K la since it's the last day of November I guess I should at least have an update about myself. To tell you the truth I've become so much darker. I guess I'm currently even darker than the result of my burnt skin I had after the two weeks of hardcore marching. Imagine that okay, I'm darker than THAT.

So people have been saying I'm cute, adorable in Leo Leadership Camp, I guess now they have changed their mind because of my skin colour, oops. My mom said she wouldn't promise to let me go if she knew this would be the 'outcome' of the camp.

Let me just briefly tell you what I've learned about myself, being in a team and also about.. essential living knowledge? Hmm..

What I've learned about myself:
1. I'm a bad leader.
Real bad.
Well I guess I wasn't born to have a leadership skill in me.

Why do I think so?

a. I'm blur.
Yes I am, everyone says so but trust me this really is only one of the reasons. Just because I'm blur I have to listen to instructions for a several times. My mind just can't focus on what people say whenever they speak A LOT, as in A LOT, or not. I will just lose focus and look around then stupidly realising I haven't been concentrating then I will try my best to focus again but I still end up unconsciously repeating the losing-focus steps.

b. I'm an introvert.

Whenever I have something in mind I wouldn't speak up. (Can't believe I always tell Kyleen to speak up but I, myself can't.) I'm too afraid to say something that sounds stupid but whenever I have to, THEY SOUND ABSURD. That's why I prefer to keep my mouth shut because the minute I speak I will regret. -_-

I still have no idea why whenever I say something, they're always wrong; but whenever I shut my mouth up they turn out always will be right.

Annoying.

c. I'm not creative.

Yeah man, I really admire people who have so much ideas in their mind. I think creative minds=master minds. Whatever they say just makes so much sense. In the sense of uhm..because most of the games require thinking.. Just because I'm the leader I need to make decision but I just can't which I don't know why. I think it's because I don't have my own stand, which is bad.

d. I'm slow.

Slow in understanding, digesting whatever people say.


2. I'm cute.


HAHAHA. I know how I don't admit it but everyone says so, so..

And also Marvin Leong, HE IS ADORABLE. HE SMILED AT HIS OWN CUP NOODLE EVEN WHEN HIS FINGER WAS BURNT BY REALLY REALLY HOT WATER.



3. I'm kinda emotional. LOL.

I cried in front of the crowd because I'm a bad leader so I apologised.

4. But I'm a kinda happy person too.

The way I try my best to entertain each one of my group member even when I'm down. The way I cheer for other team members/ team(without having the kiasu feeling. I'm impressed, LOL.

What I learned being in a team:
1. To trust.


Trust each one of them.

2. Everyone of them has their own yet-to-be discovered talent.


Whether in memorising, remembering, having a creative mind, being a total artsy fella, etc.

3. Teamwork


4. To support everyone in the team.

Whether when they are discouraged, afraid of something, feeling depressed about themselves.. They'll find courage through trust and from supportive teammates.

5. Listen to only one leader.

To avoid causing confusion.

6. Not to put pressure on only a person.

They will be so stressed out, you just won't know if it's not you.

Essential living knowledge like surviving:
1. In the jungle.

What if one day you find yourself being stuck in a jungle? What would you do?

a. Find a stream and follow the stream until you can find a village.. or you may just need a stream to drink water.


b Eat leaves/ fruits from trees by following these steps below:-



Fruits
First, look around and see if the fruit you've found is eaten by any animal, of course if you ever see monkeys eating them, you will be sure that the fruit is edible.

But if you don't seem to find animals around.. follow these steps below:-
i. place it under your nose to smell it for at least 2 minutes until if you feel the itch that means it's poisonous.
ii. rub it on your thinner parts of skin for about 3 minutes if you feel the itch then you will know if it's edible.
iii. place it under your tongue and leave it for a while. If you don't feel the itch then you're sure that you can eat it.

Leaves
Make sure the leaves are about 5 feet tall because they are not easily touched by dirty wild land animals.

You just have to keep folding and repeat the steps i have mentioned to ensure if a fruit is poisonous.
i. fold once and place it under your nose.
ii. fold a few more times then rub on your skin.
iii. if it's still fold-able then place it under your tongue to taste it.

2. In the water.
Whenever you are involved with activities that are related to water you MUST wear a life jacket. So that's why if you ever ride on a cruise the first thing you do is to search for life jacket so that you know where they place them.

I've learned to float on the water with the life jacket on. YAY, but I'm still scared, but not so scared.
I've also learned to turn a kayak boat when it overturns. YAY.


3. Above the ground.
Flying fox was so FUN!!! :D Oh uhmm I've learned repeling thingy and safety thingy, how you should put them and stuff.. HOORAY :D



Overall I've experienced SO SO MUCH. RM240 is worth it, really!

But now, sigh, I've to deal with Rumah Hope, which is kinda annoying! I've been dealing with them for almost a month and they still refuse to reply my email etc.. I'm so tired of that. :( Feel like being irresponsible but I can't! SIGH.




YES, I went hiking and to tell you the truth, I almost died. Thank God for two supportive friends, HAHA, the moment when you're near to fainting, they volunteer to carry your backpack and er, idk, take pictures of your dying face? HAHAHA. Okay that didn't sound as supportive like I've told earlier.



No, those ang mo are not us.



These are.
Of course these are, 'cause we look so much happier right? :D

But hold on,..



Not this, next.




I WAS GONNA FAINT. It wasn't because I really wanted to go home. I wish I was more fit, like seriously. I was the weakest. HOW AM I GONNA LEAD THE MEMBERS LOL I WONDER.



But we still had a good day. Look at my disco pose. DA BEST.

Which reminds me of yesterday's How I Met Your Mother - The Stamp Tramp, because uhmm, this disco pose is not by anyone of us but, we got it from.. somewhere, by some guy in our school whom, er, did this when he was doing a freestyle pose. We stole his brilliant idea because we thought it was really *coughs* adorable that a guy would do such thing, but even if this guy reads my blog (dream on), I think he wouldn't be angry because I saved his life during that 'photoshoot' session. He almost, uhmm.. not to say died, but.. SO CLOSE.

I just stalked myself again. No, no, that's not the point, but look at this! THE ADORABLE ME JOGGING.



The one behind me looks like SLENDER. Trolol. It's Erica. :b
And the last, sadly to say, Edwina Yeoh.

I've grown up, haven't I?

I haven't been doing anything productive. Sigh. I will be so busy from tomorrow onwards.
Speaking of it, I wanted to do so much.

1. Baking.




But no nuts. I mean NO PEANUTS. I need them.

2. Reading.



It just failed.

3. Studying.


Reason why it failed?

-says it all.

BUT, it's also because we have a perception that holiday is not meant for studying but to laze around. Therefore.. TADA.

You SHOULD be curious about what I've been doing this month.
1. Korean drama




Was expecting to learn sigh language out of it because the main actor and the actress's mama are.. uhmm deaf but too bad.. I didn't really learn any except.. "like a fool" & "together".. I learn more in nursery church being a teacher. LOL.

Together:


I expect myself to be crying a lot in parts that I usually will cry, but it turned out became so heartless LOL. I found some parts super touching but I wasn't even close to crying, plus, I was yawning a lot. Oh did I mention the actress's dad is a, not so smart person.. like.. hmm, uneducated, no knowledge person. Okay, he gets confused easily and is naive. So it makes the drama more touching.

First five episodes were about introducing the characters. That's why. By the way, since I'm quite free now so I shall talk about the drama.

a. He was Bong Ma Roo whom became Jang Joon Ha the doctor. He ran away from home when he was fifteen. Reason was because he wanted to live a better life, not to be with a father whom he thinks it's embarrassing to live with, a stepmother who is a deaf, a family which was really poor and too noisy for him. He was always the first in school and got scholarship and got adopted as a rich lady's son (which turned out was a revenge to her husband.) Originally a rich man's son that wanted his ex-girlfriend to have an abortion when he knew about this baby.





b. Bong Woo Ri. Didn't have a name because her mom was deaf until her mom passed away. Grew up with step father and step grandma(??). Dreamed of being a pianist but was too poor to be one so she asked her friend, (the main actor) Cha Dong Joo to teach him when she was nine until one day he was gotten into an accident they stopped meeting each other. She thought he didn't keep his promise to teach her Melodica. She was crazily looking for her missing brother for 16 years which turned out was Cha Dong Joo's brother too.





c. Cha Dong Joo. Unfortunately due to an accident he became deaf when he was fourteen. Which was on the day he came back after sneaking out to teach his friend Melodica. [I actually think the kid looks super adorable LOL] but anyway, he witnessed his grandpa being killed by his step father so he wanted to take revenge after being convinced by his own mother. It took 16 years to plan and he had to pretend he was normal to the world so he learned how to "read lips".





-site info-


They became siblings. YUP, it's complicated. Although it turned out to be not quite a nice drama but the main actor has a sweet smile. LOL.

K. that's all for today. Goodnight. OH, I slept in Zoe's house which I think I was being quite rude until her mom came to me with a blanket I felt really touched. :b


Ladies and gentlemen,
