hey guys.....jus came back from the polydi camp not long ago....really had a great time at the camp....even though the living conditions of the place is not quite adaptable to me...hahaha....im sure that im not the only one who is agreeing to me loh!!!!!but anyways...was the group leader of the group called DISCIPLES!!!....even though we didnt win as a group.....but im really glad to take up this chance to lead a group....and i've learnt alot of things.....and one of which is that u really need interpersonal skills to be able to lead a group successfully la....cos everyone has different mindsets and are also of different characters....and everyone in the group except for xueqi is very unfamiliar to me even though we saw each other before in church.....but really thank God to place them in my life cos i've learnt that u really need to give them 'space' to breathe....u cant control them....u gotta give them their freedom....and even though im their leader....i didnt exercise total authority over them cos actually all of them are older then me....haha......but as christians....we are told to lead a joyful life.....and thats what as a group we did....
i always felt the teamwork that we have whenever we gather together to have disscussions.....everyone giving their opinions..maybe improvising on it further.....thats where i felt the unity between us even though sometimes we have disagreements in the group.....but i enjoyed having that....cos only when that happens....thats where we can stand up to learn from it....
anyways.....on the first day.....during the night game....we has group leaders are supposed to be 'kidnapped'....so there are a total of 10 groups leaders being hidden in the male and female dorm rooms....and the good thing is that we are being kept in the camp committee dorm.....which is air conditioned!!!yay!!!!and we group leaders came up to a conclusion that we should somehow treasure watever we have now.....and for the first time in my life....i cant sleep because of the heat....its so warm until that i gotta keep fanning myself and that im sweating....haix...what a day....but we came first!!!!100 points!!!!when the second day come.....the storyline for the drama and cheer came up.....and the campfire!!but even though we didnt won....but everyone worked hard and had fun together......then after that we had a unit meeting....where we played shepherd and sheep.....i pity joseph....stephen was such a great runner until that whenever joseph was blinked and tried to run away....stephen ALWAYS held him back no matter what de lo....hahaha.....pretty fun la the game and then we set our objectives this coming quarter...by july....how many sheeps we wanna have etc.....d.i 1c....thats my group....by then.....by faith....veron and i have faith to grow to a caregroup size of 7 by then....yay...!!!but during night time....i changed sleeping places and slept like a pig cos as it was raining....the weather was very cool and once i touched my pillow....i slept...then woken by huixian and the others....then went to sleep.....good sleep..hahaha....today's teaching was great...but was really tired....cos for the last 2 days....only managed to sleep for only a few hours....but something cropped up during then.....i suddenly hit xiuzhen....i wont mention where....she has infection in that area....so it bled and she was sent to the hospital with wendy accompanying her....so i felt really bad about it.....cos i knew her mum as i went to visit her at the hospital when she was being referred there......hmmm....so i told my dad about it.....he chided me instead la....cos she was under mc for a week......and the infection is not caused by me.....and the reason he chided me for it cos i felt that i needed to pay for her medical bills....haix......pray that He can make a way.........
