Yupp. Its OVER! :)
I cant believed that we had actually spend 4 months of planning for this OD event. Other comm perhaps only more involved only during the last 1 month. But the Log Ops Prog Comm really got involved throughout.For me i zuo-bo(do nothing) for 1 .5 months cos of House Comm and waiting for confirmation for concert.But i am very active for the last 2 months!=) Though the 2 main managers are the main ones always. hee.
Well, i would not said it was a resounding success. In terms of accomplishing the number of laps, we were VERY FAR from it. Only reached 33890 or 34890 out of 100000. Hopefully this can be advised for OD08 committee to set a more realistic target. Actually expected la. The participation rate.. no one goes after it. so is the blame on everybody or none?hmm.
I never SLEEP for 34 HOURS!! what a feat!! I think all the comm members plus teachers and SVC ppl went to sleep at least for a while. but i didnt at all! WOOTS! Either i am a superwoman or they are normal. hahaha.Quite amazed and puzzled that i could hang for that long! cos usually i get knock off when midnight hits! well done wl :DD heh.
Operations wise.. Ok la.. Can be better. The participations from jjc side from 1230am-4am was splendid. SO MANY COMPLETED 50 LAPS for the gold medal!! Apologies to those who cant get on the spot..cos we seriously didnt expect that much to be able to do so!The info booth was redundant. Waste my effort and money for printing that much. The de-registration booth was very messy when TKSS came. Chaos. And Ms. R from my comm dunno how to brief the shift ppl properly. blah.
The counter and kiosk booth. Wonder if they gave out rubber bands properly. The TKSS students were clocking laps so easily. When jjc students had run/walked their life out. I SALUTE JJC STUDENTS FOR THEIR UTMOST ENDURANCE AND DETERMINATION! =)
The relay breaking part.. dear acjc didnt come. rahh. Nearly made the JC2 died. Almost all of them completed 50 laps earlier on. I contributed 4 or 5 laps to the record too! haha.. BUT. hey. during my last lap, why must you cheer at the last 50m? Not as if i cant hang on. I was perfectly fine,the least tired in the comm. And, i am a TRACKER,a RUNNER. You wont be tired if it is your passion. It made me look so stupid and weak when you did that. As if i cant hang on anymore. Then the JC2 also cheered. They were the ones who were truly tired okay. Get that right. I know thats a form of concern, but sorry, i found that irritating.
Hmm. Managed to gain a lot of experience and learn lessons out of organizing this event. It should be my first one excluding the House Comm Camp. but sad la. don think the teachers know me yet. boo. Nah.. not cos i want get grandiose testimonial.. I like to do backstage stuff.. but i do hope for some noticed for being unnoticed. ha. irony. eschew and decipher that abstract concept yourself ^^
i wanna be a leader. A TRUE LEADER.
but my face is giving me problem. lol .. i mean, the face i have is"you-owe-me-money". You know, when i was running around madly during the event, countless ppl asked if i were alright and" eh, don be so stressed leh" lol.. i were not la.. just that when i am tired/serious, that expression just come out lo.. lol reflex leh. cant change de ^^
i am so apologetic to xiaoxun la.. his band came,and there were like so few audiences?? utter sian man. but i seriously cant hear what they were singing.. lol.. dawn evelyn and the audience appeared to share the same view too.. hmm.. well, cos this was a case of different frequency. They will be good if they are performing for audiences that belong to their same group. ;) but thanks, xiaoxun! haha i still like to call him that. but the first thing that he said to me when we talked was" eh 你最近吃很多啊". rahhhh! lol..
suddenly rmb sth CRC said b4 to the leaders.. "those head-to-toe white ones. very easy to gain pride. so do those at bukit timah ones. but for us, we have got to earn it". hmmm true.. if i am still in njc, i will have a whole lot of different experience.. if i learn to fight there, it will still mostly be limited to acad aspect. however i believed no matter which school i am, there will still be a memorable experience in the end =)
Hmm.. leave TPY for jjc at 8. Then after tt went JP to eat. Actually i were quite reluctant to do so de.but luckily i did!!haha! cos saw him when leaving jp! :DD i thought he were looking and waving at yl & tl, but yl said he were actually doing that to me. he was smiling happily and pointing to a direction saying " qu4 ce4 suo3" hahahahah. yayyyy. wowow. Hmm.. lifted my night. lols. miss him working talking over phone with him la. Dude.. work hard for your As! =)
Last but not least, thanks all OD helpers and comm members! People support is the most vital aspect of event management! +) THANKS!
btw, i will stop posting till CTs are over. really gotta work for it now. till then, take care all :)

One of the conversations between the guy and his father revolved around the zenith of mankind's inventions. While the son blabbered on with materialistic stuff such as telephone, television et ce-tera, his father stopped him and said, "It's words. Poetry."
Inventions may release the pain and the hustle of daily work. These days we have Ipod, Uzap, iTouch and other machines and mechanisms. Cool effects these can conjure. With advancement in technology and healthcare, we live longer and lead an easier life. However, we often overlook simple, rudimentary inventions like words which also affect us very much. Words, simple words, which can be strung together to form something far more greater and impactful, release the sufferings and ease the pain in our hearts. They convey thoughts and feelings to actions. Words are simply magical. Poems, speeches and songs. Most of them can't do without words and they are some things we can hardly forget.
--- Heheh isn't that paragraph above impressive? NAH but not by me! I wish~~ by idol Tlorrr. hahas ^^ I hope he does not discover someone actually copy paste his blog entry +)
2nd week gone past already. I failed terribly in meeting my targets. Initially i had aimed to finish all my homework by end of 2nd week, so as to do revision for remaining weeks. However it is an impossible task now. Haix.. I shall mug real hard in library with ah baO for some days..

happy birthday!
Friday, June 1, 2007
first of all.. HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY to my dearest gal- pingting!!! i am very sorry that i forgot to countdown.. ><>< really hope to cya soon!!and hope your wishes will come true =)
track trng today..so many people were late.. honestly,the team is quite ill-disciplined. Punctuality is not a virtue that is being emphasized. i think thomas will shout even more vulgarities at the state of this track team. lol.. striding was alright.. but only completed 3 laps due to a sudden downpour. we proceed to do a special training- pull tire and run. lol.. quite fun.. thou i did if do excessively, will spoilt your kidney =x hee. a guy made a very funny statement. "by the rate we are going,next week we are going to pull a car. further then, we will be going changi airport to train. pull aeroplane!" haha.. but i am experiencing irritaing muscle pain.. haii.
after that went je lib to borrow tapes for PW and then later proceed to CSS to take my cert. did not get to see much teachers.. only waved to Chng. haha. saw mr Leong..but just a brief glance.. btw mrs teo car plate no. is 2823. haha. just a random news. miss css lar.. think this is a phrase all people go thru.. missing their sec sch and longing the past. the easygoing days.. back then you will find your days much suffocated.. but to the You now, it is nothing.. cant compare at all.. i like css feeling.. so much so that i wanna go back as a teacher in the future.. but i dunno what to teach.. and i don want to bring harm to my students.. teacher is a noble job.. thou i dunno why some irresponsible ppl are undertaking this position now,roaming around causing harm,dampening students' passion for school.
saw some juniors..all asked why i go jj w 10.. i know there are a lot of better ones who are in jj currently. but maybe you guys are excelling now..so its alright.BUT. I AM NOT. i am not a clever person, so i need good resources to bring out the whatever little potential.and there isnt much here. except a very cool teacher who has excellent leadership qualities. but i am not working with him in any aspect. juniors asked..why didnt go ac.. i told them i sort of regretted my choice of not putting ac as 2nd choice. NOT THAT jj is not good. but.. i just wanna get into a better jc! 'A's are crucial alright... actually i have another regret(yesyes i have alot of regrets in life). not choosing the poly route. but just that i dunno what industry to enter.. business hotel mgtmt banking finance etc..
had not done any work yet,cos was busy reading that hell thick book for PW. sickening. like i can understand. i proposed to clear all by 2nd week,so the another 2 weeks will be for revision. but looks like it cannot be achieve.. rahh..
another thorn in the flash is od.. getting busier and trickier. the artist concert that i am supposed to be in charged is not on anymore..but there is still a smaller scale concert.but i am not i-c.. haii.. now in log comm..under marcus.. gotta tie up ALOT of operations issue.. which i DUNNO how to do!! haii.. ok la i admit i am a noob alright.. i dunno such stuff..! wanna pon the meeting tml laaa!! haii irresponsibility sinking in =(
sub-normal. thats what i am. i am smart. but that statement does not stand ANYMORE. it fade away together with my graduation from css. perhaps i will not feel this inferiority if i am in anglo or national. as in if i were in that 2 place,i will only experience acad inferiority. now i am feeling all kinds- acad,track,od,friends(will elab below).
high-achievers.elites. there are some people that i respect greatly. cos they are the kind of real smart. despite the very much busy schedule they had,MUCH MORE busy than mine. egs. joanne. she is one gal that will go very far in life. perhaps such common high expectations hold by everyone on her is giving her pressure. but the pressure keeps her going on too.(but gal,do take a breather yea?) Dr Khor. i will call u that in a few years time ya? +)
AllanT. thou i only know him as yl's friend, but he is doing extremely well in so many areas. acad,x-try,music. almost perfect. and he is cool and compose too. truly all-rounder. just like ac is .
fahmi. just get to know from siqi that he is still working at mac ev sunday!!wa.. some more he is from canoeing,a super hiong cca that most probably train 4/5 times a week. with such tight training and rigor acad, he can still manage! and i suppose doing well too! steady steady..
how bout me then?
i lacked the life skills to survive in this 21st century. i really dunno how to speak up. to me, i feeling that the ability to communicate your ideas across fluently and impressing upon others with your views or sharp observations is utterly vital. very essential. i am now still in a very much protected environment. once i leave this in a few years time and get thrown into the working society, i will feel the full blow of the impact. that can possibly rip me apart. yes.. the extreme extent.
why did i said friends above.. it is true that it is better not to work with your friends for PW. the relationship will turn sore. not every1 can tolerate my level of seriousness,strictness and my lack of understanding. cos i keep pressing people to get the job done b4 the deadline. i don wanna fall behind schedule,after the horrific memories of sec2 IPW,pia-ing all night just b4 the day of submission. i am sorry for my lack of understanding. but i hope sometimes you all can show some understanding to me too.... like sending me alone to nj to execute the survey. so what if i have many friends there. if that is the case ev1 just go to a jc by yourself which has your friends in to execute it. if you all can explain the rationale behind such arrangement, i will gladly accept it. but, no one offer a valid one. okay.. let begones be begones.(er did i spell correctly?lol) i hope no one will bear any grudge against me as i really would not do so too. i don wanna spoil a relationship just for a very useless PW.useless cos we will never use it and impractical.
one week almost gone. nothing done. i must get studies back on track,since i accumulate all my doubts during the term. i wanna mug..but still gotta read finish that bloody book. gee.
wanna go out with pingting soon leh. haii. alway a very happy and enjoyable trip with her =) perhaps some distance is a good thing too. wanna go out with yZ too yeh,my psy doc. hahas.
alright takkaire =)Labels: css, me.., OD, PW
