TPRawks

Hi guys,

Writing this at the end of my Day 1 at TPrawks.

I was really afraid I couldn't be a good leader. I thought I was gonna fail at the start when I didn't know how to interact with my rawkers. I look around and my fellow PLs were already performing so well, they could communicate with the rawkers so smoothly. I tried, again, despite the awkwardness.

Luckily I was able to have more conversations with them. From what school they came from, what course they would be interested in, their names and etc. 

I really regret not having the chance to interact with each and every rawkers that came alone. As most of them came in groups or pairs, it was really hard for me to spot singles. When I did, I only manage to have a short conversation with him, trying to get him to communicate with the guys next to him. After which, we were told to go for a briefing. 

And we split, I didn't see him anymore since we got into Grunge Rawk 1 and 2. I was in 1 and he wasn't there. I really hope those individuals will come back on Day 2 and it'll definitely make me really happy to have their presence here! 


Yup, the time where we interacted with the rawkers most was during Xperience! Belle, Vivian, Natasha and I went around trying to memorize the 14 names and managed to memorize them all at the end of the 1 hour lesson! Ah, at that point of time, we didn't thought of getting their phone numbers. Only gave the rawkers my phone number and didn't take theirs! T.T I thought we were not allowed to use phones often so I didn't take it out... 

And I really hope I can still remember the rawkers names on Day 2 ! 



Ok guys ,

So on to Day 2 of TPRAWKS.

( Since I didn't blog that day as I got home pretty late and was too tired to turn on the computer) , I shall just get to my main point of the day.

On seeing the amount of rawkers that appeared on Day 2 was really.... the heart just melts. I thought our performance weren't there yet, for close to 80 rawkers to appear on Day 2! With some of the rawkers bringing their friends along!

Xperience 2 was funfunfun ! Leading the group we called the apes with Isabelle and I. In the cute way, we called them apes because all of them love running about! Like their enthusiasm level was 101%! And we needed a name to call their group instead of grunge 1 cos it sounded horrible. So we're like apes gather! And they all will come back ! ^^

And now I really understand why GLs actually cried during FO. I used to wonder what do they actually cry about. But now I know how much hard work they have to go thru. Despite knowing that our performance wasn't good ( or at least to myself that I have lots of room for improvement) , it was announced that grunge rawks won first for Rawkers' challenge which really made my heart have this really indescribable feeling. Like a huge blob of happiness wanting to choke out of my body, enough to make me feel like tearing. Yes, it was really, that feeling where you are trying really hard together with your rawkers, thinking that we can barely scrape through, but yet emerging first.

Felt so motivated to work even harder!



Day 3 of TPRAWKS.

Another great day. I love how I was able to interact with small groups of rawkers during Xperience. At least the bonding time and the number of rawkers per group allowed us to really get to know more about them!

My most hyped time was during AS school's activity. I started feeling better about leading although sometimes I get lost halfway. But I know I tried! I wanna improve more in leading. I'm so glad that the guys and girls were able to support me, isabelle and aaron ! :)

The day ended really great with jam and hop which really got most of the rawkers high and many of them finally got out of their comfort zone and start dancing like crazy. It was a fabulous sight.
