I've always had something for long bus rides.
Long journey, alone, with my music, lookin out the window, as the world go by.

And thinkin, or not.

Yes, it's a stupid thing to have something for but I juz do.

So sue me. *Shrugs*

I've almost forgotten how it is like to work with Lye and the rest of the facilitators.

Amazing.

You know there are some people u know u can trust but yet afraid to open up to, becos they are so sensitive and intuitive they can read u like an open book?

These people make me feel threatened. They make me feel vulnerable.

Even thoh I know they are good people, they are extraordinary people who make me feel like I can never measure up, nor will I ever be good enuf.

It stresses me like hell.

Lye makes me feel that way. So does Ms Choong. But then again, It is also these same people who push my limits (Notice the sudden frequency in which "I" appears? Purposely edited away all the "u"s ok? self-responsibility at its best~*smirks*)

Lye worked his magic today again.

It amazes me to hear him talk about sitting positions and the choice of words and actions
It amazes me to hear about the program and the flexibility of his facilitating style

He made me realise that there truly is an art to facilitating. An art that is beyond superficial skills like cheering for example. Someone who has boundless energy and can cheer like nobody's business doesn't mean that he or she makes a good facilitator. It is the qualities in him or her that matters.

Qualities like confidence (know what's important, and not be afraid to sacrifice fun and displeasure for the bigger picture), dedication (to teaching of skills, and not, having fun), responsibility (ability to respond and think on the spot, self-responsibility and for others as well), fair acceptance (do not pass judgement. accept all for who they are, good or bad) etc. etc.

The only "superficial" skill, so-to-speak, that has to be taught, has to be knowledge in fundamental behavioral psychology. The creative thinkin and flexibility would come naturally after one has the confidence to think out of the box.

ARHHHH!!!!!I so wanna attend his 6 months facilitator training!!!

I wanna uncover more than just the tip of the iceberg!!!!

Bloody hell.

Why didn't this opportunity appear last yr when I had truckloads of time? *Sighs*

Of cos....there's also a pleasant surprise! Guess who made it to the program?

"Wah~So tanned~South African sia!Where did u go?"

"Wat South African? Stayed in hall study"

"Mahjong!No loh, Study loh~"

Yes, I was happy jus tokin to him, in a way lah, with like a dozen people sittin in between us, and with us being like 100 metres away from each other.
