Zong Yao's Reflection

HELLO! this is zong yao, ONCE AGAIN!
Here's my reflection for today,6th October 2007.
-------------------------------------------
Today,most of my doubts regarding the trip were cleared,doubts like why the collaboration witht eh Asian Civilisation Museum, or why we switched from building a hostel to building a road.Of course, i was VERY convinced ( FYI,this is not sarcasm (; )

It's a day packed with lots of brainstorming - and i mean A LOT.Our teachers made us generate many questions about the trip, which eventually made me realise that i need to maximise my learning there so as to make the trip a more fruitful one.Also,my initial perception of the term OCIP sort of changed because of the intensive discussion we had.

OH!We had to bring an object that represents us.So i brought a mirror which my SA friend gave me during Valentine's Day.So i said that i am a very self-conscious person so and so forth.HENCE, I AM VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO SHOPPING AT AWESOME KUNMING, in additon to the work we have to do =)

OH!By the way,there were some changes to the groupings : as in, initially we always meet in our Programmes,Fund raising,Logistics group ; but now, we are going to meet in groups.My group has the name of Forever 18 because Miss Koh is always and forever 18 years old => Well, i'm very pleased with my group members cos we are able to click very well.Absolutely zilch communication problems.

-Some project details -
The county we will be visiting will be 95% Muslims which actually redefines our action plan.We have to consider several things before implementing them as we gotta bear in mind their customs and restrictons.OH! Miss Koh also explained to us the difference between a province,county and village, which i thought is kinda cool.

Despite the change in culture. There is -sadly- no change to the living environment. Guessed it?
YES IM TALKING ABOUT THE TOILET.
I'M VERY SURE THERE'LL BE LOTSA DRAMA BOUT IT =)

Today's meeting actually increased my interest for thr trip and my heart is itching to go to Yunnan.Let's all hope i'll be able to go for the trip despite my poor results =)


Regards, ZONG YAO!
