SLC retreat

Just came back home from my cca's retreat at a Changi chalet. It was meant to be a gathering for the members, and also for the YEP teams to share their experiences during the December trip.

I turned up to show 'face', and more importantly, I wanna see how the Thailand team is going to present during the sharing session.

In short, I felt like puking my breakfast and lunch when the so-called co-leader went up and did the show. And, in my humble opinion, made a fool of himself at the same time.

First, it was superduper brief because it was just touch-and-go (whereas other teams REALLY shared their experiences).

Second, it was done half-heartedly, from the way he talked. Almost like he couldnt be bothered.

If he couldnt be bothered, then why not let others, like my friend who spent over $100 to develop the photos (for her personal keepsake, may I add) and who knew the exact events that happened to present???

At the very least, it will be more engaging and truly a 'sharing session', rather than the opposite.

Oh.

Dun get me started on how he managed to get hold of the photos.

Let's just say basic courtesy to ask for permission from the rightful owner is not always important to some people.

Anyway.

The retreat was good because I get to learn about others' trips to Yuksam and Cambodia.

But seriously, apart from that, I think I've wasted my time going there.

First. I see people that I dun like/respect (read: you-know-who).

Second. I can't meet up with Gossipy to eat Thai food.

Third. Refer to the above two points.

Anyhow, if this year's YEP team to Chiangmai is going to be led by the same people, and if you're interested in going (seriously, I'm not discouraging you from participating the project because the kids will make the whole trip worthwhile, even if it's sucky), I'll pray hard that you will not go through what we went through last year.

But if you're a pretty or cute or knows how to act cute person (preferably girl), and is an easy target to be brainwashed, plus you enjoy ostracising people, sow discord, and among other traits like selfish, immature, alcoholic and clueless about effective communication and interpersonal relationships, then I dun think there is any issue for you to fret over with.

Since I dun fall into any of the above mentioned categories, I'll most probably be going on my own. =)

I hope the June trip is still on!!!

Meanwhile, I'll stay contented because I have this!

It's totally handmade by me, myself and I, and it costs me a bomb just to buy the crystals.

But the effect is totally what I want: shiny and shining rainbow!

I'm so proud of myself that I can't stand it. =)

This and six other coloured photo frames are going up on my Wall of Memories later, once I've decided which wall that would be. *hehs*

Meanwhile, I'll sleep on it first.

Good night everyone! =)
