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

....Grow or not to grow!

"Am I growing maturely?" This is the question which I was asking myself since last semester. At first, I thought I'd clarified myself after attending Tzu Chi's reading book session during last sem break. I felt super motivated and "fresh" for the first few weeks, trying to cheer up and motivate everyone around me. I was really happy for the reason that I thought I've grown to be more mature! Unfortunately, I don't think I am for now. I don't feel as "xiao sha" as last time, keep on telling others "kai xin jiu hao", "ku zhong zuo le", "xiao yi xiao, shi jie zhen mei li",etc..

I really prefer the way I joked last time and this causes me to have the urge to "hypnotize" myself to become the "funny baby girl"called by those seniors ( though I don't really like the baby word because it really makes me to feel I'm small and unable to do things) , the "Famous Joker" named by my friends, "Xiao Xin" nicknamed by "Bruce Lee", or " Xiao Hai Zi" called by CK senior citizen.

Life may be simple to be back the old Tian Xin who joked every minute. But, this means that I'm not growing up because I hope to reverse back!!! It's really conflicting!

Hmm..But, I finally figure out my meaning of life! I still could be as funny and happy as previous TianXin, as long as it's not LAME! =) Congrats!

Life is actually really that simple!!!

Just be who you are and learn from your mistakes & this means growing for me!

I'm really proud of some people who hold the committee posts now. Yong Lee has really impressed me! He has really grown up! He's not as shy as last time who didn't want to speak much in front of others. Besides that, he could give nice feedbacks and motivate others, unlike those days when he just fooled around(maybe he was just hiding himself?). His growth makes me feel ashamed of myself because we were on same stage when first joined 19th CS but,now, I listen and really pay attention to his comments, indicating I respect him as senior now.

Besides Yong Lee, Corine is also growing. I always think she's better than me, in fact, she is. But, what has impressed me is she's improving to be better than past.

All the best for me as well! =)

Long time no quote..let me quote some from seniors' and advisor's speech!

"The moment you are embarrassed of who you are, you lose yourself!" (Yat Lei, 2009) - introduced during 2nd 20th CS training session.

"A good leader is from good followers!" (Jason,2009)- introduced during feedback session.

*Thanks to Yi ye ye, Yat Lei, who created 2pgs of newsletter all regarding my feelings and thoughts during last 19th CS. I really appreciate it! It reminds me the first feeling i joined STACT Club- this big family~ Sincerely, I really treated them as my family consisting of yi ye ye, yi shu shu, yi fu mu, and yi mei, not to forget babysitter as well. Honestly speaking, recently, I've lost the strong feeling of this family bond. So, once again, thx to yi ye ye who has reminded me the feeling. =)

AUP Farewell Dinner by STACT Club @ Yuen's Steamboat

Since joining STACT Club, I know more friends from different programs like A-Level, AUP, and others. And, we become like a big family after organizing 19th CS and Charity Drive.

Now, it's time to say bye-bye to some of them who will be leaving soon in 2 more weeks' period. So, yesterday- last day of July (310709), we had a bye-bye dinner with them at a not-so-romantic place, the Yuen's Steamboat Restaurant.

At first, Tian Xin suggested to go for RNC Steamboat Restaurant which offered BBQ, Steamboat, .... @ RM 19.80 only, also included drinks. She has organized 4 steamboat gatherings there. And, everything went smoothly. But, the day before the farewell dinner, she received a BIG BIG JOKE!!! After the seats were confirmed by Seng Kiet, she called to the restaurant for booking 30 seats.
And, GUESS WHAT???She was told that RNC wasn't exist anymore.

Here's the conversation:

TX: Hello, I want to book 30 seats for a farewell gathering tomorrow.
RNC: Oh, we can't make it.
TX: Why?? Fully booked?? thinking: OMG.
RNC: Not, we aren't offering anymore.We won't operate tomorrow.
TX: Har?Y?Holiday? thinking: what a coincidence!
RNC: nope, we have stopped operating.
TX: What???!!! since when? I thought I still saw your shop operating last week?
RNC: Oh, our boss decided to close it on last Sunday.
TX: .... (speechless) -.-"

So, finally, we went to the congested Yuen's steamboat where there are always people grabbing for CHICKEN WINGS. ha..This is what people call Yuen's! ("YUEN lai jiu shi zhe yang" -bc) 23 people went and later on 5 people joined just to enjoy the crazy atmosphere created by us.

Why I describe as crazy?
Reason 1: 23 of us sang birthday song when the unknown people were celebrated their friend's birthday next to our table. Funny..

Reason 2: Taking photos here and there at such a crowded place.

Reason 3 : discussing strategy to grab chicken wing. And, TianXin's table always got the most because there was an "Advisor of Grabbing Chicken Wing". =P

Reason 4 : King had uncountable prawns. Scary...

Crazy yet fun..But, honestly speaking, Tian Xin doesn't really like crowded place, esp when having meal.

Here are some photos to share:

(even You Liang was influenced by the crazy ones)


(Hmm..KING of Memo also has his cert???)


(Showing off cert??I aslo want to show off my bookmark!A weird one is trying to destroy my bookmark using his tongue!!!Shoo! Go away!)


(Why suddenly so many strangers? I thought only me and my "Step" sister (pinky)??)


Showing off cert they got for having dinner @ Yuen's??? or, cert showing they grabbed the most chicken wings??

~The end~

All the best to those who are leaving and human who will be having their final soon! =)

Posted by Tian Xin

La la la..Juz Smile >=)

I feel so relaxed these few days. Is it because of the end of Charity Drive? Perhaps it's true as I can "resign" from secretary post already. Ha.. Assignments done? Nope, I still left 2 assignments and 2 presentations which I hate the subject most - American Republican and Advertising.

Yesterday, I did something crazy again. I planned to watch Ice Age 3 alone again at Mid-Valley suddenly. But, I met Vivien and Xiao Tian and told them. They also wanted to watch. So, I decided to inform the only ones we met. See fate~ Ha..As planned (2 hours ago ^.^), we gathered at concourse at 4pm. There were so many STACT ones like John , Fernie, King, Chew Lian, .... Wa~ What a fate! I asked them to watch together, they were so excited and asked when to watch; but, then theychanged to a lame face when I answered "NOW". Ha.. Funny to see their "sweat" face. Waited and I finally realized that why there were so many of them. That wasn't fate lar! They were there to gather to pray. -.-"

Delayed time, seen the ex- Top 3 of 19th RS fooling like kids, crapped, joked,..., we finally arrived Sunway Pyramid at6pm with Wai Hong's "pro" driving skill, "wai lai wai qu". Ha.. =S
Wow! The queue was so short, no people at all. So, when we reached, we bought tickets to watch at 6.30pm.

Hmm..Not bad, the movie, suitable for kids and lame ones.

Due to dissatisfaction f the degree of craziness yesterday, I popped up another sudden plan again- staying back at college to play ping pong. Wee~~ The SKY agreed as it was raining, forcing me to stay back. Thx fo Wen Jye for being willing to play with lousy player like me. Hate King for taking revenge from me by hitting the ping pong ball so hard... -.-"

Kang Kai was here today too. Child abuser~ I'm gonna tell yi ye ye, yi fu mu and babysitter that he bullied me!!! Bad Kang Kai. But, I don't think they'll help me as they betrayed me by telling Kang Kai that I imitate his way of speaking. Help!!!

Around 8pm, we finally moved for dinner. The people were abonormal....as me? nope. I'm normal. Ha..They kept on laughing for nothing. Haihz..Pity them~

La la la...Juz smile will do =)

TianXin's in the process of becoming energetic again.

*Cheers ~ I got 42/50 for my microecon test which I studied last minute after back from Follow-up Visitation. (Honestly, I didn't pay attention in class due to over-tiredness that caused me to sleep)

Also, I've improved in my America Republican tests for 10 marks (70/100) which I also studied last minute due to lack of time after coming back from Follow-up visitation and preparing Microecon test on Monday. (Tuesday was the American republican test). I was shocked when I saw that I could still score in my MCQ part which I shaded the answers randomly as I didn't prepare for MCQ part. Ha..

Now I aim, at least :
ECN-> A+
STAT-> A
ADV-> B
HIS-> B

...in my final

"The last thing to lose is hope!"

GOOD LUCK, everyone >.-

Charity Drive May 09 ^.^

Charity Drive

As a secretary, I played an important role in Charity Drive as the whole committee relied on me to issue memos for booking of equipments and venues. It was really a challenge to me as I haven't taken such role before. I didn't know the departments well. Hence, this really had made me crazy and damaged my brain cell. (Even milk couldn't save my brain cell) My studies were greatly affected. I kept on forgetting things. What a disaster! Really hate those red tapes! I needed to keep on changing the memos and taking to all departments to be approved. Funny -.-" However, I would like to try once again after becoming as member who really takes part in organizing. So far, I haven't really joined in organizing. I was publicity in last project and secretary in Charity Drive event. So, when the event started, I was back-up of helping out other departments instead of planning something.

After busying for 4 days with so many activities like basketball tournament, food fair, games fair, Haunted House and car wash service, Charity Drive May 2009 had finally come to an end on Friday night (3rd July 09) with the last event- Charity Night held at ICSJ Basketball Court.

Charity Night

For Charity Night, I was assigned to be the usher. I would like to express my gratitude to the one who noticed my "professional" skill as usher during the karaoke session at 19th CS project and suggested me to be usher. Also, thx to them who only told me one day before the Charity Night, when we had our last minute rehearsal. -.-"

Yi fu and yi ye ye came early to "observe" us while we were busy preparing the food for sale. Sherine and I were in charge of booth selling snacks and desserts. Unexpectedly, the food was sold out so fast. So, we needed to keep on preparing with non-stop action. Pro! And, finally we gave up when there were no more food to be cooked. -.-" So, instead of closing our booth at 8pm as planned, we stopped selling at 4pm.

Charity Night started at 8pm. Team spirit, joyful atmosphere, smiling faces and laughters were all around the basketball. &pm, everyone got ready. The audience came one by one. Everyone was busy doing his work.

As usher, I waited at the entrance to welcome VIPs and STACT alumni like Kang Kai, Yat Lei, Chin Lim, etc..
Oh my, VIPs walking towards the entrance, reaching, and finally smiling with us...As discussed, I followed the back of VIPs while Celine led them. Oh my! I was regret to do so as the STACT alumni were at the back of VIPs. As a professional usher, I welcomed the alumni but was bullied by Kang Kai. He squeezed my FACE with his hands. WA~ Child abuser...He delayed me, forcing me to run like a kid to follow the VIPs. Hate him! =P

Standing there like "models" really made Celine and I feel stupidly, especially when inviting the guests to stage, like they didn't know the MCs were calling their names. Ish..

Finally, during performances, ushers were allowed to rest and loiter around. I sat beside Yi Fu. So obedient. ha..
Beside him was the basketball guy (still not willing to call his name =P ). I asked Yi fu whether he needed me to buy herbal egg and peel for him as I promised to practise filial piety towards "parents". He refused. Sad..But, then, Richard- the lame guy, came and sold herbal eggs to them. They bought instantly. What lar.. They even replied that they purposely didn't want to buy from me. So, in return, I said I didn't want to peel for them. They said, "Whatever" because they ( 2 senior citizens) saw wrongly and thought the eggs were peeled. When they realized, they changed rapidly, softening their voice when calling my name and asking for my help. Wahaha..Oh. First time hearing their voice to be so nice like melody, not sound pollution =P "Tian Xin, Tian Xin..." As a good, nice and obedient yi nv, I helped yi fu (Choong Kooi) as I promised him before and ignored the basketball guy. But, finally, I helped him as well. Also, I asked Kang Kai to buy 3 more herbal eggs. He was so "happy" and "willing" to buy. He was so kind that he gave off the herbal eggs to other seniors. Ha..

Then, it was finally ended with lucky draws. Hmm..Nothing funny to discuss..And, here's the end.

CS Vs CD

First, let me explain what are CD and CS.

CS, Community Service, is a 1 week program carried out by a group of 34 INTI students from STACT Club at unknown rural area during our semester break. Everything was tough there. We needed to adapt to new environment for 1 week, carry out non-stop activities there, and face many unexpected situations like lacking of materials, etc.. It was really tiring but many sweet memories I got from there.

CD, Charity Drive, is an event by STACT Club as well. We need to carry out activities like basketball match, food fair, games fair, etc. throughout 5-day period. This can be said tougher for me as everything needs to move on while everyone is taking care of his studies as well. So, many things will be slowed down and unconsciously ignored by members.

Comparing CS and CD, I would say that I prefer CS (Community Service) more, more and more!!!

First of all, I don't feel they are united while preparing for CD (Charity Drive)!!!

Some have been absent for all meetings. And, some are busy with other clubs' activities. This can't blame them. In contrast, I feel proud of them and want to thank them. For example, Ee Lian, who takes a high position in CCS (Chinese Cultural Society), still does her best to finish tasks assigned to her.

While for others, I'm speechless. These types of people, I would say that without them, work will be done much more smoothly!!! At first, I thought that every single one from 19th CS team is united like a family. But, after carrying out the tasks as a secretary during the preparation of this event, I realize this is WRONG!!!

Those people can be divided to..
1. "WORDS speak louder than ACTION" ; These people just know how to talk, talk and talk but do nothing. They plan this and that but are not willing to take the action!!! Also, this type of people always thinks he wants to do well but actually not!!!

2. "BABY" ; This kind of people needs to be pushed and spoon fed, just wait, wait and wait. Tian Xin:" Ish!"

3. "NEGATIVE ". ; Before doing, he just says HARD and IMPOSSIBLE! This type of people makes me speechless and Tian Xin would like to say "Bye-bye" or "Sayonara" to him!

4. "PUSH" ; pushing all the work to others.TianXin would say," Pls do bang the wall yourself!"

5. "SLOW MOTION" ; Have been asking things from these people but need to wait for long long long reply from him or even no reply. Even when they got the info, they won't come to you and tell you even though you have just asked them 1 or 2 days ago. TianXin:" Grr.."

I can feel the TOP 3s' pressure! It's like pushing the rock yourself! It's like shouting tousands of people to gather!

Through the period of preparing for CD, I could only feel and get spirit from just a few ones, maybe not even 10 among the 26 who are committee members of CD!

I learn from this that everything needs to be FAST and STRAIGHT! Just say "OUT" to those who are not interested start from beginning!

Ha..I'm mean and I mean it!

I like the moments when everyone works like a team, just like CS.
The only moment makes me feel like working as a team during CS is yesterday's banner drawing. Everyone went back, just left Wen Jye, Sai Yung, Vivien, Wai Hong, Marcus and me. Not to say others were not willing to work. They worked for whole day. I just like the feeling of working together and having meal together after completing the work.

Where is the TEAM SPIRIT???

Meeting with foster brother+Post Mortem of 19th Community Service+President OKC's birthday

I'm the treasurer of the main board of STACT Club now. Actually, Yat Lei did ask me what post I'm interested but I'm still blurred of the position so I said,"Anything". So, they assigned such nice post for me---the TREASURER!

As a treasurer, I start learning how to count precisely.

I had forgotten that I needed to attend post mortem at 6pm, Wednesday. And, I made appointment with my foster brother for the sake of my mom. As I mentioned, he is a backup national badminton player and my mom is publishing a series of comic about badminton. So, we set our meeting time at 5.30pm (because foster brother's training session ends around 5pm).

"Time is money". As a treasurer, I counted and finally decided to skip my class at 4pm-6pm to attend the dinner with my foster brother near my house and his training center as it eased mom, foster brother, me, ....

At night, I stayed at Vivien's hostel. Due to President's birthday, we felt that we should join their swimming pool session but not going for swimming. Everyone was thrown into swimming pool besides Supeng(due to her newly set hair), Vivien (privilege of a female) and me who just didn't want to get wet though it was actually no problem to be wet but psychologically, I didn't want to be wet without being ready psychologically while staying at other's place. Everyone was so bad, trying to throw me into swimming pool. Luckily, "Xu ba ba" protected his "Hai zi". Nice father!

3 students passed by. I could recognize one of them who refused to join STACT when I asked him to join. I stopped him and his friends, asking him to join our throwing session which he was thrown not he threw others. Ha..
Pity him...He's still not our new member but I joked with others that he is. But, what really made me funny was he did it himself by jumping into the water. O_O ha..

Suddenly feeling I'm so "cruel". Wahaha...

Fisrt day of returning to EARTH

The day after returning from Pahang, our new semester started. First day of schooling, everything was in a mess. I didn't enroll due to the congested departments. I then kidnapped another 4 19th CS team members to watch movie with me. Kidnapped ones were Su Peng, WaiHong, Yong Lee and Zjen Thak who really was kidnapped by us when he was just entering the Inti compound. Ha..

A funny movie but meaningless, I could say.

After movie, we went to meet others to clean up our things brought back from Community Service, beside the SSD office. And, we had our dinner at Kim Chi Pan Mee shop. We joked and imitated each other's action again. Swt..

2nd day of Community service, most enjoying day..

Early in the next morning, I followed my foster mom to the MCA building 1hour early because she works at 8am. So, I reached the MCA building early and ChoongKooi (the advisor) was waiting for me to bring me back to the place where he and Jason(another advisor) stayed because it was too early and I had no place to go.

We then gathered at MCA building to prepare our next activity, doing survey. We realized that many children stopped their school and started to work since young. Haihz... We were like Aliens to them. They didn't dare to open door for us. We met one which was even funny because she pretended like nobody at home when we knocked the door. Then, her phone rang. And, we tried knocking again. She had no choice but to admit she was at home. She opened her window only to be interviewed by us. Swt.. -.-"

After that, we had our lunch at MCA building. This was the time when I started to have backup "Yi fu mu"(foster parents). So funny to say that both are guys. They were arguing who to play the role of "Yi Mu". I decided to give Jason such loving role as my Yi Mu. Ha.. All went home with their foster parents to have lunch while I followed my "yi fu mu" back to rest. My backup foster family grew larger after our next event-basketball match. I got a foster sister, Stephanie, who joined us to have dinner because she was the person in-charge for next grand event-- Singing Competition.

We had lots of fun when resting at our backup foster parents' house. Hmm..I just realized that I'm pro in imitating others. I first wore YatLei's name tag and imitated the way he talks, then, KangKai and followed by Jason, ChoongKooi.... Yea, yea..It was my fault to lead others to act crazily like me. ChoongKooi and Jason imitated each other's action just like using a mirror. -.-"

See the photos below because it’s really hard for normal ones like us to imagine how they acted so stupidly..Ha..=P

Tata~ The craziest but happiest time for me. The singing competition started. There were so many human beings gathering at MCA building, wearing their super duper "modern" suits. I was one of the dancers (Don't think too much, just motivational dances). Papa~ @_@ But, seeing others, especially Fernie who kept on teaching me till the end even though she was actually nervous that time, I tried my best to master the 2 dances. In the end, I enjoyed very much.

I'm always an obedient one. LiYing gave me some tasks like inviting the standing human beings to sit, asking our own people not to gather as it would be not nice for having a bunch of people... Due to these given tasks, the whole night, I created many quotes + actions. Till now, they still like to copy mine and use them every time when they see me. -.-" I think I need to charge them.

7 days of preparation before going to another planet...

Before starting, I'm glad to announce to my friends who care for me so much that I scored 3A and 2B in last semester. Not bad..Hee...

After final, we started our preparation work for 19th Community Service (changed name, no longer rural service) on Monday early morning. Perhaps, US (urban service) is a good name too. Ha...

1st day(Mon, 20/4)
We attended talk by MCA from 9am till 6pm. tired yet funny. Nothing much to comment.

2nd day (Tues, 21/4)
I didn't really do many. I started to arrange my booklet. One word to describe--FREEZE. Thanks to INTI's powerful air-cond, especially in the library. I was busy and wasn't willing to have lunch till I finished my work in library. Felt sorry to them. They kept on calling me and asking me to have meal first. They even assigned the photographer to bring me back to where they were. I still spent some time discussing with my assistant. And, finally, Adviser successfully brought me to have lunch at 4pm. I could easily obey him because I respect senior citizen. I went back around 8pm and waited for mom to fetch me to her office to complete the name tags.I reprinted 38 of them with color till 2am with my mom at her office. Felt sorry to her again. She didn't scold me.

3rd day (Wed, 22/4)
This is a special day for me. I remember clearly what did really happen on that day. I wasted the whole day time from morning 9am-12am by just doing souvenirs which finally failed due to my "jiang cuo jiu cuo" attitude. I even wasted others' effort who helped me, especially the photographer. When it reached 11pm, I planned to stay at INTI to finish them. My brain cell system was seriously damaged!!! But, they didn't allow me to stay. They insisted me to go back and they'd help me to complete. Oh my, this was even worse. So, I went back at 12am and continued doing my penholder even though they insisted that they would help me. ...Worked till 3am. My heart was calmed and I could really come out with something which I called souvenir. The whole day was full with crazy jokes. Ha..really fun.

4th day (Thurs, 23/4)
I woke up at 7am to continue my booklet and went to my mom's office to finalize the booklet. Rushing here and there. And, due to my careless attitude, my booklets are full of wrong words. So sry again...Haihz..After finishing, mom fetched me again to Inti to print the 230 copies of booklets around 5pm. Haihz..mistake of mine again. I didn't check with mom that I needed to save the booklet in PDF format. So, finally, we just could photostat them instead of printing the whole book. So, some effects are gone. I felt calmed the whole day due to yesterday's tragedy. When I joined them, I quietly worked with my souvenir. And, glad to say that I did really finish my souvenirs for 1 event; sad to say is that I still don't know how to work with others. I can only do my work well by myself. The whole day, I did it quietly and refused anyone to help. I also became an obedient girl. When President asked to have meal, I followed them instead of refusing. 8pm, my booklets were born. But, unfortunately, many mistakes. Haihz...I worked till 12am again. But, honestly, I didn't ask mom to come late like days before. I waited her, accompanied my babysitter -- President, while doing my work. When back means back. I didn't think of staying again. See~ how obedient I am...=) ..I learnt my lesson.

5th day (Fri, 24/4)
This day, our first event, the 19th CS opening ceremony @ ICSJ
President of Inti Education Group, Mr. Tan Yew Sing, came surprisingly. Haihz..And, this caused our RS President to be perasan because this is the first time President Tan attended. RS President becomes perasan, perasan, perasan...la la la...ha..

I continued doing my souvenir for next event--FILE.
Hmm..Nothing much to talk for this day.
one word--FUN. Ha..

6th day (Sat, 25/4)
Attended an informal talk by Ms. Jessyln. And, we did a small personality test. Glad to say that I'm 女人中的男人. Ha..means I'm tough? or, I'm careless? Ha..whatever. This can be said as my last day to do preparation because we would be staying at Inti the next day (sun). I was so afraid.
To strengthen the bonds between members, we had 2 little games to promote teamwork.
And, that's the day where I started my quote "Time is money, no money, no honey, no honey, no party, no party, not happy". Though they are just small games, everyone did enjoy.

7th day (Sun, 26/4)
Rushing here and there to pack my things. After tution, I only reached Inti at 5pm while others reached there at 12.30pm. Sorry again for having such leniency by them. We had a session of heart-to-heart talk. Evryone was required to talk. Many cried. I felt touched but didn't really cry. When it reached my turn, I didn't know how to talk.Too sentimental, I guess. TianXin's style is joking. Ha..We distributed the publicity's artwork that day. I felt happy for seeing everyone wearing my name tag and taking t-shirt designed by me. Luckily, I didn't give up designing last time. All the time spent to make corraction and design was worth. =)
All of us didn't sleep that day. Everyone was superone that day. Pro~

Then, here we go!!! Mentakab, Termerloh, Pahang, MAlaysia, The Earth....ha...

Funny 3rd RS Training... =)

Hmm..Again, a funny training and I even had more fun today as I really joined in the training instead of staying at the corner to do my publicity work.

Only a senior (Choong Kooi) came to visit us, the "kids". When seeing him to be there, I was so happy, thinking that my t-shirt design can be saved! He's a profession in that. But, as usual, he just commented "OK", "Can de la",....And, I ended up to use back the same design, just need to do a bit of correction. Grr...I don't care d! Even it's ugly and childish, the members must wear it! Wahaha..."Xi guan jiu hao" =P

Then, break time again at 12pm, because of the 2 senior citizens' words, we went to pasar to have lunch. So far~ and we had limited time only...During the breaktime, I only realized that my msn conversation was being exposed to almost the whole committee! I would like to express my gratitude to my dear president and publicity assistant. -.-" Ha..kidding la..I won't really be angry because of that. But, I was shocked ( O.O ) when suddenly some of them who I don't really know came and told me.Haihz..no image d.. =) They discussed while I was enjoying my lunch (This time is really a lunch, no more brunch as I learnt my lesson last time- Eat something before having next meal with them). Smart! =)

We continued the training after lunch. I did really enjoyed the dances today, probably because of the not-so-fast speed. And, with a funny senior(Bernard) beside me to teach and motivate me to act stupidly when dancing. Ha...

We also played kid's game but really needed to use a little brain energy, counting "一只青蛙，跳下水，dom! ;两只青蛙，两只青蛙，跳下水，跳下水，dom! dom!.......". We played till 12 frogs and I was the last who lost. -.-" Why couldn't the leader stop this game earlier???...Ish..Must be targeting me. Once I lost, he said enough. So, as a punishment, we were asked to dance in front, shaking butt dance. Ha... "Xi guan jiu hao"..I also had other committee members to accompany me as almost the half committee lost too. Ha.. We danced firstly and were demanded to shake our butt for the second time. The second time was more fun as the whole RS team danced together. The view was quite touching, even not losers also danced together. Ha.. =)

Feedback time....

As usual, committee stayed back to talk. Everyone talked honestly from the bottom of heart, thanking him and her, apologizing to him and her,...

I was asked to talk and comment but I really don't know what to comment. The advisor lo, kept on choosing people who I'm not close with, like photographer who I met for the 3rd time only, to let me comment. But, I don't think I know how to comment, somemore need to say their disadvantages. Haihz.. I tried but still failed. And, the advisor suddenly popped up a golden speech - "Later after meeting, we throw this baby into swimming pool". + . + *Speechless... I answered "Bu hao xiao" and as I mentioned before they are weird ones, they still laughed madly after I said not funny. Haihz...

Then, everyone was asked to tell his own feeling regarding the assignation as committee. Ha! We only realized that we were all cheated by the president, except me. =) I feel that the president is cheated by me rather I'm cheated by him. He needs to take the trouble to train a super fresh one like me who hasn't joined any clubs before. The process to meet STACT was very funny.
I always assume president picked me using "Mini Maini Mini Mo..Who should be the publicity?" because I don't know anyone in STACT. Whatever~ I'm so lucky =)

2nd RS training...

I really had fun with them.

Today, I joined the committee group to have my brunch (combination of breakfast and lunch) at McDonald. -.-" Err...one word to describe- siao! (means crazy and also laughing) I thought that I could finally enjoy my "Happy Meal" at McDonald but I would rather don't have any meal during the break time because I was laughing madly all the time. -.-" I also don't know what's so funny with me. They what also laughed at me. They bullied me! Wa~ Child abuse! They kept on taking me as laughing stock. The vice president was even "cruel". He asked a little girl like me to memorize the background of other members in committee (total 7ppl). Wa~ I also didn't take my breakfast. How could my brain cell remember?! But, they insisted, causing me to have difficulty in swallowing my double cheeseburger. Finally, I finished up my burger but felt like vomiting, just burger because I'd no appetite to have my french fries.

Then, as what they planned, they really shouted my name out to talk about the background of my members. I couldn't understand what's so funny. When I just started to talk, they laughed. -.-"

After that, it was training time again. And, I skipped it. The dances are all so complex and active. I couldn't remember and dance smoothly, like robot. So, I didn't join it, just doing my publicity work-- designing poster.

Finally, it reached 5pm. We decided to celebrate one's birthday secretly again. Due to my easily laughing attitude, I decided to buy cake with another committee(treasurer). We went to Cake Sense(near Neway that building) instead of choosing from Baker's Cottage which is much nearer to Inti (opposite). Ha..

We acted so stupidly, causing troubles to others. So sad... We walked there and ran back. =.=

I also don't understand what had made us to go that far way to buy a birthday cake. Ha..

...........................................................................................................................................................................

At night,..

I heard from my sifu that many members of committee cried. The secretary even called up, saying that she wanted to stop it. But, my sifu comforted her and asked her to come today and enjoy it. Can't imagine. She's even active than me and laughs more than me. I didn't realize till I was told at night.

Then, another is group leader who broke into tears suddenly when she couldn't stand the pressure because the deadline for the proposal is today and her members didn't do their part. The deadline is set today because president going to rural area for survey by tomorrow. He needs the proposals.I knew she was upset but didn't realize she was away for a while because of crying.

And, finally, the piteous president. He's a nice and caring one. Also, a creative one which I didn't notice till today. Almost same like Chin Lim who is sharp in seeing things. He may look blurred but indeed he's sharp. I'm stubborn sometimes. What I think is good, I won't change it unless I understand what's wrong with my decision. Today, being asked by him, I tried to design another version of poster and compared to my first version. It's really much better than my first version, commented by other seniors as well. (seniors didn't know president commented before)
Also, he has serious eye problems which might cause him to blind. If undergo an operation, he might only succeed for 20%! And, now, he's working so late everyday as our president and a student (he's not so good academically but I would say that he's a good and caring leader). He didn't even take enough of rest. This was told by my sifu and the president doesn't want anyone to know. Only the seniors know about it.

Haihz..Actually, I'm not that piteous. Good Luck to RS! =)

To CHS...celebration of STACT member..

CHS first...

This morning, I went to CHS to collect my SPM Cert and get principal's signature for my PTPTN agreement. While I was waiting for Pn. Lee in her office, I looked aroung and found many trophies. I'm really proud to be a CHSian though only 2years. =) Pn. Lee Kim Lai looks caring. Hee.. She asked me about my education. After that, mom and I had our breakfast at canteen. It has changed much. The types of food have increased. Now, you can even buy waffer there. Unfortunately, I could only have porridge but nothing due to sick-feeling, no appetite. =(

Then, I went to INTI for class till 2pm and had my meal at McDonald, thinking that I could have place to study but, actually, had just read few pages. And, I received msg from STACT again, asking me to gather at INTI concourse as they planned to celebrate one's birthday secretly. So, I went. The birthday guy was there, still thought that we had meeting. Ha..

Then, suddenly, our discipline master shouted us to gather. As I mentioned before, STACT is a discipline club. We have a plenty of rules to obey. So, we quickly put down our things and lined up as usual, in group. The discipline master shouted the birthday guy's name and asked him to stand in front, fiercelyyyy! If I didn't know we were celebrating his birthday, I would be frightened because discipline master really looked strict. Ha.. The birthday guy was frightened. He was asked to say what had he done wrongly (你知道你犯什么错吗？）. Ha.. He answered that he still carried with his bag while being shouted to gather. Discipline master then asked again, for quite many times. The blurred birthday guy still looked frightened and tried to explain why he didn't put his bag aside. Wahaha...Everyone was laughing, included me. I couldn't stand it as I was standing just in front of them due to my height. -.-" hee..

Finally, discipline master also couldn't stand already. I saw it. He was laughing but still needed to pretend fiercely. Pity him...ha.. So, he announced the blurred birthday guy's birthday! Then, birthday songs....

Funny...=)

"Stepping into others' shoes"

2nd RS meeting(should be 3rd but i missed the first meeting)...

Today's meeting was fun maybe because we have known each other in the committee quite well and can joke together. After my class (8-10am,2-4pm), I went to the meeting place and waited for the meeting to start at 5pm till 7pm. Really exhausted!

As the head of publicity, I was asked to present my artwork, viz., name tag design, t-shirt design and the design of theme for booklet. President then asked me to explain. I was shocked and brain cell couldn't function for a while! Actually, still functioned quite fast because I asked each of the committee member to imagine and tell me what they could see from my design first instead of explaining at the second. ha..smart,yea? =P After passing through, I still finally needed to explain. Ha..Don't know what I was trying to say. I didn't know how to express my view. -.-" Then, president "rescued" me! He suggested to let him say about his feeling. Wow..Exactly the same like what I wanted to say. Ha.. Actually, quite obviously la, just others are lack of imagination. Wahaha..

The booklet was commented the best among other artworks. So happy to hear it... =) The president said very nice d. Ha..thx to my senior for his honest comments. Name tag was commented as good. Then, the t-shirt wasn't that good. I was thinking of happiness and kids while designing so I made it as simple and as "childish" as I could. The members had a little comments, just asking to add something. Reagen had the most comments maybe due to the theme contributed by him. He commented funnily, like "I prefer open wings.....,etc.." But, while I was jotting down, he concluded like that," Err.. Actually nothing la, you just follow yours. It's already good." *Fainted. -.-" Swt..

After the meeting, I only started to get real and useful comments from the president, 清蒸(don't laugh, I know you're laughing but his name is really pronounced like tht ma). =P

I stayed back for a while. He really did inspire me. He asked me to step into others' shoes when designing like to imagine how the kids will read the words on our t-shirt, what will be covered if the shirt is too long, and most importantly, the design! What type of impression will be given to people there for wearing t-shirt. We're college students. So, we should design based on our age. (means my design is quite childish -.-") turn a big round to describe childish. Ha..Actually, TianXin's nothing. She prefers honest comments. =)

Wa~..too much to write..late now. stop here. night!

hi! I'm a new born baby~

Hi, everyone! I'm a new born baby by STACT. My level is 0 now.

Ha..feeling weird?
After joining STACT club for a period, I really feel I'm a nobody who has no skill, no knowledge, etc..
Now, I'm learning how to deal with people again, manage time, be a more responsible one, master the art of conversation, etc..

I'm now an apprentice of the STACT advisor. My "Sifu" is nice but a bit 长气。 Shh~ =P

"Happy Growing!" to me. =)

First 19th RS training session

Though the training session was really long from 9.30am till 7.30pm (delayed from 5pm), I still feel that the time passed that fast because I still haven't mastered the dances. Luckily the dances are not of big action. We are actually dancing with hands using sign language. I like it!!! It's more meaningful! Haihz..my left hand is still that "cacat". Also, I learnt them very slowly. =(

Besides dancing session, we also had ice-breaking session which we played games together to get close with each other. I really somehow admire the motivational group leader who can act stupidly. Really stupidly!!! No exaggerating! He's really brave not to care for his image at all. Ha..
Claps to me for not being punished today for losing in games. Actually, I almost needed to use my butt to write letters like those losers. The first game was using another person's identity and act as him. I chose to be a guy named You Liang. When I was asked what's his degree of short shortsightedness by the group leader in front of everyone. I simply guessed and said 400 degree. But, surprisingly, the answer is 800 for one eye!! Wow! 400 already very high but unexpectedly he has that high degree. He helped me by giving me hint. I was caught by the chou group leader and almost became loser. But, when he asked the whole club whether they did see me cheating. Everyone said NO! ha..so, forcefully, I was free. hee.. Whew~

The seniors came back to guide and share experience with us today. They are quite old actually. Some are even 10 years older than us. They are strict but I think I will really learn much from them! Looking forward what will TianXin become when mixing with them. Of course, TianXin won't be like the motivational group leader who has no image. Hee..

Too much to describe and hope to share with my readers but really too long and if you don't experience, it would be like telling old time stories which would be very boring. Hee..so, my advice, if there's an opportunity for you to join such event, just go for it! It's indeed enjoyable though tough. But, you'll learn things for sure, like working as a team with discipline but still can joke together.

=)

Themes...

We, committees, were asked to contribute an idea each for theme. I suggested "有志者，事竟成". I think it will certainly encourage the kids in rural area to continue their education pathway as I always use it to encourage myself. But, I found that the response wasn't that good yesterday. There was only the vice president who kept on supporting me till the end but my theme still was out of the choice. Instead, many voted 梦之翼 as theme for our club members to burn up spirit among members. The idea of this theme is originated from a game. Honestly speaking, I don't think it's suitable for our theme. In fact, it seems to be more on dreams.

On the way back home, I consulted mom (my personal adviser as she has lots of experience in kid's activities). She suggested 智心。Oh ya! Why I didn't think of it?! I could ensure that it would be accepted. Just see what does it mean! 有智慧的会员抱着爱心开心地完成任务 ！ 智慧+爱心， 做起事来也开心！ =）Isn't this is the motto of our club??? I quickly sent sms to vice president. But, the next day, the chairperson didn't seem to have the thought of changing. I also don't know whether I should persuade them to use this theme because everything was set yesterday. If I try, I'm afraid that I'll hurt another committee's feeling though he got it from game. What should I do?

Now, we just left another theme to encourage the kids in rural area. I think of using 有志事成 instead of the long one. This is what mom suddenly sent sms this early morning(8am) to tell me though she didn't think that's a good theme for kids as it is quite 沉。It would create burden for kids instead of making them to get interested with studying. So, do you, readers, have any idea?

Having serious mental block now....
