LMSC.
Monday, June 16, 2008 @ 11:30:00 PM
i went for LMSC on 9th and 10th. =D
09/06: LMSC DAY ONE.
okay let us look at who do i have in squad 5.
CCHM: rui jing, jennifer, kian how, li hao, lin bing.
TKGS: khaleedah.
BRD: teng tat.
TeKSS: benjaporn, madzri.
TKSS: tyson, jeshua, brandon.
ST PAT: eng houw, zhen wei.
it was my first LMSC and i was really nervous. lol. early in the morning we changed into full uniform and awaited the arrival of the cadets. i assigned myself to squad 5 which in the end, a lot of the chung cheng kids were transferred to my squad. alright, not really transferred but they volunteered themselves. =D
we had a short session before anything starts. i told and showed them how to check uniforms. it is either i am cui or they are really dead. x= as much as i hope that it is the second option, i guess there is a major part of the first option? x=
MOI after lecture. i think i showed A BIT of attitude during it. LOL. i know i should not but i was A BIT angry by their tardiness. it was lunch! hahaha. the favourite moment of pang zhuang yi's life. one packet of rice and 7 puddings down. oops!
jasmine was the first to get shot by the experience sharing suggested by jun yi. alright. i was really scared to get shot. lol.
i had my second private moment with the squad. not really private but discussion time. as usual, the chung cheng kids were rather enthusiastic and the rest are A BIT dead. i could see many starting to open up and bond as a squad, which is good. =D
not forgetting to mention that the instructors were constantly taking pictures. lol. i was the one initiating it often. =D
was that feelings or pure care and concern?10/06: LMSC DAY TWO.
my squad shrank. x= by 2 and expanded by 1.
cease everything before you learn it the hard way.leadership lecture followed by LUNCH! 2 packets of rice and 2 puddings went down my throat to my stomach. lol. gigantic appetite huh. XD.
TBG! where i got some ideas for ATC TBG.
key pad was their warm up session. they played it repeatedly, breaking their own records. in the end, broken by jasmine's squad with 5+ seconds?
poncho fold. they insisted that they have done a fantastic job by folding it 8 halves out of the possible 7 halves. XD. this is also the part where they like me? LOL. i was just kidding by that statement. they told me to tell the other instructors that they folded it at least 6 times. coz the method they used for the 5th time, was sort of prompted by me. so a squad which breaks the record is a good one and it will look good on the instructor as well. a scheming squad huh.
spider web. jennifer thanked me for saving her life. LOL. she was lifted to the other side with only boys so i helped to carry her down. XD. rui jing was floated to the other side by the space on the top and of course, they destroyed the web. a scheming AND violent squad i led.
let's hold hands. they did not succeed in this. they are supposed to move one grid by one grid, not fall out of the papers and not release their hands. they took around 10 minutes to complete it but some of them released their squadmates' hands and stepped out of the boundary. they tried it for the second time and i think i did not really mention to them that they are only allowed to move one step by one per person. x=
this is the activity which the whole squad was very energetic and really bonded. saying that they are bonded now, is a contradiction to what will happen later.
treading on dangerous waters. it was the activity which i felt it was not really well done by squad 5. although they achieved their common goal, but some were left out. team building is not like this. )= which i think i also failed as their instructor. )=
last moment and last debrief with the squad.
cu yi nong nong, hao nan shou.
we returned to the LT for the last part of TB lecture. debrief: everyone spoke up. (= i told them how i felt. a mini activity by jun yi. he told everyone to take out their coloured papers and to pass around to their friends to write comments about them. i received around 10 pieces, which means it is not everyone's, to write on.
wah. i felt touched and good! hahaha.
i do not know how to describe the feeling. (=
it is a kind of experiential learning.
what made you say that?
the desire for more moments?
or plain care and concern?
