two thousand and eight

a year of breakthroughs
a year of growing up
a year of knowing myself much more
a year of battles
a year of despair and depressions
a year which huiyu isn’t like that huiyu in 2007

but all i shld do now is to

REMEMBER LOT’S WIFE
which is simply to FORGET and LOOK FORWARD.

let pray that 2009 will be the best year yet.
gonna start making goals and filling up the boxes in that goal-setting card
start to have directions for the new year to come.

by the way, the year 2008 is not only a leap year but also has one more second.
so, rmb to count down like that: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1

i only went for 2 sessions….

it’s during my exam period…. not a very good excuse though.

at least i devoted my whole sat to AC.

manning my comms from 2pm to 10pm.

8hrs of that earpiece in my ear, it’s hard not to feel the pain after that.

8hrs of the need to stay very alert and up to hear from the noisy background

and after that, i still have tons of wires to sort out. argh.

XLR female, XLR female, phone mono, phone stereo, RCA

3metres, 5metres, 10 metres, 20metres.

one thing i really learnt above all the sermon messages….

trust God, be faithful in little things, many times they are the sai gang, not one of the so significant things…

for this, knowing in ur head is not enough, ur action and ur experience of going thru it is much more impt.

after being in sound for 1.5years, though times in sound tend to be more intense, critical and up and tight, i would say i learn alot and in many ways.

not only the technical part, but also how the church really operates as we work very close to the pastors.

many times i will hear stories how those who are high up in the board work. and many times, i realised it’s really the little things, the faithful little things that make them different, and that make them good servants that are serving pastor directly. their hearts and minds are so focused on serving pastor and i feel so far. they are true, mature sons and daughters of God.

in sound, it also make me learn that many times we will think the things we do are so insignificant and small as compared to others in a ministry or cellgroup but these are the little things that are important and things cannot go on without. and every single person and role in the ministry, team for the svc and cell group is vital and without any, it’s just losing a leg or a hand to a human being. as everyone of us do our little part to contribute and be faithful, not despise whatever we are doing, together we can then function as a effective body of Christ. a body cant work efficiently w/o any part of it, even a finger is important.

MISIA Concert

a super overdue entry. hees.

we went for MISIA concert 2 weekends ago. 13 Sep. with his bro

bleahs, also the day i lost my wallet and actually found it afterwards all thanks to Mr BF

really grateful to have such a great bf like him who really complement me in many ways.

MISIA have really a magnificant strong voice. petite girl with a strong voice. her highs notes were really strong unlike most singers who usually sing “zia ying”. she can actually sing 5 octaves, meaning 5 levels of do re me fa soh la ti do. yeaps, this is how powerful her voice is. i prefer her slow songs as i am not a very energetic and “yo-yo-yo” person. haha~~~ enjoyed myself though i cant understand anything. haha. the lightning and laser effects were nice and liven up the whole hall despite of the small stage. the sound wasn’t surround though, just amplifiers at the front. however, i guess her voice is powerful and good enough to saturate the whole hall with the ambience we usually achieve with surround. a lil strong and “o my face”feeling at times though.

den we saw groups of japanese ladies wearing their traditional kimono to the concert and we requested a photo with them

it’s not worth it.

just came back from USSUN appreciation dinner. haha, a 8 course dinner, for the things i did in USSUN. yeaps. asked me if i felt appreciated? i would say i am ok bah, i didnt do alot as compared to many of my peers, so to me, i am ok.

however, i feel sad for many of my peers over there. if i were them, i definitely wont feel appreciated for all the hard work they had put into the projects for USSUN. why? because of how *EXahemCahemO* as a whole treat them back. despite the much effort put in, behind the scene and he success of all the projects we did for them, all we got NOTHING! let’s start from the best proj publicity, 2 out of the 4 nominees were done by us but some *BIahemZCahemOMM* got it lar. like wat de? what is vanity fair, can u tell me? faintz~ nvm, that’s not all. for the best newcommer, 6 out of the 10 nominees were from us but NONE out of the 3 prize receiptant is from us! what the! cant believe it. they just make it too obvious! a sign of disapproval? a sign of disacknowledgement of our work?

i think that it’s just all not worth it to work for them.or rather few biased, power and position-seeking people who manipulated the others’ thinking, some of them are even backstabbers, used pru as a platform to go that high but backstab us in return when so many seniors and fellow members helped him along the way. with friends like u, who needs enemies?

there’s also another character that is involved bah. i guess his matric no is U01***** bah. ahemahem, he just made it too obvious that he doesnt want us to rise up. he used his authority and power trying to put so much obstacles for the past yr for most of our projects. and after everything,  we didnt even get anything, any acknowledgement of wat all the people had done. all due credit became his. bad leader, definitely not a leader who serve. my mum and sis who just got matriculated this yr even had a bad impression of his sucky attitude with just one contact with him. wow~ is that how USSUN is represented? by a person such as this? a retainee? by a person who drop out of ur course in yr3? how clever and smart is he? to be good leader, i tink there are far too many better options out there! alright!

but at least this shows that we are indeed strong and powerful and influential enough to make them actually worry about our existance.

okok, no more rants, being angry and sad with people like that are just not worth it. we have better things to do. mug, find bf, beauty sleep, exercise. so many things to do man.

still not worth it, my friends. after all, the people who gets the glamour and power is still them.

.

.

all these really shows the working world outside. the strive for power to be in own hands.

i would say that the superior above u is very impt to determine if u can be elevated or just be stagnant in the same position for the next 10 yrs. friends, if your superior is someone who credit all ur work to urself and don’t like you, i tink it’s really hard for u to raise up to the next level, no matter how hard u try. this is the crude reality. i would rather quit, really! there are definitely greener grass and better trained superior than this cos it’s all not worth it.

i nvr like this kind of power and position fighting scenarios and never wanted to get involved in all these. i had my fair share in sec sch and had seen enough, it just leaves pple disappointed and sad.
