Life Rehearsal? At first, I just thought that it might be, well,
just a normal rehearsal for our life. What was in my mind that it
might be some kind of activities that might put me into a sleep. No!
I knew I was totally wrong right now. At first night here, together
with my buddy, Dennis and my cousin which I call her Nee Nee, well,
we really feel pretty awkward. But just in 2 days time we used to
stick together everywhere we go and not forgotten, Kay, the
talkative one and Ai Ching, a really sweet girl. Really glad that I
could met up with so many friends. All of them are really friendly.
All the huggies I get from them are so warm. I felt like it was a
blessing from them. I admit that I never hug so many people before.
I used to be a shy girl though and a passive one, somehow I felt
really had communication problem with others. But now what I felt is
that I really want to be more sociable. Other people can do it, why
not me? Another negative side of me is that, I am a timid person. My
heart is beating so fast whenever I need to talk in a crowd,
whenever I need to read in front of a class, or whenever everyone is
depending on me. That sounds funny right? I just do not know why
either. Why can’t I be brave a bit? Why can’t I be steady a bit? And
I found out that I don’t have self confidence in myself. Without
confidence, I would not have the bravery to be the first one to
stand up and do something. I will just continue to reply on other
people. No!! I don’t want to be this anymore. I want to change
myself. I simply need to change my mindset. I need to do the best
that I could. I do not need to be the best, but I need to try the
best that I could. I do not want to regret in the end of my life.
And to me, the most memorable one was that we need to close our eyes
in the darkness. In the darkness, out of a sudden, I heard that my
parents involved in an accident! It was so loud that I was really
shaking. I felt that my heart had been stabbed by a knife. I was
really scared. Tears started to burst out uncontrollably. Memories
with both my parents flash back in my mind, even though we were not
from a financially off family, we still could live happily. I knew
my dad had always wanted the best for his children. But what I did
in return? Showing them my angry look, trying to argue back and
asking for more and more pocket money. As the professor told us, all
these actions were as if a knife that stabbed, stabbed and stabbed
into their heart. At that moment, once again I burst into a sob. And
therefore, I made myself promise that I want to apologize in them
when I first saw them. I need to cherish the chance while they are
still with me. Nobody knows when they might leave us one day. So, I
want to thank my sister, Calista, for bringing me into this great
activity and special thank to professor for teaching us so many
things in reality. You have widened up our perspective and of course
all the cute angels. May god bless all of us. Thank you.
Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to our professor Ng
for conducting this course. This course although short but contains
many meaningful memories for me. I also did learn a lot of thing
during my 3 days stay here. I learnt how to give and take. I learnt
how to appreciate what our parents have did for us in our life.
I learnt that parents are the key to our life. Therefore, we must
learn to respect them. I also would like to thank our “angel” that
guides us during this course. I also knew a lot of new friends here
which make this 3 day more memorable. I fully support that this
course continues on to teach new people the facts of life. Thank
you.
It is just wonderful for the second time attending. A complete
different feeling.
With the participation of young buddies, you can feel a
different sense of adventure towards self discovery. It is so
fresh, vibrant and energetic even my body is tired.
I felt inner joy and happy to see them “going all out” to truly
enjoying the teamwork, discovery themselves and improving on
their potential. So affirmative that I have to ask myself a lot
of questions? And many question answered along the way.
