New experiences
I managed to gain new experiences again! This time, as a trainer for a camp. The very first camp I got to facilitate was a girls' school. Thankfully, their zest was simply amazing. Big group of enthu girls with great stamina I must say.

At the camp, many things happened which I shall not list, cause is really quite a lot. Overall, I learnt how to be a better leader, which I emphasize, A GOOD SERVANT LEADER. I saw the stark contrast between servant leaders and master leaders at the camp. Really interesting and memorable. It was like, a 'live' lesson learnt.

The girls were adorable. Typical girls' school- when they reached, saw the male trainers, saw some hot guys, and they got excited amongst themselves. Cute right? Managed to start some conversations about the guy trainers to build rapport with them. They really played hard when it comes to games! I am so impressed by their super high level of participation.

And, they said that I'm a nice trainer!! Woots! I feel so touched when they told me that! They even told me that they'll miss me cause I'm so nice. I'm really glad that they enjoyed themselves and liked me despite me being an inexperienced trainer and also the many held ups in the camp. On top of their class name and class cheer, they even had prepared a performance for their Talent Time (campfire night). It was a dance and they showed me! Really awesome ^^

Well, I think that's about it for the camp.

Results were released today also. And guess what? My prayers came true. OMG! I can't believe this. Really thank Lord for that. All my grades were much better than I expected. I am really grateful for the good grades, despite I guess it will only be average when compared to the other CMM people. The best part of the grades - I AM FREE FROM SUPPS! Hurray!

As much as I am contented about my grades, I feel guilty about my Calculus. Honestly speaking, the main reason I took Calculus as my CDS, is cause I see this as my last chance to score at least an A for it so as to make my dad happy. I already disappointed him once during the 'O's. I wanted to make it up so badly.

However, never did I expect, history repeated itself. I flung the last paper of the module. It is always the last paper that I screwed up and worst still, the last paper is always the most important paper! During the 'O's was like that, the same applied for my Calculus. Well, I did pass my calculus (miraculously) but it was a B (still below my dad's expectations)

It has been so many years that my dad has been training me to score in my Maths. He always hoped that I will do well in Maths just like him. And, me, once and once again, never gotten an A. Why does Maths hate me so much? I just need an A. I don't care even if is a low A!!! But I have never scored an A in Maths. NEVER! Why is it so hard? Maybe I do get occasional small As in class tests, but I only prayed for an A as the overall grade on my report to make my dad happy and proud of me that he succeeded in coaching his daughter into scoring As for my Maths! But it never came true..Never will it come true again :(
