What does my future lies?

MIDNIGHT!/ Wednesday, April 12, 2006

I didn't have a smooth sailing day today.

Firstly. during break, 5 mins just before the bell rang, I went to the bookshop to photocopy our PIs. And when the bell went, I was still in the bookshop, waiting for the uncle to help me print the PIs. He just didn't see the need to be faster in movements, despite my reminder that I had a lesson. Too bad there wasn't 2 bookshops in aj. So as a result, I was late for the 30 minutes GP lesson and got scolded by mr Akshir.

During PW, I got stressed out by our group's GPP. It is just our group's first meeting, but the dateline to submit our GPP is only 2 weeks away. By week 6, we have to submit our first proposal, which leaves us with very little time to come up with it. But, I would say that my grouping is quite alright. Such a coincidence though, that 4 out of the 5 group members are in the same econs peer-tutor group too; shu xuan, kah ho, wei de and me.

For odac, we learnt navigation skills. Basically, orienteering. Although the hard skills are all too familiar to me, I did learn new things, especially soft skills wise. Suddenly, I see alot of flaws in my own character. I have to learn to be sensitive to others' feelings and to constantly think about my actions. I got quite some insights about leadership too. Chang Tai just amazes me.

It's not about being first, but it's the process.
A leader does little, but thinks alot. A follower does alot, but thinks a little.
Being a leader does not mean always leading others, but to let other people have a chance to lead also.
A leader has a harder job than just to choose sides. He must bring sides together.
No man will make a great leader who want to do it all himself, or to get the credit for doing it.

After training, odac 1 and odac 2 went to train for our 8 x 50m. I need more practice!! How come I either run too fast or too slow? And why is it that I can't pass the baton to stacey properly?

I'm frustrated too, that I haven't gotten back my pencil case. Am I disappointed with you? Or am I disappointed with myself that I depended too much on you?

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your heats and your mind in Christ Jesus -phil 4:6-7

Though my day wasn't that great, in fact, I had a bad day, I'm still thankful for what happened today. I'm thankful that I have friends who are so concerned about me and thankful that God answered my prayers. I haven't had the discipline to do my quiet time lately. Been praying to God that He'll give me the discipline to do so, that I will practice good time management. And He did. Kenneth just reminded me that we have to do our QTs, no matter how busy we are.

Past. Present. Future
