It's just really absurd

Just Absurd

I rarely talk about relationship on this blog and I'm pretty sure this might be the first blog post that concern about relationship.


I know that neither I have the rights to comment about this or whatsoever, nor am I the parents.  In any case, when people get attached with someone else, their friends will be like: "Last long!", "Sweet couple" etc etc etc. 

But in this case, I'm not even giving this person whom we shall call it, A, my blessing, at least for now. 

Before you guys even start to speak ill of me, starting those hates and calling me names, let me tell you my reasons for doing this.  

A was a person whom scolded me because I'm being flirty even during the O level period, which I admit that I did so.  I flirted by telling how much I love this girl in which I don't love.  (Yes, that was pretty way long ago, like a year?)  Anyway, I was kinda angry at A at first in which I even hate A for a small period of time. Of course, thankfully that hatred goes off before my Os ended.

But don't you guys feel so?  If I'm your friend and I'm flirting someone who may or may not be your friend and the most important thing is when I'm in the O level period, will you come forward and give me a hell out of my life and ask me to focus on my Os? 

Thanks to A, I was able to get back on track and study my Os whole minded.  Not to mention that was because of how much I hate A for that time being. 


That was all in the past.


Right now, A is currently attached. And A is still in the O level period.  Like I said at the start of this post, neither I have the rights to comment nor am I the parents of A, but I still have to spell out how I feel about this current situation.  

Getting attached at this point in time, it's totally just wrong and absurd. 
I know some major contents papers are over and maybe students will be a bit more relaxed, probably by going out with their friends for a few days and get back to study for the last few papers. 

But is there really such a need to have a partner at this crucial time?

MediaCorp Subaru Challenge - The Asian Faceoff

"The 12th MediaCorp Subaru Challenge - The Asian Faceoff kicked off last Saturday at 1pm with 400 participants battling each other to win a Subaru Forester worth S$85,000!"

Well, it's the 3rd day of challenge today! And the number of participants who are still enduring dropped from 400 to about 100 only! And it seems like the participants from the Philippines are still hanging on.  

I'm not here to make any racists remarks but don't you guys realise that every Sunday, there will always be a flock of Filipinos women hanging out at town? Especially at Lucky Plaza.  

So this event was held at Ngee Ann City, right opposite lucky plaza. I'm quite amazed that these Filipinos women came down to support their friends/country! 

Right before I end my shift yesterday, the amount of participants from the Philippines remain at 10! Which is still at full strength ! 

I'm quite proud of them in some aspects from this competition.  

Anyway, I was one of the Event Marshall for this event.  My jobscope was to ensure that contestants don't flout the rules as well as to assist the crews in some administrative work.  I can really say... This is the most boring job ever. 

But I'm pretty thankful that I'm able to know more TemasekPoly students from there, since most of marshalls are from tp!

Back to the prize. Subaru Forester is a really wonderful car.  But the prize isn't that wonderful. It's worth S$85,000 which obviously exclude Road Tax and the COE.  

So the surprising thing is..
Although this Subaru Forester worth S$85,000

But this paper cost much more than the car itself...


In other words, Singapore is becoming the next Japan. 


Update #1, 10:36pm 29 October: 
Winner of MediaCorp Subaru Challenge - The Asian Faceoff 2013 is Yusman Wright (Car 4) from Singapore after enduring a total of 75 hours and 1 minute.  1st Runner up is Sunawr Ali. 

Omg, I'm so proud of this guy. This guy is from Car 4 and I was one of the marshall for Car 4 during the first day. I can't believe that even though I walked around the car for god knows how many countless times, Lady Luck was actually with him somehow. 

Congratulations to Yusman Wright!

Back to school!

The holidays has ended (damn). 
It's back to school again.

Having monday blues like god knows how long has that been without, and imagine having a super headache on a monday, i guess you will be like dying or sleeping in the lecture.

Most of my lecture will be in LT 19, except for one or two in LT23.
I hate, especially, LT19. It's damn warm honestly speaking.
I'm like sitting right at the back where the aircon is not blowing at!
Worst of all, my class will be sitting there permanently.
Suck to be in this kind of situation.

Anyway, I'm trying to get back to the feeling of having school as soon as possible man.
To those who are having holidays, enjoy as much as you can alright.

So here's a #yum for you guys.


Till the next post!

End of another journey.

Everyone will always have a journey, in the form of leadership, life or even a relationship. 
But all of us must be reminded that a journey have an end. It's just whether if it's a good end or a bad end. Justify it yourself.

Credits to whoever took this photo

Yes, if you thought of why I posted this photo, that's right. You may have gotten the right answer.
I'm officially withdrawn from the DPAIG Main Committee AY 13/14.

There were many reasons why I chose to leave at this time, especially after 6-7 months with them, which I may have probably adapted to the working styles of the other maincomm members.

The following reasons are facts:
  1. I can't really work well with some of them.
  2. I have a vision of what I want in the future, and being in the maincomm doesn't really help.
  3. Commitment is a big problem.
  4. I can't stand meetings that are more than 3 hours.
  5. I don't want to spend my poly life like how I did in Secondary School.
  6. There's no leadership points since it's not an official CCA.
  7. If you're talking about loyalty, I don't see reasons why I need to stay in the main committee, besides looking forward to mingle around with new batch next year, in which I can still participate as a subcommittee.
  8. I don't wish to be a Media Head anymore, I'm tired of being it.

You could think that I have given up in this journey. But to me, I did not give up.
I merely leave a committee that does not prove its worth. 
I'm not trying to pinpoint individual, but the whole committee when individuals come as one.

In any case, I have already withdrawn from the committee, talking about this won't change anything either. 

Although there were some unhappiness that were bottled up in my mind, I still wish to thank the main committee members for giving me such a wonderful memories during the 1st and 2nd chalet in Aloha Changi and NSRCC respectively. 

Thank you, Huiping & Dickson who never fails to listen to my complaints and also tried to make things better.
Thank you, Carissa and Nigel who were in charge of the CCN day's Haunted House.
Thank you, Melissa who always thought about the welfare of everyone.
And for WenTing and Jeddric, thanks for being proficient in the aspect of logistics. 

No further complaints,  Case Closed.

The problem is You.

YOU

Can you imagine how hurt you will be when people confronted you and told you that the problem is you. 

No matter how much that person said it wasn't directly and sorry before saying that, don't you guys feel pretty hurt. 

It was a heck. I hate this, this is the thing that i hate the most.
What makes you think that the other party isn't at fault and he/she is also another problem.
Don't you ever judge me, when you don't really know how I feel.

I'm feeling that you guys are so annoyed and bothersome.
Why such a big fuss? It's just a small issue and simple decision.

To the rest of you out there, do you guys feel annoyed when people text you when you're about to sleep and the time is like 1am-2am? Especially those questions asked or issues concerned are such a fucking small and simple stuffs?

I just don't get it, really. 

With much hatred,
Desmond

Brunch with Bestie

Just another week till school reopen. The usual thing, feeling alone during the holiday, hoping for school to reopen. But when you know it, it's barely a week till school reopen. Damn.
That's why, enjoy while you still can.

And I missed gym for today. Argh. 

Let me introduce you to my Bestie (of the year), Junita.


She's one of my DPA-mates. The ones whom I met way before poly starts in April.
I'm glad to meet her and we managed to click so well! 
We had brunch @ MOF today, followed by a game of bowling which I lost and had to treat her to the Macha Green Tea McFlurry. 

Thanks to her, I was able to have a great day! 

Till then,
Desmond

DPA Retreat feat. Performers

Gosh, it's a hectic week.
And I'm pretty glad that the event day has finally arrived. It took almost forever.
Spent about two to three months preparing for the DPA Retreat (Night Performance) and I'm feeling better and relieved since the burden were unloaded.

So here's a video of Madeline singing during the Night Performance!


And oh yeah, it's Tammy Tio (好久不见) birthday today!


Happy Birthday, Tammy! Wishing you that you had a blast with your awesome friends and the Sicksons. Growing older doesn't mean old, but a year mature! Who knows, a few years down the road, I'll be attending your wedding ceremony. hahah.


And yes, I would like to take this opportunity through this post to thank those who were present for the DPA retreat and night performance. Also not forgetting, my Main Committee members. 

Senior MainComms (SMCs) - Ariena, Dickson, HuiRen and JJ
Junior MainComms (JMCs) - Carissa, HuiPing, Nigel, Jeddric, Melissa and WenTing

Without you guys, this event won't go on. Although there were certain hiccups, I'm quite glad that we managed this event as the JMCs.

With greatest love,
Desmond

Town x MBS x 69



Anyway, here's my update for today. 

Met up with 2 of my 69's mens and we practically walked the whole stretch of Orchard Road.
Seems like both of them are pretty well.

Pardon my really low quality photo and my unglamorous.

It was sort of "welcome back@town" because my brother, Jonas (the one with the red cap), just returned back from China.  He was there for exactly a month. I mean, i can't even stay there for a month. Imagine a month worth of dirty clothes. Hahaha, probably not, since I'm got to be independent.
Who knows I'll wear a set of clothes for more than 3 days?!

Since it was such a great chance to get together, we caught up with each other while having Starbucks @ION Orchard.

When asked about our plans for the next semester break, my reply was that i definitely need to go overseas.
And there were a list of countries and cities we thought of going:

1. Thailand, Bangkok
2. Indonesia, Bali
3. Korea, Seoul & Busan
4. HongKong
5. Australia, Gold Coast

Got to find a part time job this coming semester!

Oh, did i mention that i met these 4 DPA friends of mine?
They're awesome.

Great to meet you guys, coincidentally! 
BingQiang, Tessa, Junita and Ellis

And thanks for the staff discount, Junita!

Till then x

With greatest love,
Desmond

Back to Alma Mater!



Basically, I went back to my Alma Mater, Greendale Secondary School, for this year's Graduation Day. 2013 is really way too fast. I thought that I just graduated from Greendale like yesterday.

I watched those juniors of mine growing up from Secondary 1 until today at the level of Secondary 4. 
I could roughly understand how they feel currently. It was a sign of missing those moments. But we have to keep living and eventually these moments will only become memories.

Anyway, here are some photos i took today!


It was really a great graduation day although there were a lot of limitations faced by the organising committee. Thanks to the organising committee for such a wonderful graduation day for the Class of 2013!

And lastly, wishing the Class of 2013 all the best for their N's and O's !



Signing off,
Desmond
