ME

Finally here for some updates even though I should be seriously touching my tax notes now. Realised I haven't updated my blog for more than 2 months. And a lot can happen in 2 months (but went unrecorded! Haiz). Shall try to rectify that in this highly summarised blog post.

Firstly, it was election on board IIC's Comm. Organising Events is an interest for me so am glad to be given the opportunity =) Started off not really knowing the elected team but within the 2 months, we slogged our hearts out, complained, comforted and encouraged each other. And ta da- friendships formed. Though we got sulky and pissed with each other at times especially with the mounting stress, at the end of the day we are still a team and that's what really matters. And it feels especially great to be part of the FE family with my fellow great directors (including my long time and current boss kelv!).

Then came FOC 08 where we welcomed our first batch of chipmunk babies. Once again a great batch of people and was really happy to see how they slowly bonded over the short 5 days. Yes all the mudslides and cheers did bring back nice memories of my own FOC days. And we finally got our revenge on initiation (though I was mostly very nice okie! haha). And the chipmunks actually took the champion title for cheer fight after n years and best of all, it was because of how united they were when they cheered! Once again, we live up to our slow, sweet and steady manner =)

The peak period of "SC" (can't name the real event name- heh heh) rolled in, and me and kelv totally had no time to catch a breather. Days and Nights were all spent on answering and composing emails, drawing up task allocations, etc etc. Gets the shivers just by typing this. Had to run out of classes to pick up or make urgent calls and my hp bills ran up to a scary $200++!!!

Then came the karma-points-increasing booth duty arrowing and I can say I would never in my whole life do it again (and I din noe why I was in charge of it either!?). The frantic calls for last minute replacements when people back out and throwing all the shit at innocent people at the last minute really made me so pissed with myself. Mr jive's name for me as female legolas is absolutely apt.

And it din help that boss and I were given tons of pressure and shit from a certain contact personnel due to his incomptence and attitude. And their lousy platform was seriously the icing on the cake of crap from them.They have no excuse for it as they are hosting a similar existing system and had 2 months to prep (when they promise a long time ago that they would only do it up in 3 weeks). *fumes*

But at the end of the day, was still glad SC happened cos it taught me lots of stuffs and help me see and appreciate the real people who supported and helped us all the way, especially through the launch. And it was a big test of understanding for the 2 of us and for time to come.

Then bang came hall ball which oh so coincidentally falls on the same day the SC Launch of which I earned relatively zero sleep. And so I drag my already 4 weeks severely sleep-deprived state to the hotel and successfully remained rather sane throughout the dinner and phototakings. It's the same old eating high-class (but not very nice) food, but with zero view of the stage. But it's the company that matters and was so glad that SC Launch is over that being involved in anything unrelated to SC makes me a happy person.

But my happiness was short lived cos it was on to 2 weeks of handling that $#*!@ organisation's complain mails cos they refused to furnish an email to handle enquiries about their lousy platform and insisted we handle it when we obviously have no solutions to all the technical related issues. Shows how effective and credible they are. Please don't ever work there or take up their service. Relish in my opinions of them and finally woke up to my senses that I should stop letting SC take over my life and start catching up on some school work (finally!) and social life. It's plain heck care but who's going to appreciate you for all the work and effectiveness? Definitely not that $#*!@ organisation.

So I am currently a very happy person who gets to be out with friends, send my friend off at the airport for her uni course, eat dinner with chipmunks, attend hall stuffs like mooncake fest (even if it's only for a short time) and do things which a normal student will do- study.

And I get to watch Wall.e and and eat unusual popcorns =) I will be good and stay this way for as long as I can. This I can promise!
