hongyu's reflection

Oops. it seems like i am the last to post my reflection here. am i? I'm so sorry because i was too occupied worrying about whether I'll get promoted or not.

Okay, now back to my reflection. We had a bonding session on Sat, Oct 6. Everyone came (yeah!). Finally we had a full attendance. so let's maintain it this way, people!

Basically on that day, i was quite tired throughout the whole session. Sorry YO! mates. I promise I'll be more enthusiastic during our next activity. I look forward to get to know my group mates more.

The teachers gave us quizzes. After glancing through all the questions, I realised I am super not prepared for the trip. I guess I have to do more research before going to yunnan to prevent awkward situations from happening. I am about to read up on their culture, their festivals etc.

During that day's lunch, I learnt another interesting fact about Yu Ang. He is a 大胃王 too.
I suggest we should have another cooking competition again since not many people had turned
up for the previous one.

After the session, I am more clear of what we're going to do there. Building roads may not be a big project compared to building a school. However, the impact maybe bigger. We're actually going to help the whole village and not just the students.

Also, I realised I just want to go there for fun initially (probably about 75%). Now that I realised service learning is a two way thing. I am glad i have realised it early or else this trip will be wasted.

YO! which is my group is going to capture happiness for the ACM project. Happiness doesn't mean just smiley faces. The concept is good (thanks to yu ang), however it'll be quite hard to capture that exact moment. So i guess we need to start practising. Before that, let's hope ACM will approve our idea. If she or he doesn't, we still have 2 other backup plans.

Lastly, we ended our session by taking group photos.
Here's YO! group photo:
