Yoyoyo! So i'm elected bck into the blk comm as lvl 3 rep. hope the coming days will be as fun as during the interim days though things do get kinda busy n chaotic at times.... I dunno whether im joining too many comms lor so kinda worried now.........cos submitted application for VPU, Welfare and Insights.........and my senior just talked to me about Insights (he's the head) and it seems to me that if i were to take up a portfolio position things may get quite busy..........but i do enjoy writing n publishing stuff..........then at the same time the interim period in VPU has been fun too! I really enjoy editing vids and looking at the final product......its mentally, emotionally n physically gratifying haha! :) I submitted my sign-up form for welfare mainly becos my councillor is heading it but at this point of time i dunno whether being in 4 comms' gonna stress me out.......but den since im not heavily involved in sports i guess comms are the best place for me to acquire points (even though i dun need them lar). As i said be4 i dun wanna go bck to the days where i just keep to myself.........its already uni.....its time for a change.........so i wanna prove myself to MYSELF in many different areas.......already im getting to noe more ppl than i can ever imagine......n im getting involved in things i normally shy away from. I'm improving on my social skills.......i'm striving to get a balance in my studies n hall life n im seeing sum results........and most importantly at tis juncture i wanna prove to myself that i'm equally capable of acquiring that 40++ points to stay on in TH next year w/o compromising on my studies or staying on by depending on my "International Student" status..........!

There are many reasons for these aims.......but i guess its hard to explain if u have not gone thru them personally.........but these aims are very practical at the same time.......cos i still have to maintain my CAP to keep my scholarship and at the same time i wanna enjoy hall life to the maximum which is totally impossible if i choose to keep to myself again..........

Thanx to all the great ppl out there (ermmmm mostly in TH and TJ lar) that made me a better person than i used to be. :)

An old poem i wrote based on another poem........just felt like putting it out again............ :)

People often wonder
whether or not i care
The size of my hips, the style of my hair
They often overlook
The things that I share
I say
Take a look in my heart
Do you see what I see
Someone who doesn't give a damn
To who you think he should be
I'm a person
Phenomenally
Phenomenal person
That's me.

Shrouded in mystery,
keeping to himself
Is that guy alright?
Everyone doubts
Why doesn't he mix around with us
And join in the laughter and shouts
I say
It's only my first 3 months
I'm not too good with people
I lack the self-confidence
It's hard to make me sizzle
I'm a person
Phenomenally
Phenomenal person
That's me.

3 months later,
the ice starts to break
People start to ask, "What happened to that guy, you said?"
"Wasn't he someone.....Who came from the Stone-Age?"
I say
It's time that i really need
To break that fake facade
To reveal what's really beneath
All that masquerade
I'm a person
Phenomenally
Phenomenal person
That's me

So now it's really clear
why you often see
A boy who sticks to himself
quite abnormally
It's definitely not because
He's proud and unfriendly
I say
Go ahead and get acquainted
There's nothing much to lose
But when things do start to pick up
You're on a new friendship cruise!
'Cause he's a person
Phenomenally
Phenomenal person
That's him.

(Adapted from the poem "Phenomenal Woman" by Maya Angelou)

Dun be afraid to take that step.....seriously......i've taken it quite a number of times already..........and not once did i ever regretted my decision to take the path i normally shy away from.

Surprises.......life's full of it.......dats true.......but sumtimes u really gotta go n find them.........then the surprises will come to you. :)

Cheerz!
