Tampines East CC YEC Christmas Carnival 2006

It was a relief for me when the carnival finally ended. It was a tough time going through all the harsh plannings, but we all made it through and i felt that it was a success, though not many people came. Maybe it was because of the rain. But in any case, i learnt a lot through out this whole planning. That's one of the achievements i got from this carnival.

Reached the CC office in the morning at around 8.45am. Met Cheryl and Hui Hui on the way up. They were there very early because they need not really need to be there so early. Anyway, i just went up to the office located at the 3rd floor.

An office staff was with me when we came up. She helped to open the office door. Just after that, she found something amiss with the security system as the alarm did not sound when she opened the door. She thought someone else had gone in, but there was no one in the office. She then went to the first floor where the main security control was located to check it out. I did not follow and went into the office to the same chair facing the same computer screen, which was a process that i had been repeating for the past one week. Damn, i was quite sick of facing the computer as a matter of fact.

Once down on the chair, my hand started to type on the keyboard. Looking at the namelist on my manpower list, i typed in the names of those attending and helping out in the carnival onto a certificate designed by me and edited by Jinguang (Vice Chairperson of the carnival) and Dr. Ken (Chairman of Tampines East CC Youth Executive Committee). A lot of changes had been made to my original design before a satisfactory one is being born. That was quite some work done. Anyway, thanks to the help provided by Desmond, Esther, Jin Kai, Yi Kai and some other people who helped me along the way. I can't really remember who helped me along the way, because i was quite busy until i don't remember who helped me.

Anyway, i went down to help Haunted House because i felt that Haunted House should be at my highest priority at that moment because they were only allowed to set up their scenes on the day itself. The moment i stepped into the Haunted House, i felt like i was in a studio with the studio crews moving and setting up the scene. Everyone was given a part to do and they were giving in their best to get things done the best possible. Then, Desmond joined in. We began to discuss about the layout of the Haunted House. Then we discovered that the space near the entrance was brightly lit and the light could not be switched off due to some reasons. It can only be switched off by a technician. Anyway, the both of us thought of an idea and used a very long black cloth and made an entrance just after the light, blocking as much light as possible. It worked and the both of us felt a sense of achievement, and the Haunted House crew were also very glad.

It was then the Singapore Poly Leo Club volunteers contacted me about their arrival. I went down to Lobby and started to assign them to go to their respective allocations. Then, i brought those who were assigned securities into the Control and started my briefing. Just when my briefing ended, the first aid team arrived, led by Weiling, SP Leo president. i then started the first aiders' briefing. Just before that, i asked Michael, Security IC, to bring the guys around. Just when my briefing ends, they returned. Then i took the first aid team around.

Backstabbers Spotted!!!

Somehow, before i started working, i had this naive thought that friends are those who will always support you at all times. But ever since i started working after my 'O'-levels, i discovered that my thought had sabotaged me. I was stabbed in the back all the time and was unable to get a pay raise while the others had their pay raised fast. That was the time when i started to believe that the world is too hideous for me to know. I quitted the job knowing that i was backstabbed for the 6 months i had been working there.

Soon, i was in poly and i met another new group of friends. They let me feel that i should start believing in friends again. BUT, after a while, i met backstabbers again. How come my life is full of backstabbers? I really wonder if i am meant to be backstabbed. I dislike backstabbing others, but when i knew of others backstabbing me, i have this urge to backstab them back. I consider this as retaliation. But i have a conscience of not doing so as it makes me part of them.

But i have friends who are very supportive of me. I really appreciate their efforts and support. Really...a very BIG thanks to you guys who walked me through the dark moments and giving me support all the way. I will make sure your efforts will not go down to the drains. I will stand firm to my ways of life and will turn around and fight these backstabbers. No matter whether it is political or what-so-ever...i will FIGHT!

Bored Life, No Life

Sianz...

Everyday I faced the cold hard computer...doing projects or trying to do project...nothing else to do...

Just a few days ago, on the 3rd Dec (Sat), i attended the People Association Youth Movement(PAYM) Convention at Suntec. Gurmit Singh was the host for that event...I had quite some fun, especially during the tea-break and dinner time where great food was served...

During dinner, the YEC group that i represented and i took a group photo with Gurmit. After that, we went to Carrefour to look for christmas decors to be put up in Tampines East CC lobby...

Now, i am feeling low because i do not know whether the girl has any feelings or me...my heart is cold and crammy...i feel very stressed about all the things that are happening around me...the pressure from all my commitments with emotions adding fuel to fire...
