Do you want to be safe?

Not too long ago, I was approached by this random stranger outside JE Library, and he gave me a one hour lecture on salvation and repentance one day before my last paper. That particular paper, I got my worst grade ever.

Today, I was yet again stopped by another random stranger, this time in school.. Many people were walking towards the Central Forum and of all people, this guy came up to me, and started off with his gimmick. The question here is "WHY ME!?"

The most probable reason is that I have a sinful aura. From afar, my aura can already be felt, and when I walked their way, they have to stop me and share with me their story.

The good thing about this is that he knows I need to have my dinner before my last lesson, so this encounter only lasted for 10 minutes.

adrenaline rush

I simply don't understand why tutorial participation is such a popular component in our grading.

I agree sometimes(most of the times) that I do not participate in the discussion because I don't know how to do the questions. But on the occasions when I'm able to answer the questions, I still don't like to share my answers.

One reason is I find it very difficult to articulate my points when speaking aloud. Sometimes, I find that even I don't know what I'm talking, so I'd rather keep quiet.

Another reason is the post-effect of the contribution. Take for example today, in my smallest tutorial group ever, with a class size of 6, I was easily arrowed to answer questions. I feel quite out of place when I have to go to the board to write my answer. Even when I voluntarily shout out my answer, I feel my heart thumping really fast afterward, and it's too stimulating for my liking, even though I know I've earned an extra 0.5 mark or so for my contribution.

A chain of many small events has led me to meet my little friend whom I met at the VSA camp last month, though it took me and him 3 seconds to recognize each other. Lol. Happens he was there for VSA arts lesson, so well, maybe we'll meet again. Glad he remembers my name too, many people say it's hard to remember.

Also received an email that I initially thought to be a spam. After reading through the broken English, I realized that it was sent from Cambodia, by one of the youths that came for our education camp. The email was nicely done up with a background picture, only the language needs some brushing up :p

A Busy Year

The timetable looks slack with a three-day week, but everything points to a busy year.. Especially in the second half of the year.

Starting off will be a series of meetings for an upcoming event in march. Hopefully this won't be as tiring as the trip to Cambodia, though I'll still be in the same job scope of logistics.

Apart from that, still have the post-trip to IMH at the end of January to settle, and many other miscellaneous stuff before we can finally conclude PSK'08.

Bye to PSK'08, say "Hello!" to PSK'09 in June. Let's see what's in for me this year when the date draws nearer. Already seeing some potential pitfall with the ICT coming in December this year..

IPPT will be done in February, clear the faster the better. Anyone wants to take with me just pm me. Thanks. :)

return of the BPian Spirit

Two years since I last went back to BPGH, so since the school has completed its renovation, they invited all alumni members to return and visit the "new" school. So I woke up early in the morning to go to school as though I was still a secondary school kid and went back to school on the first day of school.. Of course, my groupies won't give up the chance to play basketball at the new campus!

After the visit, I went on to have sakae buffet at wheelocks place as the gathering for my YEP'08 team, and they still gonna meet up for another 2 times before next Tuesday, wth and we just came back..
