Running Hour – 14/11/19
Today, I ran with someone called Navendra. Running with him was really fun because firstly, he was very responsive, and also eager to participate in the days run. We started off with a quick warm-up, and then we set off. His stamina was alright, and he every so often took breaks. So what I did to try to keep his heart rate high, was set a timer on the amount of time we ran, and the amount of time we would walk. This was, Navendra was able to take breaks, and catch his breath, but also get a good workout.

Running Hour 7/11/19
Today I ran 8 km from Kallang Wave Mall to Marina Barrage. I ran with a partner called Cheng Liang. I was pretty impressed with his stamina as he continuously ran with only occasional stops. He was also very responsive, and I got to enjoy a conversation with him in Chinese, which allowed me to practice my Chinese speaking as well. Overall it was a good run.
Learning Outcomes – 5 and 7
Kahaani Practice – 14/11/19
Today was our first kahaani dance practice session. In this session, I got parred up with my dance partner, and the leaders started to teach us the steps. This was a bit of a challenge for me because I am terrible at dancing, so I had to get help from some of my friends and the leaders as well. It was also good for me to step outside my comfort zone, and try something new which I have never done before.
Learning Outcomes – 1 and 2
MUN Day 3 – 3/11/19
This was the last day off our MUN conference. Today was really fun because we got into the actual debate, debating the different delegates resolutions and amendments. This helped me work on my debating and speaking skills as I asked a lot of POI’s (Point of Inquiries), and also got an amendment approved which felt really good. Overall, I think that the MUN conference was a really good experience as I got to work on a lot of different skills that I can use in the future, and also met a lot of new people.
Learning Outcomes – 4 and 6
MUN Day 2 – 2/11/19
This was the second day of the MUN conference. We first started with the role call, and then got into groups and started forming our resolutions. I was apart of a group that tried to get supranational organisations like the IMF and WTO to facilitate. Forming our resolution took us all the way until lunch. After lunch, I was called to be a witness for the ICC, in the case of a convicted terrorist named Mr Al-Hassan. This was an awesome experience because it felt like I was in a proper court room, and hearing the defence and the prosecutors both plead their case was really cool to watch. I also had to quickly think on my feet, as the prosecutors would ask me questions, and I needed to make sure nothing I said helped their case.

MUN Day 1 – 1/11/19
Today was the first day of the three-day MUNOFS conference. I arrived at the OFS campus in the afternoon, and all of us were sat down for a general assembly speech from the secretary-general. After that, we headed into a young leaders workshop. In the workshop, I learnt about online security and learnt how to be safe online. I also got to come up with solutions with different delegates for internet users that were not safe online, and methods they could employ to become safer.

Tennis Training – 13/11/19
Today was the date of tennis tryouts. Unfortunately, I played terribly today, and was very disappointed in myself. I had prepared the night before, I thought that I had played really well, but because there was so much pressure, I cracked and was not myself. I was not confident in my shots, and I kept pushing the ball. For the next try out, I just want to play like myself, and trust my shots.
Learning Outcomes – 1 and 2
MUN – 9/10/19
In today’s MUN session, we reviewed a few of the key terms in MUN and writing clauses for our ideas. We also worked on speaking in front of a crowd and keeping our clauses under a minute. I had to get out of my comfort zone to speak in front of a lot of people.
Learning Outcomes – LO2 and LO5
Running Hour – 3/09/19
Today’s running hour session was a learning experience. For the first time, I and another student were paired up along with one of the beneficiaries of running hour. His name was Chen Wei. It was quite a hard thing to control him as we had to stay on track, whereas he kept wanting to run along the wall. So I and the other student had to work together, to help him complete the course.
