(no subject)
Okay I am going to go thru my "CCA" life:
Primary school was Choir - They lured us with snacks and drinks, once a week to just stand and sing for 2 hours or so and you get a whole goodie bag of nice stuff, every week. I was a librarian for a while because I wanted the librarian badge (ok, when you're that age you're pretty weird - I like to wear alot of badges), to add on to my collection of badges. But I was never interested in the "monitor" or "prefect" roles because I felt that they are simply doing the tasks that teachers are being paid to do. That is free child labor.
Secondary school was first Choir for a year but then I grew sickeningly sick of it. It then became Band because I wanted to get A1 and learn and instrument. TKGSSB back then was THE BAND to be in. Anyway really bled blood and sweated a lot of sweat for it - We achieved the best symphonic band in Singapore for the year 2001. The FIRST girl band ever to do that, Girl Power! Had great seniors and juniors, love them all to bits! The morning runs, the recess practices, the scolding sessions, overseas trips, the endless practice sessions (3 times a week, more when competition/concerts are approachings, on Saturdays will be a full day). I had never worked so hard! The great reunions we had. In short, my secondary school life equates to band life. I was not really sure what was being taught in school or who my other classmates are really life. Would sometimes doze off during class. Band matters and nothing else. I was brainwashed... hehe but I loved every minute of it!
Polytechnic, oh man, I became totally crazy! It was THE period where my self esteem was the highest. I did not care what people think, I just want to do what I want. Sold Tupperware, met long lasting friends, do silly stuff... was actually the Vice President of French Club (how did THAT happened?), I so totally miss the food from NP! Was in BP-NP Mentoring, it was nice to tutor the kids there. Joined weird stuff like falg day, participated in organizing student orientation, leadership camps... it was so rojak and fun. I really enjoyed studying biz. I think I only got a Silver award for CCA tho :( and altho was in Director's list for my graduation year, I missed the merit cert :( c'est la vie... I really miss my crazy friends and my language (Spanish and French) lessons which I took up AFTER school hours.
NUS was suddenly stuck in the Malay Muslim groups. PBM and MS. I did LUMW for PBM, overall I felt it was alright altho I was bitchy (normal la). Then joined the MS exco (only GOD knows why I did that!) and spent alot of time waiting and listening. I was really happy to be out of it because then I could email controversial things in the MS yahoogroups with no guilt - we were supposedly supposed to "behave" during our term and not do silly stuff. But I love doing silly stuff you see. Anyway met capable and reliable people like Banz, Hakim, Fiza and Fatma. Oh, the syura thing was fun but then it gets pretty "I want to kill myself, why did I get myself into this?" sort of mood because Hakim dragged it :( OH and of course IAP - wonderful babes and guys!
After MS was actually OVERWHELMING. I accidentally joined the StompAids competition with a group of superb girls (the SeXtremers!). I truly enjoyed it and feel that I should do something for AIDs patients but have yet to do anything :( Did attend a talk by Marina Mahathir on AIDS, Gender and Religion. Then this DDB Apprentice thing, it was accidental as well. But things are going pretty good, today's the deadline. Met interesting characters and able to "practice" my marketing skills that are so rusty by now, again.
Okay suddenly I am wondering about Fadzrun's "teach Ain Society's youths about AIDS" sort of thing... maybe I should sms or should I wait for him to?
School so far has been alright, have decided to take honours, no matter what type it is but NOT going to do any independent study because it is a waste of time. Some people deliberately choose not to have any CCAs in their University life, I think they are simply boring (unless they have activities OUTSIDE school). You only will learn alot, the wider your social network and interaction is.
Tomorrow, off to Genting/KL trip :) Going to pass up my Marketing Proposal for DDB at 3.30pm SMU and then meet Ehsan up.
Going to discuss the pre-nups with him during the trip, shop alot, watch alot of movies, eat alot... just have crazy fun :) before the results come out.....
I think life is awesome!
Alhamdulilllah.
Thank You GOD :)
