THE BLOG! :) obviously, but also to a world of wonders and mysteries
that are to be unraveled because that's precisely what SHE (or rather
me,) is all about. if you know me, welcome to another side of me.
but if you don't know me, it's okay. i still welcome you into a world of me
and what happens. i'm not anywhere near perfect, but here is where
i share my experiences and learnings. hope you'll be blessed reading
my entries!
LOVE YOU!

another week flown by, like one (week) flew over the cuckoo's nest - lame, i know. it's 11.20pm and i'm waiting in my room in hall for a drinking session with my level6 boys (and someone down there complains that i address all of them as "boys" even though ALL of them are older than me by at least two years or more). but yeah, i'll definitely miss them, especially the seniors who won't be back next annual year. :( LEVEL6, QUELYN MISSES YOU LOADS ALREADY. went down for a round just now and most of them are gone already, gone back home, gone to redang. tomorrow my japanese boy will be leaving at night - i don't know if i can send him off, hopefully. junghai will also be leaving tomorrow night. i think sunday nights are for leaving. HAHAS.

tomorrow, i'm saying goodbye to Sheares Hall and E702 for the holidays. and when i move in next semester, it'll be a different room, a different bed, and a brand new start - because i'm blockhead next year, yes, taking care of 108 eekers will be my job. and, it will also mark my last year as a shearite because i'm not intending to stay in hall when i'm in year3. i think that two years in hall is enough and after that, i want to really focus on church, and of course, my destiny and dreams that i have been aspiring to achieve the last few years. but all the more, knowing that it's my last year in hall, i will really give it my best and take care of blockE. :)) i'm humbled and honored to take the position of blockhead, and it's not going to be an easy journey, i know - but i'm willing to lead.

though, i will be back in hall during the holidays - for SECC as a councillor and Rag as a dancer. :) and as the end of the semester comes to a close, i think now is a good time to blog about my first year in sheares. the first time i blogged in this room was the 16th of june 2008, and the room only had one bag and one blanket that acted as my bedsheet, one stuffed bear that acted as my pillow. today, the 9th of may 2009, the room is full of bags, 33 of them in total, housing my whole first year in sheares - from my clothes, to the memories i've collected.

i really want to thank God for giving me a chance to live an independent life outside of home and for the many opportunities that has come my way. it's really like a chain reaction of events, starting from the NUS Open House where i got to know about Sheares Hall, which led to me signing up for SECC that made me really fall in love with Sheares. and because of that, i signed up for Rag as a dancer and it gave me a sense of ownership and belonging to this place that i've called Home for the last year. after Rag, i felt estranged from the block because i didn't attend SWOC and i decided that i should take a shot and run for Block Committee, and that really shot me to a different playing field cause from a literally nobody, i was taking care of the runnings of the block as well as a whole level of 18 boys. :) and it's the best thing that every happened - thank you God for the opportunity to do so.

outside my block, i was in the Convening Committee and the Cultural Management Board that settled my sports and culture requirements that i had set for myself to join (i didn't want to join too many similar CCAs, it'd be boring..) and i was in the marketing department for both committees. i was also in Sheares Enterprise, which i seriously think was quite screwed, but nevertheless, i had a part in it because i was the vice-chairperson - and it was really a learning experience about working with other people who are very different from me. and i thank God for all these opportunities because i learnt about my shortcomings and strengths as a leader in a different way and i honed some new skills in the process.

right, back to the post later, i'm gone drinking. :))

back! well, all in all, i want to thank God for a really good first year in sheares hall. although i think i'm quite phantom-ish, i'm very glad that i have level6 - when i'm bored, i go down to make noise and disturb them. when i'm happy, i go down and still make even more noise and disturb them. when i've got nothing to do, i go down to disturb them and pond them. lols. and when i'm sad/emo, i always know that there's somewhere i can go to and just sit down and be surrounded by people so that i won't be alone. what i'll miss the most in the years to come is level6. next year, it'll be a different batch of people on level6, but it doesn't matter. cause you'll are special, all 21 of you. :))

looking back at the last academic year, i think i have been very blessed to be in the committees i was in, to have the neighbours that i had, to have the friends that i have. it wasn't all happy happy because there were a lot of ups and downs, but it was all a great learning process. and i thank God for it all. i thank the people who have came into my life, and i hope that you won't walk out. here's to all the friendships that we'll always have, no matter how far we are from each other.

goodbye, E702.
goodbye, level6.
goodbye, sheares hall.
