Today I went for the leadership seminar at school. It was held in the primary school library. First I thought (everyone included) that it would be boring. 8am-5pm dei.....9 fricking hours! When it started, I still thought it sucked.... Just before the break (there was some time for people to eat breakfast), it began to get better! They splitted everyone to 7 groups (there's 75 people). My group was captained by Bala, and comprised of Ashley, Hemah, Justine, Sharon, Sabrina, Nalini, Jay, Jason, Andy and me. Then they gave us a test! Maths test. Damn simple. But thank God Nalini asked us to read the instructions first because....in the test,+ means - and - means + whereas divide means multiply and multiply means divide. LOL.
They got this guy who talks on RTM to come and talk to us. Talked a bit long but quite funny. After that, they had a lot of competitions. Thinest guy. Tallest guy. Prettiest girl. Fattest guy. I took part in the fattest guy. -_-". So the insulting. Luckily I lost (or unfortunately). Haha. Come on la. Bala and Jay Min are like sticks while Jason is not even close to fat and Andy.......is just Andy. So I went....and lost. Haha. Going into lunch break, our group, which is GROUP 2, were in the lead on points! Woohoo!
During lunch, I played football and basketball! So fun. Whay Ying gave me a scratch about 1cm long down my middle finger of my left hand. Ouch.....
After lunch we had aerobics! Then we had an aerobics competition. I took part.....and lost. DAMN. Lol. Then we had the ultimate team-work based competition. We were seperated into guys and girls. Then, all the guys had to hug each other and they tied us around with a thread. They did the same thing with the girls. Then they tied the guy's thread to the girl's thread. So the thread sort of looks like this, with the people in the circles:
o-o
Then, the guys and the girls each have to carry a chair with a water balloon on top of it. The water balloon cant drop and the thread must not break. Then, we have to walk along a course, which includes climbing steps, squeezing in between pillars and squeezing between plants, and try to pick up as many photostated money on the way. Each balloon that did not burst earns the team 2000 points and the if the thread did not snap more than once, the group gets and extra 2000 points. After you finish the course, they will toss the water balloon into the air and you must catch it without bursting the balloon. Each save gets extra 500 points. Bala caught 2. Andy burst the third one. Impulsive force.....Andy did not use the proper technique to reduce the impulsive force even though he was told how to by Bala and I. LOL.
The speaker guy explained that the course is like our lives. The balloons represents our responsibilities. We have to attend and take care of them. The thread is the rules around us. We cannot break the rules. On the way, we have to work together and try to collect as much money as we can while caring for our responsibilities and not breaking the rules. Quite good metaphor in my opinion.
In the end, I think our group came out tops. But they didn't mention it because it was all about learning.LOL. Anyway, the seminar was then over.
I played football and basketball for about 45 minutes before going back.
Blardy rocking, exciting, chunted, cool, fun DAY!!!!! Worth every part of the RM15 I paid.
P.S: I got a new dog! A 18-month-old rottweiler (is that how you spell it?)!!!!! It's so fricking cute! It's big, furry and wet! And my dad also bought another puppy rottweiler! So cute! Can guard the house and can play! Awesome!
