I haven't been active on my blog. Reason being that there was too many issues I need to handle. To my visitors, I am sorry for wasting your effort. But here is one..
Recently I gotten an important role in my team. I wasn’t really expecting my current role would come to me and this gave me a big pressure. I want to do a good job.
Therefore the things I do now are hopefully to bring the club to a greater level. Firstly, the school only recognizes results. That is just like what you would expect if you enter the practical and realistic work force. Thus we changed the team to full-fledged competitive. Else, nothing we request from the school would be approved and the club would be just a stagnant place for a group of people to gather and nothing further. No new toys, no nothing.
To progress, we have to shed blood, sweat and tears. I am all in for it. I will burst my brains and muscles for it. Of course there are resistors to changes, something we can find in one of the modules I having in school with the freaky thickest notes of all. In fact, it is similar or even thicker than the phone directory that Starhub sends me annually.
Okay, I am digressing.
Apart from that, there were administrations with the school, and management issues to do. All a sudden, I am not plainly just doing canoeing anymore. Naturally there were questions about the management issues also. But nothing can pleases anyone. As some would say, “Take it or leave it”.
We had a training camp early last month to prepare for a marathon. That was when I encountered my first knee injury. Subsequently I wasn’t able to perform in running exercises. That was when I knew this injury wasn’t simple and it would not recover easily like my past injuries. I am depressed. This meant I cannot run with the team. I had to sit somewhere and watch them enjoyed the sufferings while I suffered my enjoyments. Just yesterday, a fellow teammate, with the same injury, passed me a name card of a Chinese physician. I might be visiting if my budget allows.
Next up on my schedule would be nothing else but the exams. I am still partially attached to canoeing although I know it is critical for me to ground myself to solely revisions. I think the attachment was effective because of my heavy role.
Chinese New Year is just in a few days time but seriously it seems unimportant to me. The only thing that is anticipating is probably the small bonus :)

so would your club be having a mechanistic or organic structure?
i personally think a certain degree of transparency should always be there in any organisation. let your members know some of the difficulties that your committee is facing, i've seen committees that burden themselves with all the management issues and subsequently go under.
to grow as a team, the mindsets of the members must be aligned. and understanding the concerns of the various members is a must. do not be hasty in judging others, there might be other causal explanations as to why there is a difference in viewpoints. and vice versa, let your concerns get through to them. most decisions are made during informal sessions, be it just plain chatting or ranting to others.
changing to a full-fledged competitive team is no easy task. however i'm sure you have an outstanding team who is willing to move towards that goal. all the best for your upcoming examinations & speedy recovery. cheers!!
