A Day when My Gd Bro Left

Today is the day that Jia Xin left for the States. Went to T3 to send him off and both Guan Jie and Jarryl came with their parents too. It was really happy and sad to see him go but is a journey we have to go thru in life. Later on four of us went to Wang Cafe to have breakfast, Kaya toast, tea and eggs. Later talking away laughing our hearts. We too photos as well after the breakfast. Its really something we will not forget.

After that, we send him off to the departure gate. It was a sad moment for me but I held on to my tears not to cry. Take care, bro..... we will truly miss you...... All the best over there and study hard!!

An Enjoyable Day (Part II)

Immediately after the Forum, I rush over to AMK Hub to meet my friend who is bringing me to watch Elva Xiao showcase concert at the Max Pavillon at Singapore Expo.

Before that, we eat at New York New York at the Basement. I eat the Vegetable Lasagne.
As we are running late, we take a cab down from AMK.

When we reached there, there are already long row of queues to get into the venue. I can tell u..... wow... so many people. Finally we manage to squeeze into the venue.

We waited still 8.3o pm until FM 93.3 DJs come out to introduce Elva..... it is really a interesting experience. She sings some new songs in her latest album and some old ones as well. It is reallly a walk in memory land as I heard Elva's songs before..... Below are some photos, I have taken for you all to enjoy... sorry that it a bit small.....

An Enjoyable Day (Part I)

Today is the long awaited PAYM Policy Forum @ Ang Mo Kio GRC. Finally after many months of planning. For does of you who do not those what is this, is actually a Forum organised by the Youth Executive Groups from different CC in AMK GRCs. We will invite Youth from 21 to 35 to come together to express their way on certain topics and issues.

The topic is Arrival of the Stork - Bliss or Woe?. It is mainly touching on the recent low birth rate in Singapore and provide responses on whether the policies are helping a not. It is quite an exciting and interesting experience .... I am selected as one of the three faciliators for the breaking up discussion groups. It is really interesting to talk to different people in my group and most of them are really active in expressing their way.

After that, we invite three panelists in to take the Forum proper. They are Dr Helen Chen, Psychiatrist from KK hospital; Ms Chong Cheh Hoon, Vice-President (Content) from Family Focus and Dr Lam Pin Min, MP.

All of them give us an interesting view about this issue and I feel that Ms Chong's explanation is the best. I will write some interesting point. She says that the reason why Generation Y (which is us) are not getting married is because there is a mind-set change and egotist. They don't want to listen to Generation X (which is our parents) on any issues. This generation is very brand caution and they prefer self-fulfillment. Any answers, they just for it on the internet.

Straight away after this, we went straight into Q & A about this topics. At first is a bit slow, but it started to pick up.

In end with a good note and we all enjoy ourselves with dinner and a group photo. Below is the poster designed by my Youth Group member, Agnotti and also my official pass....haha!!

To be continued.....

The September Holiday Week

Today is Friday 5 Sept 2008, 5 days have gone for the September holiday and I can say that it is can enriching and enjoyable one.

The whole of the week I conducted extra classes for my Sec 1 and 2N1 classes. I am really thankful for them who have come, to all of you I really appreciate it.

Besides that, I have done a few activities this week as well.

First up, I went with a few friends to watch Wall-e..... really interesting. At first it was like a slient movie and progressively conversation starts to develop. I quite like the excitement about Wall-e on the space ship..... really nice. This movie is really an environmental awareness show.

After that, I rushed to my student's farewell party. Well, quite bad luck for me, I lost my way.... and I have troubled Jia Xin's mother to drive me there..... I seriously have a good time eating and talking to him and some students as well. Not only that, he also performed for us by playing the piano. He was really a talented person. To be frank, I really going to miss such a good student. Jia Xin, all the best, you are surely be missed by me and your classmates.

Today, I also went out for a movie with another group of friends, we went to watch "Money not enough II"at Vivocity GV. This was the movie that I laugh and also felt sad about. At first, there are lots of lame jokes which are really funny. The most touching one part is right at the end about the mother. The old mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease and her sons still did not take care of her properly. At the end, she was send to the Old Folks Home and felt sad that her son did not want her. She refused and fainted. I felt really sad. It really remind me of my late grandma who suffered from stork and we cannot take care of her. So the moral of the story is to always respect your parents when they are around. After that, we have dinner at Republic Vivo. I really liked this place.... so many things to eat and also some unique foods as well.
Just want to thanks Gary for organising, Nicholas, Jia Xin, Yi Liang, and two more... sorry for forgetting their names..... apologise... for going.... I enjoyed myself.....

Well, tomorrow is another day..... band practice and meeting..... before I go, all the best to Yang Jia for his Frisbee Competition..... do you best.... I am there to support you.

I have to go already...... You all take care..... loving you all!!
