SIP Day 41:

9.34pm

Woke up at 7.45am. Felt very tired. Slept at around 3am. Again. Stay in town after a disappointing lost at the Tangs Foosball Challenge. Both Iskandar and me made it to the finals, only to lose to a pair which we had no difficulty matching up against during warm-ups. We made it very past very tough first and second rounds. Kind of sad. Miss the chance to get a new watch. *sad*

Had a long window shopping in town. *grins* It was fatal. I saw a couple of shoes from Onisuka Tiger and another couple from Nike. "Argh!" So nice! Still thinking of them now... Shoes are my weakness. When nice shoes caught my eyes, I really must get my hands on them. I got more than 10 pairs. Quite a modest amount but I am sure in the future the number will double or triple, at least. *grins* Kind of difficult for people to give you shoes as presents. But still, my shoes size is 8 and 1/2. *grins*

Received a call from Apple@Orchard. My Ipod Nano was ready for collection! Since than, it was in operational for a day already. *grins*

Watched the first 30 minutes of the match between Germany and Sweden. Saw all the 2 goals. Cool. *grins* Had to go off to watch "She's The Man." Very funny! Nice plot. And very pretty girls. *grins*

Normal working day again. But there was a special event today. All of us went for Siti's engagment party! Cool! Food was nice and it was good to know how the other races do their tradition events. So much pretty cakes! And there is something I must confess. I dozed off in the middle of the ceremony. "Oops!" *grins*

Currently at my Ah Ma's place. Miss her so much. Got to stop her and go and chat with her. *grins* So Good Night Singapore!
Picture of the day is Hadijah and Yan Juan posing in front of Siti's bed, which was full of wonderful looking cakes and other sinful goodies! *grins*

SIP Day 40:

11.54pm

Quite a day. Today is the 40th day of my attachment! Cool. And tomorrow is pay day. "Haha!"

It was raining freaking heavily this morning! Went to work today. Was quite caught up in work for the better part of the morning. Sylvia "suan" me! She asked me for my autograph. *stick out tongue* Oh please...

My parents came to fetch me for lunch before going for my medical appointment. We went the wrong way! They thought it was at the Singapore General Hospital. *grins* Did a U-Turn. Went to Old Airport to have lunch. The wanton mee was good. And the rojak stall used a digital numbering system. Interesting! Quite tasty actually. *grins*

The moment I stepped into the check up room, I was stunned. The doctor was so young and so pretty! Oh my god. Damm. My type! "Haha!" And I am schedule to see her next week! Cool! *grins* My nose is kind of still hurting. "pain" The doctor used something to burn the blood vessels away. Now I am having a slight burn out at the left nostril. "Eee" *grins*

Went to Apple@Orchard just now. My dad bought a Ipod Video for my brother. There was no stock for the 2GB Ipod Nano. So we only paid the deposit for it. Once it is in, I will need to go down and collect it and pay up the rest of it. So happy! I am having 4 kinds of Ipods. Original Ipod - 3rd Generation, Ipod Shuffle, Ipod Nano and Ipod Video.

Tomorrow I having PF meeting at RP. After which I got to go down for the Tangs Foosball Challenge. Hope Iskandar and me win. *fingers crossed*

Good Night Singapore! People out there, please take care of your health. And those who do not know what an Ipod Nano is like, the Picture of the Day shows it! :)

SIP Day 39:

11.26pm

A BIG Apology to all my readers. I was quite lazy and tired to post anything. So I will do some recounting...

Last Sunday, I went for PF. Everything was cool. Most of the participants are engaging and on the ball. Had a lot of fun. Had quite a few moments of flashbacks. Thought of times past, when I was a participant. Miss those times...

Monday was my off day. Went to school and stayed for the whole day for the pre-election leadership workshop. There was a overwhelming attendance. The funny thing is that there are people who I expected were not there. *wonders* The things that the people brought up are fresh and what they said struck something inside me... *wonders*

Went to work on Tuesday. But it was a half day as I went to BroadcastAsia2006 for a BR screening at the Panasonic booth. It was so cool! Someone wanted to take a picture with us. Of course Shu An and me obliged. *grins* Hitch a ride in Randy's cute vintage Beetle. So cool! Met Iskandar for foosball practice at Mambo Billiards, Lucky Plaza level 6. Learn a lot new things. I think I like foosball. *grins*

Wednesday I took a MC. Went to see Dr. John as I had a bleed again. He referred me to the polyclinic to be referred to a specialist. Cheaper this way. Going for in this coming friday, which is tomorrow. Went back home and napped for a while. Went out to town with my parents. Bought a Levis 508. It was from the wagon. Cheaper. Only $65.50. And I am fat... *sad*

Today had a busy again. I think I will be very busy for the next 6 weeks. We are entering the last few stages of NDD. There are things that I got to plan and present for the PAssion Card. So on and so fro. Had another practice with Iskandar. I can dribble already. Quite slow. But I am improving. Iskandar is flying. *grins* Quite confident for Saturday. Tomorrow I will be meeting my course manager, Dr. Lim. *wonders*

I got my schedule for BR already. Got 4 days of shooting to be done. Got to arrange my off days already. For all those who still do not know, the second webisode for BR is up! Please visit www.becomingroyston.com to watch it and do join up for all the happenings in the webby.

Picture of the Day is a Looney Toons event I did at Tampines Mall. Hui Leng, Eng Meng, Jabie, Sylvia, Fabian, Yvonne are in the picture. And of course I am the one taking the photo. Take care everyone. Good Night Singapore. Tired. Going to get some winks. *grins*

June 17th, 2006.

11.59pm

Everyone! The long awaited second webisode is uploaded! No words needed! Cannot describe how I am feeling now. Kind of fun. *grins*

Let me talk about today's PF activities. Everything went better than what I had expected. The 5 of us worked fine together. There was a kind of unspoken kind of job allocation. Each of us just naturally stepped up and do the job.

I felt that all the 3 panelist/guest speakers kind of spoke what I needed to heard, needed to affirm myself. They all spoke of their experiences and I felt it was like what I would have said if I am on stage. So alike! *sad* *shakes head*

Good Night Singapore! Picture of the Day: PF people looking lost!

June 16th, 2006.

11.59pm

BR's report was 1-full page! It is crazy! "Haha!" And I get a lot of people who sent SMSes to me, "suaning" me for the sentence, "Xi Yan Xiao Shuai Ge" *argh*

Anyway... Today's PF session was a short one. Had team building games. It was fun! Hope tomorrow we are also going to have so much fun!

Went for DramaTec's annual production, Dreamscape 3.0! It was SO COOL! I love everything! Everything was SO nice! I love the set! I love the plot! I love the music! I love the concept! Most of all, I love the people!!! Everyone was simply great! *grins*

Picture of the Day is of Shahdon and me! I just realised that this is the second picture that we posed together! *grins* Good Night Singapore! I need sleep. Keep falling asleep. *sad*

June 15th, 2006.

11.19pm

All BR supporters! I was informed by Randy, BR's Executive Producer that tomorrow morning's Zao Bao has a article/write-up on BR! So excited! *grins*

First day of PF FA training. Quite cool. Everyone was interesting and it was refreshing to know what others feel. The people were not afraid to speak their mind. Very frank and objective. And there are similar faces from the previous forum! *grins* I will be looking forward to tomorrow!

Had a chat with Terence and Tommy. Had fun! *grins*

Went back for NDD meeting. Quite productive. Quite an amount of things settled. Most of the things look great! *grins*

Overall, my mood quite good. *grins* But quite tired. Had a couple of moments that my head felt numb. *sad* Yes! I will take care! Please do not worry. *grins*

Wondering what to put as the Picture of the Day. Did not take any photos today. *wonders* Let me go n have some food first. Cannot seem to think. *grins*

11.59pm

Found it! Picture of the Day is the Apple tee that Tommy gave me! It is the logo at the back of the tee. Nice right? *grins* Good Night Singapore!

SIP Day 37:

11.45pm

I cried. Watched a program on TV. Again those kind of sports team who won games after all the troubles and misfortune.

When to see the doctor today about my nose. He said there nothing wrong. Asked me to eat the medicine first. If any more bleeding problems, I will need to go for a blood test.

Do not know why these few days, there are so much work to be done! Simply unbelievable... Anyway, will be going for PF 06, starting for tomorrow.

Good Night Singapore! Picture of the Day: Nice right? Fireworks! Life is like Fireworks. Cherish while you can... Believe it or not. It is true.

SIP Day 32:

4.05pm

At work. So happy and excited today! Please check out The Straits Times's LIFE! BR is on the frontpage and page 2! Although it is a small article, but it has already went beyond what I thought possible. When I was called to go for the audition, I thought it will be like a small budget short film. But now it had gone that! From the orginal idea until what we have now. During the production period, I had thoughts of this film going bigger but they were just thoughts. From the start, I believe the whole production was base on the passion for doing what each of us love. I went in with the idea of not receive a single cent, and I still do not. *grins* I am serious. Because I love what I am doing. So my friends, I will be very grateful if you all support this production. *grins*

Recently, in the mist of all these excitment, there are quite a few people who asked me the same question, "Will you be running for students' leader elections?" As always, my answer still is, "I do not know." Everyone said even if I said I do not know now, I will definitely run. I think I can list out my reasons for why I am still hesitating, at least for people who read my blog. I remember an entry which I wrote that, once someone become concern about defines as a good blog entry or bad blog entry, their life is not true anymore.

For the past year in SU, I focused a lot on my TP life and happenings and chose to let go some chances. Now I have much more chances. My YEC complains that I am under-performing. I ached to go back to NCC. I missed a lot of chance to work, which Ah Boi scolded me a lot of times for it. My friends, even those in TP, complained that I always not there for them. And some do not even look for me as often anymore. And do you know how long has it been since the last time I saw my Ah Ma? Quite sad about it. Ah Boi told me that, for the past year, he had seen that almost I choose this path, but I am not happy. It is true... But once again, it is my passion and love for TP. For this coming term, the cause for my hesitation are all that are listed above. And more. For YEC, my chairman said if I perform to what he expected of me, he will nominate me for trips with I want to go. Trips such as, NYAA EArthWatch, NYAA Exchanges, NIPPON MARU etc. *grins* And he is a guy with the means to do so. For NCC, I have not been active for almost a year. My CM does not encourage it. He rejected all my LOA applications for NCC. I know he is looking after my studies. I am grateful of it. But because of this, I missed quite a few overseas trips, to places like New Zealand, India, USA, Taiwan, Burnei, Australia etc. I did not even bother to apply to go for some of the places. The outcome was obvious. Now as I am only having one subject next semester and the trips are coming up again, from this year end to the mid of the coming year. My DC ask my just apply. So I am assuming he will recommend me. A lot of other newer batch CLTs had went already. Kyle also wants me to follow him to China this coming semester. People are offering my jobs now. But alas, I am still schooling and I still need to go for National Service. Ah Boi is facing similar situation. Both of us are facing opportunities but... we just cannot make ourself let go. *silly laugh*

So... Basically, it is about performing in other areas, getting up to others expectation of me, going for profiling trips which will be great additions to my CV and portfolio and having more time for family and friends... or... spend my time and energy for SU, either for better or for worse. For many, I believe it will be a very clear decision. But sorry. I am a weird fellow. *grins*

These few days while we talk, Ah Boi and I both agree that the choice of continuing in our way of life, course of work, plans, lies in when we are in NS. Like it or not, everything will be starting afresh. All your current friends, current contacts, everything, will be wipe clean... True?

11.59pm

Had my second nose bleed of the month. Already. Not even passed the mid-month period. Damm. Think I am die-ing. *grins*

Went to support Shaddon at Esplande for his new musical, The New Wave: City of the Gods. Other musical which was Vanity, Victorious, Virtue, Vanquished. Let me tell you! I am damm impressed. Everyone was damm good! Singapore Idol is nothing man. Compared to every single one of the performers, Chinese have a saying, "Smell no smoke". *grins* I am a fan of Shaddon. Since the day I had known him, he never ceased to amaze me. From today's performance, I can see that he had improve tremendously. Congrats!

After the play, as we are walking home, I realised I had my camera with me. Took it out and play around with the settings, and snapped! *grins* Took a few pictures. And I like some of them! Really cool!

Going work at Funan tomorrow for Christina. Afterwards, going to help out to hype the crowd. Hope I can do it! *grins*

By the way, to all, I am currently writing my 21st birthday's wish list. It is not going to look pretty. *grins* But if anyone can buy the items on it, I will consider some kind of repayment! *fingers crossed*

And BR is featured on today's LIFE!. Frontpage and page 2. Although it is small, but I like it!

Picture of the Day: One of the picture I took while I was random snapping! Hope you all like it. Please give some comments! Good Night Singapore!

There was a BR screening at the Substation today! 2 of Nic's and Randy's works was up. "I'll LIVE A DAY FOR YOU" and of course, "BECOMING ROYSTON". You all can visit www.originasian.com to view the 2 productions. Today's Substation's screening had seen 3 other films by other directors. I was late so I could not make any comments. *grins* But after the screening, from what the audiences commented, it seems that most of them are very interested in wanting to know what happens next. And I know it is definitely not going to disappoint them!

Went to chill with Ah Boi. Talked a lot. He did not study much. But we had fun and caught up on each other news. Interesting... *grins* Anyway Good Night Singapore! Going to get my 4 hours of sleep now. Working the morning shift later. Half day. But going for a interview. *grins* By the way, Congrats to all the people who are having their graduation these few days! *grins* Picture of the Day: Close of me in BR. Ugly right? :(

These couple of days were very full of work for me. Everyone in the office needs help. I had been helping out where ever I could. *busy*

Today I went back to school. Went back for a Poly Forum briefing. Yes! I am in, as a facilitator! Which means I will need to work more, as I will be asking for more leave from work. *sad*

Had YEC meeting today. I had been told by so many people that I am under performing. "Ok everyone! I will work hard for YEC now! Yes! I will!" Some of us were talking and have drinks after the meeting. Talked about NYAA. Yes. I will need to complete my NYAA Gold too. I am going to work hard from now on. Can someone do it with me? If not I will be lonely... *grins*

And I am going HQ NCC tomorrow! I miss NCC! I am going to look-see at the Spec Course! Hopefully I can help out too! So going to get some sleep now. Good Night Singapore!
