Ok... today was first time i attempted to be grp leader during yf... it was pretty baaad. like a nightmare come true. i dont know if it's me or my members, but the whole thing was, like, dead. n i really tried to keep ppl talkin, but maybe there r too little ppl, or they're too tired.
-shrugs-
i really appreciate my daoshi, Haowen, addin in some stuff when no one has anything to say. it's a form of support n encouragement for me. thanks :)
but still, i guess i've got to work on my leadership skills. needda thinkof how to get them on high. hmmm, time to read How To Win Friends & Influence People, by Dale Carnegie. it has been collecting dust since my dad gave it to me last yr.
sighx...
never thought i'll have to pick it up now... i alwayz thought my social abilities is quite ok. well, seems not.
i wanted to talk to jamie or minnie abt this as soon as yf ended n we went down for cap.ball, coz that's so ME, but i controlled myself n let it go. i mean, i shld be hopeful right? and no one ever said being a grp leader was easy. n it's only the first day.
It's juz that, i wuz really psyched up abt this whole grp leader thing, until the actual time came... perhaps i shld try gettin closer to my members.
Oh well.
Enough for this topic.
We played cap.ball after that, n actually i didn't wanna play, coz my shoulders are aching after golf ytd, budden minnie said im grp leader, so shld play. i thought it made sense, so i played lorr.
The game wasnt as bad as during UB4, during which the discrimination against the shorter ones (i.e girls) was really quite bad. I actually had fun, n i saw how incredibly gd the guyz are. ppl like henry, jun'an, TY, zhixuan, mingyao etc etc.
Feel kindda sad have to leave the game early, but i wuz gettin tired anyway.
But yeah, back to the point. Good job, guyz, there's improvement on SPORTSMANSHIP. And im glad there's an effort made to involve the newcomers, like jamie n samuel.
Yayy. Im pleased with yf ^-^
Oh yarhh.
Im lookin forward to my trip to balai!!
It'll be such a cool learning n serving experience :D
Well, really tired now. wanna sleep le.
Bye!
