SIP Day 70:

11.15pm

A couple of things happened for the past few days. Had quite a lot of meetings, work, leadership training camp, BR screening party at Nic's etc.

Went for bowling today. There was a CSC event just now.

LTC was fun. The process allow me to have some rediscovery why I had decided to run. Kind of rekindled. *wonders* Did dragon boating. Now my whole back and thighs are aching. After the bowling, my arms are also aching now. *sad* We even did field cooking! Cool. Can see the picture. It is when we are more or less done eating. *grins*

Too caught up with people chatting with me on MSN...

Went for the BR screening party yesterday. Got lost while en route there. So silly. Been there a couple of times before, still so blur. *grins* Was quite cool. Very crowded. Met up with a lot of people. Had fun. Saw my plushie. "Argh!" So freaky. *shivers* Can see my picture!

Helped out in packing of goodie bag for NDD. Did 2000 bags in 3 hours. According to the "old birds", we are very fast. *grins*

Thank you everyone for your concern. I am getting better if not yet recover. Sook! Very sorry. Could not turn up for your birthday dinner. Make it up to you next time ba.

Good Night Singapore.

11.59pm

Not feeling very good. Lots of things on my mind. Met Ah Boi today. Had a talk with each other. I really need a rest...

Anyway BR is going very well. Going to have quite a number of screening coming up. Quite cool. It is one of the few happy things that I have nowadays. And happy things are getting lesser and lesser...

Cannot seem to do the things that really matters. A lot of work to be done...

16 more days to the end of my SIP...

Really need a rest... and maybe a hug... from anyone...

Going to get some more needed physical rest...

Good Night everyone...

SIP Day 59:

11.59pm

Today was a very busy day. Had 2 meetings today. NDD is more or less settled. Getting busy with the Blog Project. Was busy with SU for the better part of the day. And PF too. This week is a very packed week. Have 8 meetings scheduled for this week and for now, next week already schedule 3, Leadership Training Camp and more coming! *sigh*

I agree that my SIP is very exciting. But I am starting to feel I cannot breathe. Too many things to do, too little time. But it was my choice. I got to live with it. *bitter laugh*grins*

Anyway, last Sunday, had the EPG day. Emcee-ed for the event. The weather was a killer. So damm hot! *grins* There was a mock bomb blast. Quite cool. The event was all over the papers. Straight after the event, rushed all the way to Kallang for a family dinner. Was a bit late. Saw my baby niece! So cute!!! *grins widely* I love babies! How I wish I have my own kids. *wonders*grins*

Had 2 meeting on Saturday. The ExCo in the meeting. And the new ExCo in the afternoon. The attendance for the old ExCo was surprising. It was better than expected. *grins* There 13th seat and the internal voting was settled. From now on there are a lot things to be done. For now, tentatively, the whole of August is filled up. So watch out for Students' Union event soon!

Yes! Thank you Ah Guang! I know you helped me a lot. Thanks! *huGs* "Haha!"

Picture of the Day is of a candid shot of my baby niece! So cute right?! *grins widely*

Good Night Singapore! *waves*

Went shopping today! So happy! Got a blazer and a top! *grins* Still looking for a decent bag and a pair of nice looking shoes. *winks*

Having 2 meetings soon. Tomorrow going to have my hair trimmed. Going to resume filming soon. *grins* Could not wait. "Haha!"

Paid back a day for work. Left 3 more days to clear. *grins*

Good Night Singapore! So happy today. *grins* Picture of the Day is the venue of the NDD. At Chongzheng Yumin Primary School.

SIP Day 56:

11.35pm

Compare to the past few days, today was a very relaxing day. Yesterday, I did a presentation to Mr. Mah and to the CCC, with regards to the PAssion Card.

I nicknamed myself as the "Multi-purpose Intern". *grins* I have done tickets, posters, banners, sell membership cards, attend meetings, socialise, plan events, liaise with people, and going to be emcee for an event this coming sunday. *grins*

I am getting fat! So true when working in a office. "Argh!" I do not like it...

Today, TP's Corporate Communication called and asked me to go for a photoshoot. And INT School wants to do up a profile of me too. Cool. *grins*

There is a burning question that everyone is asking. "Why did my jaw drop at the last part of the 3rd webisode?" Guess what is my answer. "Carry on watching!" *grins*

Today's Picture of the Day is a bit down the memory lane. It is a picture of Production Crew with the cast of Light Years during TP Open House '04. I am arrowed!

Cheers! Good Night Singapore! *winks

July 8th & 9th, 2006.

2.01pm

On bus 23. On my way to Suntec City. Going to meet Wen Han and play Magic. It had been a darn long time since I had played. I missed the most exciting block since Urza Saga. "Argh!" Some people may think that it is very childish to play such games. But all my avid readers will know what my life is about. Playing Magic is one of the rare times which I truly relax from work and shut myself from the outside world. It is an indulgence which I feel I need and should be having. So happy and looking forward to it later. *smiles*

There are a lot of things which I want to blog about these past few days. But when I get home, all I can manage is to bath and crawl to bed. It had been a hell of a election for the past week. First, I would like to congratulate all who had got elected. There are namely: Terence, Tat Ming, Sarah, Yee Ping, Soon Poh, Wei Sheng, Clifton, Jodin, Yiling, Yuting, Yi Jia and me. 12 members because there is a tie this year, again. Last year, it had been between Rajes and Yao Ming. Both of them got 181 votes. This year, it is between Glenda and Elene. Both of them got 194 votes. As per tradition, both of them will have to garner for votes for the internal polling by the 12 elected members. On the average, we had a very well done participated election this year. In total, there were more than 10,000 votes casted. Barely.That will be the word I would use to describe my win over Terence. I only won by 20 votes. That is a very slight margin. Yes. I got the Presidency. A VERY BIG THANK YOU! to everyone who had voted for me and to all who participated in voting for the Student Elections. So many people asked me about it. It even went to Mr Mah's ears. He congratulated me and asked me to share my campaigning strategy. *grins* "So no need!" "Haha!"

I would like to express some of my thoughts with regards to why I decided to run for Students' Union again. A lot of people know that my past year of commitment to Students' Union was not a bed of roses. Some of the people heard me whining and complaining. Why would a year 4 student stand up for elections again? By the way, my fingers are freezing. *grins* Going to change to bus 133 soon. Anyway, there were a great percentage of people who asked me to quit the Union if I did not manage to get the Presidency. It will be kind of bad for my image. It will be embarrassing. I am ashamed to say that, the thought actually crossed my mind. As I was the Vice President last year, the only way is to move up. But as the time went nearer to the end of the elections, I made up my mind not to quit just because I did not get the Presidency. It is for the students. I am doing all this for the students.

Alighting...

8.58pm

On bus 518. Continuing my entry. Had a great time. For the past 5 hours, nothing was in my mind except to find a way to beat my opponent. For me the feeling of playing Magic is like being a monk in chanting in a temple. Not too bad. Had 3-1 score. Considering I had 2 bad draws in the first game and the length of time since my last play. This new set, Coldsnap, is alright for me to play as it is something like a subset of Ice Age. So as a old school player, it is alright.

On the way to T.Y.S.E's 21st birthday BBQ. Situated at Downtown. So not too bad. It is near my house anyway. T.Y.S.E = The Yellow Salted Egg. *grins* Actually it means Tan Yong Sheng Eugene. My classmate since year 1. Cool fellow. Also like to scratch his stomach. So cute. *grins widely.* He is quite a good pool player and a darn good archer. No. It is true. Archer. *grins* He is in TP's archery team.

Reaching Downtown soon.

Today's PF meeting was alright. The attendance was alright too, although I hope to see more people each week. Until now, PF 2006 Subtheme 1 is still the most happening, compare to the others. Everyone is great! *grins*

Alighting...

July 9th, 2006.

9.01am

In the office. Very sad. Could not wake up for Germany's match. "Argh!" And I promise to wake my friend and watch together while chatting on the phone. "Argh!" So sorry! *Sad* Anyway, I heard Germany won 3-1 against Portugal. Yeah! Kudos to Germany! So cool.

I think it is something very serious for me to continue to blog what I wanted to blog in 2 entries. I think there must be something terribly wrong. I can only blog on bus and during office hours. And now the time in office are also filling up, work are piling up as high as my table can contain. Terrible. *shakes head* There are a lot of things which I wish to blog about but when the time comes, I am too tired to do it. "Argh!" On top of all this, I will need to write entries on to the ESIP. "Cannot just read my blog ar?" *grins* I missed a couple of weeks of entries. Hope I am not penalize for all it.

Just to highlight some of the things that had happened for the past week:
Tuesday Ivan treated me to Cafe Cartel.
Had a off day on Thursday to go school for campaigning. I think it save my Presidency. *grins* Thank you Ivan! And everyone in the office! For the past few days, I was unable to do any work. I was very worried. All along I seriously thought Terence got a higher chance of clinching the Presidency. I was not wrong. I only won by 20 votes. All the people, especially Mdm Koh, Cik Fatimah, Mdm Pang, Ivan, Steven, Dorothy, John, and of course Hadijah, had to tolerate my jumping about, moody state for the past few days. I am so sorry about it. I will make it up to you all. I am planning some sort of farewell present for everyone! Cool right? How sweet of me... *grins*

10.18am

Just came back from breakfast.
Continuing...
Friday had seen a heart stopping, face melting, blood rushing, toes freezing, lips drying, eye watering and strangely there was this particular silence in the mist of all the cheering and talking of so many excited voices. When my name was called, my heart skipped a beat. I had got 400 plus votes. Whatever was the rest of the number after 400, was lost in the uproar of cheers, applause and cat calls. (It was until later did I know I had got 411 votes.) When Terence's total number of votes polled was announced, I felt my heart skipped a beat for the second time in a short time frame of 15 minutes. The feeling is more gut wrenching than the first time I did the tower jump for scuba diving selection!

5.12pm

"Argh!" Lots of things to do. So little time. Having PAssion Card Drive these 2 weeks. Anyone who wishes to buy, please look for me. Having at least 7 official meetings next week. Some of which are back to back ones. Sadly, I will not be able to go to PF Facilitators Meeting this coming Saturday. Going to have 1 presentation to Mr Mah and the other to Mr Sin. All in one week.

Tonight is going to be the World Cup Finals. Still contemplating who should I bet on. Thinking of Italy... *wonders*

Played Pickleball today. Lost to Hadijah. *sad*grins*

Have some credits to do...:
Thank you everyone for all the support! And showing so much faith in me.
Thank you Sook for the time we spent together for elections.
Thank you Siyun and Joanna for convincing people who do not know me to vote for me. I know it was very difficult for Year 1s who do not know anything.
Thank you Michelle, Fishy and Serene for doing so much background work for Sook and me.
Thank you Darren for offering to help.
Thank you Huan Yang and Ressa for publicizing to Dance Ensemble during their AGM.

Thank you Wen Han for informing me to go and play Magic.
Thank you Dr. Lim for writing my recommendation letter.
Thank you everyone for the hell of exciting elections.
Thank you Yu Lan and Mingzhu for helping me to sell PAssion Card.

Congrats to Jason and Hazel for getting reelected into RPSU's Students' Union. Especially Jason as he got the Presidency. I must say TE YEC is quite some kind of power house. We have 2 Polytechnic's Students' Union Presidents as members.
Congrats to milo_dino for getting into NUS and I can see that he is enjoy so much there that he cannot wait to start school!
Congrats to all my friends who had successfully graduated, gotten into Universities, found jobs, etc.
Congrats to Ah Boi, for the new found love. *grins*

I really should get back to work. Ending working in 15 minutes. Should finish up some stuff. NDD is getting on fine. Just need to work hard on sponsorship. Still short of some cash sponsorships. Other than that, everything is more or less on track.

Anyway BR's 3rd webisode is up already! Cool! So funny! For those who had forgotten the webby or had not visited it. It is www.becomingroyston.com It is a must go. Please give it a view. It is mind blowing! "Wow!" Today's entry is full of all this phases. So steady! *grins*

9.46pm

I love to watch shows that make me "feel" at the end of the show. Watched "Honey" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". Cool. The ending part of "Honey" was quite touching. Everyone got to do what they like and everyone in the community accepted and understood what they are doing and what they are trying to tell them.

Going to get some sleep. Watching the Finals later. Hope who win? *wonders*

Good Night Singapore! Picture of the day is the Rosli's kid. One of the member of MAEC. So cute right?! He messed up my office and fell asleep straight after. *grins*

SIP Day 48:

8.36am

Argh! It had been a week since my last entry. No. I am not dead. Yes. I am still alive. I had a lot of inspiration to blog for the past few days. But I cannot write anything now. "Writer's Block" or is it "Writer's Blog"? "Haha" It had been 7 days since my last entry. "Woah" :(

11.59pm

Just back from the weekly MPS. Everyone had sat around and had a chit chat session. It was fun. Ivan was asking me how do I find MPS. I told him I get to know people's problem, how to solve them and that makes me happy. It is true. Some people may think that it is for the gratitude people give and so on so fro, for me I will be happy when I can be of help to people. Mr Mah brought up the topic of smokers. Do not mind smokers as if they die, its their problem. But girls who smoke are just not my type. And everyone is quite curious on blogging. For the past few days, had been trying to explain to people its concept. Quite interesting. Got to know a few new people. Karen, Eric and others who are coming regularly. Great to see them. :) Had fun discussing World Cup too! Maybe the only chance for Singapore to play in World Cup is to host it! Which is a higher possibility compared to qualifying. *grins*

For all those who still do not know, I am running for Students' Union this year! Yes. Again. *grins* So please vote for me. The process of campaigning is very exciting. So cool. Get to see all the different ways and methods of campaigning. All the funky posters. No matter how ineffective or effective the methods, there are still people doing it year by year. As I also ran for elections last year, some people counted me as a veteran. Actually its quite true. *grins* There are 33 candidates for Students' Union this year! I cannot believe it!. 33 people contesting for 13 seats. Last year there were only 24 candidates. I was told that my use of A0 posters with very nice designs were very good campaigning tactic. Mine is bigger then others. And very much nicer. Even if people who did not know me, voted! So happy! This year I am using a different method, due to the amount of people contesting, there are no place to put up posters. So I had the idea of printing postcards of my poster and putting them at all the canteen stalls! *grins* Stroke of genius? "Haha!" Hope to win the election this year. *fingers crossed* I am so touched by all the people who expressed their support. :) I have so many plans for Union. Your Welfare is My Concern. "Haha!"

Left nearly one and a half months to the end of my attachment. Actually I had learned a lot for the past few months. Got into YEC and now a intern at the CC, got to know a lot of grassroots leaders. Quite interesting. Got to see how full time working adults do volunteering work. Different committee require different ways of handling things. I really learned a lot of things where I feel people my age will not get to experience. If I can work with grassroots I can work anywhere. There was what I was told by a lot of people. Maybe I can stay on to get my 5 year service award?! *grins*

So many things to write, so little time. Hadijah changed her desk place to inside, beside Christopher. So sad. But heard there is a new officer coming in. *grins* So many things to do this week! And the next. And the next. And forever. "Argh!" NDD, PAssion Card, Blogging and not to mention campaigning for election and BR is going to continue filming for 4 more days next 2 weeks. So happy! I love acting! *grins* Ok! Going to sleep now! Need to wake up early for to go back school for doing up some posters stuff.

Picture of the Day is guess what? Me! Taken using Noir Noir, Sook's MacBook's ISight. Cool. *grins* I look so ugly.

Good Night Singapore! I need the sleep. *grins* And my favourite Japanese star's new TV series is on screen on SCV Channel 56 again! Slow Dance. Hirosue Ryoko! So pretty! Dream girl! Too bad she got married some time back. Wish her all the best anyway! :) My elections posters are up too!

June 25th, 2006.

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*

June 23th, 2006.

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! :)

June 22th, 2006.

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!

June 14th, 2006.

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.

June 13th, 2006.

In the end, guess what? Sylvia fell asleep again. Yes. It is true. *grins* Soon after, Sylvia sent us home. But Ah Boi was going to have gastric. I was hungry too. So we went to Geylang for dim sum. It was very nice!

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?

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! 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*
