lalala. i do seem to be pretty active in keeping this place active recently, hmm.

anyway, on to proper business (hey pun heh, as you will see later).
entre info session for J1s yesterday. well, i must admit that it was rather disappointing to see a not-so-big turnout. but they always say quality over quantity, and i personally believe in that adage as well. thanks chenwei for the support yea! don't let modern dance bog you down too much =/
it was really quite fun to judge the J1's business pitches. some of them were pretty comical! and evan was the humor highlight of the day again XD

i realised i forgot to talk about open house! so here goes.
hmm, it's kind of like my 3rd time being part of open house as a speaker/booth person rather than a mere participant. twice for npcc, this time for entre + one chapter. quite a different experience definitely. for npcc, the sec1s hardly ask anything. so you're basically aiming to con (i mean, persuade) little kids into your great agenda of joining the cca. parents wise, they're generally concerned about the usual pragmatic stuff so again, quite abit of smoking/PC answers.
here at rj it's a different ball game though. J1s ask quite abit and it's probably a bigger challenge to persuade them, especially since the choices are much more varied than in secondary school. having good relationships with juniors definitely help in pulling them in.
but all in all, a good experience to remember, plus a useful session in training myself up on public speaking a little too. so not too bad!

went down to take a look at asian humanitarian forum today. was a little disappointed at the lack of booths/hype there, but i guess it isn't all that appropriate to hype up an event of such nature.
nevertheless, i did pick up quite a few useful things, and signed up at a couple booths as well. it felt like a rather meaningful afternoon spent.

next week looks to be an extremely busy one, what with ONE week, npcc trainings, likely campcraft competition trainings. and of course, the good old lessons + homework + upcoming econs test to study for.
life does look so exciting doesn't it?

well, let's talk less and start doing more shall we?

Blind - Lifehouse


I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
and still I have the pain I have to carry
a past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

after all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep
only in hopes of dreaming
that everything would be like it was before
but nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
they disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

after all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me died when I let you go

after all this time
would you ever wanna leave it
maybe you could not believe it
that my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you will ever know
a part of me died when I let you go
and I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me dies when I let you go
