I cant believe it .. it ended in 3 days .. a year (almost) of hard work, planning, discussing .. and even quarrels and disputes, just finished in a matter of 3 days..

at least the event was successful !!! oh my gosh .. that's the best present I can ever get from SEE2, this feeling of success..

anyways I also get the meet friends whom I havent met for a while, Ali, Shiqi, Qiao Wei, heidi... and surprise surprise.. the iDA Ambassadors..
even though I didnt really talk to them ... at least seeing them once a while refreshes your memory of the pleasant times
(Katherine, Wei Jian ... didnt really change in appearance, but anyways who changes so much in a year?)

Qiao wei and heidi, didnt get to meet them after SEE2 last year, and heidi is omgawd.... ______ yet powerful, in terms of voice, linguistic abilities and so forth. qiaowei .. ahaha, still that smiling look...

well .. what else.. add it for meh plz !! =D

but seriously... other than some minor hiccups here and then .. I must congratulate everyone for this success!!!

I could see some people were bonded with each other.... even Group 4 !

Group 4 was initially the only group that wasnt really bonded.. but they really picked up, "and gave an inspiring presentation".
Group 2 was darn high, playing hangman and stuff zzzz Pyloric Sphincter
Group 1 even traded contacts on the first day !!!!
Group 3 gave a really good presentation with interesting ideas Good work!

then the games
wakakkakak BALLOOoOONNSSS BALLOOONSS!! loads and loads of balloons.
(although the Sec 1s went a bit too far in Day 2)

FLOUR FLOUR FLOURRRR loads and loads of gummy sweets

then came the uber game, oddities.. ahaha I still remember, so darn funny!
so near yet so far, some was this close, yet they didnt observe enough. I bet they were like WTH WTH WTH when they saw the "Behind the scenes" video today.

and lastly, waterbombs.... wooots a very innovative way of controlling the crowd, whistling. And somehow I felt we made the same number of balloons as last year?!?!
Nonetheless it was still darn fun, throwing at each other =D

HEIDI WAS LIKE ....... you know what.. hhahahahahaha star of the show!

and then there's the lu yang bondage, ok .. not so bondage, just rolling around in sand.. and you know what comes next... sand in everywhere.. oh welll... and he showcased some erm.... skin!

hehe

the games were really fun..
even though it was DARN TIRING to create them, but watching other ppl play also kind of make me high as well... you see the excitement and enjoyment.. like little kids XD

oh well I got to simmer down .. 3 days of fun, 3 days of work, 3 days of waking up at 5 am... 3 days of ... !!!!

3 CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am just tired
you know the meaning of tired?
you know what it feels like when you can just sleep? (oh no ASS)

+ my ankle seems to be screwed.. its like hurting ....

gosh


===========================

btw was just deciding on a new pic .. haha saw this pic .. really reminds me of loads of things...
things like .... friendship is not always a two-way thing...

yea .. did it in a few minutes (thanks for laggy com)

i am not like most of my friends.
sleeping at 4am and waking up at 6am without going wobbly out of bed is not my forte, instead that will force me into a deeper slumber when I wake up.

oh my.
my head is really spinning.
lucky the bath brought me back to reality.. by at least 80%.
I still sorely miss the cuddly pillow, blanket and mattress (yes I sleep on a mattress)

oh shit.. its 11am wth ? my alarm clock did not ring? or issit this huge sleeping bloke was totally oblivious to the inevitable ringing of an alarm clock. wow this is cool.
so if you want show the world that alarm clocks in fact dont work, sleep very late.

this is a real tough challenge, sleep late wake up early.. this resulted in random sleeping spells at anywhere I can get my a55 on. literally...
heard of Class 95. ASS = Afternoon Sleeping Syndrome, it seems that I got one, and I need things to get off my ASS (literally and metaphorically).
Give me a chair with cushion, something that I wont slip off. Then give me 10 minutes, and you get the most common sight you only see during night time.

coffee plox..!!

====================================================
The Real Thing by Bo Bice

Every word I say, I mean it
Every single day, I feel it

But sometimes when you talk
It's obvious you want to show it
So don't blow it

Chorus:
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot, tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hanging on

I can read the signs between us
I feel it inside when you come nearer
There's a stillness in the air like no one else is there
And every moment stays in the moment
Yeah

====================================================

Love the song, it has kind of summed up most of these feelings that I have been getting here and there, all these years.
I can chat, but whenever it comes to face to face... I get butterflies in my stomach and I just back away and be a loner. I can't seem to start conversations, yet others are able to just *snap* and everyone will start chatting and laughing... why?

argh..


Oh my god. Can you imagine I am gunna be an EMCEE for the upcoming conference?
Even though there's relatively lesser people, but its still an EMCEE! OMG OMG OMG... hahah at least I can do with someone else >> JOEL !! If I cannot even strike up conversations with friends, lest maintain one.. how about this?
But I shall take on the job, I gonna make SEE2 rock! YEA!!!

Ok, 2nd year of SEE2 IT Conference. This time held by us, and screwed by us as well. AH ... last minute work is always the same .. rushing and tiring .. oh wellz I need more sleep ahahahha

jia you OT OT OT =D


holiday is already 1 month gone and I havent done anything productive. oh well .. any suggestions?
I hope this is not the same as last time... time wasting

holy cow... this camp is zzzz

so many bad things to me.. wth?
maybe I am too careless, too carefree, too excited, too distracted

1) I got an embedded splinter in my foot (a small one) that cannot be taken out no matter how hard i try
2) My spectacles dropped on the ROAD from my pockets whilst I was running, and it got crushed by a care, literally.. crushed... a nice frame into a mangled piece of metal
3) Now my feet stinks alot.. zzz

aaahhhhhhh

my parents will pwn me man..

T3H H4NDS0M3 KEV1N

lolololololololololololololololoL!!!!111!!

meh 1sh t3h h4nds0me pwnj00 bw4h4h4h4h44h4h4h4h4h!!!111


lol.




PS: This is done by my good friend Libo (if you know him)

oh yea.. finding a job is ... hard?
especially when they do not call you, and when you try to look them up personally .. they arent there.. oh well

Haha, this experience is getting into me, at least I feel myself getting "braver" by the minute.

I cannot imagine, when we enter the working world, what would it be like?

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

During the holidays, instead of spending 100% of my time gaming, I have decided to allocate some time reading. Just read about this novel on the "Holy Shroud", it is something like Da Vinci code, using reality to become fiction.

Now I am reading Neil Humphrey's "Notes from a smaller island" omnibus. Seriously, if you want some laughs, and some understanding of Britain (as well), read the book. It enriches yourself... and at the same time allows you to really understand your own society. I just realised everything was taken for granted, until this book. I just realised how great Singapore was.

ok
guessed what

after taking lunch .. Xue Hai just called me .. zzzz

oh well tommorrow the admin is calling me ...

haha ..

let's hope for the better =D

called Macs.
i think i am loser, 失败者, failure ..




Mac: Macdonalds Clementi Branch. How can I help you?
Kevin: Uh.

K: Uh. Uh... Uh.. May I enquire..
Mac: yes?
K: May I enquire if there are any holiday jobs for a student?
Mac: May I know how long you will be working?
K: For around 2 Months.
Mac: Sorry, we currently accept only part-timers who work at least 3-6 months. We do not hire holiday workers. If you wish to apply, you may ....

disappointment, regret, dumb, silly, idiotic..
oh well....

and my parents recounted their school working days as if you could pick up the phone and accept a job. and then leave 1 month later... zzz

ok . the tuition centre jacked me T_T
booohoooohooohooooho EMOZ! EMOZ EMOZ....

...
...
...
...

ok that was lame ... but the handphone didnt ring, my Gmail did not show new Inbox mails (other than notifications of Forums I read.. like Topic Reply Notification - EC³ EOY Camp 2007), and its for at least 4,5 days. oh well I guess I cant.
Then, to think again, who would want a 16-year-old newbie, a boy who has not even reached Junior College, to come and help you teach? Yes, I had had experience teaching, but that does not mean I can make the grade?

Ok, now my eyes are towards the fast food restaurants, or even supermarkets. No matter what, I am going to make $$$ in this holiday. Cashier would be not bad. Fast food restaurants would be better - if I do, look for me I give you drinks without ice. =/

ok .. cheers!
happy holidays

Subject: Looking for Holiday Job as a Tutor
Body: I am Kevin Seng from Hwachong Institution .... -- Best Regards, Kevin Seng

Hehe ... Hope I get a call tommorrow.

Going Green? Think again.

Save the Earth
Save the Animals
Save the Environment
Save the Future

You should have heard, read, seen these phrases almost everyday now. Last time they were non-existent on your televisions or dailies, and it was just a few years back?

Dr Jane Goodall came to our school today, giving an inspirational speech on her life, her work, her dedication to saving the world, particularly our closest relative - the chimpanzees.
She described her adventures with nice detail, adding some sound effects here and there , including mimicking - you guessed it - monkey calls.
Then she went on to talk about how youths around the world help others, even in the most remote areas.
It was really good, uplifting, inspirational and motivational.

However, I have recently watched a documentary called "God is Green" (you may find it as "Is God Green?"). And something in there really sparked a good debate that has been battling my mind ever since I entered the auditorium for Dr Jane's presentation.

Just how much can EACH person change? You can recycle every day, you can walk to school daily, you can cut down on wastage you can this you can that. But think about it, how much of an impact can it make? Look at those pollutant-spewing factories, look at the thick cloud hovering over the developing countries.

You can save your food, but still overfishing will occur.
You can try and recycle plastic bags, but still companies will continue making plastic bags.
You can save on electricity, but there will always be the flashy lights that illuminate the skies at night.

I mean, even if a group, a city decides to go green, I doubt it has much impact.
We need a global effort. But in this globalised world, is the national interests of every country "Going green"? I doubt.

Every country wants economic development.

Let's just take an example of carbon emissions:

India is a fast developing country, China is another too. Even though they rank 3rd and 2nd in terms of total carbon output, their carbon output per person is one of the lowest!
Furthermore, India has just started the run to industralised nations, have started their journey that their Western counterparts have long gone in front. Think about this quote: "Why do we have to reduce our development rates and lose our 'right' to develop when the Westerners can do it? Furthermore the Westerners are the one that produces the most carbon, why bother us?"
What do we do with it?

You can ask them to develop the "green method". But 良药苦口, good medicine always tastes bitter, the green methods to really cut down the carbon emissions requires more revenue, more expenditure. What the government want is fast, quick, good bucks to make. Furthermore, the land is so big, how can the government really enforce? You think the money hungry people do not want a nice house, big cars and so forth, and they can only get that if they get alot of money, and if they can reduce production costs, and therefore the environment get cast aside.

Think about it.
How powerful are the green activists compared to the power-wielding politicians. After each campaign, you spend so much on posters, banners, flyers, you guess how many resources have to be used? You can use recycled materials, but that will cost more.

Think about it.
You want tobacco companies to shut down because of their poisonous, intoxicated sticks of supposed charred leaves? Oh yes you can. But that will mean laying off thousands of people.
You want poachers to stop their erratic behaviors before some animal will only appear in books and pictures? But that will mean causing the really desperate, those living in poverty and making ends meet through this means.
Oh yes I asked her, and she replied, "They can go find other jobs? Why should they risk other people's lives "
But I shall reply. I did not have the chance, but I shall reply here. Most of these people are poorly educated, where do you want them to go? You bring them to factories, that will mean increased usage of resources. You cannot have thousands of plumbers, road sweepers, construction workers, hawkers, trishaw riders etc.

So what do you think? I am not against or criticizing the efforts to go green, in fact I support and I am in full agreement. But on the hindsight, are our efforts just a tiny drop in the whole ocean? Do not give the crap that it stacks or something. The world has been made like this, you want to save something, you will hurt another.

How? What can we do? What can we REALLY do? Before you shout, "Let's stop Animal Testing", do you want you yourself to be a test subject?

Sorry, but all this work and effort, is seriously ... worth it?
