Memories...

I had tons of fun at Foodhunt last Sat haha..As usual, i only signed up the night before, and initially i was a little unsure about joining, coz e event ll take e whole dae till night..and i had a crucial debate and report due on mondae..
But then i asked myself again...something which i always ask myself when making decisions in life. Eg if i choose decision A over decision B, would i regret for the rest of my life not making decision B instead? This decision-making principle has stayed with me for a long long time. So in e end i decided to go for Foodhunt instead, esp as Xinyu has been asking me to join as early as January..
And i must say, i most certainly did not regret going for it! n_n it was great food, great fun, and most importantly to me, great company. Shifty, Gandhi, jay jayz and bit bit..we really had a wonderful time talking cock and catching up, and we really run like xiao for almost all the stations man! haha! Damn the yu tou mee fen stall for not letting us eat! But really, Sat reminded me once again of how zai Shifty, Gandhi, and jay jay are..reminded me of how lucky i was for having them in 26th MC..They were so proficient in what bus to take, what direction to go, so onz and so full of ideas that i didnt had much to do except run and eat on sat haha..and in e end we got 2nd!! haha! We were so happy coz we didnt waste all our efforts in piaing yay!
Overall i felt the event was really good and well-organized..could tell that e o com had quite good dynamics as well..wonderful foodhunt 07! =)
Dropped down to Sentosa for BVB on sundae for a short while as well..looks good as well..i think there's always a lot to be learnt from each year's events..and i thought it was good that there were attempts to enlarge BVB to include beach soccer, touch rug, and frisbee..who noes, maybe in future years, BVB can be even more massive, which ll be great.
On another note, i wasnt selected for the NYC YoungChangemakers panel. Hmm, got the results this morning, and was quite disappointed. I think the interviewers might have felt that i have too many other commitments outside, or that they might have felt that the experience could have been better given to a younger candidate. My brother feels that interviews can be a very subjective thing..he just came back from an OCBC interview few days ago and has successfully gotten into the 2nd round. I was real glad for him, and he was sharing his experience that different organizations may look for different personalities or traits in a candidate, or candidates who are most suited to their own organizational culture.
But being the optimist that i am haha, i guess i ll just move on from here. The good news is that the Global Youth Symposium in KL in May is still on, and i ll be going with another 2 NUS guys. And there's also SMUN to look foward to. But my drive for helping out grassroot or youth organizations is still strong, and i ll def keep a look out for any further opportunities to learn from this arena.
I have also been quite amazed and disgusted by how some people can use so much lies to further perpetuate their lies, or to hurt the people around them, even their own friends. Its quite incredible that such people do not realize what they are doing, or the consequences of their actions. Remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? In e end none of the villagers believed e boy anymore when the real wolf came. You are in a similiar situation becoz u have betrayed the trust of all your friends, people who have genuinely cared for u and stayed by your side when u were down. People who have shed tears for u when they thought that u genuinely had a problem. People who were willing to sacrifice their own time and happiness becoz of u.
And this is the way u repay them.
And this is the way u bitch about them.
And this is the way u accuse them of unimaginable sins.
And this is the way u try to screw around with their feelings.
And this is the way u try to stir shit.
And still, you refuse to repent and carry on repeating your dreadful mistakes.
To my friends out there, keep your eyes wide open. Unfortunately, there are people around who are not what they seem to be. Be careful of what you hear.
