Hello, welcome to my blog! I love what I do, who I am. And I like to make people laugh, because it makes me happy. Heehee.

Leaving class soon to go for the Samsung press event. whoohoo!

Hello bloggy.

I think I should start updating my blog regularly. I mean, it could serve as a good purpose if I write meaningful stuff.

That's the first thing I learnt from the Samsung YOG Journalist Programme.

Today, I was on my way to the shuttle bus pick-up point, and I was crossing the road when a young lady next to me was texting while crossing the road.

Well that really disturbed me.

Maybe my new-found hobby of people-watching has caused this, but I realise that on the streets, quite a lot of people like to sms while booyashaking, taking their own sweet grandmother's time to cross the road.

Like hello, you are risking your own life.

So I make it a point now to keep my eyes on the road, not the phone screen, while crossing the road.

Okay, enough said.

Today, I went to school early. At around 9.30, Matt Kuek, She-ler, Theon and I took a taxi to Unity Sec for... my first career booth!

It was really fun, quite slow traffic for lower sec recess, but it got rather hectic during upper sec recess.

Then I rushed back for project work. After that, I was supposed to do filming, but we met with some problems. Chun Hui also asked me to do ambass duty last min, so I went to the CC.

Ushered some sec sch kids to Admissions Talk, then went back to Ambs room.

Late lunch / dinner with sis, Malcolm, Wei Ting, Wilson Tan and Jun Xiang at canteen 2, then went back ambs room. slack around, blah blah.

okay that was my day :)

Hello bloggy.

This week has been really exhausting, mentally and physically.

On Monday, someone from Samsung called to say that I had been selected for an interview on Friday. I had poly experience then, so I told the person that I couldn't make it, could I go on another day? But nope, and I understood what he meant, like I shouldn't expect people to reschedule just for my sake.

So I talked to Wei Long about it, and he gave me really good advice and support, and with fortunately Sean allowed me to pull out of Friday's poly exp, and eventually I decided I really wanted to do poly exp, so I changed to Thursday.

Tues, we received our dreamweaver results, I scored 100% so I was feeling really good about it. And there wasn't korean class that day, so I spent time slacking in the Ambs room. Basically I like to slack in the Ambs room whenever I'm free. It's like second nature you know?

anyway wed was lecture day, blah blah. nothing much lah.

thurs was poly exp! i was really glad i was insistent in helping out, because it was a really good experience. funny how it was supposed to be an experience for the sec sch kids, but it turned out to be an experience for me.

i learnt to get out of my comfort zone, speak up, talk about what i like to talk about. it's like talking to a friend though you hardly know these kids.

and after the whole event, as if we weren't already exhausted,
wen yih, iqbal, chester, syad, jervis, amar, deborah, denise, ernest, wilson lai, ben and i went to KAP macs to eat late dinner. and as if the polar refreshments weren't already filling.

but hey, it was the company that made it really worth it.

and on friday, i headed to samsung hub for the interview. they said i had a high chance of getting in. i was really really happy for once, and i felt that this was one of the best interviews i've ever had. like that feeling of certainty that you've already nailed it, hooray.

saturday, i watched eclipse with my mom, after so many months after the last movie i watched (sherlock holmes)

and halfway through the movie, my phone vibrated.
The lady from Digital brew (the company contracted by Samsung for the YOG Mobile Experience Programme) called to tell me that I was selected. And that there was a torch relay that we are participating.

like whoa, first YOG and I'm doing a TORCH RELAY.

I'm really excited, and yeah, it seems that phone call made Rob P look a little less ugly (sorry Team Edward, I'm pro-Jacob)

so that's about it.

(:

Hello wello pello.

I just filled up an application form for a Samsung Mobile Experience Programme, where 20 youth journalists from China and Korea will be coming to Singapore during the Youth Olympic Games.

I really hope I get selected, because it's a really good experience and good exposure to people from other countires!

okay, it's rather late and I have school tomo.. Good night!

Hello bloggy! (:

Yes I know I sound like I'm in a good mood. Cos I am!

Heh I received a call today from Student Services Office, saying that I was awarded the NP Scholarship. And it felt like a heavy burden was lifted off my shoulder.

I realise that when I set goals for myself, I cannot take failure. I remember how depressed I felt when I thought I didn't get the scholarship.

Consequences of being a 'C' personality, I suppose. Can't take criticism and failure.

Anyway, I was having a rather emo day today.

Woke up with a slight fever, flu and a very bad cough. Lazed around a while before going to school.

Locvid was fun, as usual. Gracomm was well, boring. I thought I would at least get shortlisted for the NDP logo thing, but no I didn't get anything. Oh well.

Marcomm was okay, rather dry though. 30 pages of notes on IMC and advertising my gosh.

For medsoc, we had MDA speaking to us about Video Games classification! It was quite fun, and nice to joke around with Rachel Phay.

Then I went to the ambass room. This was my favourite part of the day, because before I went in, I saw the missed call from SS and so I called them. Then when I went in, I felt so welcome and it was really heartwarming.

We took a few Polaroid pics, really good memories.

Okay tata!

Hello :)

I've done a bit of work, and a bit of slacking today.

Just here to share something.

Last thursday (10/6), we had our media in society debate. My group members were Louis, Dom, Carmen and Val.

Our notion was :

The media influences society more than it reflects it.

And we were the opposition!

Heh it was really fun, I thought both groups were really well-prepared.
And at the end of everything, we had to vote for the best speaker.

I voted for Louis cos I thought there were some things he said that were really interesting. Like, "by the way, if you didn't know that, it shows how much the media really influences society".

I got a few votes, which made me really happy cos I've never been voted best speaker.

So anyway, great job everyone :)

Back to doing my web gra web template.
