So today was a really great day, the weather was great, the breakfast was great, everything went really smoothly. We had a road trip visit to one of the awesome companies called Gripple.
It was really an eye opener as we don't get to have these industrial visits from where I come from. I really enjoyed the work area there, it was not what I would have expected as the working environment was so friendly, unlike back home. It was like a dream come true to even see such awesome work environment still existing in this constantly advancing world of ours.
I learnt so much from this trip, from being innovative, never giving up, to the process which we can follow on to bring the best out of ourselves. It was a really enjoyable moment for me as this is the first time I am out for a visit like this.
After which, we went for the laser quest, where we tag each other with laser guns and see the team score. I was in the blue team, ranked 5th out of 12 people in the team in the first round. But during the 2nd round, I fell off the slope and had my muscle at the calve tensed up till the point. I feel really embarrassed and apologetic to all my friends and teachers. I feel like such a burden.
I tried to do my best in the game. I really love the game as it has always been one of my dream to be able to serve in the National Service and protect the country. But even such a small injury put me down so much. I am extremely disappointed in myself. It could have been my inferiority complex or for whatever reason, I feel that I could have done better, I could have fought to the very end. I always imagined myself to be able to overcome pain that I feel, but I was wrong, I was not able to numb myself up like what I usually do with the stress that I feel.
I am really upset with myself right now, and really apologetic to all my friends and teachers for being such a let down. Sorry for burdening myself to the group, to be more trouble than helping to solve the problem.
Guess I'll just be writing to this point. I would write again for the next consecutive days daily, updating you all with my experience. So stay tune and I hope to see you guys in the next post.

Who has not fell? I did well for my A level, but not enough for a oversea scholarship. I felt then like a second class as most of my peers had a chance to study overseas.
ReplyDeleteIt is then how we move on in life despite setbacks and disappointment. I have learnt not to seek the applause of man but seek the approval of God.
