ODYSSEY OF THE MIND 2011

Frankly speaking, I don’t know where I should start from on this particularly meaningful episode of my life. I remember Ms Lydia Teo saying this to me when I was on the verge of giving up while preparing for the competition:

“OM is a fantastic journey that brings out the worst and the best of a person”

It was really hard to keep the team together, even harder to get everyone to commit. Perhaps not everyone had put in the equal amount of hardwork into doing this but we still tried out best, very best. We did feel remorseful that we could have done the props better and stood a chance of going USA for finals. But on a second thought, I thought this is enough, getting the 3rd position already means everything to me. The late night stays at school, the tears, the sweat and the list goes on apparently , all paid off.


Nanyang Girls High School Team B, we did it.




My good bud who rushed over right after her CCA sessions.. of course many others too, the Chinese Dancers and Yilin etc etc. I will never forget this and I don't say things I don't mean. :')

Max completely freaked out after seeing my face paint -_-

The last being the best- the 2 photos below are dedicated to all the people who helped my team in a way or another, especially those of you who came down to support us on the performance day itself. Never will I forget anyone who lent a helping hand to us, even in the seemingly smallest and most insignificant way. The cheer. The applause. The hugs. That was the best 8 minutes of my life. Thank you!
