Being a LEADER

I understand Khoo's feeling..Sometimes as a leader also,I feel it's so hard to control my emotion ... At first, I thought that being a leader is easy. However, after going through few meetings with my group members especially for Constitution and Contract law, I start to realize that being a leader is a tough job. To my group members, I want to apologize here because I always show cold expression to you guys. I feel so frustrated at times dealing with so many people...

Guess it's a good training for us to lead a group. However I can't agree with my group members for PBL constitution which is to use BM during moot. This is because there are too many reference books for constitution in English and I find that lots of words are really limited in BM. If I direct translate the word from BI to BM,then it will sound so funny. I am not being bias here but for Malays(i don't mean all k), why can't take up the challenge to speak English? Moreover you know you are taking law and most of the reference books are in English, so just accept the fact and brush up your English. My English is not that good either. I still remember my group members face(the malays) when I told them that we have decided to use english for our contract PBL. Guess what? Their face suddenly turn so pale that I got shock out of sudden! Too bad I didn't snap their photo to post here. I still remember there's this Malay guy who is in the same mentee group as me shared to my mentor that he has problem in English and therefore he has no confidence to speak. However he is planning to take English class during holiday. Well,my mentor told him that in order to improve his English,he needs to speak. Don't bother whether people want to say he show off or whatsoever,the most important thing is his future. I definitely agree with this ;)

I really learn a lot of things by being a leader. Even the other day when Dr Sakina called the group leader for contract PBL to see her, lots of group leaders complain about lots of things about their group members. However,I know that most of them had tried their best-it's just that everyone is still blur about this PBL thing. Besides,the worst part of being a leader is when misunderstanding happens and there's no clarification about this matter. Then, you can see that everyone seems to be not cooperative at all and things are not done in time!!! Ohhhh!!!! That is really the worst part because not only no one manage to learn anything but when the time comes to present the work to the lecturer, everyone is silent! That is why I learn that patience play a big role in group work. Without patience and tolerance with one another, nothing can be done!

Anyway thanks to all my group members yeah... Having experienced as a group leader for 3 groups, I hope that next time someone else will take up the challenge to be a leader. It's really good if everyone gets a chance to be a leader.

Cheerio;)
