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
