BIT has OUTPRO-ed!!
IN-PRO for ARTS CAMP now!!!!!! wooo hooo!!
----

Damn angry! >:(

There are a few types of people that bit really dislike:
1) people who are irresponsible, who can't and don't answer for their own actions
2) people who are escapists
3) people who tries to "act big" but are myopic, and their character (and esp character!!), temper, attitude, skills, are not there at all!
4) people who are emotionally selfish, who only cares about how they themselves feel (worst when these people tries to tell me how to "love" people!)
5) people who lie, esp breaking of promises!
6) people who mix emotions with work

I'm ok and perfectly fine if an individual meets 2-3 of the above-mentioned "qualities", seriously speaking, who doesn't lie? who isn't selfish at times? who's not egoistic?
BUT!! If you meet more than 3 of it, and esp 1) and 2) together, then so sorry, you're way up high on my condemn list!
NOTE: Bit seldom condemn people, if you're on Bit's List of Condemned People, you're really 了不起!

woots! favourite classic chinese song now is....

等等为你心有独钟
因为爱过才知情多浓
浓得发痛在心中 痛全是感动
我是真的真的与众不同 - simply love this line!! hahas
真正为你心有独钟
因为有你世界变不同
笑我太傻太蒙懂 或爱得太重
只为相信我自己
能永远对你情独钟
<<心有独钟>> by 陈晓东 !!

now i start to understand the helplessness of Sgt Djohan...
coz its really not easy to do staff work, to supervise, to learn, to guide, to coordinate at the same time, when you don't have an upper study to learn/ shadow from, and immediately they throw you into the water, expect you to swim...
BUT however, that's the best way to learn though, and only the strongest can survive throught this type of learning process, and emerge even stronger :)
-----
Ahh!! it was a good ICT! Though quite mentally stressful and tired coz I've to run between school and Tanjung Gul for both Arts Camp and ICT, it was a good meet-up session with my good old friends of 1SIR.
Hmm, on another note, I really hafta thank my S3 Maj Gary Chan, though he kiao-ed me lots and lots last time when I first entered 1SIR, but under him, I've really learnt alot alot about ops, which in a way affected my character, planning, thinking and organisational skills as well! :)
And he taught me the importance and skills of walking-around-on-the-ground, letting-people-know-you, thinking-5-steps-in-advance, taking-a-step-back etc, which many others think that its wayang-ing and slacking
I remembered he once said to me: "ah chuan! if you can stand my working style, you can strive in any circumstances next time!" Hope its true!
Not forgetting that he brought me to New Zealand! :)
Ah!! and Maj Ong too! from him I learnt that its ok if you dun have the looks (coz he's short! hurhur!), but you can still be the "man" when you're the one with the most knowledge! :) no one ever dare to say that he's wrong coz everyone knows that he reads alot alot..
And I remembered that for all the staff officers that I've seen, like my CO, S3 and S2, they can always joke around with each other when they're planning and obviously looking very stressed. And when the rest are working and fighting fires, they never seem to look worried, maybe that's the skill of "taking a step back" so that they can think several steps in advance.
Which is why sometimes people have the impression that the higher rank you get, the less work you need to do, which is totally wrong!

On a personal note,
it would be better if there had been some indicators along the way

uncertainty...
-----

some light of hope, with a tinge of sadness
-----

its tiring...
-----

you know it very well, don't you? then why do you... ... (dono how to put it in words)?!
-----

re-assessing, re-evaluating, re-thinking
-----

And its exactly 8 more days to Arts Camp! :D

Arrrrghs, yesterday my heart hurts a alot alot...
I always thought that I'm a rational person who can prioritise things and issues in life very well. I always thought that some things in life can wait for a while. Apparently, it isn't so...
A difference in priorities in life and lifestyle can actually cause such drastic changes
I'm not a very smart person, so I always thought that by working hard, I'll be appreciated; by working hard, I'll at least be reciprocated and rewarded for half of the effort I put in. So for those issues and people that I feel important to me, I'll put in 110% effort in it. For areas where I know I'm lacking in, I'll go consult others or read up. However, sometimes hardwork doesn't pay. :( hais...
BUT, I always believe that we create our own destiny, and not the other way round, and so I'll continue to put in more efforts.
-------
Some updates on Arts Camp:
Highest attendance in Pre-camp recorded - 85!
Total number of sign-ups in day 1 of registration- 116!!
So if you think you can still wait a while, and you definitely will get a place, you're wrong!! Places are going out fast!! So hurry!!
And admin has been going on smoothly so far! :)

Haha! To roomie, Jean and DZD! Your advice and support came just in time! Thank you!
-----

That's why sometimes I really feel that I'm quite blessed. Whenever I feel lonely or helpless, there will always be someone or some people out there to give me support or advice.
I think its more so because I have an open heart? Hee, think that's what makes me more appreciative of the little things people do and complain less. :)
Anyway, complain doesn't really help, especially when its times of crisis and you need to stand tall to give others the assurance. :)
And there's a difference between senseless ranting, persistent nagging, venting of anger, angsty complaints and positive feedback. Though they may sometimes sound the same and the words used may be similar, but its the attitude, tone and thinking that make the biggest differences between them.

Haiyos, don't you understand?! Can't you see?!
-----
All the while I know what I want. What about you?
-----

Kaos! I'm doing something that I never thought I'll do!
My sis forced me to read it, so....
Taa-dah! Here I am reading on Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus!!!
Quite an interesting book though... :p
Definitely better than proposals, guidelines, AARs, Constitution, Coursepacks, AGM reports!
Feels like a student again! Heh...

one year plus being an OCR student associate, this post shall talk about...
10 good reasons of being an OCR student associate:
1) great exposure to the corporate world, up your resume as well!
2) great exposure to the people from different cultures.Now, before every campus tour, I'll make extra effort to google about the delegates' homeland culture, history and the university's heritage, so that I can relate to them better as well :)
3) teaches you to be brave and confident in front of strangers, esp those from other countries.
4) let you know more about NUS
5) good pay!! 8 bucks per hour leys!
6) flexible working hours, esp for those in events management section like me, our working hours are ad-hoc basis one!! wooots!
7) you get to eat good food, esp during major school functions like University Awards and Commencement!
8) you get to see and sometimes even talk to prominent people up front!
9) get to wear nice nice!!
10) get to go to different places where normal NUS and FASS students might not get the chance to visit, like Istana, University Hall Vista, Bukit Timah Campus etc!
-----

Did a campus tour today and went to Bukit Timah Campus. Wah! it's damn steady lahs! everywhere is air-con, quiet, and sofas everywhere for you to study and read!!
(new place to study for exam next sem!)

Went back for S3 + S2 branch meeting last Saturday.
Was quite amazed by myself that I actually still remember quite a lot of ops stuff! hahas
This shows one thing: the best way to learn is through hardships.

Planning for Arts Camp... Ongoing, and getting more exciting! :)

"The Phoenix is a supernatural creature, living for 1000 years. Once that time is over, it builds its own funeral pyre, and throws itself into the flames. As it dies, it is reborn anew, and rises from the ashes to live another 1000 years. Alternatively, it lays an egg in the burning coals of the fire which hatches into a new Phoenix, and the life cycle repeats."
------

All along, I thought there are 3 major obstacles
Now I realised the fourth, maybe even the fifth, sixth, seventh....
Daunting it may be, but I'll carry on the quest!

ambiguous blog post saves not only yourself, but protects others as well.
think about it :)

coz the world is never just about one person

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue & grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch trees & daffodils,
Catch breeze & winter chills,
In colors on snowy linen land.

I am the one star that keeps burning, so brightly
It is the last light, to fade into the rising sun
