MY REFLECTIONS
( Yea... this is going to be about my reflections of the Teachers' Day Project.)

Being able the head the project was the most honourable thing. I would advice all leader-wanabees to be a head for at least once. only when you are the head, you'll get to oversee all the happenings, whether it is the problems or fun.

1.getting the right people.I would say that i am very fortunate because for this project, we got the right people. People who are willing to DO IT. That's wat you need.

2. Time management. We started damn early. So even if my team mates went over the deadline to hand in the pictures, it was okay.

3. Dont let the others put you down. i was fustrated when one of the classes replied to arrogantly and even added trouble to my team mates. I learnt how to sweep it off. For only you can make yourself angry. Your emotions is controlled by you. Why let others spoil your day?? =)

4. Co-ordination. During the shooting of class dedications it was a little havoc be cause i told them the day, but not the specific time. i did not realise that until vanessa took over the job to do 4c, 4d and 5b. the word 'time slots' That she used woke me up. haha cool. thanx van.

5.Budget. The gifts to every teacher was a little costly. It was my fault. I did not give a specific budget. I said cheap. To rashidah, 5 dollars a class is cheap. BUt to me, it isnt. haha so i learnt my mistake. and to rashidah and others, make sure you insist for a specific NUMBER when you do this job next time k?

6.Perservere, be strong. I regret relying on Kiats and Van to get the movie screened. i should have went up to her (you know who) and demand for my item to be showed. Why should i let myself and my team mates suffer for her mistake in time management??

7.Listen listen listen. Different members had different ideas for the project. I reminded myself over and over again to open my ears even if its not to my liking. Why? cos the world is not made up of a million MEichins. THere is only ONE me.

8. Appreciate. Whatever it is that your team mates submit to you, appreciate it.

9.Be creative. You wanna get things done, you've gotta try all sorts of ways to make them do their job. i advice you guys to talk soft than hard. becos if they listen to you when you're soft, it enhances your relationship. And if they dont, When you go hard, they'll see that its no joke, and take it more seriously...true?

10. Enjoy. Share the friut of labour together. It will not have been successful without my team mates.

THis teachers day turned out to be something very unexpected. it is something i will not be able to forget if i want to.

the garden in my heart.messed.
