Hi Alphas! Before we really dive back into the harsh reality of Semester 2 (some of us are still in holiday mood), let's revisit how we spent our vacation break together! (:
1. SP GUSTO EXCHANGE!
 |
| Exchange with SP Gusto! |
There were so many people on the mats! It was a fruitful exchange as we all learned, stunted and had fun! :)
2. CHEER CAMP 2011!
A truly memorable training and bonding camp meant for us to "shag 死" & forge stronger bonds and team spirit. We shared laughter, hthts, fatigue, stress, sweat and even tears. But above all, we created a shared memory and experience and got to know each other better.
(Hope you guys don't mind my insertion of personal feelings and thoughts here) I've always believed that the fundamentals of a team lies in mutual trust, tolerance and understanding, as well as a shared goal that we're all motivated to work towards. Don't let misunderstandings and personal issues fester and breed as these factors will ultimately cause our Alpha pyramid to crumble and fall. Instead, we should seek for ways to filter out these bugs and squash them, so that we can continue building up a strong pyramid. I sincerely hope everyone had something to take home from the camp and more importantly, that everyone enjoyed it :)
So anyway, let's take a walk down the memory lane of the 5-day camp:
