If you want to improve, be open to feedback.

人不能在原地踏步，要勇往直前，不要畏惧。

That’s why I love my friends

It’s superrr awkward for me to be hit by the realization that my best friend for over 10 years is from that church. But I think religion is a really strong topic & i will rather keep it off my friendship with her. I dun think u need to be best friend with somebody bcos of her religion.

And…..she proves me right. :) :) :)

the way u r

despite all our differences, you embraced me <3

Oh Father

Bert just showed me last night and was bitching to me how ignorant and childish this pastor Rony Tan is.

& this morning, I saw it on TODAY cover page! Pastor apologized after internal security department called him up. He will tell his members to respect other beliefs and build a harmonious Singapore. (& I am sure they will listen to you after all that scornful demeaning remarks)

This is apparently not the 1st time he has attracted such attention. 2 years ago, he posted a 5 minute music video which sparked a debate in cyberspace on the role of govt.

I think he should migrate to US. So he can enjoy his right to free speech as much as he likes and, be shot after that. Amen.

My question is, WHY IS HE STILL A SENIOR PASTOR??

internship

Omg, I loooooove my boss (to be)!

Coming from CJC, he hated mandarin but I am really AMAZED how he speaks it so perfectly and fluently now.

The things he said will definitely stick with me.

1. When I asked him for his expectations of me when I go over for internship, he said ‘I’d rather you go there like a piece of blank paper. I don’t want to fixate any expectations upon you. Just go with an open mind’.

2. Opportunities are everywhere down the street, the more important thing is ‘what are you willing to sacrifice and let go from your hands to gain that extra piece of experience?’

3. He really stressed upon an ideology of ‘ASK’.

A -attitude comes before anything else. S -skills: with the right attitude, you can then sharpen your skills. K -knowledge: continuous practice and experience of your skills can then translate into knowledge.

& this is a recurring cycle in which the knowledge can then be applied elsewhere.

4. The main problem with their team is when given an assignment, they just jumped straight into doing it. We should always question the reasons behind practices and clauses.

//Update: 5. Always start from looking at the biz model & what makes them successful.

PLUS, the team there is really young and my bosses (a couple) are really friendly and so willing to share!!

After a 2 hours interview, I will be really heartbroken if I don’t get this opportunity to LEARN. Like how the boss puts it, I’m getting paid to learn for this job. Isn’t it great?

*very very very super tired* Although I only have 4 mods and 2 school days this sem, I am not any freer than I’ve thought. But at least, I learnt to cover it up.

These fatigue means nothing if I am working towards my dream :)

Btw, self-reminder: Read up on China’s labour laws.

siannn

I really don’t have the motivation to do well this semester.

My life is rushing past me and I’m drowning from all the paperwork.

Incomplete readings, lackluster attitude and no sense of belonging to my school anymore.

today’s ethics midterm was bad. Couldn’t write finish what I have in mind.

I will take CNY break to clear up all the shit ok. Can do it one :)

the music takes me away…

Empire state of mind is such a nice song <3

I’m going to make it by any means

I got a pocketful of dreams

Baby, I’m from…

New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of

There’s nothing you can’t do

Now you’re in New York

These streets will make you feel brand new

Big lights will inspire you

Hear it for New York, New York, New York

that’s how real i get

I like this definition, ‘A real friend is a person who compliments ur personality, challenges ur choices & accepts u regardless of the mistakes u make in life‘.

I’m quite annoyed by the superficiality our school’s culture promotes and who better than the president can be an epitome of that, right?

I think there are certain stuffs in life that can’t be taught. For instance, you can’t teach people why they should be genuine towards others because values and beliefs are self-created and sustained. Granted that external influences from social circles can play a huge role, these effects are really limited to people who are 1. stubborn 2. keep their minds closed.

I just don’t buy in to how leadership can be built upon falsehood and pretense. What’s wrong with admitting that you are just as imperfect as everyone else? How do you serve with a fake smile? Nonetheless, people usually just seek for the results and rarely question the ulterior motives behind certain behaviors.

In fact, I’m starting to think about ethical leadership and one of the reflection questions which I came across is,

“Will you be the same person at work? At home? In the community?”

I don’t even have to think about how a person presents different selves to different social groups. If a person shows a different image to just two different friends, I wonder how sly and complex that person’s character will be.

Ok! Enuf’ said.
