Idealistic, you work for the greater good with a good deal of inner strength and charisma. An extremely capable organizer, but likely to paint with broad strokes rather than detail. You are very aware and intuitive. You are subject to a good deal of nervous tension.

How Normal Are You?

To NJC 37th Student Council

First we started as nothing;
then we came up with something;
now we are going to leave with everything!

Yep, indeed we started out with nothing. Not even a name. We were the "New Student Leadership Body (NSLB)", combining Council with House Reps. I still remember the morning meetings we had, just to discuss our new name, new identity. There were PULSE, and others... Then came voting. Sure, we knew that our seniors from the 6th House Representatives were gonna be pretty sad when they got to find out that we retained being "Student Council". But I hope they understand that we had no intention to diminish them of any sort. In fact, each and every councillor see ourselves as member of the 37th Student Council AND a house member. I've seen everyone been devoted to our own house and participating in events together, without the previous barrier of 'im in council, u're in house reps'. Really, we were SIX HOUSES but also ONE NJC COUNCIL.
Now thinking back, i indeed have many sweet and wonderful times spent during my council term. So many that i really cant list them down. There were all those staying backs, rehearsals, being involved in this&that, meetings (be it early in the morn or late at nite). The most memorable one is probably the one kenny specially timed it at 7pm so that everyone can attend (of which sadly, it didnt happen) and just talk. It was simple, but sweet. Enjoyable. Saw a shooting star. Made my whole night so magical.
37th, we had accomplished much. Just as our song goes, we can hold our heads held high.

Thou we may face times of conflicts..
Of cos, there were times i felt down and disppointed. Some may not have noticed, but im glad for those who had. I will always remember julito being there for me during the Parents-Teachers meeting even though i refused to tell him what's wrong. Thanks so much for being so sensitive. Also, I truly appreciate shu hui for her care & concern during one of our FbU pubstunt. I was very upset over my chem s. Even though i said nothing, she sensed my quietness/oddness. Tried to console me. Thank you!! ((:

to meatlovers (you kai, pradeep, jonathan, brent, johannes, si hui, amanda, michelle)
My elects camp group mates!! =) Man, elects camp was the toughest camp i've been to (until YLTC, that is ;p ) Thanks to everyone who had been there to support me, sarcrifised for the group. Even though we may not always be the most rah-rah team (yea, i've forgotten our cheers already =p), but i'l nv forget we were the FIRST for that handicapped game. Waited for the other groups at the track for sooooo long! But we didnt waste those times. We talked, we looked at stars, we shared those precious moments!
And of cos, our group has one of the most exco!
You Kai - Ignis House Cap
Si Hui - Aqua House Cap
Amanda - Lignum House Cap
Pradeep - FbU Head
Brent - Hon. Sec.

to kampong enous (councillors include brent, anup, estelle, si hui, emmiline, michelle, sui hang)
YLTC was the toughest of the toughest camp i've been to!!!! Of cos, my deepest gratitude goes out to everyone in kampong enous. Won't forget the times we met to discuss about camp stuff and our duty for morn PT. And during the camp, how we looked out for one another, giving encouragements for those doing the elements, the hard times at the sea during dragon boating and the most adventurous time i've spent in sentosa (.. in the middle of the night!). Then my back have to ache -_-"" reali sorry to have brought some trouble to the group cos i couldnt run... But everyone didnt mind it. Even showered me with love! THANKS =)

to 7th Feedback [FbU] (pradeep, emmiline, jun xian, marco, michael, shaun, christopher, shu hui, praseetha, soon kit, rachael, sangeetha, our dearest angel: diana!!!!)
BA GA LIAO... we did, man! Collecting feedbacks, convincing the admin to upgrade the school, thinking of more ways to improve students' welfare & school spirit (wadeva happened to our nj mechanise?), doing pubstunts... Then there were those last-minute-totally-uncalled-for dialouge sessions, sudden-changed CCA leaders dialouge sessions, urgently-required pubstunts, turned-away OGLs selection interview (still amazed at our determination of staying put & refusing to leave the room =D), greatly-shortened OGL training workshop (well, it was supposed to be a camp... ... -_-). hAhAz... we seriously sabbed everything to do! And then we were the noisest comm... Even stayed united for halloween cos we were the FBU --> Food & Beverage Unit! HAHA... And i most definitely wont forget the pubstunt where i was 'many'... so 37th, u guys all came in as me cos our song goes "we, came as many"... ah ha!
Special thanks to boss! FbU wouldnt be the same without you! If you werent so enthu, fun-loving, pushed us all the way, we wouldnt have become BGL! From the bottom of all our hearts, T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U B-O-S-S!!!! U've made every feedbackers not regretting being an f'er. ;)
special thanks to di!!! For being such a nice & devoted FbU angel. Always attending meetings, helping us pass down msgs, act as sec when we lost ours. AND ur contribution to 37th. Thanks for being ever so generous and not minding us occupying your house, TWICE! Thanks for the ice-cream too!! yUmmY!!!! *and dun worry, i wun blame u if u gonna take 10yrs to realise i've thank you =p*

to teachers' day comm (davina, richard, estelle, gerard, emmiline, silin, marco, perl han, sui hang)
wOw, we have so many ignis in teachers' day comm!! hAhAz... But it doesnt really matter, cos we r one anw. I still remember we started our first meeting after investiture rehearsal. Well, it wasnt an official one, but we started that early. Then i also wont forget that davina, our dear i/c, assigned me to write the script for the emcees on all day but my birthday! hA! well, i guess that's the sort of sacrify you have to make to be councillor. Not that i had anything on that day anyway... But im quite sad that my script wasnt used eventually... Oh yar, i also wont forget the audition we put up for those who wanted to perform for the teachers' day celebration concert. So fun to sit through audition! despite my opinions not taken...
speacial thanks to rich for not assigning me any duty cos of jap prelims paper! I even had to leave early, halfway through the concert i've some participation in organising!!! )= not that my results was anything satisfying either. So not worth it! But stiil, i appreciate it that richard understood my need & took initiative not to put me involve on that actual day. Thanks alot leech!! *_*

to halloween food comm (FbU [food&beverage unit =p] and sixun!!)
Yep. As i said earlier on, FbU changed from Feedback Unit to Food&Beverage Unit... hAhAz.. but as we were short of one I/C, sixun came over! :) welcome! haha... the most memorable thing was probably the huge spider we made out of newspaper&garbage bags and the pumpkins emmi carved! Well, my dessert sale wasnt very gd & the drinks went out a little tooooo fast, but still, overall, everyone who attended the NJC 1st Halloween party said it was FANTASTIC. That is just enough to push away the unpleasant stuff that happened.

to deStefano [aka ignis] (councillors include you kai, silin, davina, brenda, marco, beatrice, emmiline, praseetha, melvin, richard, keefe, kim ong)
Well well... This orientation really bond us together! Sure, we met with lots difficulties, from coming up with a good solid cheer to having a proper stylish walk-in to presenting a cool enjoyable skit. We faced problems, last-min obstacles, but i really have to say, we've made it through! I still do like our cheer, our walk-in (minus crazy sangee's singing maybe... hAhAz... cannot... muz congratulate her for being having the courage to learn chinese song to sing), our coke skit.
Special thanks to 05S14 ogls (brenda, keefe, matthew, yu cheng)
U made me belonging to s14 again! Wont forget the times when we discussed what to do to bring the class together, learning from each other the names of the j1s in s14.. =D Thanx for bringing back all the sweet memories i had of orientation!

to greeks seniors (wee chiew, ferleen, marco, shaun, hui yang, si xun, amanda, diana)
The elects camp grouping!!! Our last official project ): But im glad i got to be in this group as you all! Really enjoyed the hike trial and during the camp. Thanks to those who have showed concern to me when i got really upset with the greeks for the hike. Sorry for losing grip on myself. Then there was the discussion to rank the greeks. Haha... in e end, we all missed almost 20mins of lesson! (stoopid marco, must drop chem... made me run for chem pract myself! ><>
Special thanks to wee chiew for being ever-so-considerate. Even bought the ship & thought of the catchy phrase "The building blocks of council" Xin ku ni le!!! So happy to finally get a chance to work with you for elects camp. You are not as nice as i thought you are! Nope. You are NICER!! :)
Oh yar, thanks to di again! But not for forgetting you are in greeks (nvm lah. U've gotten your cold treatment as punishment liao...) but for loading the greeks halfway through the hike! Thanks for the food.

To those i have not had the chance to work with
Nvm. It was good enough that we belong to the same council. And it was already a blessing to know all of you guys. Do TAKE CARE!!!

I may not have been the most rahrah person, nor have i been sacrificing a lot for council, but i feel that i've already done my small minor part to the 37th SC, the portion i wanted to do when i joined.

I hope we shall all remember kenny's wish -- the gathering in 2015 :)

5 more days... ...

-oops! typed this long ago... but dunno y nv post... =p -

Today was invest rehearsal. Hmm... Didnt have to do much. Ay, seniors stepping down liao wad... Just walk in, take a seat on stage, walk down, hand over then sit in the hall (no longer on stage) and disappear forever... haha...

shall dedicate another entry for council term reflection later (:

anw, felt qt bad for the juniors. Sure, they still do not have that sense of urgency, that bond of unity; but shouldnt we, as seniors, give them advice and encouragement, instead of making noise to disturb like it was nobody's business? Yea, when they were listening to instructions, of cos we dont have to pay attention to it. But the least we could do was to lower our noise pollution so that they can get the correct info? It was as if we were there to have fun and heck care about the serious business the juniors were doing.

Sure, he isnt a v gd ic. But at least he is still e ic. Give him a chance, will y'all?
Dont ever judge a book by its cover.

Ooh... then after that, we went out for lunch. But kena cheated. =( was supposed to be ignis jts lah. in e end, juniors got meeting here & meeting there. NvM. Lookin 4ward to arrival of 30th may ;p
juniors! start saving money kkz... ^_^
Ai yah, going for lunch but must see lumch 1st... (-_-)"'
why do i always see him arh?? esp when go back sch on sat & going out aft that... eee.... dun wan!

So we went to eat at crystal jade la mian xiao long bao. wah... only had $7 lah! so could only pay for my noodles. Not even enough for anything else, including gst, service charge & the wet towels (30c!). Kind souls like melvin, wilson & ziwei treated me xiao long bao!!! yeah!! thanx guys! y'all are da best!!! =) but i still owe melvin $1.35 for gst+svc chg+wet towel. haha... ay, but in maths, we learnt to round down numbers less than 5 right? so now i owe you 5c kkz... =p

I love coke! hAhAz... or at least coke light... When i was penniless (serious!), they sent coals over winter (eng translation for 'xue zhong song tan' =p). See, they were giving out free coke lights along orchard (outside tangs actually) So nice! hahaz... zhu tot it was expired one lor... even went to check e date. But luckily it wasnt. Still taste ok lah. I like things sweet. (",)

Walk walk walk summore, the gang decided to buy ice cream. Venezia. Well, i was really penniless, so wanted to leave cos i cant bear to sit around watching others savouring that delicious creamy solid-liquid colloidal system (isit used lydat? haha). But they all very nice! Let me sit down and share their ice cream (they bought tub $14.50 thanks to brenda's suggestion. It was really more worthwhile!) Then not enough. So there came a second tub. hohoho... 2 tubs of ice cream in a day! (but mel, it was shared by 7, then 10 pple. so it wasnt two tubs ;p)
thanks alot to melvin&brenda, gerard&sharon, diana and wilson!!

One-way friendship. Do we need them?

Sometimes i wonder. Do you know what is gratitude? How do you feel about others sacrifising for you; others giving way to you? Do you ever reflect about your own doings and realise something you've done is really wrong? Or you just feel that others must give in to you? The world revolves around you huh?

You are just like 'jiang tai gong'. Sure, there are times you really used a bait and the fish got away. But there are times you didnt, and you dont expect fishes to end their lives for you, do you?
You ought to know the reason why your fishing pail is empty. But do you? You blame it on this, you blame it on that. I did place a bait what!? That's what you would said. But, do you do that all the times?
STOP pushing responsibilities around, alright?

Maybe he was right.
"你没有欠她，对吗？就好像我也没有欠她什么。。。"

-tired of giving and giving and giving and giving and giving and giving and giving and giving and giving... ... ...-
When i was there for you, did you feel anything at all?

you cherish your life. ... ... maybe i shld too...

哎。。。 人就是那么不知足。。。
如果样貌是一切的话，我拥有空白，而你却一触就是围绕你的空气。
如果关心存在的话，我已不再生存，而你却长生不老。
如果梦想能变事实的话，我是虚构的，而你却是实在的骨肉。

translation (hopefully it still sounds nice =p )
men are never satisfied.
If beauty is everything, then i have nothing, but you are surrounded by air (something)
If care is present, then i do not exist, but you shall live long ever after.
If dream can come true, then i am fiction, but you have the concrete flesh, body and mind.

-pls. ur life is so much better than mine. so dont complain. -

im not a puppet for you to oder around. i have my own mind and dignity.
STOP making fun of me, i warn u guys. Try it again and i promise i will fight back.
nah, maybe not fight.
i will attack and destroy.
mind you. i mean what i say. and you will regret what you've done.
一言既出，驷马难追
-this i promise you-

.

no i wont. ... ... will i?

if you cant get a bullseye, is it time for you to change to a new target??

我像是一片落叶 飘落在一条流动的河流，随浪漂泊。 周围的风景一直在变，我却依旧还是我。正当我开始习惯，喜欢上目前的景色，我所看到的那一幕却又再一次起了变化。我一次又一次的习惯，放开，适应。。。真希望有能够靠岸的一天。面对永不改变的一切。

彩虹会在雨后的天空出现，但当水分蒸发就消失。。。这一刻的美好或许短暂，却能记得更久。。。

主动地微笑，主动地握手，主动地祝福，也许已经是完美的结局了 ：）

只听过两次 却也哭了两次

《会有那么一天》 -- 林俊杰

一九四三 世界大战 阿嬷年轻的时候
爷爷爱他那么多 他们感情很深
但是爷爷身负重任 就在离乡的那夜给了阿嬷一个吻 轻声说到
我要离去 别再哭泣 不要伤心 请你相信我
要等待 我的爱 陪你永不离开
因为会有那么一天 我们牵着手在草原
听鸟儿歌唱的声音 听我说声 我爱你
夕阳西下 鸟儿回家 阿嬷躺 在病床上
呼吸有一点散漫 眼神却很温柔
看着爷爷湿透的眼 握着他粗糙的手 阿嬷的泪水开始流 轻声说道

actually i also dunno how i felt so strongly towards this song. The only other time i cried after listening to a song was to a song i just finished writing. [《孤独的伤悲》 posted early nov]
the weirder thing was that the first time i heard the song was at ard 11pm (yea, this song quite old liao but i had only recently heard it over the radio) and i cried. then ard 2am (yes, 3hrs later), 933 played it again! and yea, i cried again. hA... quite surprised at myself. hmm, but really think this song VERY SAD ):
-wonder if i'l cry again if i hear it again... -
