Day 23 - Outward Bound Day
We got to wake up early around 8am for our Outward Bound activities( High Element). Everyone was quite excited about the activities which we will be doing as it involves high elements, we started to discuss whether will it be safe to use the equipments over there.
Starting we need to line up into 4 rows and help each other to massage the shoulder. I have to say that ShunQing is really very good in that and Eshlyn have to work hard on that area.
Next we will get into groups. We need to create name for our tribe,flag, costume and last by not least a short skit to represent our tribe. We have a lot of fun design the flag, thinking of the tribe name, designing clothes for us and most importantly my tride leader! Xanier cause she is dragon boater so we call ourselves Dragon!( 龙)
Next is rock climbing! They have 2 paths to climb, our division choose the harder path and went over the easier one. There are people almost reaching the top but all do not make it.
I feel that trust fall is really testing our faith and are we able work with one and other. I have a shot at it and I thought that my group mates are unable to catch me but they did which makes me feel more comfortable.
The last activity is broken bridge, we have to jump over a gap, when you view the gap from the bottom, it seems small and short but when you are up there it is totally a different feeling.
Reflection
I tell myself, no matter how scary or high is the things, I will want to try it as it is one time based experience, I do not get to try it every day so since I am China with my friends. I should give it a shot, after pushing myself to the limit, I felt very good of myself and more confident to overcome things in my daily life. After Eshlyn’s accident, I told myself that I have to catch the next one with all my strength as she almost fall on her head lucky there and people that catch her. Somehow it was my fault, as I arrange the order, I thought that she is very light and place mostly girls as the catchers so make her so frighten. I told her sorry and confess to her as I think she should know the truth but I promise her that I will not let her fall again and I hope that I am able to keep that promise and promise are not meant to be broken, they are meant to be keep. Finally felt better after say this accident out.
