SIP Day 29:

11.59pm

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? :(

SIP Day 26:

11.59pm

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! Picture of the Day is one of my 44th batch CLT course, some of the Platoon One people attending Maz's 45th CLT Course POP! Can you see me? *grins*

SIP Day 24:

11.59pm

Was reading Life! today. I love reading the "biteintoit" column. There was a quote by writer Douglas Coupland on why he does not blog. 'You begin reclassifying your life into "that will make a good blog entry" or "that won't make a good blog entry". Suddenly your life isn't your life anymore' I agree fully with what he said. It is very true. When a particular blog becomes well known or is regularly been read by people, the blogger will be cautious of what he/she is writing or even write things on purpose. That is why I do not read blogs. Actually I am a person who gets effects by what others think of me. I will try very hard to maintain an image in front of people or change what they think of me.

Spend the whole day in the office revamping the powerpoint slides on the highlights of the CC. Finally done! Quite proud of it! It is quite nice! If the machine with runs the slides is not so low-end, I would like very much to do it up even nicer. If I can use Keynote to design it, woah! It would be better! *grins*

Anyway working morning shift tomorrow. So going to get some sleep now. Good Night Singapore! Picture of the Day is one of me with Samantha dressing up as Cinderella for CCN Day! One photo is $1! *pouts*

SIP Day 21:

2.48pm

Raining heavily. A lot of things had happened over the past few days. I am die-ing. Again. Very terribly tired and most probably sick. Today woke up at 5.30am to help out for the World Human Resource Congress. Information given very late. Finally got people to work. Have not been sleeping more then 12 hours in total for the past 3 days. This morning, I had my second nose bleed for the month. Not bad right? Luckily the month is ending, therefore the count can restart. *silly grins*sad*

This year's CCA Awards was quite smooth. There are quite a few new faces. And quite a few people got at least double awards. Congrats to all who award recipients! After looking at the impressive resume which the higher award winners, all I could do was to applaud louder. *grins* Truly impressive.

After the ceremony, our bunch of old "Ka Kees" went on a crazy drive around with no place in mind to go. Finally after much petroleum wasted, we arrived at Eve's place. Although everyone was tired and having a terrible sore throat, we had a karaoke session. "Haha!" Imagine having 5 Ah Dus around. *grins* Spend the night at Eve's. Had breakfast in the morning and went to polyclinic to see doctor with Eng Meng and Fayanne. Everyone is practically very sick.

I am finding it very difficult to control my fingers and eyes at the moment...

Went to school for CCN Day. Suppose to go for a NASA talk at NYP. But I know if I am to sit down, I will immediately fall asleep. Also supposed to go for work at the new T3. But I also knew that I will K.O. Walked around. TP is getting more happening as the years grow. Although there was not any super happening booth. *grins* Spent some time with Kyle, together with Guang. Talked. He shared some funny clips and videos with us. Cool.

Having CC events today and tomorrow. My mummy's birthday tomorrow. Hope to leave early from work.

Thank you everyone out there who express your concerns. Really touched. Thanks. Going to try and get some rest now. But in office, hoping they let me. *grins*

3.36pm

If you lack of sleep or rest, you will tend to fart a lot. Do not know if it is true. But I do fart a lot. *grins*

9.05pm

Mass sending photos from my phone to my lappy. Need to clear the memory card. Just settled down from my first passion card event. The result was not too bad. Done up couple of templates for the project. Going to do up a sort of report on it, so that I can keep a record of the happenings.

May 28th, 2006.

SIP Day 22:

12.54pm

Fell asleep on the sofa. Again. *grins* Woke up in the morning and found myself on bed. I think I changed and crawled on bed in the semi conscious state. "Haha!" Could not post last night entry. Guess I am too tired. But I think I got enough rest from the K.O. last night. *grins*

3.33pm

Feeling sleepy. Went to Mr Aziz's place for lunch. His grandchild's 1st birthday. Quite happening. People come and go as if on a roster. One group leaves when another comes. Food was nice. Everyone was funny. *grins*

May 29th, 2006.

SIP Day 23:

6.00am

Just reached home from Delong's place. Quite tired. Going to get some rest now. The MAEC event was very happening. I liked! Everything was so nice, so happening. The people can really sing. And the aunties and uncles really went up to the front and dance! *grins*

11.31pm

Did not manage to get chance to upload my past entries. Either I just pass out when I reach home or could not get internet access. *grins* By the way, Kino is having a 20% discount storewide from June 3 to June 24! So hurry! "Haha!"

YEC's SuperNova Camp is coming up soon. Hope everything goes well.

News in TP:
Lots of events are up and coming. Mount Ophir trip, Elections, Poly Forum 2006, S2006 etc. After the elections, all the fun will start then. *grins* TP is really very happening.

Anyway, watching TV now. Lost inspiration of what I wanted to write. "Haha!" Good Night Singapore! today we have a scandalous Picture of the Day. Ah Boi and Sylvia. *grins* Nice right? "Haha!"

May 23th, 2006.

SIP Day 18:

11.59pm

Minus the offs and weekends. I have been on SIP for 18 days. These past 18 days seems the longest in my life. There were a lot times in the past when I am saying this. This is just one of those times. These past 18 days had been a mixture of learning, rantings and many other things. I got to know a lot more people. Learn a lot more things. Done things that I normally give others to do. *grins* Like mailing? Like stamping envelops? "Haha!" I was quite tight about it for a while. But after a while I guess I am over it. It is kind of fun too. I guess I am getting all this because I am on SIP, I am suppose to learn. Because of my age, everyone have to go through these kind of things. Because I am getting paid. Because of a lot of stuff, I guess.

I am really sorry for not turning up for work on Sunday. Having Yan Juan to have to work alone. Should not have over worked myself.

Went to MPS yesterday, as always, it had been very interesting. I really enjoy the sessions. I get to know new things everytime. The volunteers there give people hope. Went to the dentist too. Found out I had 5 decays. *sads* Had 3 fillings. Need to go back for 2 more. Costed me a bomb. $170. "Ouch"

I had a busy day today. Went through all the lists of sponsor and "digged" through the phone directory, compiled all their contact numbers. Went for FLC meeting. FLC = Family Life Champions. Earlier today, Bernice SMSed me, asking me to help to facilitate the "dinner and dance" portion of the youth camp. *wonders* Me? I cannot do it man. For real!

Anyway, I think I know why I am not contributing for YEC. Never mind. I will talk to Kee Ping about it. No worries. Good Night Singapore! Please get some rest. do not be like me, over worked. Picture of the day is my first pose for the set of photo which Hui Leng taken for me, for the elections last year. *grins*

May 21th, 2006.

11.59m

Last night, I vomited. Felt very terrible. This is the thing about falling sleep once in a long time. Everything just come back at you. Yesterday, I asked the doctor, if it was because I was not getting enough rest. "Was 4 hours of rest enough?" Guess what? She smiled and said, "NOPE!" Ok! *grins* I got about 6 kinds of medicine. That is hell of a lot. But I am that kind that will eat my medicine. So people, do not worry.

Went to Zouk just now. Yes. I went to Zouk when I am still sick. But I had fun! Camp Comedy 2006. Organised by Fly Entertainment. Broadway Beng! He was so cool! So funny! Master of Hokkien songs! "Haha!" Thanks Elyn! For getting me the tickets. And Felicia! Hope we do not meet 3 months later!

Anyway, good night Singapore! *grins* Today's picture of the day, Shu An and me! She is my lead actress! Pretty right? Sleep tight!

May 19th, 2006.

SIP Day 16:

10.24am

Although I had afternoon shift for the past whole week, today I am taking the morning shift as I want to go back to school to take some stuff from Kyle and go and watch Production Crew conduct their training. Quite curious about this new main committee.

The night before, I had a D&D main committee appreciation dinner at Fish & Co. As usual, most of us were late. *grins* And as usual, poor Pamela waited 2 hours for everything to start. "Sorry Pamela! And to everyone else who was early than me." "Haha!" Everyone ordered their fill. We had a total of 3 sets of Fish & Chips, 2 sets of Seafood Platter for One, 2 sets of Seasonal Sambal, 1 set of Salmon with Cajun, 1 set of Swordfish Collar, 1 set of Teriyaki Salmon, 1 set of Grilled Calamari, 1 set of Fried Calamari, 2 glasses of Pink Passion, 2 mugs of Sharkie Freeze, 1 mug of Jungle Freeze and 1 mug of Chockie Junkie! And a hell lot of sauces! I counted we had more than 30 little cups of sauces! The night everyone had hell lot of food! *grins* And guess what. Everything was a whooping $244.65. I kept the receipt. I am thinking of keeping and compile everything into an album for myself to look back at the old times.

Actually I already wanted to do up a photo album of my years in TP. I am quite sure it will be a freaking thick book! *grins* I suppose I have more pictures of myself in TP than the past 10 years of uniform education. I do not think I develop out all the photos. I will need to think of a way or a theme to form up my album. "Who wants to help? It will be fun! I think... Haha!" *grins*

Last night, office had a farewell dinner for Vinson and Gregory and welcome dinner for Ming Jie and me. We had a birthday lady yesterday. Masat's! The mango cake for her was wonderful. Absolutely delicious. Hadijah have good taste. *grins* After which I went to attend Zone 4's monthly meeting. Quite interesting. You will get to know how people think, how the residents actions affect the decision-making. Or how the committee decision affect the residents. You may think the RCs are group of old, bickering aunties and uncles. That was what I thought too. But after I got involved in all this, I now know that they are the people who build your gardens, playgrounds, games courts, enforce regular maintenance, catch rowdy gangsters, eliminate pest problems, organise events for the blocks that are under their charge. They are volunteers, but they need to do a lot of work. Finance statements? Minutes of meetings? *grins*

"Argh" I could not go to Wala Wala. BR's whole team was there. But my meeting ended so late. And it was so far. "Sorry guys! Next time kopi together ba!" Randy and Terence will be going Japan. Today actually. "Bon Voyage guys! Take Care! Have fun!" BR's team is so cool! *grins*

The minute I come into office, Mdm Pang asked me "Kai Xin ma?" *grins* She said because I look moody. Not waked up yet. *grins* Small wonder. I slept at 2 plus. *grins* Mdm Pang made coffee for me and offered me food. Bread and biscuts. "Haha!" Now I understand how come the office termed her as a motherly figure. "Thanks Mdm Pang!" I got a few things to do but I do not think I need the whole day to do. *grins* My brother will be coming to date me for lunch. "Hehe!"

11.59pm

Did some paperwork and admin work. Went to Production Crew workshop today. Not too bad. All the new faces expressed their interest. It is very encouraging to see the next generation coming up. *grins* Had a talk with Sylvia. A long talk. *grins* Quite cool. They are going Bangkok tomorrow. Sylvia, Eve, Fayanne, Cynthia and Eng Meng. A thorn among the roses. "Haha!" Both Sylvia and Eng Meng are sick! Please take care of yourselves. And again Bon Voyage! Have fun! Enjoy! This is the second time I am wishing people a good journey, in this entry alone.

I am getting an addition hard disc drive, I am nearly out! And I will be broke. *grins* Thanks Samantha!

I am totally booked for the next 2 weeks. "Aww" I am going to Poly Forum Review. At Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Going to meet all the old friends! *happy*grins*

I forgot what I am going to blog. So... Good Night Singapore! "Haha!" Picture of the Day: Nicholas Chee. My BR Production's Director! He really look like one right? *grins*

May 16th, 2006.

SIP Day 14:

12.54pm

Late for work today. Anyway I will work my full shift today. Feeling quite sad today. First thing that catch my eye after my brother woke me up was the letter on my laptop. It was the CCA Awards notification letter. I got a ill omen since yesterday night, when Wei Qi SMS me, asking if I am going to take leave off SIP to attend it. I only got the CCA Merit Award (Leadership). Wondering who got the Student Leader of the Year. Being born in the Year of the Tiger, it had also been a very competitive environment. In the form of non-acdemic performances, such as CCAs, there are always very good candidates. This year, it is very obvious that all the awards are closely contended. So I guess I could have done more. I just did not do enough. What a way to end my CCA career in TP. I got a CCA Merit Award (Arts) and Production Crew got the Arts Group of the Year, with me as the Vice-President. To me, it is a sign of me under performing, a sort of demotion. Listening to "emo" music again. Since the new school term had started, everyone had been asking me to run for election for Union again. *bitter laugh* How ironic. Why me? Since everyone says I am the ideal choice, but why? I am suppose to graduate. *bitter laugh* My heart ask me to go for it, but my head tells me not too. When I stepped into Union, I had a dream. Now my term is ending without the dream being fulfilled. I want to bring Union up there. That is what my heart is telling me to go and do. But my brain tells me, to get out to it. I am like a past tense, a guy who is already not there. Wendy, Ivan, Randy, Nicholas and many other people had told me that I will need to get out of there someday. I guess this maybe that day. *bitter smile* There are a few songs I am listening to now. "Cry" by James Blunt. "一生最爱的人" by 伍佰 . "海濶天空" by Beyond. "手放开" by Lee Sheng Jie. They are looping and looping, over and over again. Hope everyone who is feeling down now, get over it soon. I think I will. There are better things to do than to cry over spilled milk. This is life. Slow down and you are obsolete. At least for the rat race... Going for lunch now. Maybe getting bubble tea later. *bitter smile*

4.07pm

Bought 1 cup of bubble tea. Chocolate Ice-blended. Kee Ping bought another for me. *grins* Called Sharon just now. Had a gut feeling about it. True enough. She got the award. *grins* Congrats. Half of my mind, the logical side knew she would have got it. Maybe just could not make myself to believe it. *silly grins* Kind of feeling better. At least she is obvious more of a high-flyer compared to me. At least I did not lose it to some one that I do not respect. Had once myself a couple of times if joining Union was the wrong choice. But I know that I should not regret any decision that I made. It was just a question. Told myself that it would be irresponsible to just run away for overseas trip and leave everyone behind. I know it to be true. I could not make myself to run away to Switzerland and left D&D. I could not leave FOC for Yunan. Sorry Kyle. Thank you for the opporunities. But I know my responsibilities. I know where I am needed most. At least I know I had done all I can... Btw, I am going back school tomorrow. *grins*

7.43pm

Hadijah talked bad about me. *angry* *grins* Kidding.

11.59pm

Good Night Singapore. Picture of the day is Ken. Our production's Director of Photography. Handsome right? *grins*

May 15th, 2006.

SIP Day 13:

3.25pm

Do not know the reason. Suddenly felt a sense of profound sadness. Doing my D&D project report in the office. A lot of work stuck. Listening to "emo" music again. Brought back a lot of memories. Maybe this is why I am feeling this way. BR completed filming yesterday. For my part, there are still quite a number of voice overs I need to do. But the bulk of the filming is done. Ready for editing. Everyone of the cast and crew hope this will be something big. *fingers crossed* Looking through photos and look at my schedule. I am wondering if everything will move faster and faster, until there will not be time to even look at the photos. What will happen? Everyday there are things happening. Everyday I have something to do. Or at least something new to do. I guess this is really the thing. The thing of growing up. As you grow older, everything double, triple and so on so fro. It is a race to be faster and better than everyone else. To get out of the rat race. Sitting in a CC office, I can feel the bliss of working in an environment like that. But I guess I like it otherwise. I cannot take it to be in the rat race forever. That is why I am doing so many things now. At my age, who can have a total of 1000 phone numbers in their handphones. And they are not like friends numbers. They are like numbers of people and companies that can be an opportunity. Let me quote an example, in the filming industry, out of a cohort of about 180 students who graduates, only 20 works in the corporate world and out of the 20, only 1 will make it. Ironic right? Where do the other 160 people go to? You will be surprise how many people work in places that they are not working in the field that they want to, or even studied in. As I get to know more people, greater is my understanding. This actually fueled my desire to get out of the rat race and do what I want, do what I like. But for now, all this make me feel very old, or at least weary, wore out. Too weary for my age...

4.39pm

Hadijah asked me how come I want to do things "big big". Something came across my mind. An analogy. "If you throw a small stone, the ripple will only be this small. But if you use a big rock instead, the ripple will be very much bigger." True?

7.05pm

Just finish my D&D project report. I bet it heard been a long time since any of you heard about D&D in my blog right? *grins* There are some problems with finances. But no worries. Nothing that my main committee cannot sort out. Just finished the version 1. Definitely need refinement. Kyle asked me for pictures of D&D, saying it is for SU, for CCA Awards. *Scratch head* Anyway, will need it for myself anyway. Meeting Jo tomorrow to get them. I haven seen my parents for a long long time. Around 3 weeks. When I am home, they are asleep. When I am awake, they will either be still asleep or went out for work already. *sads* Never mind. I am meeting them for dinner later! Belated Mothers' Day! *grins*

11.59pm

Had a very nice dinner. *grins* Going to have some much needed rest. Good Night Singapore!

May 9th, 2006.

SIP Day 9:

4.57pm

I am writing this entry using paper and pencil before I type it out and upload to blogspot. I was thinking, since I have the time why not use this chance to brush up my handwriting? Currently, it looks like a primary school kid practicing on the jotter book. I need to practice more. Seriously, if a doctor sees my handwriting, it would have make him/her proud.

Having 4 meeting for 4 consecutive nights. These few days I had been thinking. Since my Hong Kong trip and before that since my Korea trip, I have not had a good or even proper rest. I really ought to give myself a long break.

I was busy with a lot of things, since my D&D ended, followed closely I had FOC week, Week Zero, SIP week 1, SIP week 2 with the GE and BR Production. Now into the third week of SIP, i am having tons of meetings and even working on Vesak Day. All these while, there are still a lot of other unseen stuff that need to be done. Nearly everyday I get friends from all over who smsed me and ask me out. Really wish to go out with them, but sadly, I cannot. I think will reallly die young. *grins*fingers crossed* Because not long ago, I was told by Ah Boi that, people are more prone to stroke if lack of sleep. Still cannot plan a date to have a D&D "Thank You" dinner. Looking at having a massage trip with Ah Boi but schedule too tight. Every night when I laid down on the bed, I try to relax, the aching will get unbearable and my body will automatically restrain and I have to slowly let go of the tension. I really should relax. Someday...

Saw Sybill twice today! Once when I was on the bus, she was on the bustop. She was also at the CC for tution. *grins* Picture of the day, the multiple face of Snowden. "Haha!" Good Night Singapore!

May 8th, 2006.

SIP Day 8:

In office. Finished most of my stuff. Feeling very tired and aching all over my body. Some injuries from BR. Throughout the week of filming, I was beaten on the ground, slapped, drenched in the shower, dunked in the water, ran, wore ugly costumes, and many more. Thinking back, it was quite scary to have gone through it. If my life is like that, I think I will be very miserable. But all of that was worth it.
Everything was great. The shots, the crew, the cast, everything was great. Now, my foremost wish is to finish this film. Never mind the film festivals, never mind the injuries, never mind if there is no pay. All that matters to me is to see the whole film at it's end. The final product. Even if it was just a copy for me. Just keep my fingers crossed.

I was waiting at home for Wei Fang to call me and tell me the time to go down for the shoot at Randy's. Was channel surfing and stopped at HBO and watched. The show was "Necessary Roughness". It is the typical film about a team of sportsmen, in this case, American Football players. The captain of the squad was a golden boy in his high school days. He had to get over himself, get into the squad, get into everyone else and finally get the win that they needed. It is this kind of film that I like. At the end of it, my eyes teared. I do not why.

Going to meet Judith later. Regarding NDD. I am currently juggling 3 different projects at the same time. Really feel very drained. I am not as young as I use to be. *grins* I do not think everyone else's SIP is as challenging as mine. Going to do up my schedule now. Come to think about it, I do not mind if I am can have acting as a career option.

6.28pm:

2 hours 30 minutes to meeting time and I have finished all my stuff for today.

Is 66.6% a strong mandate? Even at PM's home ground, the Opposition managed to get more than 30%. I think this year's GE is a passable one. With the Opposition gaining more ground. It is near to the 65% that I had in mind. When I get my voting rights at the next GE, please keep up the good work. I hope PAP gets the indication of the results that the people are not very happy. *grins*

Met Judith. Discussed much. When out to party with Ah Boi, Satish, Kelvin and Jabie. Had fun. Cool! *grins* Picture of the Day, Snowden, the young Boon Huat, acting ugly. "Haha!" Good Night Singapore!

May 2th, 2006.

SIP Day 6:

Was too tired to write about BR Production Day 3. It was the most tiring day yet. From 9.30am till 1.30am. Reached home about 2am. Went to Randy's place and looked at some shots and other works. All of them are very good. All of them are award winning pieces. There are a lot things we can learn from them. Wonder if this production can achieve as much. *wonders* Anyway going to sleep after finish my article. Does not have a picture of the day today. Do not be sad people.

Wrote some things during my SIP hours, of course after completing my work. Below was what I wrote:

Sitting in the office. Finished my stuff. Both my project supervisors are not in. I guess having a long weekend. Reading and updating myself on the current election news. Everyone and everything is about the General Elections now. Pick up the newspaper and there are at least 10 pages of news on the GE's situation. Everyday the different parties get their views across to everyone, without paying a single cent to the newspaper.

To me, although first time in 18 years, the ruling party PAP did not win outright on the Nomination Day, the results are apparent. It is obvious that PAP will win, again. It is the matter of which of the Opposition parties will get into the Parliament and how put up a good fight. I believe, as do many people out there, that this GE will be a turning point for Singapore.

This year, all the parties put up a lot of new faces. 24 from the PAP, 7 from the SDP. and both SDA and WP revealed 20 candidates each. This is indeed the new wave. With the opposition putting up their best fight in years, this shows that more people are standing up to speak for themselves and fight for what they believe is good for the people. But there is a risk. If the percentage of win go past 80% in favor of the PAP, this means most of the Singaporeans do no wish to see the current Opposition. If the percentage of win falls to below 65%, this means the Opposition can try harder and more likely to succeed in the future and thus making PAP work harder, if they they wish to retain more members in the Parliament.

But for now I do not see of feel as substantial materials coming from the Opposition, It is almost pitiful. Most of the things the Opposition picked on for election rallies topics are pathetic. They should listen to themselves. If I am able to vote (1 year short), I am a neutral voter. Depending who is able to convince me, they will get my vote. For now, if I am able to vote within my constituency, it will still be for PAP. SDA picked a very weak theme for Tampines. A website, www.unemployment.com.sg, is set up by them to help residents get better jobs and solve the problem of unemployment fast. I had a look at it and even called up Mr Edmund Ng. All the answer I got were very vauge. Nothing can be said to convince me. I believe I can go a better job of convincing people.

There are other topics such as job theme "Singaporean First" policy, abolish water conservation tax, scrape taxes on daily essentials, such as salt and flour. How do you think Singapore is so rich in the first place? If the Opposition was the government then, giving out free health care services, free public transport as they had said in one of their rallies, do you think we have the funds to even buy water from Malaysia? If all the jobs are giving to Singaporean first, who would want to study hard enough to compete with the smarter, more talented pool of people? Who are the foreign talents will come here? Not everyone is Charles and Keith. How will the MNCs come into Singapore? How are we going to maintain the status of the South-East Asia regional hub? We are only a 4 million people country. We are already facing problems with the growing giants such as China and India. And scrap and abolish the Public Transport Council? Put more Opposition members in the different committees. Win the seats first. "Only with competition, comes improvement." Even me, a 20 years old teenager knows this. I serious wish the Opposition can bring up more important issues as rallies topics. Like, how to deal with terrorism? How to compete with China and India? Any plans? Not pick up stuff like why are flats not built with lifts stopping over at each level? If people have thought of that 30 - 40 years ago, there would have flying cars already. *grins* It was because of the growing population and the affordability at that time. It was the initial period of nation building.

All in all, I wish to commend on MM Lee and the founding fathers of Singapore. Think about it. In just a short 40 years, can you or anyone that you can think of, that can transform Singapore, a tiny red dot on the map, into what she is now. Think of anyone? Anyone from the Opposition? "Haha!" Anyway, I have to admire the spirit of Mr Low TK, the WP party-general-secretary, saying "If you want to win, join PAP. If you join the WP, prepare to lose." This GE is quite an improvement. But please up a better fight, because I will be able to vote in the next GE.

BR Production Day 2:

Today was again great! William drove me down and with had breakfast with together, with his kids. Met my "mother" and "siblings"! So cool! Today there were a lot of people, crew and cast. Everything was done it quite fast, compared to yesterday. Although there were a delay at the start, but everything was quite ok. Got to know more of the crew and cast. Like Sloden, Sybil, Fei Zai, Marilyn, Maggie, Clarissa, etc. Really played around with them. Had quite a few intense scenes. Quite tired. Do not want to tell you all too much. It will spoil the fun! "Haha!"

My "elder sister", Maggie wrote about me in her blog! "Haha!" Promoting me to all the girls. Crazy girl. *grins* Tomorrow will the third day of the production. Again wants to write more, but too tired. Maybe getting old, I guess. "Haha!" Picture of the day is picture of Fei Zai, Maggie, Sybil and me! Clarissa was the one taking the picture. Enjoy! Good Night Singapore! Have fun for the public holiday tomorrow!

BR Production Day 1:

Reported at Changi Jetty, 8am. *Yawn* Was quite impressed by the amount of equipment. Long time since I had been to Ubin. Changed so much. Last time, when I in secondary school, been to Ubin like it was my second home. Because of training for orientation for NCC. Now it is like quite different, yet familiar.

The first attack came immediately after we reached our first area. Mosquitoes! "Argh!" Totally got whacked by them! *grins* Had a opening prayer ceremony for good weather. Even had a roast pig! Cool right? A lot time spend on transporting the stuff around and setting up. My first scene was to get beaten up. How sad! But it was quite cool. All in all, everything was fabulous! The scenery, the nature, and especially the production! The people are real cool. Everyone knows what to do. Very tiring today. Hope everything will completed in seven days, as scheduled. But I am starting to miss it already.

Acting is my passion. Something which I had found out in my year one. I really love what I am doing. There are similarities and differences in both theatre and filming. I really love doing everything part of it. No matter what are the scene requirements, how many times I need to do the scene, I am always ready to do it.

Tomorrow going back to Ubin again. Cool. Mosquitoes Feeding Time again! Picture of the day is a very nice scenery picture which I took while exploring my camera abilities. Terence, our scriptwriter, was giving me a few tips on photography. Had thought of a lot of things to write but too tired now. *grins* Anyway, all my producers told me to have rest. So I am go now. Good Night Singapore. Hope the production will be a success!

April 28th, 2006.

SIP Day 5:

Again wanted to blog yesterday. Too tired. *grins* Had a very tiring day yesterday. Went to help put up poster and billboards for PAP! "Haha!" Quite cool. First time I seen hundreds of people gathered at the basketball court, after a short speech by Mr Mah, all went to the Nomination Centre. A sea of white. *grins*

Felt like a Koala Bear yesterday. Hugged nearly 20 plus lamp posts. *grins* Had very nice view while hugging them. "Haha!" Spent the whole afternoon doing that.

When to BR meeting again. It was fitting day! Cool! My costumes are so cool. Very me. The costumes for the rest of the cast are all very nice! Was falling asleep at first. After fitting my first costumes, I am very much awake. But after some of rest left, some of the energy just drain out of me. Yawning all the way home. Guess I am really tired. *grins* Got my production dates already. This coming saturday, sunday, monday (public holiday! argh!), wednesday (hope I got time to go for CCC meeting), thursday (hope I got time to go for YEC meeting), saturday and sunday. "Argh!" Two weekends burned! "Haha!" Nevermind. It is going to be fun! Cause this weekend going to stay over at Pulau Ubin for some scenes. Cool right? *grins*

Today I had finish my part of the sponsorship for NDD. The first part at least. Still got two important proposal to rush out. At the first draft by next week. So I am really on a tight schedule. Kyle called me to go for the BOG meeting in two weeks' time. *sad* So many things to do, so little time." Going for a block party later. RC Zone 7. Hope it will be fun. After that, going for Yaoda's Birthday party. *Yawn* So tiring.

Finally back from Yaoda's bday bash. it was a great success! So many people turned up. I think it is because Yaoda had given all of us so much laughs and smiles that everyone is willing to give it back as well. There were cheers and much laughters. It was so TPSU! Eddie was nearly stripped of his pants, for a porn shot. "Haha!" Yaoda was nearly down with all the alcohol in his body. Everything was smashing. Hope my 21st can be as happening as his!

Tomorrow again to be in Ubin. It will be the first day of the filming. So excited. Could not sleep. Hope it does not rain. *fingers crossed* Anyway Good Night Singapore. And three cheers for Yaoda once again! May most your wishes come true. Life cannot be too perfect right? *grins* The pictures of the day will be the March of the Whites and me in one of my costumes. Cool right? See all of you when I am back in Sunday night. Miss me! :)

April 25th, 2006.

SIP Day 3:

Wanted to blog yesterday. But fell asleep on the sofa. Again. *grins* I really must kick the habit. Today went to school for lunch again. Went to work. Went out with some of my colleagues for a site rackey, for an event on Sunday. Quite cool! Had fun in the car. "Haha!"

Had my first NDD (National Day Dinner) Meeting. Quite serious. *grins*

Everyone is getting ready for the GE (General Elections) tomorrow. I will be helping out too! Cool right? Tomorrow Workers' Party will be at Ngee Ann Secondary! It is going to be interesting. First time involve in such an event. Like I said to Ah Boi recently, "I learn something new everyday!" *grins*

April 24th, 2006.

SIP Day 2:

The time now is 9.29am. Just came in for the past 15mins. Today is going to be fun. I hope. *grins* "Expect something new each day, it makes you younger." Cool right? Going to lunch with my freshies later. *grins*

Just came back from lunch. Went back to school to collect my cheques and had a noisy lunch with my freshies. Quite cool.

More work for NDD. Now asked to do sponsorship. "Val! I need you! Haha!"

April 24th, 2006.

11.59pm

Quite pissed today. I really cannot go on like this. One moment I was asleep and the next I was receiving calls, the whole morning from 10am onwards. Just because someone could not be found, my number was naturally the next everyone called. Why? I had to jump out of bed and handle people who are confused, pissed and angry, all the way through the time I change my clothes, brush my teeth and the only time in the morning which I was free was during the time I was bathing. I was so pissed. This is not the first time something like that happened to people around me. I am now having my SIP. I cannot be also there. Although I want to, but remembering what Wendy told me, I must move on. Now I can see myself doing something else which is similar but on a bigger scale of what I am doing now. Instead of the Union and TP, I can help the community. Which is the next step up. I really hope people can handle things and hold their fort themselves.

Anyway, during the time I was in TP today, the Plaza area was bustling with activities. Today was the start of the Sporting Culture. The recuritment drive for all the sports groups in school. Saw a lot of freshies today. Everyone looked cool, looked happy and some looked lost. "Haha!"

SIP Day 1:

Fun and interesting. As usual, orientation around the place and briefing on the job scope. Primary project is to assist in Tampines GRC's National Day Dinner'06. Secondary case is to sell as many Passion Cards as possible. These are not problems. They are in my element. *grins* It is the people around who I need time to adapt. Most of the people are big shots from here and there. They are all great addition to my contacts. A sudden boast for my network. Went through the notes for my two cases. Looks ok.

Went to the Meet the People Session (MPS) today. Met Simon Leong. A marketing manager at Singapore Turf Club. Quite a funny guy. Meet a few different groups of people with different cases. Ranging from problems with ICA to HDB to entry to schools etc. Very interesting. I got to know more things in the two hours than many hours in school. In future any of the things I know happening, I will know how to handle them. I always loved knowledge. To me, Knowledge = Power.

There are so many things for me to do for this SIP. So many meetings. How fun! *grins* Anyway Good Night Singapore! Reporting for work at 9am in the morning. Please do not miss me! Take care. Picture of the day is another picture of Spydra at Sentosa. Just that with a crazy me. "Haha!"

April 23th, 2006.

11.59pm

Today's outing was very happening. Spydra alone counted past fifty people. "Haha!" So you can image how many people were there from TPSU FOW/FOC!

On the way to Harbourfront, a thought struck me. As the bus travelled through CBD, I notice the names of the buildings. Some of them sounds very cool for thirty years back. *grins*

Anyway as usual, it is always difficult to move in a big group. But it was fun! And frightening. "Haha!" Imagine fifty people finding place to eat. Or rather "FEED." *grins* We played games, cheered in bus, creating a nuisance of ourselves and more importantly had fun. I hope everyone had enjoyed themselves as I had. "Freshies, don't be sad. Spydra can organise outings and chalets."

Actually, throughout these two days, I am very sad and emotional. Because one of my good friends died. No. I am not joking. He was just 27 years old. He was going to get married. He changed so much for this girl. He just got a full time job. What I was told was he fell down in the toilet and just died. The autopsy stated that he died of heart attack. "What?! Why do the upper powers play with us?" He was just 27! I am suddenly overwhelmed by a sadness and felt that the human life is "oh-so-fragile." "Jali Boi, you are going to be miss..."

Picture of the day is a picture with most of the Spydra in it. The others were all around. *grins* Good Night Singapore. And Good Bye Jali Boi.

April 22th, 2006.

10.37pm

Again totally shagged out! Slept till 4 plus. The whole of yesterday was quite pack. Again. What is not pack in my life nowadays? *wonders* Stayed over in school. Did not sleep much. Totally wasted. Despite all the same old problems, I had fun yesterday. Regatta and Jam & Hop were a total whopper! Especially Jam & Hop! For all those who do not know, Ah Boi is the designer for the lighting and the staging. Cool right? I am so proud of him. I really think we got a future in this business. *grins*

Jam & Hop was a killer! Once in the Spydra's circle, you can come out!!! "Haha!" I was real fun. As usual, we went to CPF after that. I would like to thank all my officials. "Thank You!"

Just signed in to MSN just now. And as usual, multiple windows popped out, "Ti Dong! Ti Dong! Ti Dong!" So many people to talk to, so little time. So many questions, so little time. Till now still blogging and chatting (11.57pm). *grins*

Was talking to Biskot. And I wish to tell all my GLs that I am really going to miss every single one of them! During the last day of FOC, when almost all of my GLs cried, I was really lost and really wanted to do something for them. But did not know how. All of them, really mean so much to me. All of them gave me one of the best time of my life and taught me winning is not everything.

Going Sentosa tomorrow. FOW/FOC outing. It is going to be fun! SIP going to be start on Monday. Wonder how my life is going to be for the next four months.

Picture of the day is Fazly, me and Derry. Year 2, Year 4 and Graduate. "Haha!" *sigh* Going to miss those days. Good night Singapore!

April 19th, 2006.

12.36pm

Totally shagged out yesterday. Wanted to blog. But simply cogged out. *grins* Had a hectic night yesterday. Ya. Only the night. Went to school for the afternoon. And slack around. Talk about Jam & Hop with the rest. After which the hectic-ness starts with an interview with my SIP company, PA. Yes! PA. Peoples' Association. Actually it is quite cool. "Haha!" That was at 4pm. After that I rushed for Spydra's debrief. Was late for like 30mins. But I was not the latest. *roll eyes*grins* Soon after, around 7pm, I took a cab and rush to katong. Remember that production I was talking about? Ya. Had a production meeting. Could not rush back for Spydra's dinner. Heard a lot of people was looking for me. "Sorry!" Anyway, I was home at about 1am. Quite enjoyed the whole process.

The production is quite on track. I saw more casts involved and there was the poster! It is so cool to see my name there! More of the production can be find out from, becomingroyston.blogspot.com. or from, www.becomingroyston.com.

Going to school now! Catch ya all later! *winks*

12.55pm

Ah Guang just SMS me, saying he just woke up. *roll eyes*

April 20th, 2006.

1.30am

Back. The usual thing. In school and busy my ass off. Meeting. Paperwork. Etc. Went to town and relax. Watch Eight Below. Quite cool. Nice movie actually. I love the dogs! I was so sad when the dogs were left alone and they had to handle things themselves. Nevermind. Should not tell you all too much. *grins* Anyway, going to sleep already. Going school tomorrow. Again. *roll eyes* Going to have some rest now. Good Night Singapore!

April 17th, 2006.

3.27pm

Slept till 3plus pm. Till now still feeling quite shag. Had a good look at the mirror just now, my eyes still looks terrible. *grins* For the past 6 days, I really really had fun and had an amazing experience. Do not know why, I cried. During each year's FOC, we will have the graduates to come out and say some stuff. I thought I would not cry, as I am not graduating. At first I was not feeling. But I do not know why, after a while, after some of the others have spoken, the tears just came. Tried to hold back my tears but I failed. Could not remember much about what I had said. But a lot of people say it was very touching. And my GLs told me the "tap started flowing" after my third word, or something like that. "Haha!" And yesterday, I had the most amount of hugs in a single day! *grins* Very heart warming to know that there are so many people are concern about me. I thought it was quite ugly to cry in front of so many people. But my GLs told me, I was just a "man of real emotions". *grins*

Through the six days of FOW/FOC AY05/06, I had learnt a few things. Sometimes in life you win, sometimes you lose. Even if you lose now, let it go. It just mean that it is time to go and win it the next time or win other things. Once you know the feeling of losing, the more the feeling of winning is sweet. What is more important is what one can learn. When everything end, it is the feeling, the spirit, the memories that are precious. They are the things that are everlasting and worth remembering. Taino, Rector, Xeon and Spydra. These are the names of my OTC and FOC empires. I may not remember each and everyone of the people in them but all of them are someone special to me. It is like if someone comes up to me and says, "Hi! I was from Rector/Xeon/Spydra!" I would be so very happy! Because the things that I went through with each of the empires had been a life-changing experience.

If I had not join as a GL, I would not be what I am today. I maybe still coup up in IT school and a normal production crew who runs around doing backstage work. I know so many people after every OTC, every FOC. I would not be the Vice-President of TPSU now, if I had not join TP. I am really feel grateful to Production Crew and TPSU. Because of them, I have come to love TP so very much. Until such a stage that I am not sad that I am retaining for another year. I think next year I will be even more sad than now.

If I am to go through the past six days of activities, I will definitely miss some stuffs. Anyway, I would like to thank all my GLs for all the hard work done, all the efforts that they put in. My freshies, for attending the camp, for being so sporting, for giving me the one of the best time of my life.

I am starting to talk like I am going to leave TP. "Haha!" Silly me. Anyway, say so much also no use. I have too much to say. Maybe I will post them in future entries. *wonders* Good Night Singapore. Picture of the day is a photo of all the participant of FOC!

April 9th, 2006.

4.17pm

Recently, I went for an audition. The crew from the Project Pilot film which I was involved in, called me up and told me that there is a production house which found me very suitable for a role which they are casting in an upcoming new production. Was thinking that I could not get the role as I had no news of it ever since the audition. Out of the blue, last night, the producer of the production SMSed me. He said the director wants to meet me. Today the director, Nicholas called me. He told me I got the role! *grins* So happy! Once I got off the phone, I immediately told my parents. But my parents gave me an indifferent attitude. *sad* My mummy told me what all I need to do now is to get my diploma. Everything else I do now is useless and for nuts. As least this is what I interpret from her words. *sad* Is the piece of paper so important? I mean I know it is important if I am looking for an office job. But I am not. I do not even mind doing odd jobs for life. That is how I am. That is something which I really do not like about Singapore's education system and society. One wrong step and you are struggling for life. Can someone please do a survey and find out the what Singapore kids want? I know compare to other countries surrounding us, we are very well off. But I think it is a trade off. Sometimes I think I am a farmer, a wanderer at heart. Sometimes I really wish to let go of everything and just go travel the world. See for my eyes first how the world is like. My parents could not be more supportive? On Chn U now, there is a repeat telecast of the Campus Superstar. I am wondering if the one on the stage is me, how will my parents be like? Supportive? Indifferent? Nothing matter more than the piece of paper? Maybe I will be like that to my children in the future? *wonders*

9.12pm

Wish to highlight a newspaper article. Sunday Times' Lifestyle. Page 4. It is able nowadays Singapore's Alpha Females. I think some of the people whom I know should read it up. Either those deal with them or some who wish to become them.

Anyway going to school already. Can feel the hype coming up on me! Thought this would be my last FOC. Alas, how wrong I am. *grins* Anyway I will cherish all the memories. *smiles* Take care Singapore! I will! Need to go and pack my bag now. *winks* Front side of my Spydra's tee!

April 9th, 2006.

3.06am

Home. Just now had a night out with Ah Guang, Andrew, Eugene, Yao Ming, Flannery and Ah Boi. Seven guys out for a movie in town. How lonely. *grins* Watched "Reincarnation". Everyone of us rate it as 7/5 stars. It is a must watch. "Haha!" Anyway I had fun. *grins*

First, I would like to thank everyone for your concern. Really appreciate it. Really can feel the love. *grins* Finally let the cat out of the bag. Do not know why. But this morning after I woke up and on the way to the bustop, I called my father and told him about the matter of me retaining. It was all not according to plan! The plan was to tell my mummy first and let her break the news to my dad. "Argh!" Do not know what struck me. Anyway, it was not as bad as I would have thought it would be. Both my mummy and dad was more of disappointed than angry. Come to think about it, I am very sorry for causing trouble and worry to them. I truly am. *breath in* What I can do now is to study hard and clear everything. Do what I can. Just glad that the worst part is over.

Another person that I wish to bring up is actually Wendy. My year one Dramatec president. Here is a person who actually have an impact in my life. She is the one who believe in me. She is the one who ignited my passion in acting. She is the one who casted me in my first ever lead role, my first real acting experience, "Sing to the Dawn". She always care. Everytime she sees me, she asked about how I am. And I can really felt that she meant it. I met her today on the train. She boarded at Tanah Merah. She thought I was graduating. But I told her I am retaining. She kind of gave me a scolding. "Haha!" She told me I am a talent. But I need to move on. Move out of TP. Maybe go into politics. *grins* We could not talk much, she alighted at Bedok. Until now she still believe in me so strongly, although we have met only a couple of times since she graduated two years back. "Thank You Wendy!"

In less than 20 hours, I am going to school for Freshmen Orientation Camp. I am so excited! Kind of. Beenox is very prepared. *grins* Hope my Spydra is up to the challenge. Picture of the Day is the t-shirt design of Spydra! Enjoy! And Good Night Singapore! *winks*

April 7th, 2006.

9.30pm

Sitting at Tampines small mac for the pass one hour. And still waiting for Sook. *grins* Keeping myself busy by people-watching. It is quite fun. You people out there should give it a try. You can get to see how people dress, how people walk, how people smoke, how people smile, how people frown, how people hold hands etc. There is always something to learn.

Anyway, one of my avid readers actually SMS me saying, "Hey,happen 2 read ur blog. didnt noe wat happen bt I persnaly feel, dnd was great, at least tings went well n ppl enjy. Juz take comnt n feedback as pointers 4 future ref. Dun take wrds too harshly. Dnd is u n ur team's baby.Juz remb,Its nt actuali abt the outcum,bt u enjyed d process=) *pat k dun nag le=x tc!" And I really wonder if this avid reader is a mass comm student. "Haha!" Thank you! Really appreciate your concern. Will try to work towards something like that.

Sook is still not here. Going to call her now.

Just got off the phone. We are going to reschedule the meeting. Going home now.

11.00pm

Watching "Peach Protein" on SCV Chn 49. I like this TV program more everytime I watch it. It really touch on some topics which come to mind everytime. Once, one taiwan artiste point out that, when a girl goes into a relationship means she love him but for the guy, normally it means he somewhat like her. Funny how this sound to you young guys and girls right? Today's topic is on "Force Marriage". Guys are the ones who will run away most of the time when the marriage topic is brought up. The guests invited for the show are very interesting. All the things they have spoken are very true. I agree. People should not marry because of outside pressure. Nothing should be force.

Oh! By the way, today I have applied for CCA Scholarship. Andrew and Guang had too. Hope we are successful! *fingers cross*

And I am still waiting for my parents to come back to tell them the news.

April 6th, 2006.

8.52pm

Currently in YEC meeting. Very few people in attendance. And it is freezing. As usual, nothing new or interesting. Went through the D&D pictures Elyn took. Very nice! Brought back a lot of memories. "Haha!" Sound like it had ended ages ago.

Anyway, today we(D&D main committee) had a post event debrief. At first, most of the others did not wish to speak at first. I had to speak until I am dizzy. *grins* Once everyone warmed up, it got tensed. After everything, I asked Ah Guang, "Have I done anything wrong?" I hope everyone do not have any regrets joining the committee. I would still like to express my utmost gratitude and appreciation to every single person who had helped out in D&D, in one way or another. Like what I keep saying these few weeks, "Live and Learn". Most of the finances have been settled. Thought we can settle everything this week, but after talking with Ah Guang, it seems that we will need another week or two. *sad* Think I should go back and concentrate on the meeting. Do not know why I feel very low now. Maybe cause the debrief. *pouts*

9.37pm

Still in the meeting. But something just came to me as I was browsing through the NYC newsletter. During the debrief, one question was thrown to me, "After six months of hard work, who do you think is more heartache about the video?" To me, naturally it will means all the main committee members. This whole thing is not about a single department, not a single person, not me, not Ah Guang etc. This problem which concern everyone. Everyone feels bad and sad about it. Period. Thinking back, I should not be always blaming myself everytime someone make a comment about me. For issues on my style of management, if everyone have anything to say regarding it, I cannot help it. It is my style. It may change in the near future, it may never. I have no idea. Ten years down the road, if everything I have use on my main committee members is of no use, no experience earned, then I have nothing to say. Up till date, I believe the things that I had done are for the best, for the personal growth of the main committee. *wonders* "Really?"

11.40pm

Home. Do not understand why I am still quite bother about the whole thing. Do not know why I cannot be like Ah Guang. Be silent and keep his cool about everything. Was listening to my IPod when on the way home just now. Do not know why, everytime the song will definitely suit my mood. This time it is "Unwell" by MatchBox Twenty...

April 4th, 2006.

10.56am

Now at SAA waiting for Lawrenz. Suppose to meet him to discuss about Week Zero matters. But he is now where to be found. And I just had a nose bleed. *frowns* Do not know why. Out of the blue. Luckily I save my shirt from the blood. *grins* Sometimes I really think I am dying... Wanted to go to work out yesterday. Going to work out today. But nose bleed... "Hack lah! Die, die lor!" "Haha!"

3.24pm

Now en route to town. Going to meet Elyn. Going to get my D&D pictures from her. I am soOoOo excited! *grins* But today's weather is like the Blue Monday, or rather the crazy Saturday. From the scorching sun, suddenly the weather turns into a torrent downpour. Have not a single clue what the Heavens are planning. Having a quarrel? Crying? Or making fun of us "O' mere mortals"? On bus 23. Suppose to meet Elyn at 3pm. So obviously I am late. *grins* "Sorry Elyn! (If you are reading this)" Going to change bus now. See ya guys later!

7.06pm

Currently sitting in TCC - Lido. Elyn went to answer the phone. She looks troubled. Do not know why, but today's atmosphere is somewhat different from the other days. Maybe it is the lack of the crowd? The noise? Soft music permeates the air. Quite cool. Should get back to talking to her. *grins*

11.59pm

Home. For now, everything on my mind now revolves around how to tell my mum about my results... Anyway, Picture of the Day is on the picture which Elyn thinks is very nice. She developed two pieces of it! "Haha!" By the way, "Thank You Elyn!" for your help during my D&D! :)

April 4th, 2006.

2.21am

Just finished watching "Train Man" on SCV Chn 56. I think it is a very nice drama series. It is one of those which actually can catch my attention and glue my eyes to it. The story is about the typical one man who is not popular with girls, low self esteem, cry baby etc. By a stroke of chance, he met and saved a beautiful girl from a drunkard on the train. From then on, the all story is about how his online friends, people who do not know each other, encourage him to go for the girl. Try to catch it yourself. It is nice. It kind of reflect the thoughts in me. It is really amazing how the whole thing, which seems fictional, can happen in real life too.

Earlier today had FOC meeting, wanted to go work out. But it rained. *sad* Had people who came from the Singapore Association For the Deaf, to teach us the sign language. It is for our up and coming new school song. Everyone was just starting to catch it. But once they are suppose to do it with the school song, everyone went bonkers! It was so cool! So fun! *grins* Went to had a munch with Wei Qi. Bitched a bit. "Haha!"

Yesterday had plans to go to Rockamania XII for some plaque receiving thingy. But it was cancelled due to the rain. Went for nothing. Date Angel out. Went dinner. Bitched for around 3 to 4 hours. Talked a lot. Went movie. It has been a long while since we had time out together. Felt like old times. *grins*

A lot of things are happening and they are getting into me. Not feeling good. Never mind. Good Night Singapore. Picture of the day, Angel and me.

March 30th, 2006.

11.54pm

Just watched the "Icon People" video, for D&D, again. "Haha!" I think it is a very good idea to produce this video. I believe it touched a lot of the year 3s who watched it. Thinking back, looking at everything that we had done and had not done, I am going to miss D&D. Everything about it. Really going to miss all of it.

Although there were a few hiccups here and there throughout the event, everything went on smoothly. Everything turn out more or less the same as what we planned. From most of the feedback I have got, a lot of people like it! Glad that we, the D&D family, can be of help! For the past 6 months, everything and anything was about D&D. Now I feel very relieve and very relax. Suddenly feel very empty and thinks that I am very "no life" for the past 6 months. "Haha!"

Something for all you people out there, "Good things are hard to come by, and hardly come back." So enjoy and do everything like it is your last. I do and I do not regret having to stay for 1 more year in TP. Just do not know how to tell my mum. *wonders* Never mind. That is for me to worry. So, Good Night Singapore! And YeePing and Stefinity really do look like naked. *grins*

2.06am

4 more hours till wake up time. 9 more hours till set up time. 16 more hours till actual start of D&D. 24 hours till pack up time. Tones of things still undone, or at least seems to be. Hope everything will be fine. *cross fingers*

Everything is going well. We are at our 21st table already. We means D&D is a sell out! "Haha!". And there are still a lot of people who wants to buy tickets. *wonders*

Ok! Enough! I still have tones to do. Or at least some sleep. And I have not done my speech. "Argh!" Picture of the Day: D&D committee - Deep at work. Good Night Singapore!

4.34am

Yesterday did a setup for Mark Richmond and Beatrice Chia's wedding. Today was the show. Quite cool. I think it costed quite a bit to host 25 tables. It was at Changi Fairy Point 7! The yard outside had a transparent tentage set up. 10 over units of air conditions. It was terrible to set up as inside the tentage without the air-con on, was a killer. But I can guess why is it a place ideal to both of them for the wedding. The place is cool. Big enough. And the sunset was breath-taking...

Something came to my mind when they were doing their solemnization. Do all these words come up to people who said them 10 years, 20 years down the road? For Mark, this is the second time. Did he not said these similar set of words before? Do they not mean anything to him now? How about people out there? Throughout the duration of the wedding, I think most of the people there really enjoy themselves. With all the people from both Singapore's radio and theatre present. And with one of the most gorgeous wedding crowd. Who would not? The performances were cool. Everything, especially the whole concept, was right on the spot. Wonder how my wedding will be like? *scratches head* grins*

To add on the gorgeous crowd, guess who were present? *grins* Jamie Yeo, Jamie Teo, Jean Danker etc. Cool right? And Jamie Teo was sitting at the table right in front of me. "Haha!" although with Daniel Ong. *pouts* Today there are 2 Picture of the Day! This is to apologise to all my avid readers out there! One is of how the "ballroom" looks like, and the other is the glorious sunset! Enjoy and Good Night Singapore!

March 24th, 2006.

2.26am

Nowadays, everyone in the D&D committee found out that, everything they say revolve around D&D! They say anything and everything also can lead to D&D. Even in their sleep, they have dreams (or nightmare) about D&D! Glad that this event is so dear to their hearts. Anyway, I am blogging about D&D now! See what I mean.

Still feeling funny. "Haiz" Anyway, today's Picture of the Day is Yee Ping! One of my D&D Main Committee member. Best Friend leh. "Haha!" Good Night Singapore!

March 23th, 2006.

1.22am

Could not bring myself to blog these past few days. Do not feel like it. Sorry to all my dear avid readers. "Haha!" Feeling kind of bad. "Emo" again. Very. PMS? "Haha..."

D&D is going to end next week. It was just like yesterday when Guang and me was writing the memo for it. After nearly six months of planning, all of these, comes down to about five hours of show time. It is really incredible. You need to be in it, to feel it. All these are going to end. Very soon. Next week. Both glad and sad about it. Glad because the fruit of our labour is going to show and it is ending. "Phew!" Sad also because it is ending and I will really miss the whole committee.

Anyway, do not know what to do and feel nowadays. Feeling funny. "Haiz" So, Good Night Singapore and enjoy the picture of the day. They are some of the mascots for the D&D.

March 19th, 2006.

12.55am

Back from Sentosa today. Had fun.

Today had a talk with Yeeping. *wonders* again...

I do not believe in controlling one's girlfriend too much. Actions which will affect one's personal growth. At this age, this kind of thing will affect the future of the girl. Are you going to walk down the red carpet with her one day? Are you going to feed her for her rest of her life? Can you bear the responsibility of her not getting a job in the future?

Alright. Enough talk. Going to wash up and going to get some sleep. Later going to my Ah Ma's. Going to fun. Will be seeing my two baby cousins! And giving out souvenirs! Today's picture is also one I took in Hong Kong. So, Good Night Singapore.

March 17th, 2006.

11.59am

Back from a boring day. Nothing much to blog. 'Emo' again. Do not know why.

Good Night Singapore! Here is another picture taken at Hong Kong. Enjoy.

March 13th to 17th, 2006.

March 14th, 2006.

12.05am

Arrived Hong Kong at about 10am in the morning. And what a lucky day! Just today, the temperature falls to around 12 degrees. The first thing we went to do was to buy some sweaters and jackets. I brought mine along, so I was the one not doing the shopping.

Staying at the Empire Hotel Kowloon. It is in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui area. The surroundings are very bustling with life. Everything is very packed and people are about, doing there own stuff. Today we covered the whole area and even took the MTR to Central District, which is located on Hong Kong Island (Yes, all along I was in Kowloon. And yes, they are separated by the sea). The first thing that came to my mind was that of Shenton Way back home. The skyscrapers are really huge! Actually all the buildings in Hong Kong are very tall and big. Maybe because of the huge population. Anyway the reason we went to Hong Kong Island was to go The Peak! And oh yes! The view was breath-taking. Too bad it rained. We could not stay longer as the cold was almost unbearable to stay outdoors. And of course the Peak Tram trip to and fro was an one-in-a-lifetime kind of experience. It was so steep that I thought I was going to slide all the way down! It is an almost 45 degrees slope! And there is a Hard Rock Cafe at The Peak as well!

And since off the plane, I was looking for Curry Fish Egg (This is a direct translation). All of us could not see it anywhere. Although we saw some stalls with signs of it, but they do not look very good. I will be having my morning call at 6.45am, which is about... 6 hours from now. My little brother has already gone and most probably dreaming of all the pretty Hong Kong girls. *grins* I guess I better get some rest too. We will be having a long day ahead. Starting with dim sum breakfast! "Haha!" And I hope I can get to see the "A Symphony of Light", which is rated by the Guinness World record as the "World Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show." One of the best view that one can get is from the "Avenue of Stars", which is another must-go. "Argh!" So many places to go, and so little time. And so the search for the Curry Fish Egg continues...

March 15th, 2006.

12.40am

Now in my parents' room. My dad has been shooed off to my room to sleep with my brother. So today the two of them will be performing a symphony, mainly by the sound call, snore. *grins* My mummy is a very light sleeper.

Today we went to have dim sum for breakfast. It is as the HK movies, the old people covered the whole restaurant. It was ok, not really fantastic. Carried on to have a half-day city tour, which is to say, visit some factories and manufacturing firms. *Bored* We had a very traditional lunch of "pun choi". It is a BIG basin, full of mixed food.

Finally got to the Hong Kong Ocean Park. It was kinda of ok, if not for the number of China people. They are so uncultured. I was trying to take some photos, but they are so... "Argh". Both the Shark Aquarium & Atoll Reef (Aquarium) was amazing. The information and displays are fantastic. But if one do not know, they would have thought there was going to some World Business Meeting or something, with all the coats, typical dressing and noise created by the mainland people around. There must be more mainland people than the nat...

March 16th, 2006.

12.55am

I end the last entry such a way is because I had dozed off. *grins* I was trying to say that there must be more mainland people than the native Hong Kongers.

It is the same case when we went to DisneyLand Hong Kong. Although today's amount of mainland people are not as frightening as yesterday's. We started the day early, at about 7.30am. We went for breakfast and took the MTR (Hong Kong's version of our MRT) to DisneyLand. We planned to dedicate the whole day for it! It was amazing! It was our first experience with DisneyLand. The whole place, although not as big as I thought, was... magical! "Haha!" Even the train looks nice. It had Mickey windows, Mickey hand holds, statutes of Disney characters, cushion seats and... I am not going to tell all of you people out there how it is like. Cause it is worth the while to go and visit it yourself. No matter your age, relive the child in you for just a day. I would like to visit all the DisneyLand. Go world wide. "Haha!"

Went Temple Street just now. Not very happening. Compared to Ladies Street, which we went yesterday night, it is quite boring. We spent around HK$1000 just in Ladies Street. We brought tones of stuff! Quite happy. *grins*

Actually, I found Hong Kong a place which is very similar to Singapore. There are lots of things which are the same, yet different. Construction works can be seen anywhere. Yet there are lots of buildings that need to be renovated of demolished. I think Hong Kong will be changed in 10 to 20 years' time.

*Yawns* Getting very sleepy. Do not want to doze off. So I think I better end here, while I am still awake. I will be going back to Singapore in a few hours' time.

March 17th, 2006.

2.04am

Finally I am back, Singapore! To all you people out there, I miss all of you. But thinking back, I kind of miss Hong Kong too. It was really fun and refreshing. I really should go back there soon. Anyone who wish to go with me?! *wonders*grins*

Reality check. Back to the present. Now, there are lots of things to be done and to catch up with. *Yawns* Tomorrow going to the Queen E.'s event. Got to go and iron clothes now. Just now went through 44 emails and unpack the stuff. *tired* So see you soon, Singapore. In about 5 hours' time. Good Night! And enjoy the picture I took when I was at The Peak!

March 12th, 2006.

11.02pm

Packing bag now. And watching TV. And replying various SMSes. And thinking about what will go wrong here when I am in HK. *wonders* Parents have been telling me to pack for the past few days. I am a last minute packer kind of guy. There will always be things that need to in at the last minute.

Tuesday got ALP meeting, Wednesday got FOC meeting and Thursday got D&D meeting. People are scolding me about this and telling me not to think about them. To all: "I will TRY!"

Today went to IT Fair and bought two D&D prizes! "Haha!" One of which is a Olympus F-160 camera. It is a 6.0 Megapixels, metal body, 2.8x optical zoom lens, internal memory for recording images etc. And most importantly, this is not the top prize! To get it, simply buy tickets to the TPSU Annual D&D! Contact me if interested. I really sound like a salesman right?

Alright. I really should get back to packing and then get some sleep. Got to wake up at about 4.00am. Maybe I will not get to enter a entry. Hope I can get to enjoy this trip. All of you out there, please take care! You know who I am talking about you! Yes! You! Take Care! Do not make me worry! Special! Special! Today there are two pictures! One is of my new hair cut! And the other is obviously the F-160 camera I am talking about!



So, Singapore! See ya in four days' time.

March 11th, 2006.

3.51am

Just finished bathing. Just came back from town. Thank you, Andrew, for driving me back. Went to the ASC D&D. Then slack in town. Talked. And found out I failed my Major Project. *sad* I will call Dr Lim later to see if there is anything I can do about this. *wonders* Having a meeting at 10am, Raffles Place. Think I better go and catch a few winks, so to minus a few yawns later. "Haha!"

11.59pm

Back from slacking in town. Had the D&D meeting, and went down to Sentosa with Ah Guang. Meet Andrew and Ah Tan there. A lot of people today! Played volleyball. Met some Japanese kids. Had a couple of matches. Had fun! Andrew injured his knee during a dive. It was bleeding like mad. But he was still quite into the Jap girl. "Haha!"

When on the way back to the main island, someone came up and spoke to me while queueing up for the bus. He ask me if I am a CLT. Chatted a bit. Afterwards I felt old. "Haha!"

Dr Lim neither pick up my call nor reply my SMS. "Argh!" Going HK on monday. And D&D, TPSU, etc. Lots of things cannot stop worrying. Quite emo again.

March 9th, 2006.

11.59pm

I am BACK! Sorry Singapore for not been blogging for you people out there this past few days. Had been very busy. About my D&D. Had a chalet at Aranda. I believe all of us had fun. Although most of the time, the cloud of D&D hang over us (its a working chalet), we had lots of hilarious moments to compensate for it. Actually most of my D&D main comm has been telling me about they having nightmares about things going wrong for the event. I am glad that they are all very into making this run smoothly, hope I am not pushing them too hard.

Today, after checking out of the chalet, most of us went back to school. I had the rest to hurry the presentation materials for the presentation to Raymond. Caught some winks. The presentation was terrible. It went on for quite some time, as expected. But on the overall, all Raymond was concerned about was the ticket sales. The rest of the components like program is alright. Took quite a few bullets. But still alive. Barely crawled out of the room.

Went to KBox. Thinks that everyone needs a break and destress. With all the screaming, shouting and people going out of tune, it was actually fun! "Haha!" Do not know why, suddenly got emo again. And come to think of it, everytime I get into the KTV room, I will get the emo feeling. I think it is quite true that, Music is the soul to one's life.

Good Night Singapore. And it is nice to be back.

March 6th, 2006.

11.59pm

As I predicted, today was a killer monday. After all the meetings, all the talks and all the things to be done, everything seems to be to alright.

Something to happened to me again. Uncle Sam wants nominate me to go for the NYAA Singapore-Switzerland Bi-lateral Youth Exchange Programme 2006. There will only be 2 person who will be selected to go. I want to apply, but the period of this trip is on the 20th March to 1st April. And my D&D is on the March 29th. Again..., another chance missed. Missed OBS due to AGM, Missed OCP Yunan due to FOC, now going to miss D&D. *sad*wonders* Am I giving too much for Union? Am I giving up too many chances/opportunities? Can someone tell me?

Today's picture shows Ah Boi reading my IBook, literally. "Haha!" The whole scene was so funny. Good Night Singapore!

March 5th, 2006.

11.59pm

Quite an uneventful day. Woke up early to wake Ah Boi up. He was staying over as he got a show at the Singapore EXPO in the morning. After that, gave Elyn a morning call too. Went back to sleep.

Woke up and went into Operation "Find My Passport". Made the whole family quite pissed, as my passport cannot be found anywhere.

Went to my Ah ma's place. Ah Boi also come over and had dinner. The "Pig Trotters in Vinegar" was a killer! Damm nice. And my auntie's baby is so cute!!! She is only 1 week old. "Argh!" I want a baby. "Haha!"

Went to the Project Pilot's chalet. Quite fun. Caught up with the peeps. Got the DVD and cd of pictures! So fun! :)

Alright. Nothing much. Picture of the day is my auntie holding my baby niece with the her 2 years old sister trying to be kaypoh. "Haha!" Good Night Singapore. Tomorrow is going to be a killer monday. And I need to go back to Operation "Find My Passport" now...

March 4th, 2006.

11.59pm

Today I went to RP Opening, upon invitation of RPSU, with all my ExCos. It was fun. There were dunking stalls, free give aways like door gifts, popcorn, candyfloss, drinks, ice cream and lots other stuff. And there are a lot of sports happening all over the place. Things like floorball, basketball, captain's ball, soccer and others. There were even 2 snake handlers!

Most importantly, the whole idea was to get to know the others. We had the chance to talk and crap together, with Victor entertaining all of us!

After the Opening, some of us went to NTU to support our very own cheerleadering team, TP Blazers, in the competition, "Cheerobics." When we reach there, some of the other TP students from, Bowling, Ruby, Dance, family and friends are already there. Today's number of supporters who went was much better than I thought. But Blazers did not get it. "Never mind! We still love you people anyway!"


Went to Ah Boi's place to do up the internet wireless system for him. Lock, change password etc.

I feel very tired, cannot blog much too. So, Good Night Singapore. By the way, today's picture is on the 2 snakes in RP!

March 3rd, 2006.

12.52pm

Currently on MRT. Going to meet a vendor with Jo and Stefinity. Will be there only as the capacity of an advisor. Time to see how they perform.

Something that keeps me perplexed is when I am walking down the road, there are always people that keep getting the way. It is like driving and changing lanes with without first flash your signal lights. Some way or other, someone will stop in their tracks and look around, or someone might just about turn and go in the opposite direction, or someone will just do a slow motion "Initial D", and drift the the side while SMS-ing. Sometimes I feel like I am like a Mini Cooper, zipping around. Anyway, whenever one is rushing for time, that will be like me, noticing and frustrated about all these small things. I am just whining.

Jo called just now. And I am at lavender now. The meeting time was supposed to be at 1pm. Now it is 1.03pm. So, I am late. I really should go. Continue later...

11.59pm

Today had talk with Ah Boi. Talked about present stuff and future plans. Do not have the mood to blog. So, hope to see how nice Republic Polytechnic is. And today's picture is on my dear grandmother kissing my cute niece. "Haha!" Good Night Singapore.

March 2nd, 2006.

4.45am
Just came back from meeting Ah Boi, Jabie, Sylvia, Eve and their friends. Eugene, Noel and Sylvia drunk. Eve falling asleep. Jabie being is own crazy self. All of them are very funny. The only sane and awake people are Ah Boi and me. We had a talk. Was thinking over our plan. Really need to find one day proper to talk about it.

8.30pm
Currently in YEC meeting. But my mind is on TPSU. Suddenly thought of plans for the next semester. Some plans like workshops for foosball and pool. Or Personal Development Programs (PDPs) like "How to handle stress?", "I am a genius, so are you!" etc. I think I should concentrate on the meeting. Continue later...

11.59pm
Just got back from YEC meeting. Have quite a fair bit of things to be done. I realize it is really different for each and everyone. People expect different things from different people. I can see that in the YEC, there are only a few people who are involve in the discussions. Most of the time, the others only response when they are ask to vote or decide on something.

Today Kyle ask me if he want really wants me to go to the OCP Yunan with him, will I reconsider. My heart say yes but my brain say no. If I go, what will happen to TPSU?

Nah, do not have the mood to blog today. Have tons of things left undone, like emails, DnD details, YEC stuff etc. A bit "emo", again... Do not worry Singapore. Liangteh needs it's own troubled times too. Good Night Singapore.

March 1st, 2006.

3.54pm

Currently on the bus 23 to town. Going to change to bus 65 later. Feeling very tired and sad suddenly. Do not know why, but feel very relieved to leave school. Today, as usual, was woke up by phone calls. A total of 4 calls today, 3 of which are consecutive. And 7 SMSes too. Since I do not know when, this is the "norm" for most of my mornings. Only once in a blue moon, I can wake up from sleep myself. Lots of people asked me" Why couldn't you turn off your phone." I simply cannot. There might be a call out there that is really important. People tend to be grumpy when they are disturb from their slumber. I do not mind. But today do not seem to be one of my better day.

Today are all packed by last minute appointments. Go to school to sign some documents. I even forgot to do up 2 more payments vouchers that needs to be sign by Adeline. Meet a DnD vendor. Look for Kyle. Look for Lay Guat. Settle on a DnD meeting date on these few days. Now need to go to Wisma and repair my digital camera. Got a meeting at Cityhall with Ivan and Judith at 6.30pm. All these are only confirm today. 1 hour after I woke up.

Alright. I think should stop whining. Reaching Orchard soon.

11.59pm

On the bus home. Met Sahf at Centerpoint just now, to pass him the other 2 documents for Adeline and him to sign. We hang out with Wei Qi and Elyn for a while, as they happened to be at Plaza Singapura. Went to meet Judith at Raffles City. We went to Marina Square for sushi and Ivan was late. Talked and Judith brought up something while we were waiting for a table and Ivan. She told me that I should set up my own events company. "Haha!" I told her I have plans already. We discuss more on this subject. And when Ivan came, we had dinner and talked more about Tampines East CC stuff. Both agreed on me starting my own company.

Sometimes I feel that I said certain stuff just to prove that I know what I am saying. But I feel that others might misunderstand it as boasting. *wonders* Suddenly feeling emotional, again... "Haha!" And my handphone's batt keep going low everytime. Think I need to bring it for a check up. Good Night Singapore.

February 28th, 2006.

4.41pm

Currently sitting and slacking in TCC, Shaws. All 4 of us, Pamela, Jo, Yee Ping and me are slacking and browsing either newspapers or magazine. I bought FHM and Maxim. Pamela is now reading through FHM. She just commented on FHM's GND (Girl Next Door) 2006. "Haha!" I think some of them are ok, or even pretty but they are the minority. I support GND no. 16 and 90! Yee Ping looks bored. And Jo is very solemn. *wonders*

Today's Pan Pacific visit tighten up some details and my decorations committee had a rough idea of what they want to do for decorations. Kazumi just called and said that the skeleton is done and will share it with us during the chalet. Ya! Dinner and Dance Chalet next week. Tuesday till Thursday. Lots of fun awaiting. And I hope it will not be too late to iron out the details. "Haha!" I really should entertain the girls...

11.32pm

On the train home. Just watched the "Final Destination 3". The plot is the same as the previous FDs. And it is as gruesome as well. Throughout the whole movie, although I shut my eyes on a number of times, I did finish watching most of the movie through my fingers. "Haha!" Come and think about it, after finish watching the movie, I think it was ok. Similar plot, just different ways of die-ing. One lesson that I learned from all these is, do not litter. It might case your death.

Actually most of my thoughts today are on my Dinner and Dance. Hope everything can go smoothly and things get done. There are still tones of things yet to be done. And now it is going into the critical stage. Details that need to be ironed out, plans and designs that need to be reviewed and confirmed, money that need to be spent, opinions that need to be consulted, approvals that need to get approved, things that need to be printed and lots of other things. There is little margin for error. I am still feeling quite optimistic about this whole event. I hope this Dinner and Dance can be successful. *fingers crossed* If yes, it will be my best TP graduating gift (maybe not graduating yet, but it will be my last major event).

Reaching Tampines in 2 in 5 minutes time. Hope I am in time to watch my cartoon. "Haha!" And I think this is the shortest entry yet. So I will be seeing you tomorrow Singapore. Good Night. Liangteh Out! :)
