Just something for you guys...this is a good chinese song to listen to...
罗美玲 : 爱一直闪亮
我一个人的沙发上 还有你拥抱的力量起身才看见孤独的形状
在空气里曝光明明是咖啡不加糖 怎么喝还是懒洋洋
你不在的天气装了开关 碰到天就黑暗
我以为爱一直闪亮 现在剩一个人坚强想念在手中
张开变翅膀我还懂不懂飞翔(忘记了我懂飞翔)
我看见爱一直在闪亮想逃的心改变了方向
只因这城市情歌太悲伤
才让一碗热汤 红了眼框
电视里爱情播不完
怎么转都能离开现场
如果我承认你让我很难忘
结局能不能换

Election Fever...Exams...and A 'Statement'
The elections is coming up, and it is really getting up to speed...so that is what will focus our attention in the coming weeks...
I do hope that I can something out of this though. Just yesterday, I got to go to SPH and settle some stuff in which hopefully I can make my views known through an article...but whether that can happen is up to them to decide how can I be used and be helpful to their cause. Watch this space if there are any developments, for I myself remain hopeful that I can get to write my views soon enough.
Exams now...and I do hope that this is my best chance at kicking up my overall grade, and being mindful of the events that have occured over the past few days, it is therefore a hell of a physical and emotional ride. Nonetheless, I will be going all out. The only complaint: the dates are unevely distributed. After all, I start on the first day, end on the 4th last day, and have 3 other papers smashed side by side.
Oh well, that's the problem of university adminstration.
Finally: A 'Statement': All the comments mentioned henceforth and in all posts are solely my own opinions and feelings so far. Not intended and aimed at anyone for any reasons.
If you guys have been offended by my comments directly or indirectly, I do sincerely apologise.

A big chance missed...but that's life
Just want to comment here on a big opportunity that I had, one that I missed...and the moral of the story behind it all.
The chance that I had, and took it gleefully, was the chance to talk to a few prominent political personalities during an election seminar last week. Although I didn't get featured on TV (but that was not my wish anyway), the fact that I got the chance to talk to a well respected politician well known politician (sorry for the oxymoronicness...I don't sound quite coherent today) was something that I will never forget. After all, what I learnt after the exchange of comments is that he does talk the talk, and walk the walk when he says:
' Do not short change myself, and take the interests of the residents at heart.'
It made me think...isn't that what CCAs are meant to be? For the larger good isn't it?
One does not need to be famous to do good for the people. One does not need to have impressive academic results to serve the people.
All he needs is a sincere and willing heart ready to devote all his time and energies for the wishes of the masses. There is an Chinese saying that the propsperity of a country depends on every single person, right down to the rickshaw puller.
I am the rickshaw puller, and I can still make my contribution to society. Hope whoever reads this can understand our role for the society.
Books tell you some things, but life experiences must be felt by yourselves. No amount of hearing of advice will help.
Ok, now back to the chance that I missed.
I will not want to make a name for myself, but just that I got a note from Thomas that there was a chance that I could talk to one of Asia's most respected leading politicians in a televised interview. So I thought why not, since I had this golden chance, might as well go for it?
Oh well, I did...went for the screen test, then had to get approval from a very high political authority...only to get news two hours ago that I did not get shortlisted to face the man himself.
Needless to ask, I was very disappointed. Very.
I had my chance, and I thought I did ask some thought provoking questions. But the reasons behind my rejection will never be known. It is fine by me, for it just taught me a very harsh lesson.
Life is definitely never a bed of roses. But I can say that I gave it my best shot nonetheless.
I am not sure whether a friend of mine did get in...But I think she did. In any case though, I will be watching it on TV next Monday at 7pm...that is if I can be at home. But my priority is the exams anyway, and I definitely need to get a good result this semester. So if this rejection means a good result for me this semester, why not?
After all, I think I have achieved quite a lot of firsts this semester...well, you cannot have everything in life anyway. There are a few other personal 'firsts' I want to achieve, but it will take time I suppose.
Ok, back to finishing my 2 essays, and an article which I hope will put myself in good light in the future.
