CommonVoice performance tonight was great!! Those who went to their concert the last time and compare it to today's, one will be able to see a improvement in their performance!! They have all grown and mature into a cohesive group of wonderful chorale singers and I am so happy and proud of them!! Although some may argue that it is still a very small production, i.e., not able to perform at bigger stages like Victoria Concert Hall or Esplanade, but people tends to forget that CommonVoice does not have any financial help from any sponsors or even our old school, Commonwealth Secondary. CommonVoice was form by ex-students of Commonwealthian due to their love and passion for music. If you are someone who sees and listens with your heart, you will be able to feel that kind of love and passion burning in them. Being old Commonwealthian, I feel a sense of immense pride when I see them perform, puting in their heart and soul into it. They have come a long way and its still trying its best to continue to grow. Who says one needs to be perform at the big stage to be consider as good? And who dares to say that one day, CommonVoice won't be performing in the so call big stages? That day will come. I have total faith in that!!
It was also pleasing to see so many of my old friends during the concert. Juniors, seniors, classmates and even friends who are supposedly from another social circle of friends were here. Haha!! Talk about a small small world. Saw my JC classmate who is the bf of my Commonwealth school mate!! Pei Yih was there too!! Even Winnie wasn't spare from the "disease"!! She met her JC's seniors during the concert. And here come the funny part... Qiu Jie, my cousin who was one of the performer, was actually also her senior during her JC's days. She didn't realise it until she
saw Qiu Jie up close after the concert is over!! Maybe the time she spent with me has resulted in this kind of contagious coincidence being caught onto her too!! Haha!! After the concert was over, many of them has asked me to come back and joined back CommonVoice. To be truth, I'm really moved and is giving the invitation some serious consideration. I've being out of the choir circle for so long, and although my passion is still burning strong, I'm not sure if I have the time to commit. I would hate to leave them a second time due to committment reasons again...

Its a saturday morning as I begin this blog. Feeling really refresh and full of energy!! Its nice to feel this way for a change. For the past few weeks, (maybe even months...) I'm always busy with something and all the late nights have taken a toll on me. NDP, NTUSD O&G meeting, assignments, work, new job... everything seems to be coming fast and furiously. Although I can honestly said that I enjoyed being involved and taking part in all those activities (yes, even in doing assignments!!), there comes a time when the body need to take a rest. And today is the day!! Finally I can wake up feeling fresh after a early night sleep, and there is nothing for the rest of the day that requires me to rake my brain or put me in worry mode. Now I just need to look forward to go out with Winnie tonight and attend the choir concert by CommonVoice. Nothing like a good concert to unwind after weeks of rush and dash!!

Today is my official appointment as CIC in NTUSD!! It was annouced at the nationwide SD meeting held today at TBSC. Not just the announcement of the new leadership appointment among the various instiution, the meeting also marks the graduation of SD joint-chief and vice-chief and various IICs, all great, compassionate and helpful seniors leaders in SSA student divison. It was a disappointment that I do not have the opportunity to work closely with these wonderful leaders in SD, but I'm sure the way they showed us their strong determination and fighting spirit for konsen-rufu will become a guiding light for all us new and current leaders and each and every members in SD. Moreover, we all have great faith in our newly appointed senior leaders and hopefully together, we can create new milestones for SD!!
To all the graduating leaders of SD, thank you so much for your guidances in the past and we will always remember all of you as our great comardes, caring big brothers and big sisters in our quest of konsen-rufu.
To all my fellow CICs and IICs, a great path of challenges is ahead of us. But with all of your assuring shoulders to depend on, I'm sure together, we can create happiness and growth within ourselves and also spreading it to every single youthful and vibrant lives in SD!!
To all the members of NTUSD, please forgive me if I make any mistakes along the way as I trod along this new and unknown path as a CIC in NTUSD. Accepting this role is a great honour but also a frightening responsibility for me. Let's work together and inspire one another!! Let's magnifest the oneness of mentor and disciple spirit and work towards our Sensei's utimate goal of world peace and true happiness in each and every human being. Every single step means we are that one step closer to that goal, regardless how small that step may be. We must make full use of the precious and limited time we have at SD and contribute as much as possible to fulfil our mentor's dream. Rememeber, every little effort counts!!
To Red and Sihui, both of you did a wonderful job as MCs for the SD meeting!! Thank you so much for adding so much fun and joy into our lives!! 你们棒极了!!
(Sorry, today's blog entry will be a slighly longer than usual =D )
After the meeting, went over to my cousin, Qiu Jie's, 21st birthday bash. Met up with a lot of old friends and also some surprise meeting with friends whom I did not know that are accquaintances of Qiu Jie too. I also get the chance to catch up with my relatives whom, regretfully, I have not been meeting up with as much as I would have like to. There are so many people there that taking photographs became quite a hassle!! Like most 21st birthday bash for a guy, there were the usual pranks like cream-on-face and throwing the birthday boy into swimming pool!! Fun!! Haha!! I would have love to post the pictures here but its would really take a long time for me to upload it here on my blog :p
是心有灵心,
还是纯属巧合?
你与我虽隔两地,
陪伴着个自的朋友,
但却不约而同地
在不一样地地点,
享用了一样的食品。
是心有灵心,
还是纯属巧合?
我不知道,
但感觉很奇妙,很窝心。
你是否也和我有相同的感觉呢?
如果真的和我一样,
那又是心有灵心,
还是纯属巧合呢?:p

缤纷响亮的烟花,
绽放在狮城的夜空。
色彩夺目,
它感动了众人的心。
在那如此美丽的夜晚,
我这醉翁之意却不在酒。
我是真的被感动了。
我的心的确是喜悦的。
但让我如此心花怒放,
有如这一晚的夜空,
不是那精彩无比的烟花表演,
而是默默陪在我身边的你。
谢谢你给了我一个难忘的回忆。
我将永远记得这一晚的烟花,
因为它记载着
属于我俩的甜蜜与感动。

Went to school today to find out more about the knotty situation after learning that Monash University decided to discontinue their relationship with TMC and stop any enrollment as of effect from today. This could have meant that I may not be able to complete my studies in Singapore. Luckily when I went to school today, they have ensured us that it will have minimal impact on us as we still be able to complete our studies in Singapore, abeit on the progress table they will plan for us, meaning we have to clear everything in a given time frame. Probably the best possible outcome we could have hope... Now have to see if the progress table planned for me will be of any problem for me.
When I first learnt the news from Jerlin, I immediately called Lydia. Again, she is more positive than me. Always has been I guessed!! Haha!! Although she did admit that she has no mood to do assignment that day...
P.S. Was really touched when she decide to come down especially to meet me and go to school with me after learning about my situation. It meant a lot to me... And no, I'm not talking about you, Lydia!! :p

Today was an extremely busy and packed day for me. Although it is the enjoyable and fun kind of busy and packness!!
Leave home early for school. Was actually dreading to go to school 'cause the prof for my current module today is the same person who taught me financial modelling during my summer semester and it was a nightmare experience!! I cannot understand a single thing he was teaching then and I only managed to get a credit for the module through my own self-study, Lydia's great assistance and also lots and lots of chanting. Although I only took one module then, it was without a doubt the worst semester that I've ever endured even up to now. It was one hell of a struggle and I'm still amazed that I actually pull it through... Maybe Calvin was right when he said that I seems to be always on a fortune overflow!! Wonder what great deeds I've done in my previous life that gifted me with such good fortune in this lifetime?? Thank a million, my previous-life!!
Anyway, I think you can understand my dismay when I knew I'm gonna get this prof again. But I still went for the tutorial today, praying hard that the prof have the wisdom to teach and I have the wisdom to understand what he taught. And really surprisingly, during the tutuorial, I was finally able to grasp what he was actually teaching!! That was definitely a first and it gives me great hope for this module.
After the lesson, I rushed straight down to SYC to meet up with the rest of O&G committee memebers who were already there since 9am to prepare for the O&G meeting at 3pm later on. This was the first time that I'm involved in a cultural activity as a committee member and it was quite a refreshing experience. I kinda like the behind-the-scene work for a change. Haha!! Although I was a tad bit disappointed when I learnt that they changed our ideas (I was the game IC together with Yong Kang and Peiyih) for the game, but seeing everyone enjoying themselves during the game was a very satisfying compensation as we have achieve our goal of letting everyone enjoy themselves. Was especially touched by Wee Heng's testimonial during the O&G. Hearing how she shed tears of joy to overcome great difficulties to finally able to enshrine Gohonzon makes me so envious and happy for her. Always questioning myself, when will my turn comes...
Overall, it was a great success with 70 members and new friends coming together to celebrate the graduation of our seniors in NTU and also to welcome the NTU freshies to our NTUSD big family. (still feel a bit strange saying that as you all know I've NEVER studied in NTU before!! Haha!!) After that we had our dinner together at Pasir Panjang Food Centre opposite SYC. Unfortunately, the Soka University students wasn't able to join us for the dinner. It would have been a great opportunity to get to know them better. Maybe next time bah... :)
After dinner, together with Julius, Ben and Dave, we rushed down to Guizhen auntie's house for our Family Day planning. Its enriching to be involved in district planning, always being inspired by my district leaders' drive and passion for the organisation and our district memebers. There's still so much I need to learn, to put into practice, to become a useful person to my family, to my fellow friends and comrades, to SSA as an organisation, to the society. It makes me feel small yet at the same time, drive me to achieve more in the future...
One addition happy thing today - receive a sms reply that brings much joy to me. It has been a long, long, time since I last experience this kind of joy... :)

Started my first day at work yesterday in terrible fashion. Was getting sored throat and running nose. Come noon, my body is getting weightless as it fought hard to curb the fever. At least my new colleagues has been nice and friendly to me. My new supervior, Karen, even offered me pills after knowing I'm not feeling well and luckily for me, it really helped me to pull through the day.
This is without a doubt the biggest company I've ever worked for. It brings me a kind of excitement which I have not felt for quite some time. And if the first two days of work is a good guide, I'm once again blessed with great colleagues!! (Just like what Wendy-J wished for me!!) They are all very welcoming and make sure that I'm comfortable in my new work environment. They are helpful and patient with all my questions and quries. But more importantly, I sense a easy and relaxed working culture among my colleagues. They don't get agitated over things that doesn't goes smoothly and can even joke about it!! Feel that I'm gonna enjoy my stay there.
P.S. Hey, Wendy-J, I missed your blog terribly!! It used to be a must-see for me everyday. Not being able to read it now seems kind of weird... Looking forward to you returning to blogging once again!!
