Well its finally my turn to blog, time seems to fly when we are having so much fun. I still feel like staying here forever with my friends. Well today sure is an eventful day for me, I am not going to write a lot as I do not feel very well so i will write a short post.
First thing today was the lecture about NASA Space Suits and Zero Gravity Experiments. Well for me it was intersting as I am interested in aerospace and planes. The first interesting thing that i noticed during the lecture is that they use video chat to allow the lecturer from Texas to talk to us about Zero Gravity. NASA use planes to fly parabolic flights at high altitudes to stimulate zero gravity for about 30 seconds. This effect can be used to conduct experiments like knowing how the human body react in zero gravity. They even have a student programme to allow students to know how it feels like in zero gravity. They said that they gave the students this experience so that they can bring back this positive feeling back to their community and inspire others. I feel that we can do the same thing to this trip and bring back our experience so that we can teach and inspire others as we are the only 10 chosen out of so many students to attend this trip. So we should make use of this honour that we are given and share it with as many people as possible.
Next thing i am going to talk about is the leadership lecture. I am just going to write down a few quotes. The first quote is that rest, exercise, sleep help to build good leadership. If we rest and exercise and sleep, we will have enough stamina to continue leading others. The next quote is Leadership does not even exist without followship. I think this further supports that to know that you are a good leader, all you need to do is to turn back and see if anyone is following you. Well during the lecture, i noticed some people are sleeping at the back and not paying attention. I think they should not do that as the lecture came from a long way away and we should at least pay attention to him even though we are very tired as he spent a lot of his time to give us this leadership talk.
Lastly is the Trinity's got talent activity this night. Well I had a lot of fun singing even though i had a headach and was not feeling well. Overall for the performance i think we did quite well but i think we all need to work on our communication as a few of us did not know what song we are performing tonight and we only got to know about it yesterday. I must admit that i was quite upset about it as i felt as if i was not part of the group as i did not noticed we even had a discussion about it and a decision was made without us knowing. This reminded me of my mentor group as they kind of isolate me and do not really care about me being part of the group so i was really scared that you guys are doing the same to me. Yes, i was scared. I hate being pushed aside and being ignored and being alone so i was really scared that i will end up belonging to no group. By the way i said i was upset, not angry so please do not be mistaken.(I do not get angry so easily)So i hope this will help you guys understand why i felt so upset today. I do not really know how to express how i feel so i will work on that and hope you guys will understand and help me if you can. Thanks guys:)Feel so much better now.

I must say that it is a once in a blue moon that i see Dun Kai flare up. A once in a lifetime experience indeed. It is understandable to feel angry, however this also links us to what Ms Low said about emotion management.
ReplyDeleteBut i agree that Trinity's Got Talent was enjoyable even though i did not hear about the song that we were performing until that night. I had a taste of many people's talents all around the world, learnt to appreciate other peoples' culture and talents.
I think that a leader must have followers and a followers must have a leader. Leaders may not need to be leading forever and sometimes they have follow, therefore, i think its a two way thing.
ReplyDeleteI or we enjoyed Trinity's Got Talent, even though at first we may feel that its embarrassing to go up stage to perform. We sang viva la vida and i hope we have enjoyed ourselves and strengthen our bond through that.
Well i am not angry at that time. I was upset. They are two different things. I do not really know how to explain the feeling.I just left very left out and isolated at that time.The feeling was very chokeing.It felt like i could not breath. I felt a sense of no belonging.I guess this was cause by my mentor group as they were leaving me out and sort of isolating me.
ReplyDeleteI do not think they did it on purpose so I cannot blame them as it was not intentional.Well like what Jing Yi mention of Miss Low saying of controlling our emotions and preventing them from affecting us too much, I will continue to work on that.
I apologise to everyone if i gave you guys a scare or anything. I was not mad at you guys, I just felt very left out at that time. Its was quite an interesting experience from me and everyone who saw me flare up. I will learn from this experience.
Hope you guys will not hold any grudges for what i may had said or done that day. I was not in my right mind.
Well i fine now, and goodbyes guys! :)
