♥ Sunday, March 28, 2010 ♥
today breakfast was not good, and lesser people as only half of the group are going to climb the mountain. The rest who are not climbing can stay in room to sleep longer.
Initially I don’t feel like climbing up also, but I love taking new experience and having challenge. Thus, I chose to climb the mountain. Anyway, it’s a waste if we came all the way here, and didn’t get to climb and see the scenery or take the experience yea?
Wu dang shan is a 4.3km long, and it’s a very tall mountain whereby when you reach the top, you are above the cloud and the scenery are very beautiful.
there’s water and mountain.
there’s water and mountain.
Let’s start on the event:
My clique has 9 people, and 8 of us climb up wu dang shan.
I climb to the top first, and didn’t wait for the rest.
I waited for the rest at ‘金顶’, which is the top of the mountain and slowly I see most of them coming up.
it’s 11am already, we should leave so that we can reach the ground by 1.30pm.
I try to call my clique of people to leave, but nobody wants to bother me.
so I waited for awhile and went off with lingli, wenjie and ron.
and again, I walked quickly down, and is the first one to reach the entrance of the mountain.
however, I thought I am the first one to come, so I have a lot of time.
I went to buy the name chain for my relative as a souvenir as it’s easier to give as a gift.
after that, more and more people came down, and lingli they all also came down.
at that point of time, I suddenly felt very sick.
I got no mood to buy the name chain anymore.
I went to the nearest toilet to diarrhea and then went back to find lingli they all.
I choose a few, and then wait for the uncle to do it.
And my body is torturing me; feel like dying at that point of time as I don’t know what’s wrong with my body.
I quickly buy an egg to make myself feel better, but it doesn’t cure.
After mei xiu left us, I started to vomit in front of the stall.
ron quickly bought water for me, and they let me rest for a while.
We know is running late already, so I try my best to walk up a bit more of the mountain.
While walking the mountain, my right leg knee cap cramp until I couldn’t walk another step.
We don’t know what to do, so we intend to ask the guys to carry me back to the hotel.
But I feel so bad, so I try to walk up myself, holding lingli and the handle.
After my right leg recover, my left leg knee cap cramp.
I felt so embarrass as people see me as paralyzed.
But I don’t have a choice, as I need to rush back to gather with everyone.
I just pull myself to walk with pain.
we reached the hotel quite fast, and we ran to take bus back to the starting point of wu dang shan.

we reached the hotel quite fast, and we ran to take bus back to the starting point of wu dang shan.
We were very late, because we are supposed to gather at 1.30pm, but we reached at 2.30pm.
I am so sorry, but we didn’t want this to happen.
I know everyone is hungry, and we are too.
but we really don’t want this to happen.
my sickness came after I am reaching the front of mountain, so I didn’t want it to happen as well.
I really feel so sorry for everyone waiting for so long, with an empty stomach.

Firstly, I am very sorry for delaying everyone in the bus.
I didn’t know it’s such a serious matter after Miss Neo alerts us.
I suddenly realize that we should really change ourselves and go for the better.

I would like to apologize to Miss Neo.
Miss Neo is leading MDE student, whatever things that we do, Miss Neo got to cover for us.
Miss Neo really teaches us a lot during this trip.
she is a teacher who do things smartly, for example, after we are late, she didn’t scold us immediately.
she let us rest first, the next day, then she talked to us nicely and reflect on our actions.
while miss neo talks to us about what we have create for others,
I really felt so guilty and sorry.
I had never done things that let people think badly of our school.

Reflection on late incident:
Yes, we were listening when the tour guide announce the meeting time. We even know the changes made. Initially, we are supposed to meet at 1pm, but after that the tour guide change to 1.30pm. I didn’t confirm with the tour guide as I am very sure of the meeting time.
Feelings (me):
I felt so guilty that everyone waited for us.
I know we are in the wrong, and I felt so sorry for delaying.
we didn’t make a phone call even if we are sick and will be late.
if we have done that, the tour guide might have arrange with the bus driver and restaurant, and letting the rest to grab a bite to fill their stomach.

Feelings (others):
I know that they are very pissed off as they are so hungry, and didn’t grab anything to eat and they still need to wait for so long before having their lunch.
The driver also very angry as he need to drive us back, and by the time we reached our school, will be 9pm, and it’s so late. Tomorrow the driver still needs to wake up early to fetch other people.
we are delaying other people resting time.
WUST staffs were also angry as the next day they need to wake up early to work, and with us being late, it will delay their sleep time and they couldn’t eat lunch and dinner on time.

I know everybody in the bus waiting feel very angry and pissed off as they are hungry and the delay is a waste of their time.
Perspective of us being late:WUST staff: think that NP students do not have sense of urgency and punctuality.
giving them a bad impression on NP students.
giving them a bad impression on NP students.
Tour guide: think that Singaporean students do not have sense of urgency.
ECE students: thinking that MDE students are a disgrace to NP.
Consequences of being late:
Wasting everybody time waiting and making others cannot get the lunch and dinner on time.
Letting others(WUST staff) having a bad impression of NP students are not punctual.
Bus driver, WUST staff and tour guide have work next day, we are delaying their time, or else they can go home earlier to rest to prepare for their work next day.

Affect the 5th or future OIP batch students:
We will affect the next and future batch of OIP students who are coming.
the WUST staff might not feel like going to wudang mountain or any excursion as they feel that NP students do not have sense of urgency and time management.
they might not like NP students to come as we are lack of character.
We came here, is to portray NP and be an ambassador of NP.
We are the best people in MDE, that’s why we have a chance to come.
so if the best people are us, we should let them see how good NP is.
In order not to affect the next batch student, my clique will turn over a new leaf.

Late and all of the people left:
It will be very difficult for us to go back to wuhan as it’s a 5 hours journey.
we can’t possibly take cab, so we might need to hire another coach, and it’s a waste of money and time.

The first thing we will do is to call Miss Neo, and wait for instruction.
but normally we will do a head count before we leave the venue.

If I am given a second chance, I would …
If I am given a second chance, I will climb down the mountain at 10.30am, give myself about 3 hours to make my way down instead of waiting until all my clique is up to the mountain then I rush them to leave the mountain.
Then, I make my way down very quickly, if I want to buy something, take a look at the time first, before I do it. If still early, then I can do, if not, just leave the mountain.
When walking, walk briskly, and don’t waste time look around and taking pictures unnecessarily.
Reach the destination half an hour before the given time so that if there’s any delay for myself, for example suddenly diarrhea, I could have time to reach punctually.

Conclusion and learning points:
In conclusion, I felt very guilty as I did not set a role model and I disgrace MDE.
this is the first time for me to disgrace my own school.
so from today onwards, I will change to be a better leader, set myself as a role model, and take the initiative to lead my small clique.

My clique is the biggest among this trip. 9 people.
So I will split my clique into 2 groups as smaller group move faster.
Then, for every destination we will make ourselves reach 15 minutes before expected time.
From point to point, we will walk briskly and quickly.
For photo shots, if can, then we take, if cannot, then forget it.
For buying things, we will buy quickly, if not enough time, don’t buy it.

To sum up, after this mistake that I have made, I will change to speed up myself and not delay the group. This is a point that I should learn while I come for this trip. Overcome challenge, learn through mistakes and take steps to be a better person.
