Day 5 IPO Reflection

My my it felt like it was only yesterday wasn't it? One moment we felt that it was the first day of school, the next IPO has ended and a week has past, just like that, without a trace. It is ironic, in a way, since all traces of blog entries over the last few hours has vanished too. Nevertheless, this my reflection for day 5 IPO and I hope this can in one way or another inspire you people to start writing. In all honesty though, I am extremely exhausted, even though today was nothing compared to the previous days. Thus, I shall make this as short, sweet and simple as possible.

Today's IPO is rather simple; not much special activities are planned other than the four station games and the prize presentations. It is understandable though, since everyone must be so tired by now. Thus, there is not anything much to reflect about in regards to today's events (this probably explains the silence transpiring on Facebook and on this blog).

There is much to reflect about though, on the entire IPO as a whole. As mentioned in my first entry, the diversity is immense, many have varying personality, rendering the class an extremely unique one. As the days passed though, more characteristics are revealed. For example, who could have thought that Justin had such a talent for music, specifically on the piano, or how Reuben had such feminism (or what the class refer to as 'auntiness') under his nerdy features. This singleness of our class should therefore not be taken advantage of. (Remember, we are just going to be a class for two years, and considering how a week seemed like a flash, a year would be extremely quick too). Let cherish this time together, my fellow classmates!

On a more jocular side however, is how Kevin and Shannon managed to pull off a win from the best 'friendship dance' award. In truth, I am still perplexed at why the class decided to send the pair to this category of competition, contemplating how poorly Kevin eminently done during the mass dances. Guess we ought not to conclude too quickly!

In hindsight, the senior and junior interaction was very beneficial too, where both parties are able to let their heart speak genuinely for once in this IPO program. It can also be said to be a form of feedback, where we are able to suggest ideas on how the class can be improved as a whole. Overall, today was a slightly different one from the rest of the days, not so exhausting but definitely one of the most thought-provoking session.

Hope you guys can use my entry as an inspiration to your own entry! And don't be sad people, IPO may have ended, but not our class spirit!

~Love,
