Time really flies and it is the end of the recess week which was supposed to be no lessons but it was worse than having lessons due to the very tough OB assignment, projects and meetings. I have submitted my assignment on Thursday which took me an accumulated 3 days to complete and I have just finished the slides for our OB article arena on Thursday. We are going to meet up tomorrow for a final presentation and also to start on our marketing project. My presentations are all cramped with the next 2 weeks and once that is over, I can start preparing for my examinations. However before all this there is still the exam welfare supper which I am quite worried about and it is my first project. JCRC is starting to get busy with lots of meet up with people and managing my subcomm. So far I had a good start but it really needs to be sustained for things to work well.
Another good news for me is that I got into Business Solutions which is what I really wanted to learn about business cases and hopefully I can train my mind and at the same time make friends with like minded people. First ‘meeting’ was today and we were assigned teams and had to present a case. When I got it I was like WA KAOZ. But it was fun though preparing with my teammates, Nigel, Elyssa and Shayna. We did a case on Shimano, the bike component manufacturer and well our recommendations sort of got shot badly. But it was a good experience for us and I learnt some tips about presentation.
Recently I realized that the world is indeed small and I happen to know one my friend’s ex and I completely never thought that he was such a person and was really shocked. Now I realized how scary someone can be and be really different, like almost another person and the shit he can do. Thank God she is no longer with him and I am really pissed when I heard about what he had done to her and stuff and I pray that he will change for the better too.
Life is hectic as usual with almost no free time and now I really appreciate any free time I may have and not waste it unnecessary.

Finally there is a break called Recess Week where we get a one week break which means half the semester is gone and the exams are coming along with the assignments, project presentations and many more. For me, I do not have a break at all and will be having loads of project meetings and assignments to rush and also to start on my studying and making some notes so as not to rush like crazy when the exam is nearby. I hope that I will fully utilize this one week to finish up my project well and also to at least go through some concepts that I am not very good in. For economics, I think I am ok and stats need some work and really need to internalize the concepts for OB and marketing both which I enjoy a lot but not really sure on the exams and stuff. On top of that, I would have to juggle the commitments of JCRC and hall games.
I am really tired and busy always and I am not complaining but rather I enjoy myself, just that I find that I have no time for myself anymore which I do not if it is good or bad or just normal for people at this period where we will all be busy with school and work and stuff. Perhaps I really need to asked myself what I really want to achieve in school or am I just trying out many things cause I do not have a direction yet and I am exploring in the mist of all these activities. The answer I do not know but one thing is, I am not doing things for the sake of doing.
Had Ambassador on site training today where we took the hippo bus and go through the places that we are bringing our teams around and it was fun knowing many things about Singapore and seeing so many different places that I have not explored before and seeing Singapore in a different light after going to the URA gallery. There are so many interesting things about us that I have not known about and how efficient we are in planning the space we have.
Went for Cell after that and it has been a long time since I seen them due to my busy schedule and it was comforting to be together with God’s people and worshiping and learning together.
I have gone for the last interview for BS and I really hope to be able to get in and also I have formed my Subcomm which I believe is a good team and we can achieve a lot this year. I thank God for giving me great people to work with and some good people to guide me along. After the recess week, I have a stats quiz, 3 presentations in a row, one OB project to submit as a group and a individual OB assignment due before the holidays end.
That’s all for now and I hope I can update soon……

Finally some time to blog before the start of the JCRC meeting at 10 later. I realized that I have not been updating for a long time since I started school. School has been hectic but fun filled with Hall activities like night cycling, dinner and dance, block steamboat and JCRC elections and also the numerous tutorials, readings that never seem to end and I have an economics test like next week. Everything happens so fast and time flies and it is mid semester already and after recess week it will be all the assessed presentations. It is like a super busy but I am also enjoying it kind of lifestyle. Some update for my activities so far, I have decided to devote my time to studies (DUH), Hall (Since I am in JCRC) and either Business Solutions (If I do get in) or Investment Interactive Club. I have no time for other things except running to distress at night and studying the word of God. The rest of my time is work, work and more work. I enjoy working and working and cannot sit still kind so that’s why I guess I am enjoying my life now, which is good to hear. Lolz.
Our tutorial group has grown closer and the lunch together group is getting bigger by the day and more people have joined us. This is a great bunch of people and I really enjoy hanging out with them together and all are good workers too who really contributed greatly to my great time in tutorial sessions. Hope that we remain bonded all the way.
Went back to RE on Friday for dinner and most of the ex temps also went back and we had fun catching up with each other and updating each other. There was more new people there now and legal is gone. Also good to hear that Sarah, Vance and Josh got converted liao and wish them all the best in their work. Wednesday I am going back there again to have dinner with Banking 03.
I got the post of Business Manager but sadly Jing Yang did not get president and well since I do not know much of the people here very well yet but with my interaction with him, I think that he could be a great leader and I am not sure why does he has so many against vote but then again it is a pity not being able to work under him now it remains to see who is going to be the 8th President. The tough part is going to start for me and I really hope that I can be a good business manager and contribute to the Hall.
Jonathan is going to leave for his studies soon and well definitely I would be sad and feel quite lost since he was the one who brought me to church and I would share some things with him and now he is gone, I would feel a void somehow but then again I would get used to it somehow. He is flying off on Tuesday and thank God the AGM is postponed so I can go see him off. Bye Jon
I think it would be difficult for me to post another one again but I would try my best to post when I can and update about my life.
