common orientation........

today, i finally finished all the major activities or Red Cross which i join actively. after this, for all other activities, i'll be still around but not as active as i used to be. now is the time for me to rest and let the new com do everything. the event went well, positive feedback from the participants. it was an enjoyable experience for me though.

did not sleep well for two nights preparing for the event..... kind of relieved now. i can start concentrating my school work which is piling up now. haha. something happened during the common orientation which actually crushed my hope. really... looking back at it, i think i deserve it. nevermind, now is not the time to complain but to face it and start living with it. i'll change where and when i should. dun wanna think about something which will depress me...

Dinner with Geri would be the most important agenda of all. this will take place on Tuesday night where we have some issues to hit out and discuss. hope that some good conclusion can be made from there for the better future of the chapter. looking forward to it!!!

a lovely girl......

i met this girl during the interview...... it took Dan 7 glasses of alcohol to make him happy the other day but it took me 10 minutes interview with this girl to be happy for the rest of my night and until now. haha. mine is much stronger than Dan's alcohol marathon!

I met her again to discuss about her job scope as the assistant secretary. We spent time together for about 2 hours discussing the job scope. haha. actually, it took merely half an hour to finish explaining her the job scope. after that, we were just chatting. we had a good chat. of course. every chat with a lovely girl is a good chat! haha. i came to know that we share a lot in common. so it's good for Red Cross. I believe she has the same passion for red cross.

After 2 hours of enjoyable conversation, she wanted to go back since her dad was about to pick her up. we were at arts canteen and her pick up point was at YIH. haha. so, we walked from Arts canteen to YIH. Even though most of the time i end up complaining coz of walking quite a distance but at that time, i was enjoying myself. haha. we must enjoy doing whatever we do so that we won't know the difficulties of the work. I had a great time chatting with her.

Today, i met her again at the socities area.... guess what! she fell in love with the blood bunny. haha. very cute.... haha. i think there are a lot of nice people out there. just that we need to take initiative to search. we'll never get disappointed in knowing people....

Busiest month in my whole life!!!

I've stepped down as the president of Red Cross NUS Chapter with pride. I have accomplished a lot of things when i was holding the top post. My team has organized a lot of activities and most of them were success. i think all of them were success except for one. but we did not lose the lesson. we'll improve...... Dr. Tan, the teacher advisor, read the testimonial he wrote for me. It was so nice until i almost dashed into tears. I did not expect it from him.

Now, I am the student advisor of my chapter. My friends asked me since i have stepped down, will i be joining actively in other socities. I told them, for the past two years, i have devoted all my time and energy for Red Cross. RC has been a part of me now. i can't neglect the chapter and simply join other socities. Can't do that. I will still be around helping my new committee for the coming year. Since the EXCO are all girls, i will have to teach them to be a rough at times. haha. well, they are girls..... hehe....

my team n i have organized/pre-planned all the activities in August. just not to stress the new com. My President is a lovely girl. She's the sweetest person ever i have encountered in my life. well, its a compliment for her. and she's friendly and funny as well. haha. she'll make a good leader. i have confidence in her.

basically, i have more work to do after stepping down. i must make sure the transition period (management changes hand during this period) to go on smoothly. i've been doing great in that, i guess. I have one more major stuffs to do. common orientation this weekend. then, i'll be a bit free. i can have sometime to myself, evaluating myself..... haha.... but before that, common orientation, here i come!

Feeling so tired.....

the semester is only two years old but i'm already tired. tired because of my own commitments. Red cross, etc. i've succesfully finished the red cross welcome tea last night and i would say we organized it quite well. the flow of the programme was smooth and we finished ahead of time. thats an achievement.

now, i'm busy with two things. i would say, two most important things for me. Flag day this Saturday and Common Orientation next week. I'm involved directly with these events and i must make sure everything is going on well. After that, i will take a big rest even though i'll still be around assisting my new president.

A lot of things to do in a short period of time. Sometimes, i feel i can't do it. but i have to do it. It's okay to work harder now and taking rest later rather than messing up everything from the start to the end. haha......

lets do one work at one time. lets go step by step. our job is to plan the step so that its not a wrong one. haha. so never give up. everything is meant to be.....

Red Cross......

I have been at the top post for a year. Red Cross Humanitarian Network (RCHN) NUS Chapter has been a part of my life now. It has been with me throughout the year. it has been a very good friend of mine whenever i needed a company, a good counselor whenever i needed advice and so on. I might be very busy doing red cross stuffs everyday, but doing something i enjoy is the best thing that could happen in my life!
Under red cross, i travelled to Palembang. Red Cross was the medium where i met a lot of people ranging from big shots to the disabled. wow, what a year. i had lots n lots of fun. meeting people and organizing stuffs. i did perform. i'm the student advisor of the chapter but i will not be that involved like i used to be. I will have to divert my concentration to my studies. I have different perspectives in my life now. education is not the only goal in my life. i have to settle other things first and to start off, i must have good education background. guess i already have. need some brushing up only.

firstly, i need to change my family's mentality. making them think wider. they are not to be blamed because they were raised in that condition and did not have any chance to explore the world. I have now and i need to pass the knowledge to them. then, i need to erase the pre-concious that others have on my family. looking down on my family and saying that we can never go far. i've come this far where none of them could. NUS is not a 'pray-pray' place. haha. i think i have silenced a lot of them but i don't think it's enough. i have higher goals in my life. and i will always live to my goals. and i will change my principles and myself if i have to. I will not lose my 'original' self by changing into a better person. If i have room to improve, i will. And if i can only change myself to improve, i will definitely change. life is all about changes to be more interesting..... i think i have my goals now......... haha..... at last i know what i'm doing and will be doing.......

goals, i'm on my way there... bear with me!

Are women cheap?????

Our mother, the best person for everyone, is a woman. Mother Teresa is a woman. Women are the ones who have patience if anything were to go the wrong way. I have lots of respect to the opposite sex of mine. Women are so needed in this world. for almost everything. However, there's one person, an idol for lots of people, is proving me wrong. If you all know, she is the Malaysian all-time superstar, top singer. I always wanted to blog about her and i guess this is the right time.

She has made the nation so proud. She has worked so hard till Malaysians are proud of her. We should be lucky to have her. This is only till before last July when she announced her marriage. Oh, Lord. Please tell me its a nightmare!! Not her marriage but to whom she's gonna get married. After all the sweat and tears she had shed, after all the effort she has put to be no. one artist in Malaysia for long time, she dashed them overnight. She is gonna get married to some old chap. y?

Well, its not correct for me to talk about her personal matters but she is an idol. everyone follows what she does. ganja. a guy just have to be rich and he can get anyone he wants???? So, in future, i just need to work hard till i'm 40++ and once i'm rich, i can get a woman in her twenties. Ganja. According to The Star paper, she was touched by the way the chap treats his children. Thats y she fell for him. If that's the case, she should marry my father, your father and lots of fathers. What is so special of one guy taking care of his children?? My dad raised us very well too. he poured all his love to us too. I bet most of the fathers do the same thing. Only that our fathers are a bit poorer. thats all. ganja.

She has been an idol for me for so long. now, i wash my hands over her. Y do people take this kind of decision. No idea!! It's ok to make mistakes but some will make regret for our life. so becareful. anyways, i wish her a happy married life. what more can i say. haha. she has all the rights to decide her life just like how i have all the rights to blog. haha.

define friends.........

"A friend in need is a friend indeed"! How true is that statement? you might not understand it till you have gone through hard times. We might think that friends are those who are together with us when we are having fun or when we are celebrating our birthdays. We might even be angry if the friend doesn't greet us when walking pass by us. Well, it's true but not completely true. Will the friends who shared your laughter be also there when u r in grieving tears? or will they actually lift you up when you 'fall down' badly? Now, if they will, they are the true friends. If they do not or will not, then they don't worth your friendship. Friends are the ones who share our happiness and also care when we are in pain.

To be a good friend, first we have to think about our behaviour. If you know you are not the person who will be there when your friends are in trouble, you might have to change your attitude. Some people think that if they change their attitudes, they'll lose their 'original' self. Well, to be honest, do you really wanna be like that. You are no better than a dancing doll. Even a dog will be sad if its master is not feeling well. So what's the purpose of you having friends. You are selfish, sorry to say. If there's room to improve, please do so even it would change your way of living. Back to friends, from thinking who are your friends, first think whether you are a good friend. that's important. will u be there when your friends need someone? or will you be caring enough to ask whether your friend is having problems or not? If you will, then u may think about your friends. If they don't, then they don't worth your friendship.

It's true that when we help our friends, we don't expect anything. if you do, then you are not an honest person. However, we do sometimes need help. We can expect something from our friends to help make things better. But if none of your friends appears, then no point shedding your tears. They just don't worth it. Keep going and of course you'll find true friends one day. Once you find them, you'll be always satisfied and relieved. Remember, no one worth your tears, and the one who is will not make you cry!!!!

Friendship forever.
