Another nite cycling event...it was realli tiring but enjoyable. Sadly, the K2P pple...coz we were facis, we were not able to cycle together and make noise! hahaha had to take our responsibilities seriously :p on the whole, it was good la...no real injuries, safety officers and riders did an excellent job...and of coz the weather was kind to us alhamdulillah. But perhaps, there wasnt enuff rest for the participants coz we were all behind time and the organizers had to double up and speed up...so we were practically chasing for time the whole nite. Programmes and games had to be cut so it realli was a pity la...hmm being a faci...i did get to know my grp mates a lil in the beginning but during the course of the cycle, diden realli have a chance to have gotten to know them better...oh well :p i wanna go for the nez nite cycling and BE A PARTICIPANT hahaha oh yes, not to forget that i managed to watch the sunrise at ECP. it was realli beautiful! ahh the beauty of God's creation...muz thank lin for making me watch it hahaha so Thank You :D

Dependable, reliable and trustworthy, they like to belong to solid organisations that are reasonable in their ambitions and loyal to their employees. They feel useful when their roles and responsibilities are clearly established and they can monitor their activities and productivity in tangible ways. They tend to be rather modest, traditional and conventional, to like sensible clothing, to be thrifty, careful and wise with both money and possessions.

Once they accept a project, they will see it to the end. They manage their time well and are realistic about how much time and resources will be needed.

They tend to like to stay in one neighbourhood, often choosing to live close to where they were themselves raised. They are often involved with volunteer organisations and have a developed sense of citizenship and accountability. When they purchase something, it is after careful consideration; rarely will they buy something without having a known need or use for it. They may keep possessions for a lifetime and treasure those that were given to them.

They tend to have a good memory for specific facts that are necessary in their day-to-day life at work and at home. They accumulate facts and details to orient themselves, relying on repeated experiences that have been proven trustworthy. A fact once experienced may be the product of circumstance and happenstance; it is not in and of itself reliable. When an introverted sensing type hears an idea, they rummage through reams of archived facts to find an experience that provides information for the relevance and realism of an idea. When an introverted sensing type utters, "It's never been done!" they are saying that no information about the relevance or usefulness of the idea is available to them. They tend to shy away from surprises and what is perceived as unnecessary change.

I wouldnt have watched the Arena if not for reading Maly's blog :p Its really funky and unique, compared to traditional debates where speakers face off in the arena and each have a rebuttal bank to rebut opposition points. Im really impressed by the two schools...coz they showed lotsa depth and breadth, brot up points i've thot abt and fieriness/spirit of competition.

So...Hey Good Looking! Good Looks Triumph over Effort.

Both schools brought up points in the entertainment industry, media, ecomomy, sports etc there was quite a lot of emphasis on good looking pple such as David Beckham, Anna Kournikova, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts. Proposition kept banking on the fact that good looks provided the advantage pple need to taste success. First impression counts and being good looking provides that inborn key to opportunities. The opposition on the other hand accept the fact that good looks are indeed an advantage but described that good looks are just short term and in the long run, pure effort is the one that counts in any industry, any aspect of life. One point dat really caught my attention was dat the stereotype attached to good looks. How pple often stereotype dat pple wif good looks juz get to the top based on their good looks, having good looks becomes more of a hindrance rather than a blessing coz u then have to work doubly hard to prove dat u are up there coz of who you are and what u have achieved.

I guess the best combination would be to have the best of both worlds - the natural blessing of looks and the acceptance of effort as a tool of success :)

I've been in this 'whatever' mood the past few days. Dun get me wrong...im actually looking forward to school coz it'll keep me busy, being with friends and getting my mind off stuffs. I dun think i've had enuff rest dis holiday ahakz and diden get 2 complete a list of things i set myself to do during the hols like reading, making a new debit card, finding out y on earth i pay $32.50/mth for NTUC income =p, sorting out funny papers in my room and hanging out with my good frens...so yeah it was more of silat training, preparing for competition and planning for upcoming events...haiyah but..im welcoming the new semester! Bring it On! haha

I guess things have not gone my way...and im juz feeling resigned and whatever. Like how i lost in KL. Like how down ive been the past few days. Like how the triangular is turning out. By right, im supposed to be incharge but pple are bypassing me and making decisions dat are complicating what should have been a simple event. I noe pple are helping me and im glad for dat...but some things should at least go through me 1st coz im the one with the overall vision of the event. But we'll juz see la...perhaps it will be for the best la coz my plan could have had loopholes and my comm members are helpin 2 make it a success. Like how my laptop just crashed on me juz before sch starts...sheesh all my pictures, music files gone. Thankfully i managed to save my past NUS assignments, CCA stuffs so it aint too bad ah. My fault too la heh..tk gi backup siang2 :p

Like how last minute (and i really mean last minute) today's silat performance at the Martial Arts Fest @ Tampines West CC. When i went for training yesterday, my coach asked me to lead the budak2 for a performance today! We had like wad...1 hour of training to prepare for a performance. I was pissed coz it was so last minute and he diden realli care if pple were not able to make it or that quality of the performance mattered. To me, i'd rather do something to share and impress, not juz for the sake of just performing. He diden care about my opinion and i diden realli care how i talked to him yesterday, all heated up and rebellious. Now u noe, im capable of dat...especially if i noe im right. And of coz it cocked up...mostly by me hahaha i forgot steps :p i was supposed to be leading 10 others, but kept looking back coz i forgot wad's the next step! And i felt malu la coz all the other perguruans put up impressive displays, while ours was juz short and simple. Credit to cute Naiem for his solo performance (seme org ckp...cute seh budak kecik tu!) I guess the onli satisfaction i got out of the whole thing today was dat the kids were happy to be able 2 perform...and coz of my presence, they got that opportunity. But truthfully, i would have liked 2 be better prepared and gif a performance dat pple will remember.

Lin showed me a beautiful and heartfelt poem by Mother Theresa entitled Anyway. (pls refer to her blog for the whole version) haha see awak..im publicizing ur blog! :p anyway...the gist of it is about you being nice, selfless, honest, courteous, being happy eventhough u may find pple taking advantage of u, pple believing that ure not altruistic but having hidden intentions, destroying ur happiness and what u have built and such. Dat you do what u feel is right, to do your best coz it is God that will determine what you have done, not ur fren, not even your 'enemy'. There is a saying...'Biar org guris hati kite, jangan kite guriskan hati org'. BUT (like all arts students..muz be critical haha) there has to be a balance of being nice and doing what is right all the time. Coz if u stand to lose all the time, its not worth doing. Like for silat..if what im doing doesnt benefit me that pple take for granted my niceness, i should rethink my priorities. Your moves have to be calculated. Perhaps pple might see this as being manipulative, but i see this as being calculative, protecting yourself. But of coz...u all noe im nice...and i will continue being nice to everyone, anyway :D its juz me hehehe
