Amazing Race
Melissa Guo, Team Knitted, Participant:
Due to my work schedule, I could only participate in 1 pre-o IPC, therefore Orientation day was the first time I got to meet most of the Rangels. It was a little awkward at first because I didn’t know anyone, but as the ice-breakers went on, things got better.
The Amazing Race left the deepest impression on me. I remember telling my team leader, Yanling, that I’m someone who emphasize on winning. But for the first station, we went to the wrong place – thanks to me – (sorry, Team K!), but instead of blaming me, my team worked together to figure out the correct location.
Through this incident, I saw teamwork and that was when I knew my perception had changed. I realized that sometimes playing a game (or in life), isn’t about winning or losing, itΓ’β¬β’s really about the journey. It’s about getting to know your teammates (or friends and family) little by little along the way, helping one another, enjoying the journey and working toward the same goal together.
Friendship before competition :D
It was tiring but it was so much fun! I really have to thank RBKD for giving me the chance to take part in this Orientation which allowed me to gain much more than just new friends. I learnt an important life lesson as well.

Team K (in green) seems to be blending in with the greenery behind!
Thanks for sharing, Melissa. I can relate to what you shared. I was once a person that valued the destination more than journey too. But, as you gain experience in life, you grow and it dawns upon you that journey, in most cases is what you look back proudly and fondly rather than the destination.=)
Loving all the pictures! <3
Glad you had fun! :D
