Reminiscence

Have had spent half a day doing my graduation award filming in the morning before proceeding to work for the next half of the day. Was dead tired but the experience was absolutely fun! Now I finally understand why actors/ actresses must spend so many days just to film one scene, cos I myself have had so many NGs caused partly because I tongue-tied while reading my scripts but mainly due to the surrounding!

There will be NGs whenever a car drove past, loading and unloading of pellets from lorries or even when someone walk past and the area was next to a carpark, so imagine how many NGs there will be? Lol. I remembered this scene while I was reviewing one of my NG which really makes me Laugh Out Loud. I had already completed reading a long script of mine then suddenly there was this indian worker who carried something like decorative leaves walking past me from the back? Then my eyes went rolling and have a "Woo.. who's that behind me" reaction. Wah he came in really at the wrong timing lor, but looking at my own reaction is damn funny!

After which, I followed Mr Tan L.K around the different spots in NP to take scenery shots which according to him is for publication purposes? But having shared so much about the filming experiences, wonder what's going on?

After sharing all the testimonies of how God had gave me wisdom in my studies during cell group meetings, I've finally emerged as a Gold Medalist in my cohord which means I top my cohord with the overall results + CCA points for the whole 3 years in Poly.

While filling up my graduation interview form for the school, I chanced upon this question:
Are there any interesting or unusual aspects that you would like to share with us? (eg. despite the odds, you made it, you ran a business while studying to support your family, you have a unique hobby that became your inspiration, etc.)

And my reply was:
Nothing unusual in particular, but I do admit that life can be very struggling and tiring at times when I had to juggle between many activities every single day alongside with my studies. Classmates who know me witness the busyness in my life.

But I usually start off my day with quiet time spend with God, lifting my tiredness and worries to Him and trusting my life in Him. Life may be full of struggles and tiredness but somehow or rather I still manage to make it.
----------------------------------------------
With this, looking back at my life for the past 3 years, being involved as a committe member for a campus-concert CCA, a President for my division society, a secretary for a Singapore Instuition branch and juggling alongside with teaching Tkd classes after school, handling a relationship commitment and took part in POS for the Emerge Conference 2006, I remembered those times where I have to run around the school to attend meetings after meetings then cab down to CC to teach classes, reaching home late at night, hold event discussion over msn till the wee hours, not having time to do my tutorials and practical works. I think its simply amazing that I'm still able to make it up there.
I want to make it clear over here that this entry is not to boast my results or whatsoever, but instead to testify the greatness and goodness of God. Classmates always commented me as the busiest man in the world that they know of and seriously wonder how can I do it? Even my director was shocked and curious abt my capability of handling so many events while keeping my studies up there while interviewing me. I won't deny that life is really full of struggles.
These are only things that they see as a surfaced. But there are times where I broke down in front of my lecturers and ex-President from the stress level that I am facing. Life is really tiring during my poly days with abt 4 hrs of slp daily due to all these commitments. But it is not how tired and stress I am. Its about how amazingly refresh I can be everyday when I start off my day with quiet time spent with God even during my exam period!
Looking back at all these, even I am thinking woah, how did I managed to do that? It is something that one will not be able to go on for long with its physical body. What's more if I'm able to survive it for 3 yrs? For this is not the works of man alone but of God! God is so good that He takes away all my physical tiredness, worries and exchanged it with strength and joy to live thru each day. Isn't He simply wonderful? Amen?
Ransacking through Mr Tan L.K's computer for photos taken since year 1 as I will need to provide 10 photos to describe my life in NP, I managed to find many photographs of interesting memories. Thus I'm going to compile it into a video and wanna share it with u guys as I reminiscent through the good old times.
