Amazing Race, IE Singapore is finally over.
What a stressful, tiring week it has been! Days of drawing up the final programme and instruction sheets, going down to town to shop for logistics, briefing the station masters and facilitators, and pretty much making sure we didn't miss out anything.
Well but mishaps are inevitable. Things like someone oversleeping and missing our coach :x Still, i'm surprised everything still went quite smoothly despite the very, very tight timeline.
All thanks to the hugely enthusiastic participants! They pretty much blown me away at the first mass station, where they could hardly quieten down to listen to me brief. What a bunch of rowdy ... adults. Probably all too excited to finally get out of the office and breathe the fresh beach air :) The station masters and facilitators did good too, despite the very last minute briefings. Think it must have been exhausting for them to keep up with the crazy groups running all over the place!
I'm just glad to be able to continue on with life now. Today was hectic as well, as I went to the Nanyang Audi for the URECA Poster Competition. Hardly anyone i knew there... so i just made friends from scratch :) Xiao Long, Cheun Pin and others. There were loads of amazing projects out there. Mine really pales in comparison: http://helloworldureca.appspot.com/ But i guess it was a fun and interesting experience, and my presentation even got video-graphed!
Sadly after returning back to hall at night, I fell into the Jingyi-Maran-PanShu antlion, and they swallowed me into our software project. Hmm but not much coding done, we spent an hour talking about a particular "team dynamics" issue, which was quite interesting... haha.
Talking about people who get over their head... I've seen quite a few of them. I wonder what makes them the way they are? Environment, or genes? Either way, it sure is a nasty combination. Easily offended, easily offending... life is already tough enough as it is.
Isn't it?
