Games day
Hi ppl.. long time never blog liao.. was too busy..
Well ystd got games day.. A very tiring event.. alot of last min preparations was done only the day b4 the actual event.. I was assigned to plan the telematch and the sweets and flour game.. so for all those who dont like that game, come find me.. haha..
During ystd event, i really learned alot of things.. i've learned what my strengths are and what my weaknesses are.. I've learned lessons bout firstly responsibility.. Sometimes when it comes to planning of events like this, we may need to buy equipments.. so as we need balloons for the games ystd, we only went to find the balloons only the night before the event.. So sometimes we gotta be kiasu as what zhihong said.. I really agree.. we shld we kiasu at times and we shld also have a sense of responsibility and sense or urgency as well when it comes to this type of stuff..
Secondly, i've learned my lesson bout puntuallity.. as being part of the committee of the council, we gotta set an example by being there at the venue of the activity way before the time expected to come.. that way, we could get people's respect..
Thirdly, i learned bout this thing called play by ear.. this means tat even when we have already come out with the most perfect plan liao, we still gotta play by ear.. this means that for example during ystd, we do not have enough time for the telematches.. we have 5 games going on at that time, if we know that we do not have enough time or enough teams to play all 5 games, den just close a station or remove a game to save time instead of having one station being empty wasting time..
Lastly would be on my weaknesses.. after everyone left, i have a chat with yong jian.. i checked with him on which areas must i improve on.. he told me that my main weakness is that i too multi-task liao.. it means that i have responsibility over everything that is assigned to me but i do not put my 100% focus on the assignments.. some times i just feel that i have to let go some things and let the other committee members have the chance to do smth more.. Another weakness of mine is that whenever i'm in charge of smth, i tend to wanna show that i'm in power at times.. come to think of it, it's quite true.. i really must learn to be more humble in my attitude.. after that chat, i felt that i still have a very long road to walk.. but i'm never alone.. i have God, i have my Cell Group members, i have the committee members and i have all my friends and even yong jian who will be there supporting me and guiding me.. One thing that really struck me would be regarding the sports leader motto,
TO SERVE SO AS TO LEAD.. I really feel that i must lay down my life and time to serve everyone more in the council.. Yong jian told me that i shld really look out for everyone in the council and know more bout their abilities, strengths and weaknesses.. Watch out for them.. for example if someone is already on walking on the wrong path and i know that that is his/her weakness.. i must try my very best to look out for that person to prevent that person from going deeper into the wrong path and get that person out of that path.. That's what i call having a servanthood heart..
After this event, i feel that i shld bond more with the people in the committee and also the council.. Watch out for one another and serve them the best i can.. I realise that NO ONE CAN WORK ALONE.. So i feel that the committee shld work together with each other and know more bout each other and watching out for each other's strength and weaknesses
Although this time was our first event planning together as a committee, i have really really learned alot of things.. I will never forget bout this things that i'be learned..
That's all today.. will blog when free..
