Few Late Night Thoughts

It is 0343 and madness... I am still bloody awake with my bloodshot eyes. I have a packed schedule today, yet not in the mood of sleeping (yeap! I need the mood to sleep). Got a few (read: a lot) things on my head which I must let go somehow...

1. WTF happening with MF?!?! Like, why am I now the minesweeper of MF? PINUS JCO? Mixer spoilt? Feedback? Phew... Can I just disappear? Or maybe exchange to the other part of the world? Damn headache..

2. That nagging pain... I need a surgery ASAP. But I have no idea whether surgery can recover all the injuries I received so far. Here's the checklist: right shoulder, right wrist, lower back, upper back...

3. Night of 17 Agst - Dawn of 18 Agst. Two freshies broke up. Isn't this the proof of Kristiono Postulation #1? The same night was the birth of Kristiono Postulation #2, which states that 'The afore-mentioned breakup should be within an academic year'

4. FT Island's 'I Hope' is cool, especially the intro.

5. I want to pursue the art of entertainer. But isn't it a bit late? I like to make people laugh; does this make me a natural comedian?

6. I am pretty fed up with PINUS, luckily still managed to pull a little laughs here and there. Probably that would be my last time doing something to PINUS for free. I AM FREAKING NOT PERFORMING IF PPIS/PINTU/WHATSHIT IS AROUND. And no thanks, telling me that they are coming an hour before the performance doesnt help at all.

7. Girl girl girl. Okay, so I am doing an offshore specialization. Would it further lower my chance to get a wife? Dont really think so, but hey... I hope I can get attached before I graduate.

8. That predayor has gone from PGP. I gave him a year to prove that he is good. Well his crowd controlling skill sucked and I don't think he has the intention to fix it. You only earn half of my respect dude. You are task oriented, I am people oriented... We're fundamentally different...

9. GG... Im tired now. Got to sleep...

10. That girl might be 15/15. But can I settle 14.5/15 first? Dad, are you reading my blog? I'm kind of experiencing same thing as you when you were young! Forget probable 15/15 (she's 14/15 after all), I am going for 14.5/15.

Freshman-kind and Senior-ship

I feel that I need to say a thing or two regarding this issue.

*work in progress*

O Week 2009 - Back To School

Different people have different opinions, but for me, this year Oweek is quite chui (Singlish for sloppy). Oh well, maybe it is at the committees disadvantage that the first and second days of the period were FIC and Flag Day respectively. Still, the organization of the programmes was not good enough. Below listed why I dont like this year Oweek.

1. Food
Majority of the camp participants voiced their discontentment towards the catering selection. The food was horrible. You can get a plate of rice and a small piece of meat for lunch, which did not justify the $40 paid by the freshies to attend the event. The comms did try to address this issue by changing caterer halfway through the event, yet the damage has been done.

2. Programme
Too little programmes, too much slacking time. I am totally disappointed at the Engin Race thingy. It is really dumb in my honest opinion, to send all the camp participant to take '200 pictures and 9 videos' at a given point within 3 hours. Beach games and war games were not too fantastic either. They cut it short for MASS DANCE session. Sounds like a good idea? Not for me. I dont go to orientation events to learn mass dances... I can elaborate further on the low side of the programmes, but lets move on to the next point.

3. My personal take
I came to the camp with the slacking mindset. Well, after 3 years of doing all these stuff, I think it is my time to rest my bad back. You know, I want to sit at the corner, taking my time to take pictures n stuff. It is just my time to retire. This mindset in fact backstabbed me. I forced myself not to enjoy the camp to the fullest due to this.

4. My OG
None of the seniors in my OG is experienced enough to handle huge group. I saw it on day 1 (FIC day). They did not teach cheers or play decent ice breaking games. That was alarming. As a result, the morale of the OG was pretty low. Indeed we improved and well, definitely not the worst group around, but I feel that it could be better. But dont get me wrong here. My OGL and councillors, despite their inexperience, did a great job.

Having complained all the way, I have to mention that despite all the lousiness, the Finale Night was pretty great. The JC-uniform themed party was great, the program was good. I enjoyed the Finale Night. It seems that the comms put in a lot of works into the finale. Well, if they gave the same amount of attention to other programmes, my opinion of Engin Oweek 2009 might have changed. But that is IF...

PDA

You know, the arrival of the new batch of freshies bring their facebook and msn to my attention. Well... A lot of them (compared to previous years) are attached. And being a good (read: kaypoh) senior, I follow their status on facebook. Then that bring me to my point here... It is kind of rubbing salt to the wound that PDA (Public Display of Affection) is everywhere. Here are some examples:

"ok, aku tunggu dear"
"i always love u, my sweet girl"
"i'm gonna be your husband"
"hopefully we can be much more in love"
"syg next year aku main ksana ya"
"kangen bgt nih sm km"

And so on... Some of these stuff are well.. better unwritten here due to their intimate nature. Right... Now the question (of mine and maybe most facebooking singles) is... Why the heck would there be PDA? I mean, of course you need communication, but is it necessary to announce to the whole world?

I can only think of a reason, actually. It is the human nature of the need of attention. There is this certain level of attention that need to be fulfilled in a person as a social being. Of course, the amount is different from a person to another... Proof of this? Well, I thought of babies crying for food but that might not be a good example. Tell me if you agree or disagree with me. Anyways, this crave (if there is such word) of attention results in people doing different thing. Some might resort in acting know-it-all, some others might take the other direction, by acting blur. Either ways, they got their level of required attention.

(I myself have to admit that sometimes I seek for attention)

Now, relating to that PDA. I guess it is just the way the couple seek attention from each other. You might say that they could do it in private, but it can be argued that doing this kind of thing in public is more effective. Simply put it, by adding the element of bravery into love, the effect can be doubled.

After thinking about this, well... I could tolerate those PDA-ing couple better. Still pretty painful (FINE!! I AM SINGLE, SO WHAT?!) but realizing that it might be the language of love of some couples, I cant help it but to accept such behaviour. After all, I might know the real answer to this issue when (read: if) I got attached.

ENGIN OWEEK HERE I COME

Update - WYSINWYG

What You See Is Not What You Get

- Sentosa Outing -> So, did I say 'quite a huge scale'? Correction. It was in a gargantuan scale. You know, I expected at most 30 ppl only. However, today's attendance was about 70. Come on!!!! It is like half the size of Engin Camp!!! And this outing was planned only by 2 fella (which is like 1/6 of the size of an Engin Camp comm?). Things were pretty messy n out of schedule, but some of the freshies feedback were heartwarming.

- Engin Oweek -> Two of my Kribow freshies (Hans and Dulfinch) are in my OG. So, now die die I have to go to Oweek. But let's tone down yeah? Although my other freshie (GPI) mentioned something about getting high for Oweek, I think I should not pump too much energy into Oweek. I'm getting real old here...

Time to sleep... Going to church in 5 hrs.
