what a hectic past few daes for me haha..and the next few daes even more hectic, going MC chalet at East Coast from wed to fri!! yay...

went for FOP meeting yesterdae and the prospect of FOP greatly excites me.. i got Arts Camp PD, a challenge which i relish greatly, and which i know will keep me occupied for the rest of the year. i m glad the talk with Ridhwan cleared up many issues that were bothering me, and i m damn glad and encouraged by the support he s given me. Aaron too, His sentence "Hock dun worry, u take PD, we all seniors will come back and support you!!!" was very very encouraging for me. Thanks dude.

To most people, Arts Camp only takes place in June or July next year. But for me, the journey has already began. I know taking up this job will involve a lot of sacrifices, a lot of sweat, a lot of money, a lot of conflicts here and then, a lot of time, a lot a lot of stuff... but i have decided to follow my heart and my passion. I know that at the end of the day, and at the end of the camp 7 months later, when i look back at all that has happened and all that i have done, everything would have been worth it.

It happened to me before with the Youth Leadership Training Camp 3 years ago. When i reflect about the camp now, all i see before me were beautiful wonderful memories as a PD..and these are things which stay with you for the rest of your life.

Arts Camp will no doubt be a new experience. Steven once told me that the greatest satisfaction he got from being O Week PD was when almost 300 Arts personnel did collective cheering in front of him. That kind of feeling, that kind of high, honestly speaking, i cannot wait to experience.

An added feeling is that ridhwan told me yesterdae that it is the first time in years that the Arts Camp PD is a freshmen..Pressure on me? Definitely. If Arts Camp cock up, FOP as a whole will be severely affected. That was a hesitation i faced in the beginning, before we submitted our proposals, before i talked to Eunice, before i thought about Raynard, before i sat down and thought hard about it....

Am i scared now?

HELL NO.

In fact, i feel so psyched up for this challenge. i cannot wait to get the first com meeting underway. I feel confident, but not over-confident, because there are still a lot of holes and red tapes which i do not know. But i know there are a lot of people around who love Arts Camp and who love Arts Club who will guide me along the way. Seniors especially, and i really appreciate that.

If there's one thing i like in life, it is to prove people wrong in the right way. :p

And so, with the end of the meeting yest, the journey to Arts Camp 2005 officially begins for me.
