Reflections for 2nd day of IPO

   Today was definitely much more fun than yesterday. It was so tiring to do the suck-ups yesterday, but today the PSLs made it much easier for us by probably lowering their expectations. I felt that the class bonded together more closely than yesterday and the forces seemed to be working very well with each other. Speaking about forces, we competed against our own class during station games and it was a win-win situation for both forces of the same class! Even if we lose, the points will still contribute to the class points at the end of the day, so no pressure at all! Dhiraj, the villain was especially humorous by showing his crazy antics and whatnot. Moving on to the station games, today's games were more exciting and less challenging (not like the crazy cyclops lasers), but the station games on both days had the same objectives: teamwork, respect, perseverance and other values. The station games were meant to teach us something valuable in our IPO journey such as gaining experience for teamwork. The next was mass dance. It was really fun but some of the dance moves are a little too complicated to master within a session of mass dance. Probably tomorrow will get us more used to the idea of mass dance. Building a plane was a challenging task which required a lot of good communication and teamwork, like tremendous amount of teamwork. We have to first come up with a strategy of having half the class to build the plane and the other half will have to suck-up to the Game Master, Sean, as we were given limited amount of materials. We made the plane on time but the question was whether it could fly long enough to earn us the coveted points. Looking at the planes that other teams made, we stand a pretty good chance of winning. So today's activities made us learn about the importance of respect. Even though there were 20 people with totally different ideas and mindset from one another, we have to respect their decision and put ourselves in another person's perspective and you might just realise that you were wrong after all! I believe that tomorrow will be an exciting day with a break from station games with the new introduction of the new game: Amazing race. Sounds energy consuming but I'm looking forward to play the game out of the school's boundaries
