The posts in this blog are the compilation off some posts from my old blog which is I have already closed down.
Most of the posts featured my life in hall as an Eusoffian, but others are just some of my random thoughts and a tiny glimpse of my personal life. And I know my posts are unbearably wordy... so... enjoy reading. =P
Also, do note that my grammar, spelling and vocabulary is not really very fantastic, so please pardon me for all the errors in the posts.
I guess that is all I have to say for now. Thanks. =)

B Block Talentime Performance
We won the Best Block Performance for Eusoff Hall Talentime! I guess I shall let the video do the talking. I am the guy doing the coins and pipe by the way. =)
Hope everyone enjoyed our performance. =D

A Long Absence...
It seemed like I have totally forgotten about this poor little blog of mine. Life has been a little too hectic and I realized that I can no longer write sensitive or personal stuff on this blog on mine anymore because simply there are too many people who claim they are "concern" about my life and many others who have too much pride to take my personal comments.
Really sorry to my dear friends who are using my blog as your source of entertainment or as an honest perspective on the happenings around my life. Please do MSN me to get updates from me nowadays, if it ever works properly in Hall ever again.
Just finished FlyBar's performance in Central Forum just now for the Hall Bazaar, and immediately after the performance, there was 2 request for Audioworks to set up the sound system for their bazaar and functions. I wouldn't say the sound today was good, but it did some justice to our outdoor system considering the echoes bouncing off the stairs and interfering with the output sound. Kudos to Chee Eng and EE Wuen for manning the mixer. No major flaws, which means a good start for the future of Audioworks.
Time is running out and I am positive that there is no time for me to pass down everything to my juniors; kind of left my Senior Advisor down here. But I guess I have to accept that fact and just do my best. I realized that my juniors are to dependent on the seniors for guidance and does not take enough responsibility for their work. So I am just going to "watch" from now onwards, because it is time they start holding it out on their own. Fundamentals are thought to them and now it all boils down to their talent. I also have been a lot stricter and harsh on the members, because time is running out, and it is time to give them a wake up call to start solving their own problems.
Speaking from a fair point of view, EusoffWorks members are more well trained, take better ownership and have more pride on their work. However what is lacking is confidence. Administration wise, EusoffWorks has made a quantum leap, but it is still far from perfect by my standards, but then if it is good enough then it is good enough. Joshua still lacks the qualities of a seasoned and mature leader, but I think it is only fair if I give him time. Although I still can't comprehend why he "fights for Eusoff Hall", but the passion he has will bring him a long way I am sure. But which leads to another problem, he has too many passions which results him getting himself into various commitment issues.
EVC-MINDS has just received an Outstanding Contributor's Award from MINDS. It sort of made a laughing stock of EVC for scrapping MINDS off our service list. And it is also sad and disheartening to hear someone say EVC-MINDS actually does NOTHING. As pathetic as it may sound, but if one has to resort to using an award to prove that a voluntary group actually does work, then so be it. Some who are still passionate about EVC-MINDS might ask why as last year's coordinator, I did not fight for the defense of EVC-MINDS existence. All I can say is, I was just informed that the service is scrapped and I wasn't at all involved in the decision making process at all.
I guess I am one of the few people in EVC that has attended MINDS, SA, NUH(twice) and Elderly service. What I want to say is that every single of this service is as important and as meaningful as another. For people who has not been to other services claiming that they are useless just makes me despise those people.
I guess I shall stop here before people start getting sensitive again. =)

Eusoff Portal And Forum...
Just launched the Eusoff Portal and Forum yesterday. It all started from the Eusoffworks' Blog, then to JJ asking me to be Head of Computer Committee and then getting down to work.
So here it is, the result of our hard work. *Click On The Picture!*
Computer got a really good team this year. JJ and I are working really hard to form up this new committee which for the past many years has been in a horrible state. But the good thing is, this year, we manage to grab a couple of dedicated and capable freshmen which has already contributed much to the building of the Portal and Forum.
The Portal and Forum is mainly community driven, but I got a feeling that Eusoff is not a very IT-savvy Hall that is into online forums and portals. So all my Eusoffians friends reading this entry please participate in the forum and visit the portal!
With regards to Audioworks and Eusoffworks, as their Senior Advisor, I have condensed all the fundamentals of Audio System in the training program which I passed to the Committee; basically it is all my fundamental technical knowledge. Eusoffworks however has all my management and administration wisdom. I compiled a comprehensive SOP for Eusoffworks during the 3-month holiday and passed down all my templates to them.
I guess I am fair this way. It is really difficult to balance out my commitments in these 2 committees. If I work harder for either side, the other will complain. But that is not important anymore, because now I am going to work on Computer Committee.
Audioworks and Eusoffworks is stable and growing at the moment under the leadership of Andrew and Joshua. So now, I am going to embark on another journey to bring another screw-up committee in Eusoff Hall to its feet, the non-existent Eusoff Hall Computer Committee.
Year 1 it was Audioworks. Year 2 it was Eusoffworks. And now it is Computer Committee.

A Big Project...
I can feel the winds of freedom brushing past my invisible wings. Doing things without worries and guilt is really a good feeling.
I thought I would have more time literally doing nothing, but I was wrong. On my way back to after a wonderful dinner, I realized that I just got myself into a Big Project! A Big Project of Small Little Things.
When I know I am free, when people ask for help, I will offer my time more freely. They are not big favors, just little ones like getting a loaf of bread from a nearby supermarket.
When I know I am free, I will go around doing new things or engage in activities I always wanted to do. Small little things like going out with friends to have coffee or attempting or rather failing to make prata at my home kitchen.
Before I knew it, all these Small Little Things became A Big Project, and again, time is a luxury I no longer have; maybe I never had it in the first place.
Someone once told me that the direction that I used to heading in my journey to find happiness and a meaningful life is not the only direction I can go head, because there is joy in doing nothing as well. There must be wisdom in the "joy in doing nothing" but I am not wise enough to comprehend the deeper interpretations yet.
I have found happiness and fulfillment in the direction I headed, so now I am turning back and try to find and experience a different path. This path is more difficult then the previous, but at least I feel that I am making good progress.
I always like good challenges, but then if I keep this "hobby" up, then it is hard to find the "joy of doing nothing". Okay, my journey has just gotten more difficult. XD

Night...
I used to be so busy that I hardly had anytime to sleep. But now even without any responsibilities other then studying, I am still not getting enough sleep. So I thought about it on my way to lecture with Jit Vern (yes, I can talk to people and think about my own things at the same time) and I believe I found the answer.
I am not really sure if there are other sharing the same mentality as me, but I am actually having difficulties letting go of a wonderful and beautiful day. When things are all nice and pleasant, I just want to hold on to them. So I always have the tendency to stay awake, because the moment I sleep, the day would have ended and I will wake up in a new day.
There are many things I want to do, but even now when I actually have free time, there are still many things that I am unable to do, because there are just TOO MANY things I want to do! Greed is a good word to describe me I guess.
So will I let go of today and sleep early? I am not sure. But nevertheless, I know the next day I wake up to, will just be another wonderful day. =D

Back To School...
Holidays are coming to an end and school is starting soon. Hall activities and module bidding is slowly building up momentum again. So I guess it is time for me to be an Undergrad and an Eusoffian again. For the past few days am having mixed feelings about reverting back to my primary role in society at the moment. It is not that I really had a choice or anything, but through the holidays, I am actually doing something for myself for once. It feels good being selfish at times.
Really had a lot of fun and did many interesting things during the holidays. Done many things I didn't have the chance to do during school time and took care of things that I have been neglecting.
Retracing my thoughts, I realized that I have made lots of positive differences in the lives of the people whom I love. and learned that sometimes cruelty is kindness and that kindness can be cruelty.
I guess I can say I am feeling happy now. I have accomplished all that I have set to do and fulfilled a number of my Dreams. To be honest, I am running out of Dreams to pursue at the moment as I cleared too many during this summer break. So I i guess now would be a good time to slow down a little enjoy all the successes I have worked so hard for.
Anyway, here is a picture of the Fei Fei Wan Ton Mee at Everitt Road I had more then a month ago. All the ingredients are under the noodles if you are wondering why it is so plain.
Fei Fei Wan Ton Mee
It does have a special taste though and it is worth a try. One of the few famous stalls that didn't jack up the price of their food. =D
