Proud of my ENP team!

We had an awesome ENP gathering tonight to debrief, gather feedback for the next Project ENP team, reminisce of the old times, and relive the fun and laughter we once had in Chiang Mai.

Tonight, I saw how powerfully bonds can be forged and last the test of time. One of our teammates, Hui Xin, took the trouble to make a team video. It was hilarious and nicely-done, definitely something that I would want to show to others to say how proud I am of the team.

Another member, Tessa, went beyond the call of duty to create mock certificates for each and every team member describing the "awards" each received during service in the team (mine read: Best leader, Best first impression but real worst impression, Best spectacle, Awesomest Ambassador of SMU, Best corn cutter, Most hardworking tubing planner, Most deluded, Most fashionably dressed in ENP, Best (and worst) matchmaker, Dr Love). Hahas!

We went through so much together and I dare say that even after a hiatus of 4 months, our vision and passion as a team never wavered. I was even more touched when people asked to volunteer for the post-expedition project (we are organising an exhibition) despite their busy schedules. Even more asked to help out for the next ENP team as interviewers and helpers.

I'm very glad that I helped to create and facilitate this eco-system of team members supporting one another even in times of adversity, commiting to the vision, and having steadfast dedication to each other. I saw pride in each person's face of what we have accomplished and who we are as a team. And I must really thank the team for sustaining this culture and moving ahead to create new possibilities for themselves.

Now, we just have to keep our word as a team. But judging how we have worked in the past, I have every confidence that we will do just that - and even beyond our expectations.
