lessons learnt from showtime

i was a rather inexperienced leader and made quite a few mistakes during the preparation of this 1st round for showtime.
i didnt have a solid plan as to what exactly we needed to complete by certain deadlines and Mr Koh scolded me for it. i didnt plan ahead early enough and met some problems, and Mr Koh scolded me for it as well.

ive also learnt that comments and ideas given by tutors and mentors are very valuable.
i still remember the time i doubted my GEC mentor, Mr Daniel Chew, when he told our group dat we didnt need to go too much into details and could just cock some stuff for the GEC proposal but it must sound or look reasonable. the rest of my group was like saying Mr Chew was talking rubbish. on dat day, we were having problems with the savings dat could be saved by using our step-it shoes coz it was too little to make it a viable plan. i decided to listen to Mr Chew and cock some figures up. he was right... in the end, we won the 1st runner-up coz our idea was the most creative and looked rather viable (coz of the possible savings)
den a few days ago, Mr Koh suggested dat we have a matrix effect on our props for our showtime performance. i thought it was unnecessary coz it didnt really have any meaning. the other group members felt that it was stupid and unneeded. however, on the day before the actual performance, we thought of having han ern point at the levitating objects and slur his speech. in the end, we got 26.5 out of 30 points and i think it was partly due to the matrix effect.
it seems dat the comments dat tutors or mentors give may seem stupid to us, but we should always keep ourselves open to such comments because these pple are not our mentors without reason.

i also felt dat i should try to control my temper even though group members cock up coz they didnt read the details of our performace dat i spent lots of hours typing out. i evaluated what had happened and felt dat i shouldnt have blown my top since it doesnt solve anything at all but makes matters worse by making the members more frustrated.

showtime has really been a valuable experience to me...
