Cornflakes making at Ms Azyanti's house
10:45 PM Cornflakes-making with the bio-ocip people was fun! Although the job, stretched for a period of 3 days, was tiring and monotonous, it made me learn many important things. Firstly, it taught us the importance of splitting the labour effectively, and to work efficiently. Due to the lesser manpower we had as compared to in Joanne’s house, it was even more crucial that we stuck to our duties closely so that we can reach the targeted amount of cornflakes in the given time period. Even so, we tried to be flexible with our duties, moving about the areas of the manufacturing process. For example, many people were stationed to fill the cups with cornflakes as it was the most tedious task. When the cornflakes were dried and accumulated, some of us then took the initiative to package the cornflakes. Of course, through this process, we got to know each other even better. Some examples: Ms Azyanti shared with us her experiences about PW, we all complained about our body aches together, and we got to know each other’s habits. Bonding is important because we will be depending on each other throughout the trip in Yunnan, and we to do so, we need to feel comfortable around each other. Lastly, as Jimmy has already mentioned, through the selling of cornflakes, we know better the friends who truly support us. For me, the readiness of some of my friends to buy from me made me realize and see clearer those who were willing to render their support in times of need. To sum this up, I feel that fundraising activities like this have played a vital role in preparing us for the trip, as it has taught us some important skills we will need for the trip. The only pity I feel is that this activity could have also involved the rest of the ocip group, so that all of us would have benefited from it. -Jingjing |
