Last weekend, all 39 TF-Learn scholar had attend for a workshop in Pulau Ubin. Pulau Ubin is 2nd biggest inland in Singapore. We had ran many activities in there...I feel that this workshop had give me a great experience and enjoy my 1st camping.
I still remember that the 1st camp that i attend is the 22th YBAM community services training camp in KL. That camp i tot is camping also. All stuff that i bring is camping stuff, but when i reach there only i know that this is a Buddhist camp,so not camping.I need to borrow long pant with Peyyi.
So, this camping in Pulau Ubin is my 1st camping, still remember that i always image that i can camping in a island 1 day. This dream had come true. At first i feel not very exited to go, bcos many tutorial and homework to do, study life in NUS is not like USM. I need to follow up all on time, if not will get into trouble. Plus i dint prepare that i need to join activity like that...So i need to buy a sleeping bag but i m lack of money, bcos the scholarship not yet come. Finally i found that Rhian got it, so i borrow with her in Tampines, which is need 45mins MRT from NUS.All this things make me tired and not very interested in this event.
However, those negative thinking had gone after i reach Pulau Ubin. There is really wat in my dreams and i start feel that i will enjoy this camping and workshop. The 1st activity is ice breaking. This ice breaking make me a bit nervous bcos it need to done in english. Most my friend also know that my english is not good. This ice breaking make me know that i no choice, i need to use to it, bcos 39 of us are come from different country in Asia. We need to communicate in english and not our own language.
2nd activity is we divide into 5 groups, we need to interview 3 ppl for different background in Pulau Ubin. From this activity, we learn how to approach different kind of ppl and understand that wat we wan to give not everybody need it. We need to think on their stand and try to know wat is their needs.
We only give $4 for lunch and breakfast on the next day. This a a challenges for us to work in groups and get foods. 7 of us had a big fried rice that cost $15,Another we save for breakfast and water. but wat make i not happy is we r not enough of water and had buy to much breakfast and cant finish it.
This workshop had a lot of presentation and sharing, this make me use to english. We are not always in the same groups, group members are always change, every ppl are playing different role in different activities. Eddy which is Prof. from Faculty of Business had teach us many things abt how to "Services and Learning" . Yi min and Seng Yew are student of Eddy which also sharing a lot with us. This make this camping very meaning and compact.
We had a race to complete our workshop and know more abt this island. 3 task had give to us and we need to completed them in 2 hours time. This make me very exited and happy to have it. We are divide into 8 group and start our journey in Pulau Ubin. For our group,we not like others which rent bicycle or van, % of us take "11 bus" to our destination. We are enjoy this race by walking and chatting along the race. I think the distance is more than 10km...I felt proud that our group work together and dint separate like others. We are last group of the race but we had try our best..hehe
After we reach, we having chit chat and rest session b4 go back to Singapore mainland. I hd get a great information and very surprise abt that. This i will share in next blog. In conclusion, i wan to thanks all my friends from different country of Asia, i very happy to know all of u and hope our friendship forever ~~~~
