Farah's Reflections: 2nd Conflakes Making Session
10:16 PM The cornflakes making sessions were tiring to say the least but I’m sure every one of us understood the rationale behind it -- to raise as much funds as possible for our trip, which would then be used for subsidising/offsetting various trip costs. I found it a bit unfair that some people only had to sell 5 extra tubs of cornflakes (which does not take as much energy as making 9000 cornflakes) while the few of us slogged it out, although I understood that circumstances did not permit the even and fair distribution of tasks. But of course, someone has to do the job and through the cornflakes making sessions, to a certain extent, we learnt how to “give and take” which I feel would be essential during our trip to Yunnan. Those sessions also showed how different people work and how effective we were in completing a given task together. The right job delegation was important to ensure efficiency as different people are good at different things. Hence, I feel that tasks delegated in Yunnan should bear a certain amount of consideration to what the person is good at. Lastly, the cornflakes making sessions allowed the few of us to get to know each other on a more personal level as we spent quite a fair bit of time talking as we worked. I think we are now more comfortable with each other and have a better understanding of each other’s habits and pet peeves. Farah |
