a new beginning (:

so.. chingay ended. (finally!)

the two parade days were very very tiring. don't see we just sit at the tentage the whole day like nothing to do..we're really damn busy. seriously very very draining. i didn't manage to go flora's house to pai nian on sunday cause i was feeling damn unwell. =/ sigh! i was looking so forward la! =(

okay, i'm honestly glad that everything is ending. though chingay ended, but we still got quite a lot to do for admin.

i'll reflect on the whole thing after leaders' appreciation. not really in the mood to do so now. haha. but well, i really learnt a lot these few months.

on a happier note, HUI MEI IS BACK ;D

i guess the picture is getting clearer now. i know what i want. everything seems to be ... alright.

i'm really looking forward to the social work camp and yea, i'm taking up the admin & treasury head post. HAHAHA. i felt after chingay, nothing else will be able to kill me. furthermore, yea, the momentum is still there, so JUST DO IT! (: i really just wanna contribute la. it's time for me to be involved in school's stuff already and i'm glad i'm taking this move tgt with jean (:

okay and then now i'm considering if i should join arts camp as OGL anot. HAHA.

and.. NDP.. should i volunteer again?

sigh. need to really think about these. me being me - can't stand not being busy. HAHAHA. but i'll be going for my field placement during the holidays.. which means i might not have so much time and energy =/ and i only want to go for things which i'm very sure i can really commit. OH! and there's YOG. arggghhh.

i really missed NDP days a lot. even till now. if only i can work with the whole blue sector volunteers' again this year...okay, maybe not everyone, but at least most of my leaders.. and the super enthu volunteers. but well, things do not always go the way i wish. shall see how again. (:

alrighty, i need to start mugging! two MTT the upcoming weeks! really need to start to study already...

oh! and today was steamboating with kheng, mel & zh. simply awesome (:
and and.. ytd night was dinner with wendy, elanie and eunice (nisha & jalyn pangseh!!) at chinatown. a total different experience. hahaa. would be months later that i'll see the girls again! sigh. at least we met up a few times when you two are back here (: these friends are gonna stay for life!

tolerance

reflections time!

1. i have super low tolerance for people who don't meet deadlines and don't even bother to inform or explain why.

2. i can't tolerate people who don't read and follow instructions. the instructions were explicitly stated.

3. i can't tolerate people who don't think that they're in the wrong when the fact is that they are in the wrong.

4. i can't tolerate people acting blur when it's so obvious that he/she definitely knows about the something.

5. i can't tolerate irresponsible and unresponsive people.

i used to think my tolerance level is pretty high. i mean, it used to be. until this few months, it decreased like crazy. maybe it's time for me not to be the so-nice-huimei anymore. people will only make use of my tolerance. seriously.

and if you can't tolerate my low tolerance level, then it's too bad. put yourself in my shoes and you might understand why.

human beings, always like to make things difficult for one another. well, perhaps this is the oh-so-exciting part about life?

i'm seriously tired of all these. come on, you're not only doing others a favour, you're doing yourself a favour as well. just get things done - get it over and done with!

i really need to return back to the old me. like zhiheng say, i'm having more and more wrinkles. AHHH. few more days, just give me few more days and the old huimei you know will be back! (:

yea, tolerate me for the last few days!

happy lunar new year! :D

2nd.. okay, it's actually 3rd day of CNY now!

and.. i'm feeling soooooo HAPPY!!!!! :D

finally done with Jones' stuffs and sent out the 3rd last mass email for Chingay!!!!!! woohoo!

cny has been so good so far! made me realised that i should really spend more time with my family and relatives. my nieces and nephew are growing up so fast! & i'll have another nephew soon! woo. my cousins are getting older and older as well. like derh lah, i know. hahaha.

it's time for bed although i wanted to read abit first. but it's already 3am! sleeping late is bad for health! so i should go sleep now! (okay, actually it's that i'm plain lazy and tired already. hahaha)

it's recess week and i made a promise to myself that i'll have to finish 5 weeks worth of readings. really need to catch up if not i'll screw up!(wah, nice!)

now that i've settled most of chingay stuffs and finished my super awesome article and videos, i finally have the time and mood to start mugging liao.

honestly, i can't wait for chingay to be over, though i know i'll miss the days a little. I really need to buck up and mug hard!!! and i can spend my saturdays with my love ones. woohoo.

yes, i'm really happy and high. you can tell from my post! (:

oh, and happy belated valentine's day!! someone out there somewhere loves you! i'm the someone! HAHAHAHA.

total fun & entertainment! hahaha. really enjoyed their company! it's pure enjoyment just sitting there listening to them sing and watching them. hahahaha. ernest can sing real well sia! impressed!

while they're so focused in singing, i had fun snapping unglam photos of them. well, there're some nice ones thou! haha.

one of the more relaxing and happy nights since the year starts.. it's really like "going back to reality" when we stepped out of the room. i had a whale of time tonight (: and i'm really glad to have these people around me. though we might not be very close friends, but at least the time spent together was comfortable and great. more outings in the future sia!

i love my family.

2.38am and i'm wide awake listening to aska's songs, leaving me in a very peaceful and reflective mood.

memories of internship days flashed across my mind. those were the days man... i really missed it a lot. but at the same time, i'm looking forward to my SW field placement! gonna be a different experience and i hope it's gonna be a great one.

saturday was mum's side family reunion dinner. the feeling was really good. i really enjoyed the warmth (yah from the steamboat as well. haaha) and the laughters...and the FOOD of course. hahah.

i guess i've really change or maybe grow up alot this year. i'm starting to understand and really appreciate what's call family love. for the 20 past years, i have really taken my family for granted. thinking back, my parents have actually done a lot for me and my sister and i'm really very very grateful to be born in this family. (:

it's really not the old me to express such stuffs, but the new me is learning to express my internal thoughts and feelings openly, so i'm starting by blogging. (:

i love my family, my relatives and my cousins! (: <3

teamwork (:

life's been really busy. seriously, i think i need to treat myself better!

just overwhelmed with so many things. 自找的lor. haha.

school's been pretty good so far though. enjoy my modules and tutorials are not that badddd. social work FTW! :D

despite the busy life, i took time out to work for BIG NIGHT OUT. i'm not a fan of muse, but they're really good lah. i saw the email and pondered for quite some time before deciding to work. i'm really too kind-hearted liao. hahaha.

that 7 hours "wasted" was rather worth it. definitely not an easy crowd to handle, overly excitied patrons, long queues...... i picked up some stuffs that i can use for chingay. heh heh.

what really kinda touched me was that EK and the other SIS lady (i dunno what's her name but i always sees her around!) were helping with the wrist tagging. it's not their duty in a sense, yet they were helping out lah. even two ushers were pulled down from the east side to help out.. you can see how long the queue really was man. so together there were 4 - 6 of us tagging. i really experienced team work... the way everyone helped each other, how we worked tgt and stuffs. it just really feels very very good. (:

i am really happy when i go to work. i needed an escape from my busy (and not so awesome life at the moment) life. (:
