April 10th, 2006» Pre-Birthday Celebration

- 7:07 pm

Today, I received my first birthday present this year, a treat to Macdonal’s EVM. It’s true that the meal doesn’t cost that much but, like what everyone always says, it’s the thought that counts.

I’m dedicating this section of the entry to this friend of mine, Seehua, for being one of my best friends all these years, 11 years to be exact. She’s the one that never fails to remember my birthday and the one that will lend me her ears when I need to complain. Thank you so much for always being there for me!

Off topic:
I would also like to clarify something regarding the previous blog entry of mine. I do not doubt Jermain’s sincerity in apologising and neither am I discrediting his attempt to make up for the situation.

I suggested a better solution to the matter on his tagboard. He accepted that suggestion, which I’m glad he did, and I’m sure everything will turn out fine.

And, the people in our section live happily ever after…

April 9th, 2006» Apology Matters

- 7:21 pm

I’ve just read Jermain’s last blog entry on his apology. Nevertheless, I think that post is really not necessary, since it is neither dedicated directly to the seniors he had insulted, intentionally or not.

My thought is that if he is sincerely apologetic, he should apologise to the seniors, especially to Andy, personally instead of creating a blog entry that addresses anonymous commenters and seniors in general. Personally as in physically or, if he finds it hard like me, atleast directly via phone or instant messenger. I believe it is, by far, the most sincere form of apology. Note that by that, I don’t doubt his sincerity.

It is common to make mistakes. What determines one’s moral values is whether one has the courage to make up for his mistakes.

It also doesn’t matter anymore if one is truly at fault, or even if anyone is actually at fault, if one is sincere about changing the situation for the better.

Just last year, I had a disagreement with my sectional leader, Melissa. Much resentments were made initially. Nevertheless, I took the first step and apologise to her personally. She, of course, graciously accepted my apology and even apologised to me too. Yes, it’s hard to swallow down my pride and humble myself to apologise but it’s well worth it.

I have done it too. What about you?

April 7th, 2006» Working things out

- 6:40 pm

My application to Chemical Engineering in Temasek Polytechnic was successful. I feel more settled down with my life now that there’s something, finally, for me to look forward to. Life’s dull staying at home staring into empty spaces everyday.

Well, tomorrow’s alumni practice won’t be as cool as before due to many people, mainly the Meridian JC bunch because of their band camp, not turning up. I do feel kinda left out but I’ll get over it soon.

I believe I will sound horrible tomorrow as I’ve not been practising on my flute.

Anyway, HSCB will be playing “Dancing in The Wind - Kaze No Mai” instead of “AIRS for wind orchestra” for the coming competition. Upon hearing this, I can’t help but to feel worried for them. Frankly speaking, even MJCSB have yet to really master the song. It will be a miracle HSCB will play it well. Who knows? Miracles do happen.

Comment?
