I'm Back!

Wow! I had so much fun! Peiling should have joined Jack Neo's J-Team. She could be the queen of humour in Singapore with her super comedic performance in the skit. Ren Cheng's turn as Michelle the sister with the split personality was hilarious as well, not due to the acting but more because of the overall appearance and unintended wardrobe malfunction. Haha! What a night, and how close we were from a prize - only 8 points away from 3rd place...

Food wasn't always up to expectation. While it was satisfactory or better on most occasions, lunch never fail to disappoint. Thankfully, there's always fresh, juicy fruits (watermelon, pineapple, honeydew) and cakes to fall back on. Lunch on Day 2 was the worse; the baffling thing was how they served crispy fried chicken wings for afternoon tea break. I thought if they had served that earlier, I would have eaten more at lunch...

Gillain is such an amazing lady. She must be incredibly motivated to be able to maintain such high standards for so many years. Compared to her performance, my targets seemed like a joke. Still, as Sherlyn says, I'm just putting unnecessary pressure on myself with such unrealistic comparisons. Afterall, she's very experienced and I've just started not long ago. I guess everyone's got his own race to run, and we should concentrate on completing it. When others run a better race than us, we should congratulate them and carry on our own race. We should not be discouraged by our relative lack of achievement and give up. Everyone has different abilities and what is most important is that we put in full effort in achieving our own goals. I wonder if I can reach my goal?

Ren Cheng surprised me when he mentioned about his family problems. It seems like many of the people in the organisation came from broken families. I feel so fortunate to still have my parents around. It's a blessing.
