Sport camp 07/08 with freshie

GL: CHAMA OEI~~
Freshie: wu!!
GL: CHAMA OEI~~
Freshie: wu sha!!
GL: CHAMA OEI~~
Freshie: ma ma shi ta!!!

Really enjoyed myself for the whole sport camp with the freshie these 4 days. This time around we walk through the freshie with a bunch of games and activities. Which was well planned by the committees. Too bad I never bring my camera along to take much photos, except after break camp where we took some group photo together.

I really appreciate my group of freshie, they are really awesome man! Although they didn't really cheer well and kinda not bonded with each other. But after day 2, they are okie liao. Seriously, they are very ting hua and they really show their appreciation for us and starts to thanks us and give us surprises. They tried to cheer each other up for the seek that we GLs all lost our voices. Totally no conflict with them or so ever. They even wrote us notes and drop it in our letter boxs.

The camp fire really great. Food that night were really nice and they turned the convention center into a club. The credit should really goes to the helper for those setting ups. I am amazed at how awesome it looks man. That night after group items presentation and handling of president to Arren, they spinned up R&B and techno in the room, all of us like goes crazy and danced to our heart content. I think its the atmosphere that created all the party tensions. I really enjoyed myself that night. One clap for sport camp.

I felt really good that somebody appreciated my kind deed and show their appreciation. I felt really touched, don't know why. I really regretted that I fell out of sport camp last years, I didn't get the sport camp shirt 07/08. This time round, I lost my GL shirts. The white shirt with vodka logo one. I think its trying to punish me for not doing the good job in those position. Example, last year I fell out of camp, no freshie shirts, this year I got the freshie shirt, but I lost my GL shirt, maybe I guess that I really didn't do a great job as a GL.

Even after so many GL training, I think I still haven open myself out. My leadership still sucks and my phobia towards crowd still there. I really have a low self confidence. whatever.. I just need more exposure at all.

I really proud of our flat. Nicest among all. And those helper can't even steal our flag once. Not even once. They had to plea us to give it to me for some games.

Pretty girl in our group.

Really pretty

Thanks for everyone in our group "CHAMA" for giving me this good camp experience

Starfish story in FOC meeting

Seriously, I need to be contented with very little things in my life and no complain about not having this or that. Actually, "it" have been very kind of me already. Having such a wonderful mother, giving me a healthy body and haven been taking away any things from me.

Nothing unusual to blog about, today went to help Collin in some of the FOC meeting in the stuff hub. They had an external group poeple to share their experience with us. How to we treat freshie better and stuffs. Well, I think one of the story worth mentioning is the "Starfish Story.

There was a boy along a beach. He was like throwing some starfish that was laying on the sand back into the sea. Then one man approached the boy and ask him

"the wave keep washing the starfish up to the sand, what's the point of you throwing the starfish back to the sea? there are thousands of starfish on the beach"

The boy ignoring the man's comment and threw out that starfish on his hand,

"at least I can save this one"

They were trying to say that don't underestimate the power of just walking across the room to talk to someone who is feeling lonely. You don't know how much of an impact for him to feel the connection with someone is that room.

Example if you are just helping someone a small favour which in turn affect his life and then he would then help other people, so you are like indirectly helping a lot of people. Haha.. so from today onwards lend out your helping hand to someone who is in need of it bah.

Semb Corp scholarship confirmed.

Semb Corp had contacted me and told me that I am going to receive the scholarship today. They sent me a couple of soft document and a contract deed. I find that the deed its kinda favorite in their position.

1.If I commit a crime, fail in module, break bond

2.If I become physically disable, break bond

3. If they think I didn't live up to their expectation, break bond

Basically, they have the free will to break my bond anytime without providing a proper reasoning. So like the boss see me pain in the eye, break bond. I in that case had to pay back the gross total amount + 15% interest to them. Wah.. Dangerous xia. Meaning I had to behave myself and be very very careful this 2 years.

Putting this favoritism deed aside, the good thing is that they gonna pay for all tution fee, compulsory fee and give a monthly allowance and insurance covered for this 2 year. Somehow, it lessen my burden.. But meaning that I can't be working during school holiday liao. They going to need me there for all my holidays and they are not going to paid me for the holiday assignment. They monthly allowance not enough for me xia. And I can't work part time.. Shit.

Just today, I went for an interview of telemarketer which going to paid me $8 per hour. I did a great job at the interview and the interviewer is like super impressed lah. (asked me to promote a MP3 to her.. which I like super convinced her in buying lah, haha pressure selling) But then now, I had to give up the job because of the scholarship.

Today, borrowed Yong Sheng's car to go Sentosa cjalet. Almost all are here except a few.

Mr Koh LC also here lah...

We play entangle of team building game.. I really like that is game somehow bond us better together, but too bad cannot stay overnight. Cause tmr had to go for FOC meeting and RSP tution. Plus still got sport camp booth. So damn busy lah.. Ya forget still got a job interview.. Too much stuff to do liao lah.

Today, morning I also helped out in looking after the sport camp booth, so far till 1pm, there are around 90 plus ppl joined. A lot of touting here and there. Someone even kana spite onto the face when he provoked some GL com member.

Relax, not a real woman. Hahahaz

Class shot 1

Class shot 2

Basically we play entangle lah. We do 3 time before we manage to complete the cirle :p

Okie, updates of major event for this holiday. Last few days I went for the sport GL preparation camp. Hell of bullshit. I "like totally" not enjoyed myself as all. Cause I felt that it too regimental for me. This cannot that cannot. Well, I know its a sport camp and no leisure camp but I went because of CCA points, thats why. Fa Jian

Nonetheless, I suffered through the camp and got my result in camp on day 2. Fucking nervous loh. I score relatively well.. But GPA wasn't better than last sem. Gonna work hard for it next sem. Hope Semb Corp can approach me soon.. If not, I dangerous liao.

Day 1
Basically some ice breaking "phyiscal game to play"
At night, they have the night walk at Bukit Timah. I don't know how long is the walk but its damn cold and tiring. It was raining then, which make the soil in the forest muddy.. All our clothes are soaked and dirtied. Most of the people like it cause its a good exposure to the nature. But to me, so so only.. I went through outfield that was more tiring. But then still GG.

Day2
More team bonding games

And the highlight of the whole camp is this " Orchard Walk ". Which make us super regret of join SSC. They brought us down to orchard and make us lay flat everytime we heard their whistles. Literally laying down flat on the ground and asked us to shout of help. And I see they felt super happy when they play this game. We laid on Orchard MRT, Paragon, Ceni, HMV.. Basically every part of Orchard lah.

But its fun with all the teams member around. In the end, they explained that its for us to improve our confidence when we see stranger. Quite true, I think it helps. I remember the best quizes, this that they asked us to borrow a shoe from a stranger and followed by shouting out loub 'WE GOT THE SHOE, WE GOT THE SHOE'. Not easy for us actually borrow shoes from stranger.

Andy at Breko

My VB and his Stella

Just came back from the Thai disco bar at Golden Mile. I got a suddenly call from Andy Lim asking me to go out and drink with them. So long never see them so I agreed. They asked me to meet them at the ATM below my block.

I am surprise to see "peiqi" were there also. Yeah, she is with Andy lim and Qing he. I see Andy hold Peiqi hand. What so special? Maybe let me tell about a little of their history.

Peiqi initially was with Jun Xian, one of my buddy in camp. They went steady for quite some time, like 2 year maybe. During that time, Andy seem to me like a third party to me. When Jun Xian wasn't around for some night, Peiqi allowed Andy to go to her house. (Andy is one of our camp mate who buddy with Jun Xian also) That night Andy stayed over at Peiqi house. I think they were some how quite drunk. Then Jun Xian the next day found a tissue at Peiqi house, he say that it confirm is not "bi ti".. Very complicated between them, now Andy is together with Peiqi liao.

Somehow shocked me..

I will be lost if this incident happened to me. At least I also had a sad story to tell......

Today, we went Breko to have some beer then we rush down to Boat Quek.. Then after that we rush down to Golden Mile.. That is some thai ladies singing live band. To me they are boring. I can't understand what they are singing at all. But at least all of them look pretty.

Dunno why, the R&B and techno made me have a strong urge to msg Leen.. I think of all the time when we are together. Those good and bad memories. Got very emo after that.

Qing he drop me somewhere at bugis for me to take a cab home. I brought a pork porriage and Kopi "strong" back home....

Luix outlet at Pearl's Centre

All the second hand box

Accessories like charger, screen protector, earpiece, bluetooth and etc

Showcase of second hand phones

Last 5 days I helped Jeremy in his shop as he is away oversea. Total profit of 800 plus. Very little compare to the other outlet like Clementi or Jurong.

Yeah, plus I changed my phone again.. Downgrade from s500i to w610i.. Because I read the review for the w610i is all very good reviews. Good sound on the earphone, good battery life, led light, auto-focus and reasonably loud ringtone. To me, camera is really not so important. My first choice is good battery life and loud ringtone. A handphone is for you to receive call, loud ringtone ensure that you can hear them ringing and without a good battery life, even the best phone out there can die on you halfway outside.

Semb Corp DISC profiling

Self Image

Gary Ng Beng Chiew is a friendly, diplomatic person who by nature is systematic, careful and logical in his approach to work. Whilst Gary may know quite a lot of people he differentiates between friends and acquaintances and is indeed quite selective about those whom he chooses to call "friend".

Gary usually works in a steady and orderly manner, and prefers to know and understand exactly what is required of him and where he stands in terms of responsibility. Whilst Gary is communicative and even chatty when talking either in friendly situations or situations where he is knowledgeable, he is not naturally assertive and will yield his position if on strange ground or anticipative of an antagonistic response.

Gary dislikes being held to tight schedules or having to make decisions without being in possession of all the facts and figures. Indeed Gary will avoid, whenever possible, the need to make snap decisions. Being a good communicator of information and detail, Gary is best suited to a role where authority is vested either in expertise or is supported by rules. He has a tendency towards perfectionism and may on occasions be accused of being overly detailed. Certainly, Gary is unlikely to antagonise others intentionally and will attempt to dissipate antagonistic situations through the use of diplomacy, appeals to reasonableness and/or the facts.

Gary is sensitive, quite easily hurt and will take rejection personally.

Self Motivation

Gary needs to feel secure, part of the group and above all, liked. He will, therefore, work towards the maintenance of friendly, non-antagonistic situations in his work. Thus a thorough knowledge of what is required and clearly defined areas of responsibiliy are important motivators to Gary Ng Beng Chiew.

Job emphasis

Communicating/using expertise in a supportive role

The main function of Gary's job should be the communication of personal expertise or using such expertise in an administrative or supportive role. The job could include persuading or advising others via individual knowledge, through the need to enforce such advice should be avoided.

Any disciplinary responsibility should be vested entirely in Gary's expertise and supported by either higher authority or procedures. Decision taking should be restricted to his area of expertise and to maintenance of quality, standards and the adherence to specifications. The role could include negotiating with other specialists and teaching or training in specialist areas.

It is important to bear in mind that Gary is a very hard and willing worker and may take on more than he can cope with. therefore the work load should be monitored.

Describing Words

Detailed, specific, perfectionist, friendly, sensitive, kind, sincere, gentle, helpful, dependable, advisory, modest, peaceful, communicative, non-aggressive, asks 'how', 'why' and 'who'.

How others see you

In the work situation Gary modifies his behaviour from that indicated in the self image, becoming much more mobile, active and alert. He is likely to work at quicker pace and handle a greater variety of tasks simultaneously. He may feel the need to delegate follow up tasks to others.

Behaviour under pressure

In pressure situations, Gary modifies his characteristics from those indicated in the self image. He is likely to slow his pace down a little, become slightly more thorough and reliable than is indicated by the self image, and perhaps needs more time to ensure that he is getting things right.

Additionally Gary's influence factor falls slightly.

Whilst he remains fairly positive and still has the ability to communicate with others, he may be seen as less persuasive and verbal than the self-image suggests.

MotivatorsGary is best motivated when operating in a situation where exposure is somewhat limited, structure and procedures are very clearly defined and where he feels confident that provisions have been make for him to double check his decisions before action is taken. Gary is also well motivated when he feels secure, popular and part of the team.

Accuracy 95%

So today is the actual tea session with Semb Corp. And they told me that I am short listed and confirmation had to wait for the release of sem 2 results. I personally felt that I didn't do so well for sem 2. But most of them told me they didn't do well as well.


We went to Jurong island for the tour, but sadly we are not allow to use camera on the island. So not picture. But basically, I don't think that there is any interesting photo to be shown. All is pipes, valves and incinerators. Damn boring island I say. Only 1 canteen on the island. So I gonna waste my precious youth on that damn island. (which I don't have much left) No shopping during lunch time and no chio bu to admire in office. Thought a lot of Bangkali to see.

There is a PHD china man giving us a briefing. Damn funny accented English. Dunno what the hell he is talking. I mean I am not the lonely soul that is bored. Almost all is dozing off. Feels like busting into laugher when I look at him. Control~
But then he motivated me when I feel that my English is so broken. If you have the knowledge, no one dare to say your English is bad.


So now I just had to wait for the result for sem 2. Sigh!!

Holiday is here. Nothing much to do except to play online game with Liwen. Dota and Diablo 2. Ya, good way to actually waste your time if you don't have any job to do.

Sembcorp invited me for a tour on Jurong Island after my interview with them. So most likely I will tio the contract.

Nothing very interesting happening around. So I will just post some random photo.
Know where is this place?

Mega bite had this special plate. see if u can find it.
This photo justify the saying 'Love is all around'
