HELLO GUYS! =)

Today was a great great day for me... after close to FIVE DAYS just sitting home doing nothing, i was sooo ready to go back to school and therefore, today was fun despite me having lectures.. I MISSED MY FRIENDS! my class... i missed them all, so it was nice to see them again and do our usual stuff like teasing, crapping, having fun etc.


They are the people that make lectures fun... They are like the colours of the rainbow that brighten up the sky for me, for without them, lectures would just be black and white, plain and boring.. yawns...


SO AFTER CHEM AND PHYSICS, i went out with angela and qiu jing to have lunch! Actually it was 10 am, but dont mind the time, we had lunch anyways after dearest cass pangseh-ed us... We wanted to eat prata but decided, nvm, lets eat lunch, and guess what, we spent 10 minutes STANDING at the whole array of food spread out for us as we didnt know what to eat.. for the first time, we encountered this.. Usually when we go out, the food will not be so visually nice so we will have no choice eliminating, BUT today was different, up to the point the auntie was pretty humoured at us.. =P


As we had lunch, we chatted about lotza stuff, really things under the sun like our friends, our class, our friend's friends and MANY others.. HAHA! i was not expecting us to sit there for two hours and chat.. In fact, i was expecting we'd run out of topics after one hour as the three of us, i think, have the same noise level and the noisemaker went home, BUT ALAS, we survived and chatted for TWO HOURS!


That wasnt the end, we bought bubble tea and walked back to school and chatted again, thus that makes a THREE HOUR lunch session.. WHEE NEW RECORD! =) Angela, Qiu Jing, I had fun today..


Sadly the fun was interrupted as I was called for chemistry remedial from 1 pm to 3 pm... Its not the thing that bothered me, rather the fact that I'm ALONE with charan without the rest of my classmates.. it made the two hours just, boring AND irritating.. actually ok lah, thank god i had izzah and charan or i would have just been bored there... haha...

OHH! and after that guess what I did... 7 rounds of the field and an hour at the GYM! hahaha... im out to torture myself after soo long not exercising... TIME TO GET FIT AND BUILD THOSE MUSCLES ZUL! Now that promos are over, yes i have lots of time to do things like that despite having others, but i'll make sure i never neglect my fitness and conditioning to enable me to become healthier and more fit! =)


also guess what I've been up to yesterday.. DRAWING! so not me, i've not drawn in perhaps, two or three years, but yesterday I just decided I wanted to do drawing.. Sooo i picked up a picture from the TODAY newspaper sports section on soccer and this is the final result...









What do u think?? OK?? hahaaa... I know the people look pretty weird but hmm, IVE BEEN DRAWING LIKE THAT SINCE PRIMARY SCHOOL! perhaps i will try to learn how to be a better person drawer soon, but apart from that, OK?? I like the goalkeeper and the net and the scenery though... HAHA! wheee... =)

HELLO GUYS!

Wokie dokie, I'm finally back from the lunch 'date' I was telling you guys about.. Haha, it all started as I was surfing this Islamic website during the fasting month of Ramadhan and I came across this website aimed at youths for them to ask questions regarding their religion and practices..Its more like a website for them to ask the questions they are shy to ask other people in person and would like to get the answer to....

So hmm, in one of the sections, there was a contest whereby they post topics relating the current trends of the malay community and all I had to do to try win a special invite to lunch with the three malay celebrities was to post my thoughts and comments and if mine was interesting and insightful enough, I'd win it! Soo yup, I commented on the question regarding globalization and guess what, I WON! =)

I got to bring along with me a friend so after some time, I decided to ask my good friend in class Haziq along.. I think I made the right choice ehh?? someone i can relate to, someone I can talk to, someone I can get along with and most importantly, someone who enjoyed this whole session!

For today, after the arrival of the three guests, they talked about current trends and perceptions of the muslim malay community regarding some issues and how it can be pretty wrong to think so at times..

The first guest was Imran abdul rahman, a national silat player for singapore who won lots of gold medals for singapore during competitions like the ASEAN and SEA games... WOW! I remember being very amazed by this guy since I was 14 as i was flipping through the newspaper reading about his achievements...Others, especially malays, make name through sports like football and others, but isnt it a wonder how Imran Abdul Rahman chose to go alongside a more traditional route and take up silat instead?? Wow, simply admirable of him I think...

As for what he talked about, he was telling us about all his achievements as well as his life story and why he chose to take up silat instead of other more well known sports like soccer.. He also stated that as an athlete, he has encountered his own fair share of setbacks and obstacles to get to where he is now, a gold-winner for many events... Hmm, I remember him telling us sometimes he has to gain 20 kg in a period of 3 months and on the contrary, sometimes he has to LOSE 10 kg in three weeks as part of his jobscope... HAHA! i see eyes popping now, but THATS SERIOUSLY the case... cool ehh??? Besides, he revealed to have to train almost 3 times a day to keep his physique as he is an athlete.. From this, it shows that u need LOTS and LOTS of discipline to become an athlete like him.. I'd better start being disciplined and go on my routines and watch what I eat if i wanna be like him.. =) But his most remembered advice was that if you wanna succeed, you have got to have the hunger and passion for something or it will never become a success... REMEMBER THIS GUYS!

NExt up was singer songwriter imran ajmain... Well, to be frank, I wasnt that a fan of him or so as compared to the other two, but hmm after his speech today I must say I was pretty impressed.. He shared with us his experience as a singer songwriter and how his dad wasnt very approving of his job at first.. His dad used to be a music start and he said its not a good way to bring food to the table, BUT imran ajmain proved to his dad that it was a decent way and that being a singer songwriter is not as bad as it seems..
His speech was about being a singer songwriter and he told us of his love for newfound talents as he loved to scout for new talents and give them chances to be recognized and appreciated for what they do best. He also told us that as a singer songwriter, he believes that it is a good thing and that we should not keep to ourselves. For example, if one is a person good at writing poems and all, imran ajmain believes that this person should not keep and compile a whole book to himself as such poems can actually be used to make music and all, cause in his words, the poems we write may seem pretty boring and useless to us, BUT it may help someone change his life and act as a lesson for him..

He also shared with us regarding his method of dealing with anger and stress, which is through blogging. As a singer songwriter, of course imran ajmain has had rumours about him, and he says that whenever he gets mad or upset over anything at all, he turns to his blog as he is a pretty expressive person. He never stops to check and edit his words like some of us to as we blog, but rather he just continues typing throughout and will then slowly edit his blog post as he feels that through this process, we practice responsibility and at the same time express what our mind really feels..

Finally was deejay Fiza-O! For her turn, this deejay shared about her experiences on air and all.. First and foremost, she helped to clear the misconception that being a radio deejay is an easy job as it is NOT true that the job of radio deejays is to go on air and just talk and then go home or go out after the session ends.. The job of a radio deejay is WAY more taxing than that and she shared with us that after her on air session, she often has to work till late nights before she can go home every day as there is lots of things she has to do.

She also shared with us her joys and problems as a radio deejay. AS a radio deejay, although she seems like the happy go lucky girl she acts as on air, she says this is not usually her true self as when u become a radio deejay, when you go on air, you have to leave your problems behind and act as if everything is ok and just please your audience. Of course, this can be pretty tough, and Fiza O also mentioned how sometimes she gets affected by emails of complains from people saying they are being tortured or so, or even worst, people wanting to end their lives due to teeny weeny details such as breaking up with their other half and so... Thus as a deejay, she has to act as a counsellor and that can be pretty tough sometime she says, and that it has made her appreciate life a lot more, knowing that she is probably lucky not to be going through such emotional turmoils...

Of all the three, I think Fiza-O opened the most and she also stated that being in this line is not easy, especially with the constant spread of rumours regarding her, like she is a party girl, she flirts constantly with boys, smoke, is a bad example and others... SHe did tell us that she felt affected sometimes, but have nowadays learnt to control herself and just ignore such stuff as she knows this is what you get by being in such a line..

However, she also stated that her job as a radio deejay is very fulfilling, espeically by the many emails and SMSes she receives from people who tell her that she rocks, or that she made their day, or that she has helped them overcome certain obstacles.. =)

For me, I got to ask them a question and I asked them why they feel the malay muslim community is not open and accepting towards jobs such as radio deejays and singer songwriter and I was told that it is basically due to the mindset of the older generation who tend to look upon this line based on what they see on Hollywood tv, which is so not true...

AS such, I think I have learnt alot today... It was a very inspiring and educational session for me, and I am glad that I won the special invite for this section.. For me, radio deejaying is something I might get myself involved in, apart from being a teacher, and as such, it was nice listening to the celebrities as they give us a peek into their personal lives...

So to conclude, lemme just blog about what I feel regarding my community... I dunno why, but I feel that our community is gaining media spotlight and is topping the charts for all the wrong reasons, such as drugs and all... We are very judgemental on others and one thing I find quite striking is that we refuse to change our mindset regarding certain issues like the field of entertainment and science. Personally I feel sad that this is happening to us, however this does not mean that we succumb to it and give up, cause I feel that we can be just as good as the others.. Learn to be more open and accepting towards new things and mindsets such as technology and entertainment and MANY OTHERS, and I am pretty sure we will be able to evolve into a better community, something I feel we are DEFINITELY capable of only if we put in the effort.. =)

So to top things off, here are the 3 pictures I took today!


Here's me and deejay Fiza O.. soo much I learnt from her today.. =) OH! and she also said that she couldnt speak proper malay for a while as she mingled around more with the other racial communities and spoke english more,but later on took up malay courses to refine her malay and LOOK WHERE SHE IS NOW! a radio deejay of a malay station and she speaks malay fluently.. hehe perhaps one day I can be like her =)

A PICTURE OF ME AND IMRAN ABDUL RAHMAN! =) URGH! the reflection and my specs IS SO IRRITATING LA! i think i look weird.. do i?? haha... Anywasy, To me, he's definitely my role model, ever since young I had wanted to meet this guy as he just is pretty different from other people to me. Well, I'm glad I got my chance today! =) He's successful, won lotza gold medals for singapore, and I sure HOPE that i can be something like him in the future.. He's humble, friendly and has many other qualities I wish I'd have too both mentally and internally... Haha, in terms of physical wise, he's goodlooking and muscular! thats just an added bonus for me to be able to use him as a motivation for me to EXERCISE myself off to make sure I become muscular and perhaps goodlooking too one day HAHA, but never mind that, the main thing is that I really hope I'd have the qualities and charisma and determination like this guy suited to be a role model... Dont u guys think soo?? =P
AND THIS PICTURE is the final picture I took with all three celebrities.. Just FYI, the guy at the end (your right) is imran ajmain.. didnt actually take a picture with him as he was pretty hot stuff with others, but never mind, perhaps some other time... =) Oh, and haziq is next to imran ajmain... the guy I brought along for this...
DO HAZIQ AND I LOOK ALIKE?? haha it was weird for us, as some people looked at us and asked us if we were twin brothers or brothers at least as to them, we look alike... HAHA! not one, not two said this... every single person I talked to during that seminar asked me and him the EXACT same question... when we told them we were classmates, they were amazed... hehe, funny ehh?? so do we look alike?? they also said both of us could pass of as chinese... =)

HELLO ALL!

As I'm writing this, I just wanna say... PW IS OVER!

yes, after soo many months of hard work, sweat, sleepless nights, stress, its all finally over...

So for this entry, I shall dedicate it as a tribute to PW as I look back at my PW journey

It all started off with:

PRELIMINARY IDEAS
wow this was quite tough to do, especially since I had a good mind to do the second task.. We were given two tasks, either groundbreakers or entertainment.. I remember for the first PI my WHOLE class chose groundbreakers and I was the only one who chose to do a PI on entertainment radio... Well, this kinda caused my downfall as my teacher deemed my topic a little too narrow and asked me to consider choosing groundbreakers.. So in the end I chose to do a PI on Nils Bohlin and his invention of seatbelt.. so guess what? It turned out GREAT and I'm glad to say, after sitting down with our individual PIs, my group chose to embark on my project with Nils Bohlin as our chosen groundbreaker! =)

GPP
This one was pretty easy to do.. My teacher said it was not graded as part of PW, so guess what, we just ANYHOW did this aspect of PW.. hahaha... Not really anyhow la, just we didnt really make too much effort polishing it as we were too busy concentrating on our WR...

WR
Written report, possibly the toughest and most tiring aspect of PW... for this, we had to come up with a proposal for our group project on how to showcase our groundbreaker and on our first attempt, we produced a 20 page proposal... It took 3 drafts, many consultations and LOTS of rectifying jobs later till we bid farewell to WR... It eventually increased to 37 pages! WOW! im actually impressed with our WR though I have no idea how well we did for this aspect of PW.. hehehe... Its pretty impossible to judge, reallY!

EOM
Apart from WR, this has GOT to be the worst and most irritating individual piece of assignment. for this aspect, we had to find a good article and evaluate it in terms of its usefulness, reliability and how it helped us in our project.. I didnt really know what to do for this part and I had to redo mine for a total of 3 times.. I just dont see the point in this... HAHA! especially with a word limit of 600 words!

I&R
This one was another pretty weird section. Its called INSIGHTS AND REFLECTIONS so I was kinda looking forward to it as I loved reflecting and writing down my journey thus far, but it all came crashing down when I found out the maximum number was only 5oo words.. ITS CALLED INSIGHTS AND REFLECTION FOR A REASON, and WE DIDNT GET TO DO THAT! instead we had to like... propose better solutions to what we might have done differently and not too much on what we have learnt.. some I&R that was... This one was pretty pointless too...

OP
WHEE! i loved Op seriously.. it was fun creating the PPT slides and editing them and practicing lotza times as we presented our idea to the accessors.. I THINK ALL OF US DID WELL FOR THIS SECTION... cause, we didnt refer to our cue cards and we engaged the audience well enough.. WHEE! U GUYS ROCK! our skit and videos went well too and although our whole presentation was disrupted by the interference of the smartboard THREE times, we cant be blamed so i hope the accessors didnt penalize us for that! =) Overall, i think we deserve at least a 5 for group effectiveness hehe...

Q AND A
Questions and answer session!! Cant really prepare for this but for this aspect we were asked questions related to our project and based on what we replied, we'll be graded.. HMM! U know, the question they asked me was soo straightforward and there was absolutely NO way to elaborate so i dunno how to bag the highest score for this section with that question. They are: Do you think your target group of 5-10 years old kids will visit your blog, AND will your blog be permenant for showcase? SOO, it was a short and sweet question, as some others got more interesting questions like: Do you feel singaporeans nowadays lack AIDS awareness? with that, I certainly hope they were looking for confidence as we answered our question as I did portray a confident image as I answered my question =) Hope it went well! hehe.. my group did pretty well too!

So with that, in order of which section I enjoyed most to which section I hated most...
1) OP and Q&A!
2) PI
3) WR
4) GPP
5) I&R
6) EOM!

I would like to thank everyone who has made this journey very memorable for me, especially NY034... YINDY RENANDA LINGMING RACHEL YOU GUYS ROCK!

Its pretty weird too now that PW is over, and I must say it will be a memorable event for me in years to come, as I look back on the stressful nights, the fun I had with my classmates watching DVDs, going to the pasar malams and staying up late..

I also would like to thank our PW teacher Ms Lee for pushing us to our limits to make sure we achieve the best! Of course, sometimes I feel really stressed under her as she made me go through countless PW consultations and countless REDOs to make sure my project went well, but now I feel that we only have got her to thank. She did this ALL for us, and yes i really do feel that we all owe it to her that we performed very well for OP! =) I was really touched too when she dropped by each and every single group in 0706 before our OP exam to make a group cheer and cheer us on.. THANKS LOADS MISS LEE!!

So with this, I will have to say that I'll really cherish all the fond memories I had with everyone this year especially during our PW lessons...

Its been a great time with you all, and to PW, goodbye to you and hope we'll cross paths again... NOT! HAHA!
