思

再次回到城堡的感觉会是怎样呢? 会是喜悦还是感伤? 小时候的避风港, 躲迷藏的地方, 互吐心事的小空间, 听你述说往事的床边, 一起分享神经的密室, 替你按摩揉脚的地毯, 也就是我这辈子眼泪流得最多的地...再次回到去会是怎样的感觉?
仿佛昨天才刚握过你的手,如今却只剩回忆......对不起在你最难熬的日子没办法和你分担你的痛楚.....已经三个月了, 你离世前最后一次握着我的手告诉我的一切,如今还隐隐约约在我耳边响起......临走前你对我说我是你最乖, 最疼爱的孙子, 我好想告诉你我会不舍得你, 可是已经泣不成声了...........还记得在乘搭巴士回新加坡的路途上, 我哭了整个晚上...每次打电话回家 就少了一个熟悉的声音, 所以每次都回压抑着情绪, 不让自己流眼泪, 也不要让父母担心.......相信父母都知道我会难过很久, 也很懂得掩饰自己的情绪, 所以也甚少提起......

是什么时候开始, 我变得这样感性了 ?

从小到大,我都是大家最疼爱的包贝, 妈妈从来都没有很严厉的责备我, 父亲更是让我自由放纵,所有的需求都会一一满足我, 哥哥虽然话不多, 但是更是疼我, 只要我有要求, 他都会去做. 两位奶奶更是偏心到出面, 众多子孙里面最宠的就是我. 也许我是家里最年幼的关系吧,亲朋戚友都非常疼爱我. 亲人的离去让我更懂得珍惜爱我的人, 希望将来能做个有用的人, 不至于辜负了疼爱我的人对我的期望...

三个月了........你还好吗? 你以前教过我的一切一切,我都会牢牢记住.....
我们会再见的..........

whoopss....all jumbled together...

LoL, i'm a super-pathetically lazy blogger.....







Haven been blogging since the end-of-term holidays....said i'm lazy what....







Just to quickly sum up things..happy very-belated birthdays to pig yan, swing, fish, fep, jordan, peg and others (u know who you are and i'm lazy to write.....).







Congrats to those who just tied the knots and those who just graduated......



and not forgetting my dear bro who just graduated in july, i'm so happy for him cos he's doing something he really likes. and mum says he gets to choose any mercedes of watever class from Daimler Chrysler to be driven home for the weekend as what promised by the CEO when he was presented the best student award........everyone's happy happy celebrating mooncake festival while i'm stuck here for the holidays with peiyi's pathetic cactus.. ;-(











Classes have started 6 weeks ago, and it's recess week now...time really flies mummy...



Everything has started moving on track slowly....hall CCAs, JCRC elections, CCA recruitments.....



time to get busy again...



Just started with the new XQ team, cute and funny people we have....looking forward to working with them...



Joined hall choir this semester, singing makes me happy !! but the practices are rather time consuming...










This whole recess week will be dedicated to xqrj and my lecture notes...







Went to Touch Music Publishing today to negotiate the agreements and details on our collaboration for X11 this year.......Touch Music will be our official publishing house again this year...







It's my first time visiting head quarters of record companies. i like the environment, artistic and professional, and everyone i see there just looks like a celebrity, or shud i say they dress up like celebs...



















however the interesting part of this visit is.......























the people in charge of liasing with us is the general manager, along with Hong Jun Yang (洪俊扬)!











i think some of you might not know who he is, i think he one of the Singapore Superstars, runner-up to champion 陈伟廉. He has produced an album, co-writing some of the songs himself, and he's also the guest performer of XQRJ10 grand finals...







a bit shocked to see him....and i just realised that he had went behind the curtains, taking up the post as the Creative Executive.







It was very embarrasing, he said hi to me but i couldnt recognise him...maybe because he had gained weight after X10 grand finals in the early february.......didn't really get to talk to him during the grand finals last year...just giving him instructions for his performance..











here are some pics of XQRJ10 grand finals.....

Swinging back in action....

Had a 12-day break last week, went home and enjoyed being pampered by mummy and daddy.
Spent quite a lot of time chatting with mum and dad about uni life, but i didn't get to meet my brother though, since CNY.
Get to meet up with a lot of buddies, juniors and church friends, missed them a lot. Everyone seemed to have changed quite a bit, having to adapt to bew environments. It's a pity i missed U6B1 and the Dog Dog Club gathering.....
Gatherings always make me nostalgic and reminisce the good old days....



Time flies, i'm back in Singapore again today, continued floating.
Missed home, but glad to see my team mates again, gossiped and talked cock all day long while working.
Friends always make me feel like being home again, i'm glad to have such nice frens in a foreign country.

Glad to see the production proceeding well too.

Keep on moving !!

Floating...

Float……

As a freshman i get to experience a small bit of the vibrancy and endured a few days’ strenuous training as a helper in the float production. The insignificant bit I contributed was nothing compared to the floaters who spent more than 2 whole months toiling to complete the entire float. Even though I played a miniscule part, I had a great sense of pride and contentedness when our float was paraded in the Padang. This is the time where I started to feel a sense of belonging towards King Edward VII Hall and for the first time I felt proud to be a KEVIIAN. At the end of the event, I saw some of the floaters sobbing and crying at the pavement because they were disappointed at the achievement of our float I suppose. It was then where I finally understood that luck is truly a matter of preparation meeting opportunity. Sometimes no matter how hard you work the outcome might not be something we expect it to be. That was also when I told myself that Rag is definitely a no-no for me as i was afraid I couldn’t withstand the taste of failure after spending sleepless nights working on such a huge production. Moreover, floaters to me are people with extremely high level of endurance, diligence and impetuosity, which I’m definitely not one of them. But I’ve learn something from one of the floaters who were strolling around consoling the others. He seemed to be glad with their achievement which I think is already fantastic and he told me that failure is nothing compared to experience and with this experience they will be able to achieve greater heights in the future. That was when I told myself that I would rather fail in a cause that someday will triumph than triumph in a cause that someday will fail.


Why am I a floater now?

Somehow I still do not understand what made me a floater. I believe some part of it was persuasion and the other was the freshman part that stayed in me. I have the eagerness to indulge myself into such a great production yet I’m afraid it is something too big for me.
Anyway, I was made the operations head and I believe it will be a whole new challenge for me and for my teammates as well. I was totally unfamiliar with float marketing and I had no idea what are the goals I need to achieve for my department. What a senior told me was that I have to be the one who decide how far we wanted to go and what we wanted to achieve, which means I can either slack my way through it or make a hundred calls a day because we do not have any specific targets to hit. When I started float marketing in March, it was quite hard for me to set goals as our job scope is quite abstract, sometimes even if u set goals you will never be able to achieve it but things you never aim for drift into place. We get to hear a lot of complains and nagging sometimes because we were apparently the ones who seemed to have been slacking during the production phase though we are not. My team members sometimes get frustrated for the other floaters not being able to understand us but I’ll just act “big head” and bring it over because I knew these things will happen and I was warned before I took up the job. It doesn’t really affect me though because I do not need other s to see and to know what have we done or what we have been doing so long as we are capable of accomplishing what we aimed to do. But sometimes I do pity the engineers and the artists for having so much to achieve. My team is also part time engineers and artists who help out very often. I’m very proud of my team members because I see them labour for others with the same zeal as if it were for themselves.

As the production phase proceeds I believe the floaters will be more confident of what they are doing and what they have to do next. Conflicts do arise among the floaters in the process but I believe nothing is unachievable if everyone of us keep our mindsets focused on a common goal. Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal and the secret to success is to do the common things uncommonly well. People might give up or be discouraged along the way but that’s life. Float to me does not only encompasses bonding, endurance, pride and the pleasure of contentment, it is a way of life, enriching us with experiences we can get in no other places, unconsciously exploring our gifts and talents and nonetheless, revealing our own shortcomings. Some floaters might feel that they are just single souls whose presences are insignificant and they are not appreciated because they do not have talents or capabilities that shine. In float every floater plays a prominent role, may it be big or small. So all of us must not be discouraged as everyone who got where he is, started where he was; there will be no smooth sailing without turbulence and no one will learn how to walk before they know how to fall.

So from this moment on let’s start striving towards achieving our respective departmental goals and our common goal. Shoot for the moon, even if we miss it, we will land among the stars.

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done, and the future belongs to those who dare to dream.
Alcazar will be the one of the miracles of KEVII !!


Work without a vision is drudgery,
A vision without work is only a dream,
Work with a vision is VICTORY !


p/s – to my dearest department members, the secret of success is to be like a duck—smooth and unruffled on top, but paddling furiously underneath.

We do things not to show people we are doing things, we do not meet targets to show people we have targets, we take it as a challenge to ourselves, pushing ourselves towards greater heights and exploiting our limits, making us better people at the end of the day.
I’ll be back soon, till then, all the best and keep on moving !!!
Jiayou !!
Lotsa love !!
