Hi Everybody

This is the long awaited post that I want to share with you folks =)

4 Topics in total

Mindchamps Graduates | Challenge Camp | Find Your Why & Fly | Shopping…Shopping at GoDaddy (“,)

First off, with regards to the topic on Mindchamps Graduates, my class just graduated ! =)

SG 624 You Kids Rockz!

SG 624 is the class code by the way.

Some of you may know that I have been a trainer aide with Mindchamps since January 2006 and have been sharing many great stuffs.

The people, the training and even the students =)

This is the 5th or 6th class that I get to witness the children grow and learn many powerful techniques delivered at their level.

These classes that i took are called the Sparks of Genius, and it refers to the Primary 1-2 level.

It has been a great exposure interacting with these children, some are as sweet as candies are some are simply playful. And it is good learnings from the trainers to handle these kids =)

And its true that you interact with kids and adults differently.

Coming to the people aspect, simple WOW!

Everybody building Mindchamps, from the receptionist to the principal, Mr David Chiem.

They are awesome!

It’s like a one big family and the energy is really really high!

 The trainers that I interact with, namely Stella, Amy, Siew Cheng, Adelene and more…

They are a group of dedicated trainers and yet humble.

My hats off and due respect to all of them =) Cheers!

Next up…The Challenge Camp!

This camp is organised for the student councillors of my alma mater by the alumni and the current senior councillors.

This is a serious camp where the tone is kept strict and the objective is to put all the secondary 2 student councillors to the ultimate test of their physical abilities and the mental capabilities.

And what the secondary 2 councillors may not realise, it was an even greated test for the organizers!

It was a learning experience for everyone involved in the camp and that is the reason why I always return.

It was a challenge for the few graduates in my batch because I was having my attachment during which this camp was conducted, my batch mate Amritpal has to “book out”, he is in the army doing his national service and those who are in polytechnic having classes!

I went straight to camp after attachment at 4pm and leave only after the last activity of the day and debrief session with the senior councillors. And that was like 4-5AM for 2 consecutive days. I got to report to the hospital by 8AM.

Despite all these “hardships” aka challenges that we have to brave, I learned about FOCUS.

Even I get less then 6 hours of sleep for 2 nights, I gave my 110% when I interact with my patients.

Some of my friends always refer to attachment as having to report for WORK.

For me, I used to think that attachment = work too until recently i thought through and changed

attachment = SAVING AND CHANGING LIVES

And this is really powerful, because I feel great and afreshed whenever I wake up and I have to go to the hospital.

SAVING AND CHANGING LIVES =)

With that, check out the photos that we tool during the challenge camp =)

Yes! That’s me conducting an activity called the Trust Run.

The Interview; Mental Test –> Conducted at 2-3AM

A group going through thick and thin…Eating food that you will not get anywhere.

Before you drift off thinking that we feed that coackroaches and stuff….NO!! WE ARE HUMAN TOO =)

This is not Fear Factor or whatever, those are food that they cook themselves.

By the way if you are inquisitive, Singaporean kids do not usually cook.

And I got to be a taster for a exclusive Chicken Dish. It is really really salty =|

My dear councillors if you are reading this, this is really memorable =) Cheer up! It’s okay!

We the organisers get a treat from the teacher in-charge Mr Soh =)

Pizzas, pepsi and chicken wings from Canadian Pizza!

The final debrief at 1.45AM

Finally, SHOPPING =)

Shopping at GoDaddy!

And if you have read before….I do not usually shopped at malls etc…

I shopped at GoDaddy….For domain names!

I like to share 1 domain name and that is SingaporeWelcomeYou.com =)

This has been at the back of my mind for some time and I finally took action!

Most of the people who know me personally knows that I am a “patriot”.

Haha..Not that I served the army or whatever…

Just that I love Singapore, and I am proud to be a Singaporean.

I like the red and white on the flag =)

And I used to wear Singapore printed tees from Hang Ten etc.

Anyway I can only put them on again next July, it is the tradition that one can’t wear bright coloured clothings especially read when somebody related pass on. In my case, my dad.

Coming back, the reason why I decided to work on this project that I call the SingaporeWelcomeYou Project,

In a way I like to invite people to visit Singapore, and I like to also write a book on places where you ought to go to experience Singapore.

Get what I mean?

I like to fully engage the tourist who visit Singapore.

Yes the tourist attractions and I like you to experience more then that!

There is more to Singapore then Sentosa and Chicken Rice!

Yeah! So that’s my vision for SingaporeWelcomeYou.com =)

Oh and by the way, if you are a Singaporean or you have visited Singapore before, I invite you to contribute your thoughts.

For Singaporeans:

Where should tourist visit in Singapore?

What they should eat?

Where to get cheap and good stuffs?

These are just some teasers, send me your thoughts or drop me an email at jy@chiajiayu.com

For Tourist:

Firstly, Thank You! Thank you for visiting Singapore =)

Share with me the experiences you had during your stay in Singapore =)

I will be at jy@chiajiayu.com and I look forward to hearing from you =)
