Today, I had a very tiring day. It started by today, I have to wake up DAMN early, around 6 a.m to get ready to go to Tampines West Community Centre to attend the Student Forum there. The forum starts at 8 a.m till 3.30p.m. I and 2 other committee members and 1 sub-committee member from the other CCA were involved.

I thought that the forum will be between student leaders from various polytechnic. But it turns out to be that we are the only polytechnic students that were invited. Other tertiary school students that were invited is 5 students from Tampines JC. And about 80% of the paticipants are secondary school students. I was like "DID I GO TO THE WRONG FORUM!" But soon we found out that it is actually a forum between all the instutions within the tampines area. So yup, we have to mingle, play games and discuss with the secondary school kids. Not bad, I like it though.

GAMES? Yes! There's games and running around and THEY CALL THAT A FORUM! I think they have to check the dictionary again. But it is only the first half of the event and then we proceed to normal discussion on certain topics. But I still think, the word FORUM should not be use. I feel like I've been cheated. HAHA! Not only that, when I was inform of the invitation by this SAA person, she asked us to wear smart casual. However, when we went there, we were given a t-shirt for us to change to. SO WHAT'S WITH THE SMART CASUAL? They can just asked us to where normal clothings so I don't have to waste my time to decide which of my smart clothes to wear.

I don't feel comfortable initially but luckily the facilitators there are mostly, an ex-TP students. So it doesn't feel that uncomfortable because WE ARE FAMILY! HAHA!

Anyway, all of the participants were allocated into different groups. So for the first half of the event, we have the games session. So we have to run around to different games stations ala Amazing Race. Then after that we played the HUNTER, FIRE, EARTHQUAKE games and also build a very tall structure using only a number of magazines provided to each group.

Then later, I was interviewed by this reporter. He looks familiar though. If I'm not wrong, he's a reporter for Suria news. Then he asked me all sorts of questions and SUDDENLY, Mr MasAgos (I think he's the Minister for Tampines GRC) came in. I was shocked but I manage to maintain my COOL! He was suppose to grace the event as GOH but I dunno when he will be coming down to the place. So I'm stuck between him, reporter, event organiser and several other guests. OUH MY GOD! HOW EMBARASSING IS THAT! But Mr MasAgos makes me feel comfortable. He asked me several questions. I manage to answer him with full of confidence. I GUESS? However, eventually, I found myself to be the EXTRA among the crowd. So I decided to move out from the crowd and join my group back who is at the other end of the hall and discussing on topics regarding YOUTHS.

So for the other half of the event, we have discussion sessions. We discuss on how to improve the CC in order to make it more youth-friendly.

Overall, I kind of like the event. I manage to meet lots of people. And in my group there is this 2 secondary school girls. One is sweet and pretty and the other one is CRAZY! She reminds me of one of my primary school friends. This primary school friend of mine, likes to talk very loud and laugh when she's sleepy, tired, and all other weird reasons. And this is what I experience with this girl. The first part of the event, she was OK. But then when it comes to the other half, she turns into a laughing gas. She started to talk CRAP! Asking questions which was out of the topic that we were discussing. Then she said, "HAHA! When I'm tired I tend to go CRAZY. HAHAHAHAHA!" But anyway, she's very STRAIGHT FORWARD person. VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD. She can just SLAP you literally with her questions or statement.

So this girl was asking for my handphone number and email address. I also did asked her the same thing. Then she asked me to give her my photo so she can put it in her contact. So when I call her, my photo will be dispayed. I was unwilling to give it to her. I mean like WE JUST MET! However, I didn't hear her properly so I thought she asked me to take her photo from her phone and using bluetooth to transfer to my handphone. I felt quite weird though. But I did. Then when I found out that it was actually not suppose to be like that, I was SO PAISE! I FEEL LIKE I'M A PERVERT! Take a girl photo without permission. HAHA! But she allow me to have it since she didn't say anything when I show her the photo I took from her phone. However immediately, I delete her photo from my handphone. Anyway, I didn't give my photo to her because I bluff her and said that, I'll give my picture later because I have feedback forms to fill up. Then immediately after the whole event, I and the other 2 committee members rush back home. HAHA! SCARED OF GIRL! No lah. It's just that she's UNDERAGE mah! So must be very cautious lah a little bit....

I went home after that and then have to go down again to vote for the HDB Upgrading Package. We were given this lucky draw after the voting at the polling station but TOO BAD, we didn't win. While accompanying my father voting, I saw my CCA member. She lives at the same neighbourhood and her mother was part of the RC committee I think. So she was also helping out in the voting event. Then she asked me whether I want to be part of the YOUTH WELFARE COMMITTEE thingy for the RC there. So I asked her to give more details about it. So she asked me for my handphone number to get back to me. I was like WAH! I'M SO POPULAR TODAY! ANYBODY ELSE WANTS MY HANDPHONE NUMBER! HAHA!

do you feel, what I'm feeling now?
