alright... so i'm one of the last few tortoises . finally have the time to think and type out my reflections.firstly, just want to take this opportunity to apologise to everyone... sorry for that sudden outburst just now at the dance studio. moving on to the main topic here... being in OCIP has been a tremendous experience for me. i know everyone has been talking about how great it is to be in OCIP... so on and so forth. i think, i'm really thankful to be in this team. though many at times, there are bickers and disagreements..there are also times where we were able to complement each other. where in some areas we lack in, the others could easily make up for that. i guess, this is really how teamwork should be like. me being myself, have learnt a lot about teamwork through OCIP. having been very individualistic and extremely demanding, a selective perfectionist, i tend to focus on reaching my targets through my own ways and means. OCIP has allowed me to not only realise the importance of teamwork, it has also showed me the true value of friendships. these friendships that have been created and strengthened through this course, are treasured. especially, the close friendship with jon, raini, melvin and hongyu.also the other new friendships with renee, ian, dickson, ravin and josh.and definitely the continued friendships with my 2 secondary school bestfriends lelia and jings.i'm indefinitely grateful to Ms Lin for accepting jings into this OCIP family. as for my pre-trip feelings.. i can say that i'm both excited and indifferent. what an oxymoron.... excited cause this is my first trip overseas to do cip... which i totally love... especially when we are going to be interacting with the children in the orphanage. =D i love children. not forgetting the fact that i'm going to be travelling with people whom i love. =)) but, i'm also indifferent at the same time.... in the sense that going overseas with the school is no longer something new, so i'm not exactly andrenalised. wondering if any interesting things would happen there... i do hope so. =D something funny that would provide us with laughter and joy. okae... so, i think i've probably hit the 250 limit?? =D i think it's more than enough. ending off... hope we have a great trip. =DDgenevieve.
