march camp @ 8:38 PM
shag manz... throat destroyed from all the shouting, pimples growing like summer flowers coz din bathe, and my dad told me i slimmed down a lot when i came back... can imagine la.
i dun wanna tok abt wat happened in the camp, but juz my reflections on it... squad 6, like Isaac said to me, is a very diverse squad. ppl come with different thoughts, different personalities, different views on everything. thus, its very difficult to actualli get them together. this camp is unique in that the physical factor is just right, but it actually teaches u wat u realli need to learn and develop. and that's exactly wat i've done. definately the Amazing Race is the peak of it all. But i think tat everything as a whole led me to develop my leadership abilities and try my styles out. i totally agree with wat my snrs have taught me. its not whether i encourage anot, its whether i sound encouraging. its not whether i lead anot, but if each member in the team leads the whole squad together. its not if we can, its if we want to.
hey guys from squad 6, if u're reading this, i'm very sorri if i realli sounded harsh and very hierarchical. i was realli battling my emotions, diverse opinions and logic. ya, i'll definately listen to everyone more. please gif me some time to change for the better.
i feel tat i've definately improved. not so discreet, not so vulgar (er hem), not so selfish. i juz need to improve on it more and i believe with time, it'll improve. i have to be more open to ideas, and not contradict or resist ideas from other squad-mates. if need be, i needa explain more on why i made the decision not to do wat they requested.
realli wanna thank my whole squad for the excellent lessons we learnt with each other. and special thanks to Samuel and Marvin for keeping the whole squad's spirits up when it was low. i'm sorri i couldn't do it. juz din noe how to boost squad morale... and definately Long Kuan and Isaac, for guiding the whole squad all the way and using the camp as a pointer to help me improve.
this camp, although not physically challenging, was mentally challenging. its one i'll never forget. one very important point is:
IT'S NOT WHO'S THE LEADER, BUT IF EVERYONE IN THE GROUP IS A LEADER.
he left a mark
