These few days of cornflakes making have undoubtedly bond the team together much closer, especially the biology team people. We share the same joy, sense of satisfaction, fatigue and the mundane feeling of repeating the same steps over and over again. Although we ended up with muscle aches, blisters but I feel that at the end of the day, as we see our fruit of success the thousands of cornflakes, I do feel much sense of satisfaction. Not to mention the nonsense fun we shared while making them, exploring the house, it was indeed memorable.

When I was told to write a reflection, the very first thing that struck my mind was the very fact that when we were complaining, Ms Azyanti mentioned something that we joined the programme to serve to break out of our comfort zone. It just struck me speechless as I realised how little I could bear without much complains. After these sessions, as I prepare for the main trip ahead, I’ll definitely be more mindful about the purpose of going for this trip- To break free of my comfort zone, to experience life beyond.

Secondly, after we brought the 20 boxes home, I wondered how I am going to sell all of those. Perhaps this is when I realised the true meaning of friendship. That people buy your cornflakes to support you, that very fact are very valuable to me which again reminds me to cherish the friends around me.

All in all, these sessions have strengthened my faith, my determination to preserve as much as I could and not to give up that easily at the slightest difficulty. Not to mention the bonus fun all of us had while making them allowing us to know more about each other as well as Ms Azyanti herself.
