Wednesday, May 17, 2006 There's really no way to describe it simply in a few words or phrases, not even in 10 pages of writing, but I felt it today. The Rafflesian Spirit. Spending a total of more than 20 hours learning how to build, transporting materials for, and building scaffolding for our banners, cheering our hearts out for our team at the rugby finals today, it was really a great atmosphere and such encouragement to see so many Rafflesians turn up to support the ruggers. But what was even more amazing was how you stop looking at the individual person as someone you like or dislike, but start looking at him as a Rafflesian, a part of your school, a part of your student body, a part of your family. And I know that was how a lot of us felt today. Even though i wasn't down there in the field myself, i felt as close to each and every one of the players as though i was the one doing the tackling. It was really a heartwrenching 5 minutes with we lost 2 tries in that short span of time even though we were leading 10-3 for most of the match, and the heartbreak was so overwhelming that a lot of us couldn't stop the emotions from running down the sides of our faces, players and non-players alike. We might have lost today, but as Rafflesians, we've succeeded tremendously and again i reinforce how proud i am to be of Raffles. It's also re-ignited my fire, thank the Lord. I was feeling a bit lackluster about training recently, but supporting so many matches these few weeks with the crazy match schedules, I really felt the fire and the drive to win come back to me again. I won't stand for 2nd place, I want the gold. That's the easy part. The hard part is being a captain...the hard part is driving that spirit into every other team member's heart. That's the challenge posed to me right now, and i gotta figure out a way to step up my game. But thank God for all He's blessed me with, the ability to inspire the hearts of others through words and actions. Really haven't been using it to the best of my ability lately...i've been a good player, a very good player, improving myself both physically and mentally, but i haven't been a good captain, i haven't brought that spirit to the rest of the team and i've stopped burning for the rest of my team mates. It's probably because of the lack of time, the lack of energy, that i just want to get things done well for myself before thinking about anything or anyone else, but i used to be a candle that could ignite the passion in everyone else's hearts, now i'm just a lamp. I give the light, I lead people along the way, but i don't let them shine their own light. That's what i need to do. It hasn't been easy seen Mr. Eng left...we really relied a lot upon him for the mental aspect of our game, the MST(mental skills training, although we called it Mr. eng Start Talking :P) and now it seems that the physical training is all being done really fabulously by Mr. Tan, but we lack the mental sharpness and unshakeable confidence that used to flow so freely through us all. Time to step up to my role as a captain...time to take up the challenge...I know for sure that I'll never be able to match what Mr. Eng did, with his education in sports psychology and his experience, but i'll try my best to make it up with heart and passion. I really hope that i can come up with something that'll stir the spirits of all the judokas. We don't have very long left to go, competition's in July. And like i said, i'm not going to settle for second place. Thank God for Raffles, thank God for all that He has blessed us with, I truly pray that our instutution and our college will not only continue to grow and develop in terms of sports and education, but also that one day, the greatest college in Singapore may serve the greatest purpose in the world, to glorify the Lord.

Sunday, May 07, 2006 Lincoln, your love personality type is ESTJ About 12% of the U.S. population possesses the combination of traits that make up this personality type.Being an ESTJ, you can stand out from the crowd for all kinds of reasons. Among your unique qualities are strong determination and a sharp mind. Together, these traits often mean that an honest day's work isn't likely to strike fear into your heart. On the contrary, you're one who can truly appreciate commitment to a job well done. This steadfast nature usually carries over to your relationships as well; you're rarely one to run off because things have gotten tough. This is an admirable quality. Your philosophy of relationships appears much like your work ethic. You're the kind who believes that what you put into a relationship is typically what you get back. Because of this no-nonsense approach, you aren't the type to overwhelm others with your warm and fuzzy ways. However, when people want to hear truth, they should knock on your door. Hey i disagree i think i'm pretty warm and fuzzy! No? Council meeting whole day tmr...ggxxxxxxxxxxxxxx lah.......whole day meet here meet there it's DAMN SIAN!!!! But ahhh it's definitely necessary, i just have to rant about it or i will feel even more sian. But nvm at least got the faggots to keep me company larh. Ok goodnight i should go sleep now! 1 Year Anniversary at 11:09 PM
This truly is the dead of the night. When there is not a single person awake in the 100 square meter vicinity, when less than 5 people are online on MSN and when you feel like the word is really at a stand still. But i guess that's what happens after you go for dance night, chill with your friends and come back to dota. My gosh i can't believe i'm still awake right now i should be spending my weekend resting and doing my work! Indeed i regret the hours i spent doing absolutely nothing constructive while maths/chem tutorials, GP essay and mugging for bio SPA remains undone in the back of my mind. And on the top of my table. Ok fine maybe i don't regret all of it. Dance night was very very good, definitely the best performance i've watched this year. Couldn't appreciate all the dances, but i don't think anyone would complain about the Latin :p damnnnn that was hot! But i thought that the chinese dance really outshone the modern dance, they were a lot more synchronised and well oiled. Individually, i think that the modern dance dancers were better, but as a whole, definitely chinese dance pwnage. Funny how events like these always turn out to be socialising events as much as performance appreciation though. First time i've seen some of the girls dressed up so nicely, makeup and all, and definitely the first time i've seen some of the guys bother to look good!I wonder why...:p Had a loooooooongggggg talk with Pastor Heng in the afternoon for more than 2 hours before heading to Victoria Concert Hall too, was really really great i really needed it to help clear the doubts in my mind about church, about school, SV, and even the company i keep. Really thank God that we always have a reliable pastor strong in the faith that we can always turn to. Whenever I talk to Pastor Heng, he always resonates with this aura of peace and serenity, like he's sure of everything that's going on and nothing could take him by surprise. There's this sureness even in his stepping and one can truly see the image of God portrayed in his being, it's really a great example to see...really hope that i'll be able to have that likeness shining in me too. But well, i've got 50 odd years to catch up to him :) Hopefully i'll make the best of them. God bless you all, good night :) 1 Year Anniversary at 4:01 AM
