and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped…
for much, much more than a moment.
And then the moment was gone.
Sometimes things don't always go the way we planned. One night everything may just be perfect, and the next your whole world crumbles. Expect the unexpected. Hope for the best, but be prepared fr the worst cos' in this world, surprises (good or bad) will be thrown upon us sooner or later. Be prepared.
Okay, enough with the cheemness. Shall do a up a long update, tho not as detailed as i'd like cos' well my memory's quite rusty so yeaa...
1) RGS PEER SUPPORT SHARING 08 - 25th Oct
Met up with EXCO (except vina) at dhoby ghaut and took a bus to RGS. Oh man, i think we were suuuuuper nervours and trying to memorise all our slides. Cos' apparantly, Cedar and VS PSB had to share with all the 18 schools invited plus RGS. Met some St. Pats boys in the bus whom later told us that they were freaked when they saw us memorizing like hell on the bus as they thought everyone had to do some presentation or something of that sort. HAHA.
Anyway, registered and guess whaaat! We were splitted.); My group was called KINGS. Thank god there was a familiar face in my group. Mostly talked to this tkgs prefect vaishnavi, this hc guy whom i can't rmb the name =/ and by. Hmm, i cant rmb the rest of my members! oh mannn
Had icebreakers and then talks by the counsellor of RGS and another speaker which i can't rmb either. But fr the first speaker, i was damn freaked laaah. She went around the whole room asking ppl to demo stuffs fr her or asking his/her opinions on matters which im totally unfamiliar with. I didn't know whether to look away, and she'll think i don't want to be asked and then she'll want to ask me more or if i should keep eye contact but then she'll think im dying to answer or smtg =.= but I'm lucky! Both people behind and infront me were targets! Goodnesss
ANYWAY, after a long and nervous wait. It was finally time fr us to present. Gosh, i've never been THAT nervous in my life. But after verbalising a few sentances, felt much better.(:
Supposed to go home with by but many turned out to live in the east! so yay :] hmm overall enjoyed myself, learned alot, and omg the st pat boys did an arab dance! HAHAHAHA
Which was very entertaining and calmed me down abit.
I don't have my group's pic, and this happens to be the only pic i have (which C gave to me)
Oh wow, i look so cool lorh!2) MT O lvls - 5th nov
Oh my oh my.); supposed to be easy but i really dnkw. Hope it turns out well. I really didn't know whether to do karangan krits or naratif. ));
3) GUIDES ANNUAL CAMP '08 - 6th to 9th Nov
Camp Olympics - Ready, Set, Go!
Actually, i still can't believe they chose a theme i suggested. HEH CLAIMING CREDIT! Kidding kidding :) So fr this camp, i was placed in patrol Milo Susilo (EH THE NAME NOT MY IDEA WOKAAAY). hahah(:
I think camp went well overall, tho we took out some games we planned so hard for.
ECP was the most enjoyable fr me. Even tho i promised myself during icamp i would never ever inline skate, but i broke that promise anyway. Taught my manito(Li Ying) to cycle! Hehh :] And oh my SPOT AN OLYMPIAN was awesome fun :D
At least that's what it looked like fr fangwei and I who did the usual i/c stuff (supervising/walking around). THANK YOU KEMEI, DAMIA, AND DERYN fr going thru with the riduculous

4) Temasek Junior College 3rd Student Leadership Congress - 10 to 11th nov
Stepping Out, Stepping Up
I was all PHEW when they informed me i was in group 12 with jia ai. And deryn and Joyp were in goup 13 tgt too. Cos well frankly speaking, i was pretty intimidated with the overwhelming numbers of TJC-ians and JC students attending the congress and there were only like 5 sec schools?
So in group 12 there were:
Facils
Nivia aka Vee, Tiong Wei, Wen Chuen
TJC People
Syaz, Sharron, Yeow Choon, Guo Wei, Shimin, Shanmin
Others
Jerald (VJ), Wan Swen (VJ), Jia Ai and me.
Basically, my group rocked! Had an awesome time with them.
DAY ONE
After icebreakers, we went fr JOB-HUNT. Our group was splitted further into 3 smaller groups. I was grouped with Jerald and Rui Wen. Oh man, it was nothing short of awesome hanging with those two. SOOOO...our group was allocated KATONG MALL to find a job. Well, Jerald Ruiwen and I faced 9 rejections before reaching Duo Yuan Education centre on the 4th floor of katong mall. And the lady was from china, and didn't know any English.
SO YEA, we persisted on with the job. The lady really wanted to support our cause and gave us this letter to parents in which we had to translate frm chinese to english. And yes like Jerald said, i've never touched chinese fr my entire life (except sec1 whr i took csp) and so, i depended heavily on their traslating abilities.
We finished the letter at 1pm and the job was supposed to end at 3pm. So the lady decided to sit and talk to us, feeling that by sharing her personal experience, we would learn way more than physically doing something. So we had some sort of interrogating-cum-interview-cum-sharing session. She asked our names so the other 2 gave their chinese name, and i just said "amirah". And she asked if that was spanish! Goodnesss >.<
The first question she posed was: What would you do if your employer was dissatisfied with your work and criticized you and you feel that it is unfair?
One by one we had to give our answers. So stress! Hmm, i said something about asking my fellow colleagues if it was fair and if i'm the only one who thinks it's unfair then i'd just accept the criticism. And if the problem continues, i'd bring hte matter up and better negotiate or something.
She commented on all our answers. She said i cannot do such things in the working world. Said i should have a stand, not let others influence me and always know what i want. I'M ONLY 15 LEH. And she started asking us ideas on how to save a crumbling business....
Basically, we ended at 2. The other 2 groups were more sway than us. One group had to check expiry dates of products in 7-eleven. Another group worked at recharge station and did labour work, mopping, sweeping etc etc.
It was tiring, but really fun and fulfilling. (:
DAY TWO
JoyP wasn't feeling too well. ):
First half of the day were talks by Social Entrepenuer(sp?) Adrain Lim and Stephan Chow.
We were catorgorized into 4 different groups from a personality test: Results-oriented, Process-oriented, Ideas-oriented and People-oriented.
Jia Ai and me as well as 2/3 the audi were People-oriented! Our "leader" was super funny from the first sentance he spoke. :D Sadly, i am a push-over and tend to do anything to make people happy. Hahah :D and results-oriented people scare people-oriented people!
Survival race didn't go on as planned due to wet weather but we still had fun. Played many interesting games - unmelt a frozen cedar hse tee, make a sandwich blindfolded, play human vers of table soccer(GUOWEI has a phobia of soccery balls! LOL =/) , eat an apple dangling on a pole, throw an egg from the 3rd storey.
In short, i love my group and TJ SLC. Shall blog people's comments that they wrote about me. Overall, they feel that i'm really quiet and small. Hurrr): but rly ahh, my whole group's made up of JC people. Confirm intimidated whaaat. Oh well...
Guo Wei: You have been quiet but nontheless a great team player! :D
Yeow Choon: Small and Quiet girl!
Syaz: Tha past 2 days spent with you was a memorable one! :D Smart, likeable & polote girl. Omg, I shall alws rmb y, Azmi's sis! :D Keep in touch
Vee: So Cute!!! Smallest member but definitely not the weakest! After second day you've really stepped out & up! See you in TJ next year i mean in 2 years haha
Wan Swen: Hey amirah! thanks so much fr all the contribution in the grp! You're a rly sweet & pleasant girl & tho we nv talk much, it's really nice knowing you! I see a bright future ahead of you! Be a good leader alright! All the best. Come VJ!
Shanmin: Hi amirah!! Frankly speaking you are the one i like best!! Don't be so quiet and hope to see you soon yea. One more year to 'O' leve;! Work hard girl!!! and keep smiling liek you always do :)
Shimin: Hello! My fellow sister guide! A guide is useful and helps others!
