Whee~! Started off with our Blazor tag making with Joyce (Minghui came to help 'cos he thought we're in same house...?)...and this is the (half-finished) product!
Busy
Sometimes, things just do not go your way. You thought that you're being a nice guy by helping others achieve their intended goals, you get others to help you, yet your friends do not understand the restrictions you have.
You're not in power to change anything. Maybe I was, but did I choose that? No...I let it 顺其自然. In the end, you voice out your unhappiness 'cos u felt that I could've intervened and prevented it from happening. And it pissed you off 'cos I said I could'nt do much.
Maybe it was oversight on my part and I'm sorry.
But we've gotta learn to accept it! Meet new people? Learn new things?
I'm never the best person to talk about meeting new people. Oh com'on. I'm still wishing that I had kept my friends together from pri sch to sec sch to JC. But somehow I feel myself drifting...not knowing them.
Uni friends? I dunno but some whom I had viewed as friends became...unfriendly? Or some people do not treat me as much of a friend as others.
To me, I wish my friends were always here. To get someone to know you and talk to. I know I'm more reserved in my inner self and hide my feelings and intentions, but that's because I did not want too many people to know.
Or maybe I'm wishing that someone would view me differently. Accept me for who I am?
I wish I've more time. For friends (no time to meet up?). For family (yea I've neglected them to a very very bad point). For myself (no time to think...-sigh-).
What do I wish to achieve?
Why do I keep doing things which I hope others will appreciate?
Do they even appreciate?
What do I want to do?
Or maybe I'm just looking for a nod of the head, a smile, a sign that what I've done is appreciated.
Ramblings. Indeed. (Now I seldom do that?)
Just wondering why I'm treated differently.
But I need an outlet. And I was looking for it yesterday night. That's why, the question flew. But I wasn't thinking much. Like a shot in the dark.
And the more I think, the more bad I feel about not making all happy. Or can I make everyone around me happy? -sighs- Sometimes won't you get tired of giving others happiness and deep inside you've to sacrifice to do so for them?
Maybe to them they will feel that, "Oh SY has done this for me...wow, that's good! Now I'm having my fun!". But do they ever think of the things one has to do to help them achieve their fun?
So dun say I never tried. I'm trying to resolve the issue. Give you your state of fun|happiness|friendship.
Someone tell me what I'm doing is right/wrong. Someone...
Anyway. Gonna do tag making for O-Week and an Appreciation Dinner for OHANA. A long day...again.

T.I.R.E.D.
No other words to describe. But I guess I can't be more tired than some other people who've been under the sun dealing with stubborn gigantic blue-and-white striped stuff ehs?
Rest well...U'd better do so...
Now @ YIH canteen...haha....Hope u'd like e meal ;)
Tired.
And now I'm back at the booths waiting for the first freshies to appear. Well, after one time at the booths u know that the first wave of freshies are usually the "I wanna matriculate and get out of NUS ASAP" type of person.
So I'm waiting for the main group of freshies who will appear, probably at 10 plus? Meanwhile, the Rovers booth is empty 'cos Henghong, Peiyu and Shuang Hui went to get some grub to fill their currently empty stomachs.
And the bus 151 is super slow today. Not to mention that it was stuffy, hot and caught in a traffic jam. And I even heard over the news that bus fares are to increase? Where's the justification when I waited 10 mins for a bus which runs on non-aircon (old) buses?! Geez.
Companies which look at only profits and figures, but not considering the people whom they supposedly serve.
Talking about that, it reminds me of the time when we have 35 cents bus trip tickets (non-aircon) and 45 cents bus trip tickets (aircon). Those were the days when you had to slot in a cutely-designed farecard into the machine, and out comes a small slip of paper which is your trip ticket.
Well those were the days. You can reminisice the past, but you have to move ahead into the future...
Back to yesterday, was having Engin O-Week briefing by Patrick and Ryan. Got to know more about the O-week itself, plus I got to meet up with my fellow OGLs. Being a House IC, I think I need to do more than just bond the House...time to think of a common type of tag? Gee. I'm lousy in designs I must say (Just look at the Okailer tag and someone will just tick me off cos of it -_-")
After that, went over to Holland V's Settlers' Cafe to meet up with the Fuego peeps - Anqi, Jinyao, JJ, Kent, Mark and Weili. Had lotsa fun, despite me being late by an hour. So in between downing a chicken cutlet and fries, I was playing the game "Miners". Super fun! (not to mention I've played before) And Anqi kept being the saboteur, whilst I kept getting the miner card. Sheesh.
After that we went over to Gelare for good waffles (1/2 price Tues!) and had a great chit-chat/talk crap session! Long time never do such stuff le...guess we're all busy during the hols. Plus 5 of us are in O-week! Wow!
Okies. Freshies coming in...time to get back to work.
Boring? Tired? Or simply having fun beo-ing potential committee members?
Well, I guess we're tired from standing around for 6 hours plus, answering the same questions which freshies post to us 'cos our booth is just next to ODAC's, not having a lunch break when it was told to us specifically that it's 1200-1330 hrs, screwed up administration with super long queues, having freshies in the matriculation fair even though it's past the timing specified etc.
It just doesn't seem right that a huge organisation like them could do something so unprofessionally. Geez.
But anyway, I had my 'fun' in telling freshies our experiences, had fun talking to other people, met up with Tze at her PRU booth, met Tong Cai at his Akido booth, and many many more friends!
Then I realised, I forgot some of their names. Sigh.
Is it just me, or my memories really fail when I do not talk to someone often enough? Maybe not, just that the person did not have a lasting impression on me?
After that, went to watch a movie by The Lake House. Haha. The house is super nice (yup Tze, I'd agree with u that it would be really nice to get a house like that by the Lake! But for now pls settle for a Lakeside View Condo or smth? Haha)! As for the storyline, it was more or less predictable ('cos I heard of such a story before, from Anqi's musical production last sem), but too draggy.
As for the ending, well let's just say they decided to make it a happy ending.
If you watched the movie carefully enough, they actually said there was an attic in the Lake House with a sloping roof, but...I dun see anywhere in the Lake House which has room for an attic, moreover Alex had even planted plants above in a glass enclosure. Also, the roof was kinda...flat. lol!
I hope I made a correct decision today.
I really wish all would turn out well.
Time is needed, sacrifices by each other.
Will things be the same again?

Happy Birthday
It's been some time since I've been to Sentosa...at least the Palawan and Siloso beaches.
And boy, has the place changed. Well, the Palawan beach is so much nicer! Wow! Can't believe they actually made that place look better and newer than Siloso or Tanjong Beach areas!
It was just a hectic day...first met up at Harbourfront MRT with the Engin O-Week councillors and main comm, including Patrick, Ryan and Lionel. All were late, and I was early, so went over to HF to settle some accounts, buy a bottle of water and back to the station control I went, with more people gathering already.
Off we left for Sentosa, at 1030, and we dropped off at the Dolphin Lagoon, and started some ice-breaker games. Pretty bo liao, at least to me. If you went for camps, you will at least know the basic ice-breaker games, same for cheers. To stand out, you might have new cheers or games to play, but that's about it, right? So why waste my time? -sigh- I could've been with my OG for the first part of the day instead.
So in the end we played till around 1 plus, had lunch and started the beach games. Played 4 games out of 8 in total, and left to join Okailer for their outing! Whee!
I was so lucky! When I left the Engin ppl, I managed to catch the tram which was about to move off, then at the interchange I just happened to be able to squeeze into one of the trams for the Blue line to Siloso beach! Wow! And I even caught up with Yings and Geok who were walking back to the beach area!
Had fun at the beach! Not so much of the v-ball session, as I wasnt warmed up, quite tired after swimming up and down for the last game station I was at with the Engin people. So just sat down in the sun with Yings and Geok.
Then whilst the guys were playing v-ball, the girls decided to play the beach ball, and it floated/drifted to the NTU camp! And the guys were 'called in' to save it, in the end, a friendly dude from NTU helped pick the ball out of the water (since the whole camp is in the water) and all of us started on the water activities! Really felt so shuang to be in the water, esp under the hot sun!
Watching NTU ppl dunking and swinging their friends into the water, we decided to do the same ourselves...so one by one we swung each and every person into the water. Haha! And Hwi Bee and Yings got most number of water-dunkings. Damn funny! But it was fun! lol!
Fun and more fun, then we went up to build sandcastles, moats and 'defences' for our giant sand sculpture using only hands! Wow! Super fun! We even built bridges and high walls, watch towers and roads...and the task was to build till someone actually bothered to come over to take a look. Which really happened o_O (That's super cool!)
More fun, more water...and we left unwillingly at around 6 plus, 'cos Candice was waiting at Clarke Quay already, and we just took the bus out, went to Fisherman's Wharf at Clarke Quay to have a sumptuous dinner! Woohoo! What a great day! Hell yea!
I need more Sentosa outings. Haha.

Too many things upcoming, too many things which happened. Yet all have been fun!
Ended Scarela's first Chalet outing! Totally awesome 3d2n at the Yacht Club along Changi Beach! The highlight, was not the BBQ, nor the SMU jump which we did to the SMU:Xtremists (aka NTU ODAC?), and not even the great sharing sessions we had in the cool room where all 14 of us squeezed in!
It was the nightwalk. Totally cool. Haha. And well, Changi is famous for its *ahem*Bak Poks*ahem* at night, so it was just as well that we did a stroll to the Cheers outlet there to get some drinks, and encountered them.
Not to mention interesting things about some of the people in the OG. Haha!
Sharing sessions, truth & truth (aka Double Truth) are really times when the issues come in and we get to know more stuff about each other. Crap just gets thrown out. And the sad stuff, just comes in.
Pictures in soon.
On another note...
