End of my STACT Club life...

My journey in STACT Club has finally come to an end after my last project- the 21st Community Service Project. It was really a tough one with so many challenges given the clashing class schedule, members quitting, conflicts occurring among members, local people not supporting, etc.. Everyone was so stressed and got pissed off easily with any changes. For my last project in STACT, I tried everything at one time that you couldn't imagine, e.g., taking up the role of DISCIPLINE MASTER, giving speech on a closing ceremony, scolding people, and even being hated. Nah..all these are actually unimportant.

The most meaningful part for me is the changes by every single member throughout the period, from joining as new members, attending trainings, and till enjoying themselves very much during the campfire. As I said, it was tough so at first I greatly disagreed on having this project. Yet, at the moment I said "OK!", I told myself no matter what happened, I'd be there as a supporting role. Because of this concept, I was allowing things to go easily and I became afraid when things were going too easily that members might not learn anything and really enjoy the true CS. The spirit was not there as well, especially when members were quiting one by one. I did not know how to support anymore yet I was pretending to support by comforting them and making promises which I didn't know how many promises had I kept. sorry, guys..

As time passed, the only fear I felt was not members quitting but members giving up since I strongly believed that "no problems can't be solved". One week before the CS, from 30members, it dropped till 22 members. One by one, I called and talked. for those who couldn't make it, I just felt sorry to them. But some who couldn't pass their own obstacles, I felt sad because it was just one more step to announce success. However, while convincing these people, they reminded me," Is it only considered success for us to go through that 7days?" To Tian Xin, it was a "Yes!". But after this, I will answer, "It depends."

I really got inspired by seniors and juniors.

At the end of the 21st CS, I was glad that many improved in attitude aspects or skills, like Adrian who didn't like dancing last time, Sou Eei who talked very softly last time, Penny who had no patience, etc.. And during this CS, Adrian encouraged the students of his group to dance , Sou Eei became the MC of our last event, and Penny who became patient even though she needed to take 2 MC roles.

I'm really glad to announce a SUCCESS of this 21st COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT. As Tian Xin always says, "CS is really magical as it brings us laughters and cries when being touched by everyone's growth,change and improvement."

22ppl was nvr a worry for me to make this 21st CS a success because I know we'd have 100% support frm everyone!

p/s: Before ending,there's a sentence I would never forget. A sentence which was spoken by the Maintenance Group Leader to comfort everyone one night before departing to PEKAN NANAS:

" No worry! I promise everything will be packed nicely by 6pm!" A simple sentence, a simple promise but did a great impact to the whole team!

THE END

Every end is followed with a NEW beginning...My clubbing life stops here and more for me to explore.

1st Stop: Suzhou, China for 1 semester

Ur meaningful presence,,,

After struggling for 2 weeks, she's finally physically gone but I believe she's still with us in our heart. I felt sad when seeing my uncles and aunties cried. I really hoped to walk to them and comfort them, telling them that Tai Ma has not gone; if they miss her, just say hello in heart because she's in our heart. Was her life meaningful? Yes, it should be as her presence brought 40 over of us together in this one big family.

hmmm..dunno what to write d..

May ur life is peace now!

We love u!

Current stand

What?! Again?! Another 1 mark is deducted because of wrong font size! Weird..Last test was the same too and I swear I did triple-check for the font size! Softcopy shows TNR 12 but hardcopy shows TNR 11. What a joke! A speechless joke! Fine..

Perhaps, Mr. Eric just thinks that I got too much for my test! yay yay! I got another 41/50 for my Philo Test 2! But, I don’t think I deserve it this time because my argument was not strong enough actually and I took a risky way by disobeying the instructions. The question required me to state 3 strengths and 2 weaknesses of my chosen debater but I did 3 weaknesses and 2 strengths. I didn’t mean to be rebellious but I really couldn’t find his strength anymore so finally I made such decision 1 day before handling the bring-home test.

So far, I seem like handling well in my results, except for Anthropology which I’m having average stand now. It really looks like I did very well in balancing both club activities and studies. But, honestly speaking, I still feel like I’m in my first few weeks of semester because I couldn’t remember anything which I have studied. I’m currently studying to pass. What a pity case =( But, my hard disk is really full and infected by virus.
Never mind, as Tian Xin always says, “Do the best and never regret!”.
Aiming for at least a B for Anthro, a B+ for Philo and an A- for both Macro and Retailing…

What's truth?

What is truth?

The sky is green, claimed everyone.

Does it mean it’s true because everyone’s telling that?

You would say insane! You could see sky as BLUE, undoubtedly!

But, have you ever thought why people would say sky is GREEN?

You shouldn’t make conclusion without thinking WHY!

Figure out, WHY?

They might be color-blinded. Hence, it’s true that sky is GREEN to them!

Or, there are other reasons.

Be calm to find out the reasons and you learn to step into others’ shoes.

* Different people have different truths. Try to understand...

Philo sem

Hi readers, it has been months for not updating due to busy life with club activities.
This semester is really a unique one for me. I'm taking Anthropology, Philosophy, Macroeconomics, Retailing, and stupid Moral subject. I really like Philosophy much! Next is Anthropology. Both these lecturers really teach me but they are tough lecturers too.

Let's talk about my favorite lecturer- Mr. Eric who is a funny guy whic most students dislike. You know why? It's because he marks and deducts students' grammar mistakes. At first, you won't think he's linean but you will find out he's really willing to help students but just in different ways. His way prepares us in a harsh society next time. Tell you. I'm really happy to score the highest in my Test 1(bring-home test), 41/50. 2 marks were deducted by him because of funny reasons. For me, I wouldn't feel angry but just funny. He deducted 1 mark because I didn't follow the format he asked us to follow. Without knowing why and how, fonts in last page are Times New Roman,size 11 instead of size 12. Who on earth would figure out this? Haha..He showed me the difference. Swt -.-
Next, another is also my careless mistake which I didn't include some required part.
Being lecturer by him makes me feel like I'm really experiencing university life. For bring-home Test 1, we were asked to play a game and answered question. In test 2, we needed to listen 2 hrs debating on the topic: Does God exist? Haha..It's really challenging to hear to native English debaters.
In class, we were shown with videos. And, don't try to be funny. These videos would come out in exams. Wall-E did come out in my mid-term. haha..
I hope to have more classes of him. I hope I won't disappoint him like in my mid-term which scores only 33/50.

Next is my Antropology lecturer who will look strict but actually same as Mr. Eric. She's good yet harsh. =) First in-class tutorial question, I was being lectured by her harshly in front of the whole class. She kept on asking me to think why and how. I couldn't answer. Everyone was trying to comfort me when the lecture by her was end. But, I felt happy. She is not a simple lecturer. This motivates me to study. Unfortunately, I did not do well in my mid-term also as that week was my event.

This semester is considered as my philo sem. I keep on thinking Y. This contradicts with people's views nowadays. They just think I'm annoying. I don't do it just because I like. I just want to know WHY.

All the best, Tian Xin & everyone! =)
