Woah!~ Wad a day!!~ We were short of manpower, with peeps comin in grps of 4-5 for TPSU sub-comm interviews. Never did we expect our candidates to ask us this question "describe urself in 10 words". Holy cows!!~ that was damn unexpected. We've had peeps frm AS, ENG, n' BUS. Most of them come frm Business. Go Business Go! You Go! We Go! Lols!~ It seems Social is a hot favourite, cos' most, if not all of them, chose to join Social department should they get into the sub-comm. Admin is dyin...tolong...tolong...tasuketekudasai!!~ jiu ming ar...
One thing goes without sayin... Terence n' I make a good team :) Good is juz the beginning, strive for excellence. :)

A leader is a cut above the rest, in the sense that he rises up above all politics and favouritisms. A good leader is someone who drinks coffee n' goes to the movies with his friends, yet is able to differentiate friendship from responsibilities. He can hang out and joke around with his subordinates, but when it comes to appraisal, he is able to be impartial. There is no such thing as the chairperson is the good guy, while the vice-chairperson is a bad guy, or vise versa. THEY are either good or bad. The commitee should have a common objective to work towards, and not let previous bad blood jeopardise the success of the project. Remember the pressure a leader has to bear, it's not just one pair of eyes observing, multiple pairs of eyes are looking at you under the microscope as if u'r a biological specimen at one time. Keep the doors open, never ever burn the bridge. Fate has the prank nature to play tricks on us, we'r most likely to cross paths with people we hate to the core some point in our lives. The reality is harsh, learn it the hard way. Once you know your way around things , it's easy to play the game by the name of office politics. Lastly, if u can't beat them, join them. Turn urself from a sore-eye position to a blue-eye position. Make friends with the inner circle, instead of feeling helpless being not the apple of the eye.
Some people just let their emotions take the better of them. Some people are just not mature enough to think in the propects of long-term working relationships. Some people just don't know how to let go. Some people just don't know when to relax.
For me, I'm alrite, coz I know I hav my bloggie as my channel of venting frustrations n' displeasures.

"No one is perfect. We are not like professionals. You cannot expect everyone to hit ur standards. If u still wanna continue being an perfectionist assh*le, den so be it. I mean, everybody has their own flaws, we r not saints. If u'r holy, den good. BUT, please dun try to Play God, it's detrimental to ur health. Pay more attention to ur surroundings, trust ur own judgment, n' try not to be influenced by others."

On a lighter note, I went to Queensway today, yay!~ However, the shopowner juz had to make my day bad. I waited for so long for an assistant to tend to me, instead my efforts were in vain. They can tell me they'r busy, when they'r actually bitchin' ard themselves, screw them lah!~
Next, I went to IKEA. OMG!~ isn't that Weisheng I saw at the IKEA Cafe?? Saw them last week at orchard road body shop near Scotts, this week same day saw them at IKEA Cafe. Even coincidental was that by chance, they were sitted right beside my n' my fren!~ Iyo~ they even tell me not to stalk them some more!~ It was funny, hahahha :):)
After that, went to Flesh Imp @ Plaza Sing'. Their service was good, I tot I wasn't allowed to try fitting the on discount t-shirts, but I was wrong. So I happily chose two from the discount racks, tried for size fit n' happily paid for what was worth the money. Next up, can't believe I did grocery shoppin at Carrefour Plaza Sing... sampled the cod liver paste. Damn sia~ they taste was aweful n' it lingered in my mouth, so much so tt I had to rinse my mouth with water...thank heavens the supermarket had those water stations around, if not...... :(:( In the end, I bought a light cheese cake n' cherry tomatoes home for snacks :)

If I'm ever gonna let off steam n' blow my top, u would have seen the worse of me, u oso would hav seen the last of me...
The above is not a threat, it's just a simple warning. Learn to read my face, if I ain't usual on that day, better not come piss me off. You'd know when I'm havin a bad day, by knowing my expression.
I clench my fist, grit my teeth, stamp my feet......signs tellin u to shoo, or else incur my wrath. What you see is what u get. U respect my mood, I'll respect ur temperaments too. If u'r smart n' know better than to make my day worse, u'r lucky, if not, den better be prepared for who knows what will happen.
Yes, I am serious in this blog entry. Perhaps I sounded too serious, but for the good of all, this is just a kind gesture of reminder.

Now on a more lighter mood, lemme tok abit on my trip to NYP yesterday. I stared in awe as I was greeted by the magnificent view of the water fountain the moment I walked through the school gates. I was amazed at their concourse/lobby whatever. The site was just so stunning and impactful. The canteen was so different. They had a scanner and the sides of the canteen were fenced, to prevent the invasion of the birds I guess. Their SAA office was so spacious, much bigger than our school's. Each SAO had their individual rooms for student consultancy. A pity was that I couldn't reveal my identity as I was there on the behalf of another constituent, and therefore we were told not to reveal our student identity. If not, I would have went to their SU n' introduce myself oredi. Well, dere's a reason behind everything, and a time and place for everything...I believe I will get a chance to revisit NYP, hopefully on official business.
This has been a financially unstable week for me, due to the many avenues for me to spent my dollars and cents on. I'm glad that everything was worth the effort. Even though I know myself that it's impossible, but I'm still contented with the consequences of my actions. At least the present was appreciated.
On an even lighter note, congratulations to Derrick n' Kelly for winning the revival round and getting into the semi-finals of the Channel U's Project Superstar.

Kelly Services. I'm lovin It!~ Nonono, this is not MacDonalds!~ I'm tokkin abt Kelly Services Career Centre!~ Today's attachement session has been nothing but fruitful. I made sales calls. Dude, I actually made sales calls!~ Can't believe it man, I really did call out to other companies to ask if they had any staffing needs!~
Hmmm~ 2 important birthdays coming up. 20 July & 3 Aug. Perhaps I should really show some gestures of my gentlemanhood?? Saying it is one thing, doing it is another. Procrastination...it's a abd habit of mine. It's either grab or slip. The decision is mine to make, not anyone else's. Hmmm~ we shall see how it goes...
Gosh!~ It's less than 24 hours to 20 July. My brains, please think faster, I need to act fast, I don't have the luxury of time!!!~

What I gotta do To make you love me What I gotta do to be heard What I gotta do when lightning strikes me Sorry seems to be the hardest word
It's sad so sad It's a sad sad situation And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad so sad Why can't we talk it over Sorry seems to be Sorry seems to be Sorry seems to be the hardest word
"Sorry seems to be the hardest word" by Blue feat. Elton John
I can see why I'm loathed so much. I can also see that I have limited attention span. Take today for example, I got annoyed pretty soon after shopping for 1 hour, cos' I find that we're shopping for the same thing over and over again.
I can also see that there are very few people capable to making me blow my top at them. It happens to be someone I know very well, and vise versa.
Boom!~ There goes my term break!~ 7 days gone in a whiff!~ Nothing done, tasks incompleted, duties unfulfilled, promises not kept...many many regrets. But as far as I'm concerned, life must go on. He who rides the tides controls the time. I shall manage my own time, for better or for worse.

I must be too free to post an entry here. Anywayzzz... it's ironic that the first time I part with my phone would oso be the last time I see my phone. It's even stranger when the phone was lost after it left me within 24 hour. It's even bizarre that it was found back again within the next 24 hours. Detective story...hmm...maybe...but this time, sorry u'r wrong, it's just that my dad misplaced the phone n' his fren took it home for him. Drunkards, wat u'd expect??!!~
I was so shocked to see u where I never expected to find u at. I was even more surprised that you were not alone. I was extremely delighted when I received a msg frm u!~!
Yes, I admit I am ezily distracted, & I confess that I hate such feelings of distraction when I'm supposed to be concentrating on something else, something else that was at that moment. The slightest thought of u distracts me from functioning as normal. Even while watching tv, that role in the show reminds me of u.
Should I let u know?? Should I not?? Must I always fail in what I do?? Must I let nature take its course??......
......Only time will tell

I was told to blog abt today, n' so... here it goes.
Well...I really enjoyed the springcleanin this afternoon. Wei Sen, Victor, Terence n' me were tasked with clearing the cupboards near the exco room stairsteps. We really had to crawl in to rummage the gargantuan amount of boxes n' carry them out, sort them accordingly n' reallocate space for them in the same cupboard. Surprisingly......the cupboards were cleaner den I expected, there were no cobwebs, no lizards' droppings, no roaches, no rats. Just that it was rather dusty. Wei Sen couldn't stand the dust, so much so that he had to cover his face with his shirt when we asked him to crawl in. Lol!~
At ard 6:50pm we began starting the fire for the main event for the day: The TPSU Ex-com BBQ!!~ I must say that once again Sahf impressed me with his systematic way of burning the charcoal, despite making his hands a mess. While doing so, Ah Guang joined us after he end his work in SIP. We were told that Andrew would be rather late, so we began the bbq thingie anyway.
Thanks everybody for doing the springcleaning, the "cleaned" SU lounge was really a spectacle to marvel at. Thanks Wei Sen n' Linggie for the bbq food n' stuff Thanks Kazumi for the fried rice Thanks Victor & Sahf for the many racist jokes, including "the well" story, n' the God "shave" me story, all were amusing n' entertaining.
One thing I wanna vent out is that some peeps juz kept destroyin the mood when Sahf was trying to tell us the "Sakura" ghost story. Iyozzz people, dun anyhow laugh la...n' Victor's "serious" expression was rather a novelty to us...hehe~~ Lastly, we ended the bbq with a so-called "class-photo" taking session. Posers we were, lamers we were, jokers we were, all for the sake of gettin caught in the camera.
Why am I afraid to show......?? Not my style? Dun wanna get mugged? Selfish? Guys, it's really just a matter of how well do u all think u know me.
