The Convenient of VISA

was the last tuition of this semester today.. but it was like such a long time since i gave tuition to HI student.. hahah.. cant really remember when was the last time..

the Deaf Run, Van B'day Party and some rambling

went to the Deaf Run early (and i meant really early, ~yawn~) in the morning.. 6km run/jog.. but i didnt run the whole journey.. ran for like less than half.. then walk the rest.. haha.. it seems like my stamina is still not tat good.. shall train more, and hopefully one day i can run a full marathon.. as usual, any RSPHI outing will be fun.. though didnt do much, just run/jog/walk* then had brunch together, still enjoyable..

after the run back to hall to shower rest a bit and get ready to go to Van's b'day party.. overslept, cos too tired.. haha.. luckily not too late.. the bbq and b'day celebration was fun.. had lots of prawn and sotong.. ~whoosh~ sang alot too.. we were like trying our best to outdo each other in singing old songs.. and i really mean ancient songs!! hahaha..

now i'm back in hall.. supposed to print some stuff for tomolo lesson and get some reading done before tomolo presentation.. but blogging and reading blog instead.. haha..

these few days, the thought of dying and death haunting me again.. for those who dont know, i'm very scared of dying/death.. the mere thought of it send shiver down my spine.. but dont know y these few days the thought keep haunting me.. having trouble pushing it out of my mind.. arrgghh..

anyway, sometimes i had things tat i wanted to blog about, but then knowing tat some of the person involved maybe reading my blog and i dont want to hurt his/her feeling, i ended up didnt blog.. should i continue like tat? though it is not directly fabricating lies, but telling partial truth is also a form of lying.. ~sigh~ i think i shall not telling partial truth anymore.. i'll just blog watever i want.. it is my blog wat, i can blog anything and everything as long as i dont break any law!!!

okay, shall finish printing my stuff and go sleep..

COR '07: Learn Without Boundaries, Give Without Condition

back from COR '07 yesterday.. still haven unpack yet.. *darn* got a lot of clothes to wash.. how i wish i'm back home now.. then my mom will wash for me.. hahah..

Learn Without Boundaries
a few new experiences this year.. got memorable one got not so good one..
1. journey by train is not easy.. avoid the seats near the cabin doors.
2. sleeping in cave was okay lah.. beware of jutting rocks.. alot of ppl snores in their sleep..
3. crawling in caves was not easy.. luckily, i'm slim enuf to go through.. haha.. nature is amazing.. natural rocks can form shape of ostrich, frog, dicipline teacher, merlion, prata, guy and gal on chair, eagle, monalisa..
4. tried abseiling, rock climbing and flying fox in secondary school before, but still enjoyable..
5. first time do river crossing.. fun!!! no much chance to do tat..
6. canopy walk, it confirmed my phobia, scared of height!!

Give Without Condition
not only towards the beneficiaries, but also towards the most-taken-for-granted-ppl, aka your friends.. i had learn more about my RSPHI friends!! can confirm one thing also.. they r a bunch of nice and fun loving ppl!! wohoo~~ more bonded?? hahha.. *damn gay lah*

the whole trip was fulfilling.. i think it was better than last year COR.. mainly due to i'm more involved this year though i'm just a subcomm/normal volunteer compared to last year where i'm the main commer/chief interpreter..

i think my signing improved a lot since last year COR.. can terp better.. but cannot complacent.. must work harder.. i'm aspired to be a fully certified interpreter!! wohoo~~

though this year COR was fun, there were certain things tat i dont really like about it.. sorry in advance to the COR comm ppl.. i think the cross-dressing pageant and the tao-pok session is not really suitable.. before i start commenting, i must give credit, both the pageant and the tao-pok was indeed fun.. i enjoyed it.. but then i cannot see the benefits of these 2 programmes.. the cross-dressing provide good laugh and sheer fun, but i think it is not very nice to have since we have children and beneficiaries.. i dont think it is a good example.. the tao-pok session was fun too, but i find it a bit violent.. also not good to do tat in front of children and beneficiaries..

there were things tat happen tat made me very angry too.. fuming.. but i'm okay now, just tat my impression on tat person not tat good anymore, well, not tat it was very good to start with.. hahah..

then again, i must comment on WS!! he is darn responsible throughout the camp.. if you're going to find someone tat is most concerned about the beneficiaries' welfare, tat will be WS.. i think he was worried about the beneficiaries all the time.. i can see tat sometimes the other main commer also neglect the beneficiaries.. WS won the most-responsible-main-commer award given out by the Edmund's Annual Award for the Volunteers.. sorry to TL, MT, YX, Des, Pat, i'm not saying tat you guys not good, just tat WS was better or at least i cant see you guys in action.. hahah.. try again next time yeah..

i also realise tat i really really like social work alot.. maybe i can give up my ambition of being a teacher and be a social worker instead.. hahahha..

will be back to update on other stuff next time.. chiao.. =P

A great decision - dedication to RSPHI

ppl always talk about their regrets.. the wrong choice tat they had made at some point in their life.. but how many ppl will cherish wat good and wise choice tat they made??

its been 3 years.. 3 years serving RSPHI as volunteer.. NEVER will i say i regret joining RSPHI!! RSPHI just rocks!!

how time flies.. still can remember the day when i when for the interview to get into RSP.. i'm torn between joining RSPHI or RSP Youth.. mind u all, i'm there at the interview all alone.. none of my friends wanna join at all!! well, in the end choosen to go for RSPHI.. a wise choice i believe.. haha.. not saying tat joining RSP Youth is not good.. just tat RSPHI had given me too good a experience for me.. too good such tat i will never think of wat will happen if i join RSP Youth..

BS1 course.. weekly tuition.. nomination.. coordinator or centrehead.. centrehead.. step down.. hahah.. such a long process but it felt like just yesterday.. from not knowing my fellow volunteers to getting close to them.. from not knowing any signs to becoming chief interpreter for COR (though i smoke alot in my interpreting, haha).. from being alone to becoming a big family of RSPHI (not forgeting IBU's family also).. and alot more.. such wonderful experiences!!

i'm not sure if i'll still be as active as this year during my final year in NTU, but i'll try to!! dont wanna lose touch with such a great gang of friends and i dare say family!! *ohhh i feel like crying*
