Silent Cries...

I would like to comment about today's presentation. Our Operation Planning Facilitator is always a very creative man. He would come out with ideas to make the presentation more fun and alluring.

We need not present any powerpoint, just majong papers. And that we only present within our groups. In this case if I'm presenting, I would be talking to 4 of my team member. *1 team has 5 member*

Those with the marker in their hand will speak. The rest listen, no interruptions, no questions and no comments. After around 30 mins.

He started another activity. I find this activity very intriguing.

Wad we have to do is, in a group of 5. The person with the marker in the hand will talk about the highs and lows in their life. After they finish, it will be pass to the next person.

The light was dim and he played the emo music. So one by one each of us say our highs and lows in our life. Me as well, I juz poured everything out. Things you wont hear me say in ordinary times. Things that dug deep into the subconsious.

My group has 4 Chinese student, I'm the only s'poreans. Therefore, we chose to speak in Chinese. When I hear their story, I'm stunned. In the past 14 weeks as their classmates, they didn't even say about their families or lives before.

I am totally IMMERSED within their thoughts. I really listened to what they have to say.
SOme of them * not mentioning names* spill their thoughts till they have tears in their eyes. These silent cries can be felt and heard through what they have to say.

After saying the highs and lows, each person have to console both person next to him *meaning left & right* of the lows he/she mentioned earlier. i was consoled as well. in tis short 15 mins, i feel i've known them for yrs bt suprisingly nt the case. amazing bt true.

In the end, I realized one thing. All we have to do is just shut up *sorry for being crude, felt tis word is more appropriate for wad i wan to express* and listen to wad others have to say.

You will hear and know more things than YOU juz blabbering around. Thinking tat you have great knowledge and keep talking and whining and saying non stop. * not pointing to anyone*

If we could juz....juz give others a chance to speak....few mins....few hrs...you would know more things or even know the person more. Please juz LISTEN. another friendly advise from andyboirepublic =)


and and i tink my facilitator gt liver problems coz when his giving an example of a low point in the life...he mentioned that when he went for check up, the doctor says his liver is in bad condition. Hope he'd be fine...
