Leadership - Week 1

Just a quick update for those who are still concerned about my life. The first week of leadership training was really long and draining. Time passed really slowly, and the activities were all tightly packed against each other so much so that we hardly had time to rest. Much of the training was geared towards instructional leadership, so we were given many scenarios to teach like giving lectures about drills and weaponry. There was even a time we were each given a word or a phrase, and we had to present a lecture for 5 minutes, and the second round was 10 minutes. My first phrase was "paddle boats" of which i totally messed it up. My second one was "masking tape", which was equally hard to lecture for 10 minutes, but somehow i managed to put through. In fact i did an inspiring speech, talking about taping up the broken pieces of your life together, and masking tape for directions in life. Other than all these mental exercises, the physical ones were equally demanding. We train with 15kg bagpacks, climbing up and down bukit timah hill. And of course you can imagine all the running, push-ups, sit-ups, etc... And i was having a bad cough and sore throat. Couldn't really breathe properly. Fortunately there's the weekend to recuperate, though it wasn't very long since i only booked out on Saturday at 1pm. Still i managed to visit KE7 wushu and dance on Sunday night since we were allowed to book in later on Sunday night. Thank God so much for bringing me through the week. Thank you Dear for the refreshing outing on Saturday. And thanks to all those who made my short stay at KE7 that night fun and enjoyable.
