for the past 2 weeks, Ive been emailing and posting msgs in frenster & calling alumni and hoping they'd come..alot fo them told met hatt hey were going overseas, they had exam and etc...
I admit..I am feeling guilty..if not for us shifting date and time etc and not being able to get our fav caterer...Nonetheless, Im now led to wonder if the event wud have been as good if we had stuck tot hat date..looking at the lack of decorations and lack of preparation and emmm
I know the current batch loved it...and maybe the juniors had fun...and the recent last 2 batches of alumni in ISC had fun...but...how about the other alumni? In fact the ones who enjoyed themselves, enjoyed because they knew each other.
And I guess that is the main problem in this club. We know each other so well and tend to organise that we ourselves would enjoy..without considering what others would enjoy. Sometimes we get it right because others are like us..sometimes it doesnt work.
And while I can say that they did try...Id honestly and (sadly) say that this isnt enough...
The club is thinking too small....
Or maybe its me..thinking to highly..thinking that everything can be done...
I know I kept giving ideas... and maybe its me expecting my expectations and ideas to be adopted..maybe its my selfishness...maybe thats wats making me dissappointed at this event...
Dunno lah...Im abit confused by this...I dont know if telling them would be tooo cruel or too lenient...I want them to learn and become better...not stay stagnant and blame the lack of money as an excuse to not make things better....
I getting very tired..very tired..very very tired....My mind is on constant reminder mode and multi-tasking was never my forte. And just remembering things and realizing alot of it is not done yet..I get very worried and stressed..and if my clubs cant help me to rememebr their own business..I really wont be able to take it anymore.. The suckiest part..is that I wished I cud be there more for my club...but I cant...
I never get tired out easily because my God has given me the strength...but my lack of motivation..feeling that I have to be there always....is making me feel bad and thus bringing my morale down..if I have no energy to bring these clubs up..then why bother staying?
I really regret letting them take the string and steering the show themselves...if this is how they are gonna be all the time...mediocre.
This is the tired and un-motivated and stressed Me talking....
Father, I pray for my students..that you will be able to make them think big and let them see that nothing is impossible....even if money is an issue...without creativity....money wont work
Ning
I wish the same for my comperes and sparc and makeup artiste

Frenship bands, interviews & a flu later
Exhausted today....
For the past few days, its been interview every evening till arnd 9pm. Im really glad the club can do this interview without me at times...although, they do need abit of practice in throwing interview questions
Had a flu on wed and went home 9pm with a perpetual leak in my nose. Thanks to God who gave me a very long sleep and I got to work yesterday, feeling all better. :) I know some of the ISC students feel that Im doing too much.I feel it too....but I guess I do this as an example...that it will motivate them to work as much. Of course their probs are not like mine so I cant really say...
As we slowly got the alumni list together, alot of memories of people I knew via my ex..came in. Dont know what id do facing them tomorrow...I might not have given them a good impression when we were all still in school. For starters, I would have been labelled as the one who stole their vp time and committement from the club hahahahah. Take it as me returning a favour? Hahahah Like I said, I never knew Id be the officer of this club hahahah I cud say that a thousand times and it would still seem amusing to me. Hahaha
Tomorrow's Alumni Nite is gonna be real good! The chance to consolidate a decade's worth of info and getting people connected again! 2 days ago, we had 40+ tickets that we havnt sold...tonight, by God's grace (something I prayed about and trusted in him for) we sold all our tickets and are expecting an overflow if people suddenly pop by to get tickets. AMEN
To someone: This is for you!
Am at Toa Payoh now with Poh Yan and Bee Ting. Scold me for using the laptop while they chat...have too much on my mind yah.
Cant wait for tomorrow.....Cant wait for the Alumni Nite! Its times like these that I know why I came back during my leave..to help them with the contacts and the frenship bands...If they can dream big and be more creative..I believe 2 years down the road, they would be the school's most disciplined and most smooth sailing club. :)
Gotta go...they scolding me again.
God Bless

Yeah! 2 bros coming back for CHristmas!
Wohoo! Just got an overseas call. Was thinking that it was a bro in US who called to chat, but when the person started talking, his questions and conversation wasnt like that USA bro of mine...Then hearing the indian accent...my heart almost jumped out when the thought that my bestest best bro is actually calling! Hahahha nonetheless its neither, but a bro in australia hahahahahahhaha.
I have sooo many bros that its hard to keep a straight face hahahah
There was a time that everyone in SPARC and comperes was my bro and sis. Hahahah then when I called, "Aye brudda!" a brunch of them turned! Hahahahahha Then they started complaining that I called everyone "brudda" until they cant differentiate who Im calling for hahahahahahah Classic moment!!!! Hahahahahha
In fact, the only reason I managed to foll my ex into thinking that I didnt like him to start with..is because I called him "brudda"! Hahahah and its true! he was my bestest best bro! And still is! Hahahha damn funny!
As I read throught eh previous entry..it occured to me that now that Ive put up a face of my indian bro, alot of you could mistaken this guy as my ex. WAHAHAHAHAH sooo entertaining! Nope! He is not! This guy is the "bala-cuda" that kept making fun of me, playing games w me and biting me when we were working together. Nonetheless, he is my 1st indian bro aka Ah Neh (phonetically translated w english from tamil) So my respects to him always and seeing him sooo happy, makes me smile too! Esp when Dhanyaa is such a cute gurl! *pinch cheeks*
Speaking of bros, back to the topic, my bestest best bro (uk bro) and Eka (aussie bro) are coming back the same time and Im sooooo hoping to meet up w them! Even if it means staying up till late! Wohooo!
I need to add in is a sudden self realization...that Ive changed sooo much that the lingo I used to use last time..is barely used now...only when the people I used it with, are with me. Like, "classic!", "Brudda" , "Lepak", "dudu", "mandee", "kai fun", "bloody mutton curry"
Hmm time does change things..and surroundings too...not using these words doesnt mean Im more mature...but that that time period has gone and my lingo is more subdued..others beg to differ on this point hahahah
Had a musical talk today. Brought back soo many memories! Made me think back abit about those days :) Let me sing my song soon. :)
God Bless

Babies!
Another happy family! My cousin's daughter! She looks exactly like my cousin! Eyes and all.
Im not one to go gaga over babies. I like them when they're small and immobile and smiley..but hate them when they shit, pee, spew saliva and grow up. I for one will never carry a baby when its 1st born because it scares me! Esp Elley when she was born..she was sooo small that you could balance her on your palm.
Hahah both of them are cute but in terms of "big eye" factor, Dhanyaa takes my vote. :)
Kk enough baby stories! New life bringeth forth new happiness. My auntie status is now closer to home. cant wait for these 2 kids to grow up
God Bless
