Reshmonu in SJI

Heya! Saw this new Reshmonu video clip on MTV and looked for it online and here it is! If you watch carefully, when the 2 Chinese girls in red cheong sam are dancing, you watch the background closely and.... you will see...

St John's Institution!! My alma mater, the proud white and red pillars that keep the eagle soaring up in the skies! Haha... no wonder we were so curious why Reshmonu turned up at our school a couple of times. hehe.

hanging up the pride

it's time.

i've wondered how it feels when it does. i no longer wonder. i know.

it's the pain of growing older, it's the regret of words unsaid or actions untaken. it's the longing for old times to return.

you wish time would turn back and bring you back to that magical period, when it was all you enjoyed and all you looked forward to.

the feeling of being an important figure. the respect and admiration showered on you. the feeling of knowing that you're Making A Difference.

the knowledge that you're helping people grow and learn. the understanding that your actions will determine their future. the responsibility of it all. the burden, the longed for burden. the cross to carry.

i never asked for my cross to be shortened. to be lighter. i took it and held it against my back with pride and gratitude for the opportunity. i was glad i took the challenge.

i was rewarded not by medals or money. i am rewarded by the success of those under my wing. i am rewarded by the knowledge and skills learnt by them while under my tutelage. i am rewarded knowing that i helped them GROW.

and then all of a sudden, it's over. the senior position, the guiding, the helping, it all stopped. it was time for the next generation to take over. tears of blood flowed freely from my heart.

like dettol on an open wound, it stung like hell but it was for the greater good. that magical time could never come again. but still, i am grateful that i had it in the first place.

i feel aged, as if the world caught up with me and threw me upon the cold marble floor. the storm followed the rain, and i am caught with no shelter and no roof over my head.

and then the rain stopped as i realised that YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE AND NOT WHO PEOPLE SAY YOU ARE. i remain respected, i remain admired to some extent, and i remain in the memories of the young ones as the one who helped them through difficult times and lent a helping hand or shoulder to cry on. i am still me, without the position, but still with the virtues it has blessed me with. i will carry on.

i feel old. soon, i will start anew. butterflies and hurricanes, moths and tornadoes, even if i go insane, i'll still go where the wind blows.

it's time.

KIWANIS YOUTH CAMP 2007

I went for Paintball with me dad on sunday, n took d opportunity to send him showers upon showers of questions regarding the upcoming KIWANIS YOUTH CAMP 2007, tentatively held on 13-16, but apparently the date's gonna be changed AGAIN soon, so stay tuned aite? right, i managed to find out that the organizers (my dad and his team) are looking at a camp in raub, pahang. among the activities lined up for the 4 days are:

white water rafting
high ropes
flying fox (longest in malaysia, spans over a HUGE lake)
raft building (this time we're gonna go down a RIVER not a stagnant POND like kyc06)
obstacle course
abseiling
campfire

with only 4 days of camp, there's a very tight schedule. therefore, to stuff in all these great great activities, indoor lessons are kept to a minimum. overall, i think we'll be having only about 3 or 4 indoor lessons during the whole camp. that's a great thing aite!! i mean, indoor is okay but not the whole camp like kyc06 lah. sure, that's where we learn stuff in theory and all, but then again squeezing 200 hormone driven teenagers in a small hall for too long is seriously NOT A GOOD IDEA. so this time around, we'll be having a camp. a REAL camp, the REAL DEAL. be there or be square! be there and be round like me! haha... well, not reli la, coz lotsa outdoor mah.

note: white water rafting and building raft are TWO SEPERATE ACTIVITIES. white water rafting is where they give u a ready made raft, usually those inflated ones if im not mistaken, and ure supposed to steer ur raft down rapids and mini waterfalls and try not to capsize along the way. in building rafts, we are given materials like tyres, wood, and ropes to MAKE our own rafts and THEN sail down a river. for this one, u better hope u make ur raft properly. haha... last year in a stagnant pond pun boleh pecah, so... be careful!

and there's talk about a word game that's something to do with eating nasi lemak with ayam goreng tambah telur goreng and teh o ais limau or something lidat.


all this and more! for more information, log on to this website every fortnight or so and hopefully i get more 'bocor' from my dad. haha... our beloved ms. Heidi Olivia Tan has been confirmed to be the lead facilitator again this time around. there'll be the usual pre-selected student facilitators as well.

until more leaks, here's a kyc fanatic signing off! pro utilitate hominum et fide et labore.

A little something for the nerves

A little something mum emailed me. It's seriously damn funny wei. That's if you keep up with world events larh. Haha... It's good la wei... iRack and iRan. Haha...
