3 challenges in 2011

Since I am low in openness to experience and extraversion, I shall challenge myself to do 3 things in 2011:

1. Go for OCIP/Summer School Programme.

My sister took this photo when she went to Cambodia this year with my uncle and aunt. They brought donations to an orphanage there, which my aunt is (I think) involved in. This is the famous "kids rowing in buckets asking for donations from tourists in boats". I've seen it somewhere before, it's like when you give one then the rest would come too. It's also very risky to actually row there cuz of the currents (they are afterall just kids so many not have the energy to go against the current) and also cuz of diseases which are water-bred.

Just felt like I should at least try to step out of Singapore and gain new insights. Haha.

Summer school is of course the other alternative but since everything is CAP CAP CAP then it may not be too possible. Still, have hope! HAHA. I really wish to open myself to a new experience.

2. Take up the role of leading/organising a project.

Prolly for Meet-the-Angmohs, since it's the only thing I am involved in so far. I have no intentions of joining a CCA anymore, so I shall dedicate time to this!

3. Be open to making friends. (I don't mean increase the number of people I know. Personally think it's lame to try to know a lot of people. I mean changing the attitude towards knowing people.)

I only spoke 2 sentences in tutorial todayy. :S And it's not even to the class. It's to my group mates. LOL. First sentence was something along the lines of "I think you are referring to social class" and the second sentence was "My number is ___________" when they were exchanging numbers. I think they secretly call me the girl who doesn't speak. Much as I hate to, I shall try to open myself to these horrible strangers so that we can at least effectively communicate. I think my problem is that I judge too much, and when someone else is more outspoken, I wouldn't speak up at all. I know you still refuse to believe I am shy lah. I really am! VERY. Besides I always convince myself that I cannot be bothered to try to know people because it can get really lame. HAHA. Which I still strongly believe in.

And to show off my skills in fortune telling, I predict #2 will come true, #3 will semi-come true, and #1 will not. HAHA! Okay that makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy already, shit.
