Batu Caves Once again...
yay! finally back in s'pore after spending one week at KL..quite cool.. cos we get to climb at natural rocks for 3 days and got to live in a service apartment which is very comfy.. got bath tub, air con.. 2 tv.. nice toilet.. very nice accomodaton... haha..
hmm.. shall give a brief description on what we did there ba..supposed to climb at batu caves for 4 days de.. then ended up only 3.. on monday, the night before had a storm.. ended up on monday morning.. damai's walls were totally wet.. cant climb them.. ended up we proceeded to camp 5, a climbing centre in KL.. very huge place.. cool routes and cool boulder walls..overall at natural rocks.. din manage to redpoint any of my projects though... but i felt that my mental strength and confidence have definitely improved after managing to finish the last move for 'Because I got high'.. that was very inspiring and confidence boosting..which was something much more valuable than redpointing any route.. as for at camp 5.. only managed to flash 1 6a+ route.. got 2 6a+ route and 6b.. almost.. a bit sad though... but nevertheless.. overall.. i felt that i did improve ba.. haha.. then there's a secret buddy thing.. and i picked weicheng... din bother to hide it as a secret.. kinda hard too..since we all live in the same room.. then Bel picked me.. he got me a handphone accessory soft toy pig.. quite interesting ba.. and i got weicheng a figurine.. haha...
last but not least.. we had an evaluation session with the teachers and coaches ba.. it's conducted in groups of 3.. my group is me, jingwen and ernest.. din realise that we all in the exco until we entered room.. my evaluation isnt that bad ba.. for climbing... main problem is that my negative thinking.. my biggest mental barrier that is preventing me from doing what i can.. anyway.. there is still much more i can do to improve my physical strength..
then as a person.. quite ok ba.. nothing surprising come out from it.. got good points like responsible, helpful, serious etc.. but accompanied by seriousness is inflexible.. like not a fun person cos i keep talking to them about equipment stuff only.. then mr lim say maybe can learn a bit from Bel when i communicate with the rest of the group.. should be easy from now on.. since he's going to be in my class next year... dunno what's going to happen la.. haha...
what was surprising from the session is the evaluation from Mr Tan.. for the first time he actually praised me.. it was quite surprising but it felt good.. cos like for the first time i felt that my efforts are recognised.. as a leader and a QM for the club... kinda needed that cos of my negative thinking trait.. he said that i'm doing a good job as a Qm.. the standard is above his expectations, which was really uplifiting for me.. seriously i din know he felt that way.. always thought i was doing a pretty bad job compared to the seniors.. then he also mentioned about me having distinct leadership qualities and being serious, giving clear and pointed instructions that the club members will listen to.. that was really what i needed to carry on ba.. maybe i just needed recognition from others.. dont really get that much often.. haha..
one more thing was that he mentioned the reason why he doesnt really joke with me a lot cos his personality is very similar with me.. negative thinking and quite serious.. then he also said that being pessimistic can be conquered.. it's up to oneself to conquer it.. he conquered it and he wants me to conquer it ba..that's about it ba... really hope i can conquer it and be a good climber..
waiting for you to come back @ 10:06 PM
