55th Induction Cohort (3 November to 16 November 2009)

There has never been a time where I was away from home for more than 3 nights. I thought I wouldnt be able to survive through the first part of 4 days-3 nights induction camp at NACLI. What made things worst was that before the first day of reporting for the induction, I was still at the office, at 1am, clearing my work. That really made me reluctant to go for the induction.

With just 4 hours of sleep, I headed for the close to 1.5 hr train + bus journey to our 'chalet'- our '2nd' home for these 2 weeks. It was pretty lucky that I have Winnie, Chiao Min and Ivy, whom we met during a training course, as my cohort mates. Otherwise, I would definitely feel at a loss.

During this first week, there were plenty of team building games and that really brought all of us closer. Everyone were very encouraging and forgiving. It is also fortunate that I am in the team learning committee where my I/C and cohort mates are so fun. In our group, every night was like a gossip night. Ha.

During the 2nd week, I was sorta looking forward to going back to the camp. Of course, I do miss my family, bed, pillows, and home toilet during my stay at NACLI, but there wasnt any negative emotions. Perhaps the only complaint was that I need to travel tat 1.5 hrs journey again.

As I was having dinner at Subway with LH and Eric on friday night, we talked abt whether we would still be as close with each other after 6 mths, or whether we would still remember each other's names in future...My belief is that I still would. Perhaps not all of them, but definitely those who made a difference to my life ;)

Will miss the moments with you guys...
