two is better than one

2009-10-31T15:50:00.002+08:00

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away

So maybe it's true
That i can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one

Haeundae The Deadly Tsunami

2009-10-19T02:10:00.005+08:00

one particular scene in the movie struck me, lifeguard giving up his life to save another life.
as a lifeguard myself, would i make this decision after accepting the responsibility process? i told her yes but am i so noble..saving one's life and being able to live forever in the hearts of someone you love.

remember, 3 o'clock?

a korean common phrase of saying (3 o'clock): when its not early nor late to accomplish anything.

A.L.P.s Discovery Ropes Course

2009-06-21T17:13:00.002+08:00

[carrot & apple]

when: 2days of ropes course (19/6 - 20/6)

where: quebec leisure, costa sands resort (pasir ris)

why: to be trained as a belayer and working in heights

from wearing of harness, ladder set-up to climbing and completing the various high elements was quite an adventure.

Day1: 12 sp campers trainer turned up for the course. Was late by 15mins and was told to write a apology letter. Feeling guility and bad as Sarah was late because of me. no apology letter = no cert = no pay in upcoming camp = we will QUIT. Both of us were really piss with the treatment given, at least for me. I admit that i lack passion in this industry and what i wanted in the first place was just for the experience and fun. In the end both of us decided to be more mature and do everything sui sui one last time for this company, one last camp and end our careers in this industry in a high.

Day2: Was feeling much better, due to the positive attitute in us, all the elements was completed in a breeze. Had a mini ropes test, but i was on form so no worries. But since when, outdoor tests will be marked failure, its the process that counts not the final results. Same as all the elements and activities, success is not when u completed the climb challenges, but rather the process when you work with your team mates and discovering new things about yourself.

At the end of the course, i feel like suppeerrman. When i see high trees, i got the urge to climb them. As chief trainer Jenna said: this course helped us to work together as a team and knowing each other's strength and weakness. This is very important as we will all be working for the upcoming Northland Camp.

On another note, at the costa sands resort, i saw many people coming for holidays and celebrations. The bbq smelled so nIcceeee can. Super envy. I promise myself to open a chalet there for the next holiday. Now whenever i pass-by costa sands resort, i can look proudly at the rope element challenges and say to myself, i once DID IT, nothing is impossible only if you keep trying.

Weimeng walked away feeling a much confident person.

Next up, 1 week of In Camp Training (reservist) at my old home, Seletar Camp. Hope to find back some sweet memorises there, my army buddies wont be there with me this time but i still have other good friends ;)

Earning petty cash yet again. Working for Lexmark printer as a promoter..it aint a brand that can sell with just sweet talks, i guess some white lie is needed in the process. Since when promoters are upright and ethical anyway.

Meanwhile enjoying life as much as i can. I love the way i am right now, will have a packed schedule soon again..trainings, reservist and camp!

Bring it on grrrr...

dont expect an essay out of me.

Petty cash here i come, ready or not. expo popular fair.

To all my mates that did not do well in the exams, please cheer up!

I had a similar experience during poly. I failed 1 freaking module and could not squeeze into the timetable. End up having to retain half a year, that kinda explains why a old man like me is in this bbmkg batch. Feeling of despair, lost of hopes and loneliness became my friends. BUT it sure wake up my life.

I can see that non of you are giving up, positive attitute is the way of life.

Exactly 1month left of Holidays, now play hard and work hard!

Star 1 Kayaking

[bananas & bananas]

After 2 days of sunburns, crazy paddling and seasick we (the 7 sp camper crew) finished the 1 star kayak syllabus.

Learn how to paddle in the correct fashion, stop the kayak, capsize and rescue drills. Looking forward to Star 2 kayaking and expeditions. Guess i need to loose some slack to fit into the dancer (:

One tip for kayaking: always get enough rest and dont club the night before, if not you will get seasick!

end of camp

2009-05-28T16:30:00.002+08:00

[bananas & apples]

Finally camp is over. After 2days of Train the Trainers (T3) camp and 2days + 1night Nanhua Primary 4 camp totally shagged the hell out of me. Can you imagine, you are so tired that you have to crawl onto your bed and sleeping 10 seconds after.

Nanhua Primary 4 non residential camp at Sentosa.

Leading a group of 14 kids, who are full of tricks, energy and complains can be nightmare. Touching the sand can make them so high. They say kids nowsaday are clever, i will have to put both my hands up for this one. The only way to overcome these kids, is to manipulate their needs and wants. The camp offers activities like, teambuilding activities, the Sentosa race, Raft construction and Sand art making.

After this camp, as edward said: we unleash the rar-rar side of us..

Let the parties begin!

SP Campers

2009-05-25T01:16:00.006+08:00

[apples & jackfruit]

Obtained level one trainer for SP Campers. Trust me, it aint easy for an introvert like me.

How did i get there? Introduction by Yasin.

Why am i there? A part time job and to have fun.

What did i get out of it? Alot.

When i start thinking, why am i here. It really contradicts my own actions and words. A right mindset would be to be hunger for knowledge with a positive attitute.

Being a trainer in a camp is definitely not a easy task to do, you are looked up as an idol to the kids and campers, a leader to share your experiences and knowledge. A selfish leader is one who lead but dont share. By sharing you are actually upgrading your leadership skills.

Programs for the 'train the trainers' SP Campers was great. Starting with team building activities, raft making, high level obstacles, night confidence course and many more..

Many thoughts just ran through my mind during the camp, prondering..keeping quiet and observing others' actions and words. I plan to change how the way i am right now. And if you do not plan, you plan to fail. However having faith in yourself is the strongest plan of all.

Learnt many valuable lessons in life, some are merely reminders that we all know in our hearts.

Looking forward to how things will change in future, not only to be a stronger individual but also to share my experiences with others.

upcoming camp:
25-27 May 2009: Nanhua Pri Sch Camp Venue: Sentosa

[apples & guava]

I had a date with mr Edward Cullen today.

Went town to return his t-shirt to recruit express and to buy my arena swimming trunks which cost a freaking $50. Then we met Siying for lunch! After lunch we went for 1hr of lan gaming, its more fun to play dota and l4d in the lan shop as compared to playing at home. Perhaps is the company and the ambience! More lan gaming next time!

Work was called off last min, so suddenly had lots of free time! Cruised around town, shop to shop but didnt buy anything. Went for movie - night in the museum II, it was really so-so 3/5! (no offence mj, litian, yj, kenneth)

Dine at Meridien Hotel foodcourt before heading home...end of date!

Going for SP Campers on Sat and Sun, hope it is fun!

Choices

2009-05-20T14:38:00.000+08:00

[Apples & Cinnamon]

There may be three or four big choices, that shape someone's whole life.

And you need to be the one that makes them, not anyone else.

Just live the life you want to live.

But the only thing that really matters, is that you're happy.

Are You happy?

生日快乐我对自己说

[apples & bananas]

woohoo i am already a 2 cycles of Zodiac year old man! Nearer and nearer to the next phrase of life - the serious working life. BUT this year definitely has the longest birthday celebration, thanks to all my uni mates for making it possible.

One big item in my dream list is fulfilled, after the completion of the BM tests. It has always been my dream to be a lifeguard, thanks to SIM Lifesaving. Joined the team for 9months and counting, attained Lifesaving 1 2 3 and Bronze Medallion...enjoyed the moments of fun, notsofun, tough and shagged out at clementi pool. Before i knew it, my passion for lifesaving has grown, more awards and competition to achieve!

Lastly, thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! May my simple wish come true (:

Live with passion in your heart and always believe in your dreams.

Ciaos,
Happi Monkiez

Young & Dangerous

2009-04-08T13:12:00.000+08:00

Feeling nostalgic, listenin' to oldies to subdue my craving.

Just watched the whole series of Young and Dangerous movie, Episode one to six plus four side-stories.

I bet Hongkong's 古惑仔 increased because of this movie.
