Yay, I am posting here for the first time ever.
How be everyone doing? Still civically engaged? Hope so.
Special hello to our friends in Vietnam, Laos, China, Indonesia and the Philippines! ( did I miss out any country?)
Hope you guys are doing alright - continue the good work, and know that it is all for the betterment of lives - ours and others.
Here's a very very inspiring video that I watched recently, and I think as Civic Engagement people, everyone should at least be aware of this as well.
Check it out.

Anyhow, that's all from me for now - cheerio, take care everybody!

What a day...

Yeps peeps! It's saturday and I bet it's been super for more than a few of ya...sure has been for mua! Cos i managed to get my hw done and started revision. All people taking a-levels should start clearing up backlog now!

Hey sam, about yr post on thoughts of the future, i guess it really depends on what you'll love doing. Scholarship IS important but not the most essential. Or else what'd I have been thinking of when I took up CLL (a subject I am still trying to grasp)? Well, I must have made that decision out of overconfidence cos I thot being a 6-pointer and all, the other subjects would be manageable.

Truth is, none of them are. I guess it really isn't too important to do super today cos due to the crazy varsity squeeze, outstanding's all too often just average. I mean, look at the lean mean Ivy-League Machine that some of our RJ ppl are in...well, it's still your passion that matters.

I guess I've found mine in both social work and sciences...pity i didn't take econs or any humanities subs studying social trends. CLL? I guess I've learnt 2 important lessons from it: 1. Adversity brings out our best. 2. The writers with the saddest lives are often the best!

Muz read up more on Chinese hist if I'm to better grasp CLL. Anyway, enough about me! Now for the RCLF outing we had!

Had to skip the CHC event so met Sam, Gill and Kahmin at TM, pizza hut. Peng WAS NOT THERE. We so wanted to scold him publicly over the phone but he cleverly kept himself nicely uncontactable. Very smart guy.

The pizzas were good but the conversation was better...wait, what'd we talk about?? Oh yes, about whether we wanna study in Sg or overseas, whether sam's chinese results should have been better, whether gill was the sporty type, and whether tuition helps. Oh yea, Kahmin had to leave earlier cos of tuition. (Hope the pizzas were good and made your tuition friends envious! :P)

Actually sometimes I don't think I'm portraying myself as real as who I'm in front of you guys. It was really fun when we first met and RCLF was still on, but it's become a little boring and I'm running out of interesting things to say (haha). We gotta find sometime to do something fun, all together!

Amazing Race in Escape Theme Park anyone??

Cheers and Happy weekend,
Jerome =)

HELLO people!

how's life?
hope you're enjoying whatever you've been up to be it studying, working, just living life.

i had career guidance day on friday and inevitably the question of the future and what it entails came to mind.

with the onslaught of pre A's mugging (there goes our social life!)
the next two years are gonna zoom right past us just like that.
then comes UNIVERSITY *gasp and with that brings so many questions

where do i wanna do it?
which uni should i go to?
should i go overseas?
can i afford it?
will i be able to get in?
should i even consider trying for a scholarship?

personally it's been a dream to study overseas for me, exploring different cultures and getting to know the world beyond this teeny weeny lil red dot but that dream has always been an abstract idea and it's only NOW when i'm forced to contemplate the possiblity, that i realise nth's that simple. the whole idea of living on my own away from familiar faces is amazingly scary! lil things i've always taken for granted suddenly come into the spotlight. lil things like, i dunno, the issue of where to get bedsheets? yes my dears they dont just magically appear out of nowhere. haha

then of cos
there's the whole WHAT THE HELL AM I GONNA DO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE qns.

after much sleepless nights and mindfull wonderings,
i've narrowed it down to two things, i'm either gonna do law or business.

wow...seeing it all typed out like that feels so scarily surreal!.
lol

so anyway,
i'm sure many of you have your own ideas and opinions
ambitions and dreams.
do SHARE!

see you soon guys,
and hope life treats you well!=).

love,
sam.

Woots...first post by Jerome! [applause pls]
