Sorry, my computer doesn't have Chinese software installed, so I'll post in English.

Yeah the first CIP was at Boat Quay, it was generally the better CIP with 24 people going. Main problems were punctuality, and as it was my first attempt at leading, I count it rather successful. Around 10,000 people turned up for the event, presented by Ilotopie of France. The show was rather refreshing and spectacular (pyrotechnics), with us as volunteers having to give out flyers and NEwater to the audience. It was generally a pleasant evening at the CBD, almost seemed like work then. Rather pleased to see that our members stuck to their task, and had the vigour to complete the job. We were also praised by the liaison officer, labelling us 'enthusiastic and hardworking'. Tireless workers we are, and I think that's one of our youthful advantages. We do need to have more initiative and discipline, and congregate for instructions rather than scatter or wander sometimes.

Second CIP was at Bedok Reservoir, performed by The Lunatics of Holland. About Man's desire to know more about Water. Whether it's a friend or foe, and its connection with fire. The abstract production may not have been understood by the general public, but it was still enriching nonetheless. Punctuality was improved, and I could see our members staying on task and being committed to their work at hand. I think if we keep this up and further improve, we really can do it for the big event 9 months from now. Seeing the PRCs and local students conversing together, sharing a laugh. No previous awkward incidents, or members being ostracised. Sec1s were also joining in the banter, with everyone co-operating with smiles on their faces. Felt a sense of pride when seeing them accept each other, and all levels, regardless of nationality work cohesively as a unit. As CDS.

Yeah, this sounds cliche and I'm sure some will roll their eyes at this post, but I'm stating what I felt then. In these CIPs we get to work with each other, almost like a CCA outing. Having a taste of meeting all sorts of people (handling the public) and most importantly learning responsibility. Responsibly arriving on time, doing allocated work. Hope the CIPs have given a broader scope to those who participated, and hope that we will exhibit the same teamwork and sense of belonging as before.
