Happy Teachers Day
First off, apologies for the lack of bloging the past week or so (like you even bother rite? :p) Petition / forum’s been keeping the team away from our free time and yeah, one thing led to another, and I’m just making up excuses once again.
I seriously think i’ve been going back to VS too often, 2/3 times a week is a little extreme I would think, not like i’m complaining though. Today went back, abilt late (the teachers were leaving for lunch when I walked in).
Hung out with my juniors then went for lunch with them, muzzy and chun han. Then hung out with Mr Ong (kf) at Starbucks. Man I miss the good old days..
Victoria Thy Sons Are We
Ok. Think you’ll find almost every Victorians blog talking about the article in the papers. I don’t think I even need to explain.
This sucks! I’d blog on and on for paragrahps on end about it but I’ve got to monitor the petition site to ensure that the script and server doesn’t get overloaded.
Downloading the database as I type this, will write the script to ouput it into a page once I’m done. Will blog when thats done.
The Meaning of Life. My Life
A while back I posted on ‘The Meaning of Life‘. I’m starting to feel that way again, if not more then ever before.
Tomorrow I have SP Adventurers training. I’m going out with my classmates instead. If you’ve known me in VS, no doubt that you would find that surprising.
Its weird. It’s like I can’t employ the enthusiasm that I had for CIC/LTC in VS to SP. Back in VS, CCAs were the one thing on top of my list. Now I don’t seem like me anymore.
Which ultimately brings me to the question. Who am I? Can I even say for certain that I was (and will always be) a Victorian Student Leader? Why did I choose to become one in the first place?
Lets do a recap on my life. I first forayed into the leadership arena in Primary School, serving as a monitor and then a prefect and then as Head Prefect. Followed up with Monitorship and Prefectship in VS. But why that path? Is it because I enjoy doing what I did? Was it merely a facade? Or is it because that was what I expected of myself. Then who am I to expect things from myself and what standards am I supposed to set for myself? Do I even hold the power to decide who I want to be?
Perhaps society makes us who we are. Perhaps we are who we choose to be. Perhaps I have no idea what I’m talking about. In VS, I stayed away from the ‘illegal’ stuff because I felt that it wasn’t who I was. But who the heck was I in the first place?
What differentiates a person with outstanding moral integrity from one who’s in death row? Society? Environment? Influence? The friends they have? Or is just fated to be?
I just realised that’s a whole lot of questions, most of which I would likely never be able to answer. So much for what life throws at you. If only you could take some and throw it back.
Java? Java. Java!
Yey. My Java programs’ framework is more or less done as per the requirements. Now all I need to do is to enhance it.
Lets see if I can get it done completely by this month. hehe..
Presentation Skills
If there’s one thing I sorely lack, its Presentation Skills. Had individual presentation today for Technical and Business Communications and while I didn’t screw it up, I was still less then satisfactory.
Deciding to ditch my cue cards wasn’t a very good idea and my Remote Presentation device spent more time on the table then in my hands.
The starting was especially bad, due mostly to the fact that I was uncomfortable. And one would think giving the Head Prefect Election speech would have been enough to train my resistance to such situations. Sigh, perhaps I’m just fated to communicate with computer systems alone.
As in seriously, computers are cool. They do what I want it to, and if it makes a mistake, its because I screwed up. And I don’t think I need to explain the efficiency and precision of computers. hehe.. =)
