    Log Camp 2008
    Ngee Ann Polytechnic, 31 October- 2 November


    super excitied!
    this camp is special in a way that:
    - im once again a camper!
    - i have many people i know joining too!
    - it is held on the weekends, which is very much like a short vacation to me!


    since we only book in for camp around evening time,
    and the clubhouse is used as the logistic room,
    i have to carry my barang barang with me in the day.
    which means, I HAVE TO PACK LIGHT!
    enough humailiation at camp legacy! (i carried a huge bag, remember?)


    wah, just imagine i get to sleep at loft again, woohoo!

    1) being too rational does not mean you are true to your heart
    months ago, i made a ruthless decision and turned someone life upside down.
    months later, i begin to think if that was what i truly wanted.
    this is when your mind rules over your heart, and that is being too rational.
    i hope my heart will stop disturbing me with my once-so-beautiful memories,
    because there is no turning back.

    2) will you come for log camp? i plead you, it'll be a whole new experience
    i was refer to weina.
    in the end, she redraw from the camp.
    i am sad, i thought that will be a good chance for her to know more people,
    to have a taste of my fun-filled life.
    then she said she is not friendly.
    probably because she will have to leave her comfort zone to come for this camp,
    something not many people will do.
    i should have been more understanding

    3) life is about making decisions.
    i have been uncertain about deferment.
    it is 99.9% confirmed already, since my name was submitted.
    i really dont know how to crack the news to my lovely 4.
    dayna was first to know and she is already so sad about my soon-to-come departure.
    i have no intention of telling the rest yet, because i do not know how to.
    i wonder if they will be upset about it.
    in any case, i will miss my classmates terribly!
    this is a moment i wish i can hug them all and cry.

    ore and farid are great seniors from NRA,
    and they encouraged me to do an item in Danazation 2008.
    of course i am, that is what i dream of.
    i left NRA because i dont like the ambience's there.
    that was a rough patch i used to lay myself in, and will i be able to get out of it?
    does my lousy time management and high commitment level allow that?

    4) i rather have some other person hating me than WONG YIJIE!
    mr wong wish to make all the girls hate him.
    "I HATE JOANNE CHUA PUI SAN AND CHAN JIAYING AND JACINTHA CHEW PEI RUI AND ALL THE GALS!!!"
    to play along with mr wong's plot, i wrote this as my display name on MSN.
    and then he blocked me from MSN.
    anyway, he just unblock me.
    LOL!

    5) i am just another insensitive and selfish bitch. do not ask why.


    happy, i smile;
    unhappy, i frown;
    depressed, i complain;
    responsibilities are never ending shit & i love it

    HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY BOY BOY (KENNETH)!!!


    my apology for not calling you on the dot at 1200!
    my alarm on the phone did not ring !(something is wrong with it recently)
    life has been wonderful and fulfilling after knowing you.
    we knew each other for 3 years already, time really flies!
    i am still quite amazed by the way we met.
    we seriously went through thick and thin together for the past years.
    thank you for your guidance, without it, i will be still a lost sheep.
    thank you for your help, without it, i would not enjoy my life now.
    thank you for your patience, without it, i would not realised the person i am.
    we may not get a chance to chat/meet/share a lot,
    that why i do miss you time to time!
    no matter what, i hope our friendship will never end!
    gurl gurl will be here for you until i drop dead!
    ** do not feel bad of disturbing me, because you have all the rights and privilege to do so!
    ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR FYP!
    SURELY AD!!
    PS: Sorry I have been very understanding these days

    原来一个故事没了你我他会失去生命力。
    (a perfect story cannot do without the existance of you and me)
    原来每句歌词中的意义有个不为人知的故事。
    (lyrics is not just what it is, they has a story to tell)
    歌词的诞生,不是偶然,而是会发生在现实世界中的过程。
    (lyrics are not just a story, rather, they are part and parcel of reality)


    S.H.E.- 安静了
    词: Selina 曲:周杰伦



    离开我好吗
    我已经觉得不行了
    你先说分手好不好?

    只剩下钢琴陪站在这里
    梦想中属于我们的婚礼
    却成了单人结婚进行曲
    在这场爱情角力的拔河里
    还是爱 选择了自己

    撒娇的可爱的 粘人的爱哭的
    照片里曾经的都是喜欢的
    如今还在原地 你却走回你的记忆

    太多 就快要把淹没
    害怕幸福短暂一秒就崩落
    分开是一种解脱 让好好的想过
    想要的那片天空 是不是能够给
    太多 却不能给什麽
    分不清激情承诺永恒或迷惑
    爱情是一道伤口 我们各自苦痛
    沉默是最后温柔 是因为太爱

    只剩下钢琴陪我站在这里
    梦想中属於我们的婚礼
    安静了在枕边的梦里
    知道相爱原本就不容易
    爱不是一加一 努力就有结局

    撒娇的可爱的 粘人的爱哭的
    照片里曾经的都是爱着
    脸颊的泪还温热 却没有人握的手

    太多 就快要把淹没
    害怕幸福短暂一秒就崩落
    分开是一种解脱 让好好的想过
    想要的那片天空 是不是能够给
    太多 却不能给什麽
    分不清激情承诺永恒或迷惑
    爱情是一道伤口 我们各自苦痛
    沉默是最后温柔 是因为太爱


    对不起
    现在的我 无法给你幸福

    CAMP LEGACY 08
    to build you as a leader
    Ngee Ann Polytechnic, 10- 12 October 2008
    For emergency, please contact me via my cellphone.

    oh well, i am not an idiot to feel nervous now.
    this is not like the camp i have been to.
    the freakly BIG issue now is that the dress code is smart causal!
    come on lah, people who sees me everyday,
    knows i am most comfy in tee and short with slippers.
    there is driving me crazy yo!

    with the dress code being smart causal,
    i am expecting myself be in seminar after seminar, talks after talks,
    there will be lots of thinking to be done.
    i am expecting to work with new people,
    i do not know if i am able to adapt to it so quickly.

    alright, can you feel how freak out i am?

    though i have some condolences.
    - expecting to sleep on beds
    - expect less workout, not to mention about running all around the campus

    PS: all are expectations because i was not given the intinary.





    met up with panjang crews for a "reunion" dinner.
    it is great to have Karen Shui Zi Han back!
    (FYI: she just returned from OIP at Wuhan, China)
    she got me a pink wallet and a red multi-purpose purse, HELLO KITTY PRINTS on it!
    useful and gorgerous, THANK YOU!

    42 days may not seems long to many, but anything could happened!
    i have just too much to hear and share with her.
    jiaying and karen, we shall have our low-tea soon!
    WOOHOO!

    i saw one of my predictions.
    it has ever came across my mind before,
    i was then sure i am able to handle it.
    but now, i do not know.
    it came so soon and caught me unguarded.
    it may be a guess but surely an intuition, which most of time came true.
    i am glad to see progress, progress like needles that pricks my heart.
    i have to be rational to save me from my sins,
    because i know what is best for everyone.

    to her:
    you have been so precious to me but i am losing the click with you.
    we surely need a heart-to-heart talk.
    firstly, have you sense the change?
    or you have given up hope on me?

    just another thing,
    i hope if that is what you want, please go ahead,
    do not mind about me and be my saviour of this tragedy.

    wow wow wow,
    i think joanne is indeed depressed.

    intend to pack my room,
    yet i spent the whole day sleeping.
    I AM A PIG!- whatever.

    as a matter in fact,
    i love being detached from the outer world.
    no phone calls, no music, no movies, no variety shows, no internet,
    just live like a newborn baby- sleep, eat, sleep, eat.
    my mom find it rather ridiculous and tries to wake me up time to time,
    but she does not know that this is the way i pamper myself.

    there was another reason why i choose the sleep all day.
    my mind is in a toil.
    maybe my hormones are playing a trick on me (my period has come),
    maybe i just felt i have not enjoyed enough this holidays,
    maybe i fear the coming semester would be too challenging for me.
    maybe there were other matters bothering me.
    i just cannot figure it out, i do not want to look unhappy.

    please GYM, drop me a hint.

    "People changes along with time, i am no longer that naive girl. "

    a year ago, i will be convinced by your honeyed words,
    i needed that affirmation to convinced myself that i am good,
    i needed that encouragement to break my sales records.
    a year later, i am having doubts in your words,
    because i know what i am offered now
    and i know where my capabilites stands.
    your honeyed words just sounded so unrealistic.
    i thought i was being sensitive but my instincts are now proved right.
    your words and actions doesnt tally at all,
    only a fool will pen your words down.
    you and your craps simply irks me.
    though i appreaciate your help to offer the best deal for my customers whenever possible.
    PS: i am just ranting about my dealer. nothing serious happened.

    a day out with my clique of colleagues after a very long time.
    there were changes to the clique:
    - the couple is more and more loving
    - one serving NS
    - received a new female member
    - sees another potential pair coming together

    we played bowling at Ehub.
    it was lots of fun since i havent been playing that for ages.
    i had the median score ( third among the five of us)
    that is not the point!
    the winner and loser will have to pay for lunch!
    ( in the end we all went on dutch lah)

    Sakae Sushi buffet for lunch was great!
    i love the steamed egg, fried scallops, eel sushi & softshell crab egg roll!
    we managed to finish 20 plates of sushi, 10 bowls of steamed eggs.
    we ended our day with silly games.
    had a good laugh at those very confused looking faces.
    evil evil. XD

    i initially though it were be awkward since it's been a long time i met them.
    they are same the adorable people i know.
    they wont be reading this but still thank you all, i had a great time today,
    it would be better if i had figure out which couple to walk with again the next time.
    opps..





    quote from a wise young man:
    The only person you need to prove to will be yourself. So what is it that you want to prove to others?

    that was what exactly i went through previously.it is NOT worth the precious effort and time.
    people just want it better and better, thats why ISO standards are always revised.
    why be their slaves of achieving excellence? you cant please them all too.
    self satisfaction, which is so far the best solution, will definitely bring more joy to your life.
    dont believe me? read the previous post on the curse.




    Thursday, October 2, 2008

    a year i had lots of crazy fun in a new environment,
    a year i've been away from my previous "playground".
    i was then, i little ignorance kid, fooled by my little achievements
    now im back to earn more cash while learning the things i missed out previously.
    it was a random decision though.

    the same(s) as a year ago:
    - im still a promoter for Philips LCD monitors
    - have the same strict-looking boss
    - working in the same building
    - always late for work
    - the kopitiam still sells the same good food

    the difference(s) from a year ago:
    - demand change, market going for bigger widescreens
    - the prices are much more competitive
    - competitiors brands gaining popularity
    - has a new supervisor, benny
    - more $$$ rolling in!

    i guess i made a dramatic comeback!
    return to work for the Comex show then disappeared for 3 months.
    well, i was preparing for the trip to pangkor island, later the maths carnival and eventually fell ill.
    dave (one of the dealers) ask if i heard some stuff, that why i go away.
    he told me that my follow colleagues said i changed, the dealers too..
    they said i become more mature, along with the way i speak.
    at least you dont see me jumping around like a monkey.
    i guess it is a compliment.
    but i shant take his words too seriously, they aint all the time true.

    oh yar, i heard about this curse in the dealer shop where im located.
    it was impossible for them to sell more than 3 sets on a weekend or PH.
    im shocked seriously.

    i could easily sell at least 5 sets on a weekend or PH a year ago,
    something is wrong out there.
    i am then determine to break this curse..

    last weekend was bad, the curse came true.
    sold 3 sets on saturday and only 1 pathetic set on sunday, could have went bonkers for that.
    not for now, times has changed.
    on sunday, i barely spoke to 10 seems-to-be interested buyers,
    half of them told me "they will discuss it with their children at home and come back again".
    oh well, there goes another one.
    still i'm grateful that i have at least 10 person to talk to,
    that kills all kind of boreness and time flies faster that way.

    and finally, i made it on children's day!
    the crowd came later around 3-4pm.
    slowly yet steadily i close my deals.
    some were convinced by my sales speech,
    some were just too spolit for choices but gave me their support,
    my dealers helped me too.
    i broke that curse with a record of 5 sets.
    i will be back for more!

    there would be nothing to rejoice for if i am always late.
    at least i reach earlier than the previous time.
