So I have spent two meaningful weeks of my life in Yunnan, China. Thinking back, I really miss the village there. I miss the people, the food, scenery and of course the dog there which always know when our meal time. I miss it's sad eyes. I miss the trekking of the mountain. I miss the brushing of teeth in the morning with freezing cold water. I miss the 'Golden road' which is full of dungs. XD I miss slow and simple life there. I miss the way that we washed our hair. I miss the fun we had in the village. I'm quite ashame of myself when I see how studious the students over there at the village. Maybe that I did not suffer enough to see that study is important.
I miss the bumpy ride from village to the city. I miss the 5 hour sleeping ride. I miss the Narrowest path in Stone Forest.. maybe that shows that I'm not that fat. XD I miss the 80 cent Sing Ramen there. I miss the friends I met during the trip.
Life is full of memories and there's always an end to all good things and gatherings and what we kept in our hearts is the fun and memories. I missed the YEP trip as I watched the slide show.
Through the trip, I have met many new friends and friends became closer friends. I have seen many type of people during the trip. I have learnt many things over there. I learnt to be initiative and be adaptable, to always look on the bright side and to be flexible when it comes to solving problems.
This Yunnan YEP will leave a lasting impression in my life and it makes me realize how fortunate we are back in Singapore. Their willingness to learn has knock some sense into me. Alright.. Enough talking. here's some of the photos I like. For lots more photos.. go my friendster to see =)-->

It has been really boring these few days.. I was really busy recently because of the preparation for yunnan yep trip and heroes and Cabal<--- -_-" ... Basically, it's really lots of stuff to prepare. 4 more days to take off, and I haven pack my bag.. =/
Tml I have to go back to school to learn about the procedures as a Quartermaster in CO. It gotta be an eventful year for me. I guess.. I will need to move on. Hahaha! Hiro's my favourite character in Heroes. Well.. Maybe I see myself in him or admired his teleportation power.
Haiz, I injured my shoulder muscles again.. I dunno how, maybe I overexerted when I was in gym.. I went to the botanic garden with my Aunt today. The garden was beautiful after the light rain. It was a performance by NAFA symphonic wind ensemble. It was nice music with green environment and light blue skies. Nice right? and oh oh... I see two swan! damn.. I wanna go close to it. They were on the opposite of the pond.. Well.. nevermind..
I'm missing my home now.. I dunno what it will be like over there..
Packing my bag now.. wow..the luggauge is damn packed.. and I tried the lip gloss. OMG it's mint flavoured and I don't like the greasy feeling on my lips.
I finally done the packing for my bag.. hurray! It's a tough feat acutally.. with the quarrel with my grandma while I pack. I just dun care about her and just pack what I need. haha.. time to sleep!

Today's the selection of the post by the ex-commitee today.. Well.. It's kind of messy.. in my opinion, when we discuss among ourselves. I'm kind of worried about it. But nonetheless.. We all are people of abilities and we can be trained. haha That's what I learn from Minds. We can learn new things and stuff =D but just that I'm worried I can't cope with all the stuff. I promised myself to work hard in year 2. 16 more hours to co practice and I still dunno what post I should apply for. I guess I will just let the ex-main Comm decides. No matter what.. I can do anything. Just like jian kai's T-shirt says : Ready for Anything lol

Today was 37th Annual general meeting for npco. I was well.. happy to get into main commitee. Who isn't? It will be a new experience for me. Initially I thought VP would be a good position which I really wanted. A lot of things came to my mind. What does a good leader means? I was reading through an article and it makes me realize something.
The Image of Leadership - John Schoolland
A leader's a man who commands much respect, But due to the natures of all, He's only as good as the image he casts In the mirror that hangs on the wall. He usually sees what he wants, and no more, He's afraid to look deep in his soul. He doesn't consider himself as at fault, But wants others to help reach his goal.When failures arise he blames it on all Who failed to help or take part, "They never did what they were told, " he would say, "they haven't got the skill or the art."What kind of a leader are you going to be - the kind who thinks he is the best?
Or will you be one of the very few greats Who attributes success to the rest. Don't fail to look at the help you received From parents and friends all your life. They comforted you, praised you, and gave you the push to help you through trouble and strife. Another whose help you should never forget, Who gave you your life and His love, The One to whom all of our assets are known Is the One whom we pray to above. Be humble in all of your leadership traits. Thank those who have made you so tall. Be human to others, consider them too, Then smile through the glass on the wall.
taken from http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/leadchr.htmlI have already got into the main commitee. Commitees to me, means people who are commited to the organization. Well, seriously speaking, I have commited to chinese orchestra since the day I was persuaded by my sec sch instructor and Ivan to stay on after felt like giving up as I couldn't play the cello properly back then.
Today yi jie was asking why I wanna be VP and not librarian. I have no idea. To learn to be a leader? Well, it isn't how we look in ourselves but how people perceive us to be leaders. LOL, sounds like social psychology isn't it? I'm not good at keeping stuff and I'm disorganized so what? haha. To be a librarian seems tough to me because from what I heard, 2nd year is packed with assignments from what I heard. But I'm lucky to have yi jie to share my burden. HAHA! We shall be the two Quartermasters. you one quarter I one quarter, 'gan qing buay shua' =D
The main commitee should be a team afterall. I guess I won't be choosing VP because I want things to be settled quickly and not letting ex-main comm to have a tough time of deciding. I hope the next batch of president and vice president will make changes for the better. XD Let's have one fun day for CO every month!
And today Eileen brought some home-baked cookies! omg.... it's so good, 2nd to Famous Amos cookie =D I still remember the cookies I baked in secondary school home econs. It was edible straight from oven but it turn rock solid after a few hours.
=X it's 2.42 am now Well, this is the time when everything quiets down and I start to think about the events today.
I went to an xi hui guan today. Today I went to return the costume and practice some new songs with notes I had a hard time to understand. (numbers with dots) -_-" bean sprouts scores are better. I wasn't myself when I'm there. Well.. Love's blind. Say no more. It's late now.. gotta go watch Achmed in youtube =D got new version liao.
