. I share wif with some of them that me and my buddies did a mermaid in Sentosa earlier this yr. Then they incorprate this idea for our activity :) Sometimes seeing ur comments and ideas being put to use is of quite a good feeling, the feeling of being accepted. My organzing skills I think also shaky as I tend to give in to others:p This is what i feel when playing the water polo game. I was totally demoralised by the result and was lost when halfway through the game, we have to get replacements. Unable to think a step further does matters. So eventually, we lost. Though demoralised, they played well and enjoyed. I was thinking to myself, when we did the board balancing, we did it pretty well. This is the game where all are having their own views but some are those that i think are not workable and they we so firm that their ideas could work. I know i was getting a bit agitaed so i tried to keep cool. I can feel my tone changed and spoke louder and more determined(:p) to make sure others got my message, that i only wanna hear a person giving out instructions. And we did it, getting the best timing among the other groups. So it was like a time in heaven when u win, and dropped to earth when you lose... So in order not to have this mood affecting me, i went around talking with others and helping take pics, if not i think i'll be very depressed. Lucky that my nature is the bad things goes away fast haha:p Throughout this whole event, i experience the kind of leadership and responsibility i have long forgotten ever since i left ITE. This feeling is so much stronger compared to last year's chairing of Synergy. I know that i lack of the confidence and firmness. Well, I see my weakness, I will try to overcome and improve….without being agitated:p This year's Insync sets a lot of thots in me...Lots of reflections to be done from time to time. I learnt a lot from others and see more of myself. Feeling in me...a change might be on the way hahaha:p
