16 June 2007, mine 2nd wed anni.
A day I thought of just 跟着感觉走. And YES, simply that.
Decided to head towards Raffles City to take a look at that DONUT FACTORY. Queue was superb long. Gotten boy boy to queue. And 10mins, he questioned me, why am i queuing for this? Coz girl girl wants to eat. Haiz. Then he say, 1/2 year later then eat lar, and we left the queue. Bought papa beard instead. Actually its for my aunt. Coz going to her hse to visit.
Since my uncle passed away 7 years ago, I had not been that close to her. Although uncle pampered when he was around, but now, he left. So I also left. *wink* But I promised that if She ever needs me, I am always available for her regardless how bz am I. Its a promise that I never break. Bringing the DOM i bought, I visited her. Talking, chating, laughing all that i enjoyed the times with her, just that hour and half.
Went to Paya Lebar for mala steamboat.*yummy*
THe day ended with happiness, cheers and laughter. This had not happened quite some time back as I was all busy and pressured by the youth exchange. Now his turn to be pressured by the october youth exchange, "he added, pls forgive me if the upcoming pressure that change me from good to bad."
And I *wink*

Leo Forum 2007
3d2N forum, Penang.
A shanghai youth exchange that killed most of us. Now the leo forum. ALthough this, was meant to be the most relax one, but again, I suffered a long journey of butt torture, sleepless nights coz of chiong not enough.
31 May, we left.Headed towards Tuas checkpoint. Waited quite sometime for the bus to "appeared". Of course, I was angry for its lateness. Call to complain, jump at the service provider, That and this... And will not engage their service again.. COZ I FOUND SOMEONE ELSE.. Will try out this new vendor soon. But thinking back, by changing to someone else wouldnt solve some of the problem that we faced. Only way is to improve/ add on more to our request. Haha. Well lesson learnt.
1 Jun, Reached desination. Ray called. Terry called. Who else called.... erm.. oh ya most importantly, Terence called. Just called to ask whether night is available. Haiz. DIdnt even bother to ask whether my bus reached safetly anot??? Well, if not safe, they wouldnt have gotten me<*wink*>

Hey!! I'back.Home.Singapore.
Exactly 3 weeks that I travelled.
From Singapore-Hongkong-ShenZhen-Santou-ShangHai-Santou-Yunnan-Santou-GuangZhou-Singapore-Penang and finally back to Singapore.
Good times.Bad times.Fun times.Boring at times.Fustration at times. Worry at times.
All in all, I enjoyed.
*thinking hard what to reflect*
You guys must be thinking hard how to travel so much places within 3 weeks... heehe...
Most of the time i transitted from one place to the other.Stay around half to a night.
The critical events that took place within these 3 weeks were shanghai youth exchange, yunnan honeymoon and leo forum. And these 3 events took up almost 15 days of 21 days.
Youth Exchange. A long, memorable exchange i had as a facilitator. Moving along the acronymn "NATO", I realized I had move on further as compare to a just a participant. To worry, to plan and change as and when require in quick motion. Where people enjoyed, we smile. When people complained, we suffered. When people rest, we planned ahead. All these are totures in life? All facilitators life? Just remember, we are all volunteers. We here to makes the impossible possible. We exchange culture, language, habits and many +++++.
I had learnt that: believe in others=believe in yourself=making your life easier and smoother. Hahaha... What type of equation is that....
Well, Believe in other capbilities, will allow them to do things at their fullest potential. Thats the way they gained additional experience. So you believe in yourself in entrusting them to do things and makes you less worries and lesser workload....
3 things to recap from youth exchange:-
1) When people enjoyed.We smiled. By having a simple smile on your face, that makes a great day for everyone. Remember the water polo game that we played in a confined space. Everyone knows that is impossible. But to make it possible is to enjoy the game with a possible mind. So game went on, and people enjoyed. You gave a smile to appreciate their effort. They smile that they had enjoyed.
2) When people complained. We suffered. Haha. Y? They complained everything under the sun. Food lousy. Accomodation too much crampy. Instructions not clear. Too tough to complete task. Time too short to bath. Everything.Under the sun. So what we need to do, is to make an extra effort in sorting things out. Hence we suffered. BUt come again, if things are just that smooth, no challenge no fun.
3) When people rest, we planned ahead. As usual. We need to worry more. Although I was told to be a "NATO" facilitator, but still we have to plan ahead. What had done cannot be undone. So we can only look forward for the betterment. Not to repeat the mistake. With the plan on hand, to improve on it and not just execution.
MOving on.......
Yunnan Honeymoon.
After the tiring yet satisfactory exchange, thought it will a physical and mental break for me. But.Sianz. Got to climb mountain. Walk through jungle. Think of what to buy for friends... I think that's is all about china. All about mountains, trees and jungle.
Lastly, Leo Forum 2007
