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.

3 days 2 nights of Follow-up Visitation @ Temerloh, Pahang

As I've promised in my previous post, I'm posting now regarding my 3days 2 nights stay at my foster family's house @ Temerloh, Pahang. It was really rushing and risky to go back as I would be having Microeconomics and American History Mid-term test and I still hadn't touched the book. In addition, I didn't pay attention in the class for past few weeks.

During this period, I watched the most dramas in my life since Form 3, I guess. When I reached there around 6pm, I followed foster mother back. Glad to see back my "sha yi mei" and my "yi gou". Ha.. The dog was so excited when it saw me. It kept on following all the day and lay on my legs. Actually, it was due to the weather which kept on having lightnings. =P Just 1 hour, everyone was not at home, except foster grandma and foster brother, Fang Can. I did not dare to study in room. So, I was sitting on sofa to watch dramas for about 5hours. Cool man!

Next day, I did nothing. Many of them had followed their foster family to Taman Negara. Unfortunately, my foster dad was super duper busy so he assigned foster mom to bring me for delicious Tom Yam. After that, we then attended Fnag Can's Interact Installation Day. Wow wow wow...He was the President of Interact Club. But, I would prefer to stay at home to study instead of sweating (& "sweating") with them. I was still able to complete 2 chapters of notes. Whew~

At night, I was tricked by my foster dad to act as nurse for Parents' Day celebration. I promised as my foster sister said she'd act also. But, then, I only realized I was the youngest. Others were over 40 years old, at least. -.-" I didn't practise and my foster dad didn't tell me the detail. I was O.O when what he told me was not exactly the same when acting. He didn't tell me because he wanted "natural" reaction. What a JOKE!!! -.-" Then, that day, I found my foster brother was quite lame, kept on saying I was the "best" actor when foster dad asked how's the drama. We had our 2nd cake when back to house. Yummy~ Green Tea cake which I told my 2 younger foster siblings that it was so delicious. The cake would melt in your mouth and fill your mouth with green tea fragance. I kept on emphasing the MELT word. =P When photos were taken, songs were sung, we ate. I then asked Fang Can whether the cake melted in his mouth the second the cake entered his mouth. He said yes. But, actually, it was due to his saliva. Wahaha...

Next day, time for us to back to KL, everyone slept till very late. Lun Chi (foster sis) and I slept till 11.30am. Ha.. hmm..then, prepared and went home...

Prove that I was there

Rush post

I’m lazy to find where my happy diary is which I didn’t write since back from 19th CS due to lack of time. But, I really want to record my mixed feelings today.
I’m panic, really panic and stressed due to tests, assignments, and sponsorships which all are needed to be done by next Friday.

And, I'm just back from 19th CS follow-up visitation at Temerloh, Pahang. Glad to celebrate Father's Day with my foster family. Happy to meet my foster sister, Fang Hui. Funny to know my foster brother, Fang Can, that he's actually quite lame as me..ha..It's really funny to see someone who looks very serious all the time to joke coldly and laugh at lame jokes. Ha..My foster sister, cute~ ha..still same, as lame as me.. =)
Will upload blog on the 3days 2 nights stay at there as soon as possible after week 8.

Busy week 8:

Monday : Microeconomics test- haven’t prepared (will prepare after blogging)

Tuesday : American Republican test which everyone fears. 6 chapters to be completed but I haven’t even touched 1 pg ,…Wa~ =’( But, what makes me glad and touched and energetic in striving for good results is that I have FRIENDS…They are there to help me..Love them… Not to waste their effort, I’ll strive for the BEST!!!

Wednesday : Really need to interview NESH for ADV assignment due on FRIDAY. So far, Sai yung and I have just done 20%. And, both of us are having tests on Mon and Tues. So, most probably, we can only continue after Tuesday. Not to forget, I’ve also promised Wen Jye to help him on Wednesday night for making 10 souvenirs.

Thursday : My uncle’s wedding dinner at his house. Promised to help him after class at 10am. Now, I’m afraid that I can only help him after 2pm.

Friday : Not free for whole day from 8am till 12am. Uncle’s WEDDING DAY. Oh my, I haven’t even bought my dress. Just forget it!

Saturday : Complete 2 essays to hand up as tuition work which I have missed for 2 times on Sunday. So sorry, Mr.Hew!!!!

Sunday : tuition. Then, rest for minutes and HERE WE GO, CHARITY DRIVE (no eyes to see)… =S


I miss many~ Carol Duck, Weiling, Li San, SF1...Hope to see u soon~

STUDIES first....+ CLUB

WHAT??!!!

66% for my STATISTIC???

What a Joke?!

It's Math subject, my favorite subject. I can score A+ for sure!!! Haihz..

Average marks are 80%...

Even those who didn't do revision also better than me???

Ms. was shocked! O.O to see my results while I was shocked also O_O + =‘( when I received my results.

Oh my, everyone was saying it's STACT's fault. But, why? Perhaps it's true. But, I would say it's my FAILURE for having so lousy time and mental management.


No way!

I'm aiming FULL MARKS for next test which carries 25%.

Wahaha~

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???
