It was a saturday evening when 27 student leaders and 3 teachers assembled at the Tanjong Pagar Train Station, getting ready to go for an adventurous trip in Pahang. The teachers have decided to take the train ride instead of the normal coach ride, hoping to create a different experience for the students. This is the second time i took this train to Malaysia and i am very sure to many of them, it was a different experience after all. Look at how excited they are, some of them had observations and found out new things that they do not know...do you notice anything?
Lesson No 1
Be observant, there are many things around you that you may not have noticed before. If you are observant enough, you will find out things that you may not have learnt before or things that are not found in your textbook. So have you found out anything from the pictures?
Yes, the immigration counter has malay words first instead of the usual english words. Did you realise that the sequence of our entrance to Malaysia?
There are many learning points for us during the trip to Pahang. Many will be coming up soon...

All councillors
Please take some time to have a "stock check" for yourself. We are coming to the end of the year, though another hectic period is coming up for councillors soon, i would like to have all of you doing some reflection for yourself.
Why Reflect?
We build up understanding through our experience in the world. But until we reflect – that is, until we engage in explaining not just what we do, but why we do what we do – this understanding remains just “intuitive”:something we feel in our gut and can do almost on auto-pilot.
The process of reflection helps us to develop our understanding more deeply and to make our intuitive knowledge shareable with others. It provides the opportunity to step back and take a look at what our work means to us and our communities.
We reflect on our work, so that we can recognize our own intuitive understandings, develop them further, and explore new directions.
Ask questions to understand experiences that you may have overlooked in your day-to-day work. By reflecting we can grow and develop our understanding more deeply, so that our work continues to improve the next time we roll through the design process.
Hope you guys understand why we are practising this.
Well, here are some guiding points for you to ponder :
1) our goal is to have a value based student leadership development for our students so that they can contribute to school and society, since it's value based, you can think along this.
- how have you been developed and that you display the values that the teachers have inculcate in you. Have you been a good role model of the 4 values to your peers?
-what are the opportunities given to you to train you for student leadership?
-how have you improved so far? does the reflection after the event and evaluation given by the teachers help you in the development for leadership skills?
2) what are the platforms that you get to develop and display your leadership qualities? Workshops you have attended?
3) did teacher give you constant feedback?
4) what are the trainings given to you so far ? during full board meeting? Workshops, conference, etc.
5) what are the leadership skills you have learnt so far? Eg, communication skills, decision making, organizational skills, etc. have you applied them and where have you applied them?
After reflecting, what is next? What do you intend to do with all these skills learnt? How can you apply in your life? how do you think you can be an effective leader in the school?
A unreflected life is not worth living.
Start living your life intentionally! Do you want to create a positive influence over someone? Have you live a life that has left a positive impact to your peers?

To those who are going for the trip, we will be having a briefing soon. But in case you need to go look for things during the weekend, here is a checklist for all first.
PRE TRIP PREPARATION
Clothing : Light, comfortable cotton wear, or state-of-the-art quick-drying clothes. Casual wear for most occasions during travel and during most activities. Shorts and T-shirts are good around camps, whereas long pants are highlyrecommended if you have the tendency to attract mosquitoes. Longs are essential for abseiling! Wearing them will protect you from cuts & scratches.
Footwear:As this is an overseas adventure trip, you will find yourself trekking through the jungles and into rugged terrain. Proper footwear (i.e. shoes) will protect your feet from being cut by sharp rock edges and bitten by`fire ants’. It will also give better traction and prevent you from slipping down muddy trails. DO NOT bring wellworn shoes that have no more proper gripping traction on the soles, such footwear will not be able to properlysupport you when scrambling over slippery terrain. If your shoes are brand new, do ensure that they are well`broken-in’. However, do not forget, that you will be in an outdoor environment… expect your shoes to get wet and soiled. Spare socks are essential to prevent blisters and will help to cushion your feet. A pair of slippers is good for use around the campsite and proper river sandals are useful for water activities. Throw in a smallbottle of foot or body powder if you can!Equipment: A flashlight is an essential item to pack, along with sufficient NEW batteries and some spare ones. They are a MUST BRING for any outdoor trip and overseas travel. You will need a flashlight for the caving activities and forcamping/trekking expeditions. Bring a headlamp or attach a sling to the hand torch to allow yourself `handsfree’movement during caving and climbing. Sleeping mats and bags are useful for campsites- they providecushioning & warmth for the overnight in the tents. Depending on the number of nights you will spend outdoors, these can be optional items. They are `good to have’ but not a `must have’ – they take up a lot of space in your backpack.
Medication: You must be medically fit to go overseas. If you are cleared to go & must have your daily dosage of medication,you need to bring these along. A basic personal first aid kit should include an assortment of plasters, mildantiseptic cream, cotton swabs and tissues. Insect repellent is essential to prevent bites. If asthmatic, packyour inhaler.
Toiletries: On such outdoor trips, you have to bring your own supply of toiletries... toilet paper included.
Petty Cash: Bring only what you might need to use e.g. buying of souvenir T-shirts, snacks, tipping, etc. Recommendedamount : not more than RM100.
PERSONAL ITEMS CHECKLIST International Passport (validity of 6 mths from date of travel – inside a ziploc) Student Pass and/or blue identity card if you hold a foreign passport Valid Visas where applicable (for Chinese, Indian National, etc)
Type of bag to bring: A bag with two shoulder straps or a soft gym bag for your main luggage. Maybe a smaller bag or a waist pouch to carry personal items & drinking water.Pack all your thing INSIDE your big bag, nothing should be dangling outside your bag – this adds weight and isalso a cause for you to misplace things while traveling from point to point.
No trolley bags please… you are on an OUTDOOR trip
A suitable pair of shoes (& sufficient socks), especially for jungle and cave exploration Sandals or Slippers for evening use around camp A light sweater or jacket Torch light & spare batteries (a headlamp would be handy) Rainwear like a light poncho or wind breaker Ziploc/Trash bags to “water-proof” your belongings and for your soiled clothing/shoes Soft jungle hat or base ball cap for trekking & caving activities Water bottle with a carrier or sling to keep your hands free Sufficient change of clothes: bermudas/shorts (3-4), long pants (2), T-shirts (4), underwear (as required)*Long pants (comfortable & loose) for rock cl imbing Bath towel and basic personal toiletries (powder, toothbrush/paste, toilet paper etc) Insect repellent (NOT the insect repellant patches please) Personal medication – e.g. inhaler, band-aids, medication for insect bites, rashes, etc Some cash in Ringgit – for tips (optional) to guides, souvenir or purchase of snacks Essential contact numbers*Should you be bringing cameras, handphones (to check with teachers) and other expensive electronic devices. Pleasenote that you are wholly responsible for the safe keeping of these items.
STUFF FOR ACTIVITIEs:
Caving – Torch light, spare batteries & proper footwear (there are only so many times we can stress this point) Rafting – Sun block, swim wear, t shirt & shorts. Sandals or sneakers on the feet (NO slippers!) Rock Climbing - Comfortable trekking pants, NOT jeans Camping – Sleeping Bag or Sleeping MatCAMPSITE DOS & DON’TS During all night movement, bring along your torchlight, this is a `MUST’! Dispose all your trash wisely, always make it a point to leave the campsite cleaner than when you first arrived DO NOT wander from the campsite or go exploring on your own without permission – keep away from `off-limit’areas like cliffs, deep pools, etc Footwear is to be kept OUTSIDE of the tents Mosquito coils are not to be lit inside tents or too near the tents, we do not wish to start any fires Keep toilets clean; flush the loo after a pee or poo (flush with the well water) Leave your footwear outside your tents – Zip-up when not in use , insects are attracted to light & body heat Be careful of what you hold onto & use for support whilst walking/trekking Do not blindly grab at branches; be watchful of thorns & insects on these overhanging vines & tree trunks
WATER CAUTION: p e r s o n a l r e s p o n s i b i l i t y d u r i n g r a f t i n g Always wear your Personal Floatation Devices (PFD) whenever in the river (dip/swim) & while rafting PFDs are to be secured properly and tightened correctly Footwear is essential so as to prevent cuts by stones/rocks and/or branches. No slippers!
ABSEIL SITE RULES: a l l a b s e i l g e a r MU S T b e wo r n b e f o r e mo v i n g t o s i t e A – check that all ANCHORS are secure B – check that the BUCKLES on your harness is locked & double backed C – make sure that the CARABINER is locked & checked D – ensure your DESCENDER is correctly hooked up E – last check by your friend that EVERYTHING is in order.
Always move in pairs and LISTEN TO INSTRUCTIONS!

Just want to share this website i got. Well, i am not very good with IT, i can only add this in this blog. http://www.greatquotesmovie.com
If anyone can make this look better, please do so. Hope you will be inspired in a way or another. Application is what i am looking for.
Continue to work hard for the next few papers. No point crying over spilt milk. Do not look back if you feel that you have not done well. Look forward to the next few and do not live with regrets anymore. Like what i always tell my students, in mandarin.. “不要留下任何遗憾”
God bless all of you!
