I guess I'm just not that normal

Typing out each and every word out right now,one thing I know is that I'm quite beat up.

Right now I'm limping as I walk,because

I walked through a 25km hike,with a shoe size slightly smaller than my feet,now my feet's palm hurts.

My shoulder hurts,because I worked on my shoulder in the gym on Friday just before the Hike.
I have a lack of sleep because I was awake 30+hours.

I also have a bad sunburn from guiding the Greenridge boys under the sun. Never felt so beat up before.

I figure that normal people would probably start complaining,whining,boycotting next week's meeting(like what I have done for the last 3 months).

I guess I'm just not that normal.I'm not complaining,whining and such,I also have no problem going back to doing those stuff all over again.

Am I crazy?

again,I'm just not that normal.I am the Best In The World and my Absence from Venture for the past 3 months is not because I couldn't take it.I decided to take a break because I felt that I had something else to prove.

Good school or not?

So I have been studying at Republic Polytechnic for a semester now.On the first few days,it felt okay.

It was really easy to adapt to their type of Learning,which was called the Problem Based Learning(PBL).Solving problems as a group is definitely fun,because you can dig deeper,by asking more questions which some people could answer.

Their breaks in between the lesson really brings down our stress level,by letting us have some food or even taking a breathe


so if you go to school and you understand everything,but no "lecturers" recognize your results?Does it really mean that you have a good result?


Don't answer that,it's a rhetorical question.The Answer is no.



Everyday in Rp,you will receive a Daily grade,which will be taken for the GPA each semester.Your Facilitator(lecturer) will give your grade depending on your Quiz,Evaluation,daily performance and Reflection journal each day.


I know I am capable of getting "A" in some,but not all.However that is not the case.The trick lies in kissing the right a**,well,Some of my classmates,Talented and skillful in some of the module don't get the deserved grade because they don't kiss a**,neither do I.


I probably lying,right?
Try enroll into this school and stay for one semester,I'll see what you think.

Parawhores United......

I figured since I haven’t blogged for quite a while now,I thought I should do one,since my life is so exciting now,I’ve been rehearsing with my awesome band,The Cruel crew and performing at CCs,RCs or whatever small event that need a band.

KK and I have been trying to write original songs to play at gigs.I have been trying to also write scripts to act as for myself.Hopeful,I can get me a job in some play or any random television show by mediacorp?,I mean I have acted in one play.

Chris Mcqueen is going back to work soon,because he is under the contract of OSA,so if he were to be on strike, he would be would be sued of everything he has.I have promised him that there is an upgrade in the equipment A.S.A.P,The new Youtube singer would be there as soon as the upgrade is done.

I recently(Actually close to a month) went to My fifth concert of this year,which was the most exciting one I have ever been.It’s by Paramore.

Their Opening act was by the Sweller,which was their last gig with Paramore.What an honour it was to watch them perform,they were great.
It was just purely crazy.There were lightsticks flying all over throughout the show. Everyone was jumping around(got my feet stepped on a lot of times and ate some fan’s hair accidently.Dammit…)

Even my Friend,Hairul who went with me didn’t know much songs from paramore,he was hopping around and trying to hum along with their songs.

I felt it would be more crazier if the Farro Brothers was still around.

If you haven’t been to a paramore show,you haven’t been to a real concert,I tell ya

That pretty much done for this post,I hope you were there,if not,remember to buy their tickets for their next show in Singapore.

Misguided ghost

Not really talking about the Paramore which I went a couple of weeks ago.

I'm talking more about this

Your response must be "Hey,Seng Ann,you never talk about news what?Why talk about it now?".It's true I guess that I have never cover news or anything like that on my blog.


I was actually given the link by my cousin who happened to be from the same primary school as me,so we know just about everyone in each other friends list.


Our usual conversation would be all about Wavehouse,I.T shows or whatever interest we have in common.

So today,he talked to me via Facebook chat,so this is how he started the convo.
Him
eh
u know something?

My response to him like every singaporean would.
Me
huh?
what?

Him
chu da is dead

My mind was trying to register this line,Chu Da?Who is that?the names so familiar yet,I can't remember.Took me quite awhile,but I remember who he was.Instinctively,I asked...

me?(At that time I wasn't given the link)
huh?how?

My cousin asked me to go to his wall on Facebook(Author's note:Since I took so long to think who he was,do you think I even added him on FB?so I couldn't see anything) and he gave the link to the page.


What my cousin wanted me to see is that his friends all posted R.I.P or Rest In Peace or something like that on his wall.I didn't do it,because (I didn't add him on FB)I felt that he also won't be able to see it.


Chu Da was a guy who is a rather talkative guy I know.I think everyone in my primary school would remember him for his relation with Jessie(Not to be confused with recording artist,Jessie J,whom I didn't add both on FB either)


His dad sadly passed away when he was in Pri Sch,if I'm not mistaken.I figure that's why he was forced to go out and work.I heard from my cousin that his mom fell ill,which pressurized him and his 2 older brothers so much more.

If I'm not mistaken he's from the Technical class,so he wouldn't have know about the 3 different types of wire,he unfortunately touch the live wire by mistake.

He wasn't a bad person at all,he was friendly,but god ended his life in such manner and at such young age.I'm sure the family need the money,but he lost his life because of that,so maybe Money is really the root of all evil.


R.I.P Chu Da,Hope you have fun in Heaven,bro

I think I choose...Tan

There are a few people who asked me who I thought is going the president....Before the whole rally thing started up,I didn't know who the Tans were.Tan Tock Seng was the only famous Tan I know of.


I know nuts about politics,neither am I eligible to vote for the next president.Growing up,I have alway been a fan of the Opposition parties,like many,I want to see changes to Singapore.I always have this mentality that The opp party can bring changes.


so Why am I talking about this?

A couple of days back,I remember my father and grandmother telling me the history of Singapore


They said that Singapore used to be the same as the rest of the countries,like Phillipines,Vietnam,Malaysia,Cambodia.All the countries had one thing in common....being poor.

It was because of people like Lee Quan Yew and Goh Keng Swee who changed the landscape of our country,Malaysia had followed our foot steps that's why they are who they are today.

My father also believes that without them,We would still be poor,No Gucci,No prada,No Iphone,maybe even no macdonalds.

We used to be so poor that my grandmother who was selling Kuehs(Cakes/Pastries) was forced to go to Malaysia everyday to sell them.(See the change that many wanted?)


People are complaining about tax,this and there,instead of a better tomorrow....

People are saying what they demand out of the president.I remember reading a news article saying that the president cannot speak unless the Cabinet ask him to,so it's as good as signing up to be a mute.Well,that's just my opinion.

No,I'm not saying PAP is better or anything,but if I were to vote I would choose the one who can make the biggest impact in changing our country,regardless the party or whatsoever.

I don't wanna see no more~~~

I actually thought Planning and organising of the field day would elevate me to be seen as one of the best.I couldn't seem to break out from the middle of the pack,it was starting to affect my attitude towards the group.Being at the top is addictive and like Seinfield said about air tickets,once you fly first class,it's hard to go back to the coach.But I was stuck in the middle-seat smoking and it was starting to really frustrate me.

Adding to the dilemma was that Field day turned out okay,I wasn't given a role the next meeting the next Saturday in Fajar Sec.No role,no task,no blindfold Obstacles-Nothing.It felt like 2006 again,when I wasn’t given a chance to lead anything .I didn’t feel that there was enough talent on the roster to where they can afford to leave me off,and it really bothered me.

At GCM,parry said"I need Jun Yan and Seng Ann for NPC"
Zhen Wei's reaction took me aback."ok can,but I won't give you Seng Ann,I get you someone better"
I felt a lil better when Parry disagrees

I sat there in stunned silence,thinking “wow,where did all of these come from?so my boss feels that I can't lead or in this case,teach?”

I didn’t felt that I was very hard to work with or hard to get me leading,I just have a lot of confidence and courage to stand up for what I believed in.My band had given me the nickname AO Sengann,which stood for Always Opinionated ,and it fits me perfectly.Being AO was what helped me make it as far as I had,but being AO also bits me in the ass at times.

I probably had been better to be told to suck it up and stormed away,but I was left baffled. His words really pissed me off, and for the first time since I walked through the doors of the TFSG, I began to wonder if I really wanted to be there. I was having serious doubts about my position in the group as it was, and being told to “be replaced by "someone" better” by the boss certainly didn’t help my disposition. After six years on the job, maybe it was time to take a step back.

Shortly after Field day,I decided I was going to leave the FSG.Physically I was feeling fine, and after six straight years of Scouting, I’d never been seriously injured (besides injuring my back in 2008) nor had to take any time off.But mentally I was burned out.It was getting harder to reject my friend's outings to go to work voluntarily and it was getting increasingly more difficult to put together meetings. Normally I would go into a quiet corner somewhere and ideas for a meeting would pop into my head rapidly. Now I’d rack my brain for hours and only the most generic of ideas would come.


My drive and desire weren’t there like they used to be either, partially because I’d been painted with the scarlet letter of being a “Hell of a Hand,”. I once again felt like I’d gone down a rabbit hole and returned to 2006.If I was in the past scouting territory system, it would’ve been time to pack up my Caddy and move on to the next group. But now there was nowhere else to go, and even if there was, I wasn’t interested in scouting anymore. I wasn’t 100 percent mentally into it, and that’s a dangerous place to be. It makes it that much easier to get injured, and more important, it’s the source of a bad attitude. I was starting to complain more , and I didn’t want to become one of those guys.TFSG had been very good to me and I wasn’t going to start grumbling and whining about every little thing,setting a bad example and breeding unrest among the entire group, especially the younger guys.


Plus, I needed to get away to explore my other opportunities and interests. The cruel crew(my band) had offers to tour around Singapore, but I had no time to take advantage of them. I also wanted to get a place in Mediacorp so I could seriously study the art of acting. Most important, I have awesome friends whom I wanted to spend more time with.My "contract" is coming up in June and I had a few rovers who kept asking me about "re-signing" as a rover. I kept stalling and telling them I needed to think about it, but in my heart I already knew that for the first time in my life I didn’t want to be a part of this anymore.

Cubs Field Day

I feel very honoured to be given a chance from Ms Peh,the North area District commissioner to plan and organise such a huge event.I have ^never been given an opportunity to plan ANYTHING for my seven years of scouting,but Ms Peh gave the Stranger a chance.


I felt that my planning was okay,but it was average at best.There were points that I definitely could work on,I'm just glad that I have Zhen Wei to guide me along with what I should do.



There were people who were constantly helping me in getting the things done out,I'm very thankful for that.


Ms Peh taking in the all the losses,she didn't have to do that,but she did,she didn't want anyone to take the loss,which of course,was a very noble thing to do.


What went wrong was that the cubs arrived late,which screwed up our programme timing and the number that Ms Peh told me didn't match with the attendance present,Jun Yan has talked to me about this,which I agreed with him,so the only thing I could do wass to limit our spending.Some of the Ventures actually told me to spend everything given in the "Budget",but I controlled their spending to minimise the loss.


There were a few good thing that happened,like the how the games stations were already prepared and the games went swimmingly.The most important thing was that everyone was happy and enjoyed themselves,I think.


I'm just glad that it's finally over.

KTM's GTG

24hours to the start of UT2,I'm not prepared for it yet(As usual),but that's not what I wanna talk about(as usual to


This mid week,I sure everyone in Singapore knew this,The news was that (Transformers is out in all theaters here...)the KTM is going to close down forever.....



so how does that affect me?
Me,A 18 year old teen never have gotten an opportunity to take a ride of that train,so it does affect me at all,right?


Wrong,since it being Malaysian (only,I reckon) Train Station in Singapore,everytime,I go cycling and see the majestic train,I also was jealous of people on the ride.I have told myself I will be on it 1day,but I never have been on board(and never will....).

I believe I will find some time to take a walk along the now-defuncted train tracks,Maybe do a video,so stay tuned

Not Lighting Up = #winning!!!!

Take a look(even if their songs are using the same tune....)


well,that's all from me for now,I'm gonna change the landscape of this blog,like a different type of blogging style like this,I can't wait!!!!!

Wanna live it up,without lighting it up?

Ever dream of wanting to be beautiful,or trying out extremely intensive sport,or get that DSLR that you always wanted?

Instead of me telling y'all what would help in achieving those desires,I'll tell you all what will not help you in getting all those.Smoking.

Yes,Everyone should know that smoking is harmful,because of the few thousand of poisonous materials in that little tiny stick.


Smoking causes you to Age faster and wrinkles will appear at a younger age,it causes teeth to be yellowish and filthy,after smoking you'll have that horrendous smell in your breath,still beautiful?


I have a smoker friend,who is never able to finish a game of basketball with me,he sit out our games to play.If not,he just goes off to smoke.


Of course,Smoking don't get you what you want,because you will spend all your cash on the highly expensive cigarette,which you can't buy your stuff.


so If ya're burning your money away,I suggest you stop/cut down on your cigarette intakes,so please help me by voting for my entry(SengAnn Inthemiddleofitnow).I want more people to know about the harmful effects of smoking and also help me make my childhood dream to be a DJ a reality!!!!

Re:Against it then agree to it....

It's a reply to this stupid and meaningless blog post by whomever that did this,I have NEVER smoke in my entire life and probably never will...

The Host.....

Sounds like a nice title,right?

This is the new title I have from now until 9July,why?


I decided to take up a heavy load for the fox and host a district cubs scout field day(Nope,not 1 school,not 2,but an entire district) in 2 months time.I'm not going to say I'm doing everything all by myself.The ventures has got my back.


7May 2011:Day 1:Start of the planning.
Today marks the start of the planning toward the big event,that's coming up in the start of july.How apropos is it to start on the polling day.

Some personal thoughts...

You may have to bear with me a little bit,I'm probably gonna ramble and don't make my sense,but please just bear with me.I heard a rumor about me and I would want to clear it up


I've been a scout for about 6 years now?
Quite frankly,when I first joined as a scout,I didn't felt like I wanted to stay,maybe it was the continuous challenges I gave myself,whether it's Jobweek day 1 top or NPC silver,NYAA,whatever.It didn't matter what I wanted to do,I just wanted to show that I'm the absolute best.


In my dynamo year,I kept questioning myself,if I should actually be part of the Elite Seal venture.Which I did.It wasn't because all my scouts buddy joined,then I joined,it was because in scout,I was pretty test deprived,hoping that it would change as an elite seal and try to earn the "Big one".


Year 1 of my venture,I felt it was really a waste of my time.It wasn't really getting me to where I should be,I really was at a lost for words there.I personally feel Zhen Wei weren't really helping.

In the midst of everything including my days as a Scout,I have thought about throwing in the towel.I believe it was the challenges that kept me around.

Early this year,I decided to ask about taking test,there were just too much interference from the scouts activity,like the combined meetings and such.


I knew my time was running out,until someone decided to ask who is interested in taking PSA.I have to admit I never have earned the "big one",this was my chance to shine.Everything turned around after that,I have gotten so much tests that's passed after that.I'm even hosting a district event.

It may sound great,but the fact is,there are so much to be done,to a point where I couldn't commit to studying.

The purpose of this post is actually to confirm the rumor that I'm not joining Rovering.
1.I don't think I can commit to my studies.It's time I have to draw the lines.

2.Yeah, it would be great to be a part of it,But I think,at this point in time with all the guys that are joining.Jun Yan is joining and obviously Lukas will be there soon and probably Kai boon. All these guys are joining and so it's better for me not to be there and get lost in the shuffle of everybody that are joining and all the hoopla of Rovering.

3.After the PSA,I don't see much challenges I see for me to accomplish,after that I felt,I have done it all,won it all.

4.Apparently,nobody really gives a damn if I join or not,I would just be another rover.

I respect the position of a rover,I just don't see myself in that spot.Harold have actually spoke to me about becoming a rover recently,but I still don't have that spark to join.I may be a good rover,maybe a bad one,but,I'll never know.

STC

First week of school has ended,I have been very busy with my life.

Schooling has taken over my weekdays.Going to the gym after school is what I intend to do,to keep my body a well-oiled mechanism.

Playing gigs are always fun and they take up the evening off my weekends,sometimes rehearsals are made in weekdays evening.

Scouts have taken the morning of my saturdays and evening of my tuesday,Sometimes,my entire weekend.
Well,whatever it is,this is my 2nd Last year around,I shall do what ever I can,before I make my departure.


This post really isn't about my hectic life.Like the title above states.It's about STC which I have been over the weekend(Author's notes:No Staff Leader have attended STC as many as me,3 consecutive STC,Thank you very much).



I really felt that it was a huge transition from last year to this year,from a Rover(Harold) as camp chief to a further venture,(Joshua).The pressure was really on Joshua and his team.

Apparently,His dad(better known as Uncle Ben to the cubs)[Cubs Leader] wasn't around to guide him.If you google "Benjamin Pwee Bishan",you would understand why he wasn't around.

It was a valiant effort put in by Young Josh,but the teachers of the other schools don't buy it(Nor helping either).What teacher did was throw all their complains on Harold,like he was the minister of complain or something.


One thing is Pin Yi(Assistant camp chief) and Joshua did a great planning of the event,well,the execution...Not so much.That alone killed everything.A proper stand wasn't made,they could have made a stand.


Quite frankly,I only told Josh that I was going to help out in the teaching of the hike.Seeing him in the devastated position he was put in,I decided to help him out in doing what I could do,such as leading the SL,making sure everyone had something to do,while keeping the cubs entertained.


Doing that,I was almost late for my band's first Midshow gig.It was a huge deal for me and my band,because We were slowly moving out as a opening band and we were getting known,I wouldn't missed it for the world.


Day 2,I could leave,because Yasmine(fun-loving cubs scout leader) had arrived,I know he was a huge joker,but when there's work to be done,He'll have it well-done,so I left STC a happy (And longest staying) camper.

A bun and a glass of orange juice

Right after the exhibition of the MFW(See previous post) at Marina Bay Sands,Kakit drove me down to the Birthday party of a 12 year old,Jonathan.



The little boy's terrace house was set to be our stage.When the party started,guest started flowing in,The crew began to look like it's blending into the confines of the house,except for Ka kit who seem to be quite close with the people there.



I asked Ka kit(Drummer,Leader of the crew) instinctively "How much are we paid for this gig?"

He replied "What we need is experience,so we're not getting paid and this is my relative's party,the pay is all you can eat barbeque buffet"



The rest of us were like "Ohh,great".We knew we need experience and playing at kids birthday party is good for us too.I assume our next gig is a party at my friend's friend's friend's dog birthday party



I couldn't believe I left men's fashion show for this.



We got paid in condiments,a glass of orange juice and a hotdog(no mustard,no ketchup).



I wasn't going let it spoil my mood for music.Jon had invited all his friends to watch us perform,so the 10,000(okay,it was about thirty) aged 10-12 were ready to rock.


So we did a cover of That should be me by Justin Biebs(Author's note:It was a 12 year old birthday party,you want me to do a cover of Metallica?)


Then,Wouldn't change a thing of Camp rock(A duet with me and alicia(Keyboardist,Back-up vocals).


Finally ending up with Who Says by Sel Gomez(Sang by me).



We were told to stay and enjoy the food.It was when KK got drunk(thanks to Tiger) and I did too(Thanks to Miranda orange).The beer they have is in bottles,not the Can ones,I wonder why....


So KK had a idea,he finished his beer then started throwing it on the wall of the house after a few throw,The crew got Chased out of the house,WHAT THE HELL?Good job,KK.



With that said,We are still HUGE rockstars!!!

Sense Of Style

I recently got a ticket to go for the Man's Fashion week 2011,By Ka kit,who went with me,because I was much better dressed than any of the Crew member(Still true to the crew though,whatever the heck that means).



Man's fashion week is not a everyday thing,it has only happened in 3 countries,Paris,Milan and now Singapore,which lasted for 5 days at Marina Bay sands.So not any tom,Dick or harry could enter.


Unfortunately,We had a performance later at Kembangan,so we had to leave early,I only got to see the exhibition.


I decided to blog about my style and choice of clothing.Well,I have dabbled with many different style of clothing.

I enjoy Topman,Alfred Dunhill and Emporio Armani for Suits.


For shirts,it varies,I enjoy Hugo boss as well as Messy and for AIX,Armani Xchange,Probably to even Cotton On or Uniqlo to go cheap.


As far as Tie is concern,Topman always does great,as well as G2000.


With a suit,I would always like to have a cool socks,cause people do see your socks.Probably try Designual.


You gotta always have a nice watch.A nice watch always shows off,but be careful not to have too much accessories,because the suit is an accessory itself.Longines/Swatch/Tissot is good brand,but I'm used to my Casio watch.



Sunglasses is great,I always have my uniqlo Sunglasses with me.Topman is also a good brand,but not of it is nice,Fourskin have some cool shades too,but most of it is just whack.


If you're a student,you're trying to stand out among the crowd,I started with the small black spec,which wasn't really standing out,but I matched it with my black headset.


Then I moved on to my white spec phase,where the school had no one donning white spec.About 2 months later after I started wearing it,there was quite a few people having the white glasses.



I started to rock white Audio Technica headsets to match my specs.It was more edgy,cool,interesting.Until The current Discipline master took his chance to banned headphones and people believe he had confiscated it and never to be seen again,well,It's on my head right now.


Beats?what about Beats?I have used beats before,Ka kit's studio has a couple of Beats headset,for our rehearsals,I don't think it's just worth the money,but the quality ain't bad.

In that period,I started wearing sweater,because it was cold,then I made it a frequent thing,which I have fresh cardigans to last an entire week.I wore it regardless warm or freezing weather.The then-discipline master caught me right before every single major exams then.

The very next year,he banned fanciful Jackets,Now you know who caused this...

After,I graduated,I decided to go for contact lenses and shades.


I decided to lose the kid's shirt and went for more muscles shirts and tight fitting shirts.Jeans of recoil is comfortable.In a way I try every way to just stand out from the crowd.

The Journey to the Lightbulb begins

This is a sequel of the lightbulb story,(see award-winning entry for full details).

The "Ex" boss of a mama shop,CEO of a company,the Cadet Lieutenant ­ of a NCC,wait,why am I moving off from my topic,Long story short,The former head honcho(killer word) of the office came back to take a look see.It's axiomatic that the principal(Nor the former principal,nor any people from Hogwards,ESPECIALLY HARRY POTTER!) would want go to fix that Light.


He notice the Flashing lightbulb(and not this blog,how could he?[Shameless pandering at it's finest by the thick-skinned author]).He went to do a research on the workers and see which one of they actually wanted to go fixed the light.



He chose one from the crowded,the first guy was every excited.Then he got the first guy to another guy to talk to him(the former boss) about the faulty bulb.At that point,the second guy was equivalent to a 13 year old schoolgirl going for meeting Justin Bieber for the first time.



The first guy was a Jedi at fixing Lightbulb,he had experience,but never actually fixed one.The second one was willing to try,but had zero experience.The problem is none has fixed a lightbulb.


So,the mission(plausible,Sorry,Tom Cruise) to climb the ladder (of success,I might add) starts and the Journey to the Lightbulb begins...

Time to trade in....

I have been waiting for 2 years to change my phone.

Quite frankly,I have no idea what type of phone to get this time.So far,these are the phone options I have,Zilch,nada,zippo,bupkus(Thesaurus author's note:Insert another words of your choice for nonexistent here).



That really isn't the reason for this blog entry is not to brag about my new phone,but the real problem is actually (you,Lol,take a chill pill,bro/sis) the fact that I can't bear to part with my phone.





*Author's Note:Apparently this is not my phone,cause my phone would be much more beaten up(credits to google)





The problem(you) really makes me not wanna change my phone.


1)It has so much memories from my recently Taylor Swift concert




Or who could forget David Archuleta?



How bout me actually bragging about my test results(Justin Bieber ain't got nothing on me)


Well,I wish I could talk more about it,but I guess it's time to trade in.

Plog Madness?

What in the hell exactly is a Plog.Well, A plog(In author's point of view) means Private blog,where I get blog about my personal stuff which I may not want to reveal in public(like My love life,personal feelings et cetera).However,I would still post stuff that runs through my head and I would wanna express my thoughts to people(I have a Plog).


What's my point of having a blog?Well,having a blog really makes you look back at the stupid stuff you probably did in the past to let people see(that's one reason why I have a plog)



Like using small letter for i instead of I would be one(which can be found in award winning blog instantlyclassical.blogspot.com,Definitely not found in my new plog)


or even having a streak for my examination(which is not found in my plog),so it's always nice,so is the same reason why I Vlog,

Ohh,before I end,Did I mention my new plog?

The lightbulb story

I know I'm not the kinda guy who tells grandparent's story,but my story has it's purpose,if you understand good for you,if not,don't try to understand.


Once upon a time,there was a office with a faulty lightbulb


No one decided to go fix the faulty bulb

There are always a group of new comers each year to work.There will definitely go and attempt to replace it,there is a ladder(Potential) in the group,but when one attempts to climb the ladder and fix the bulb,the others discourage the person from moving forward.


So,the office has a ladder(potential),but it's just not motivated,nobody did anything help fix the light,

what would you have done?

adVENTURED

On 12 March 2011,I went for my 6th consecutive jobweek,which happens every year.That day I became the top scorer on day 1 for the first time in 6 years.


To me,it was really unexpected,because Jun Yan,Xun Wei and I plotted to be on par for our Jobweek,to see how they would divide the gifts.I accidentally messed up Zheng Xu's earning,because he went to work.


On the 2nd day,Dao Yong topped the venture unit with 180bucks.I won the overall Jobweek,by 2 dollars for the first time in my 6 year of scouting.


That is not the reason for my blog entry.I just wanted to talk about the last day.I just really felt that I had no power or whatsoever in Ventures.I took an observation at my fellow ventures.


When I went to the front,Jun yan told me there wasn't a need for so many leaders to be in the front,go back and fall in,so I went all the way to the back,then noticed how the venture unit had no discipline,like moving when falling in and the scout treated us as rolemodel.Zheng Xu turned around and face the remaining Venture unit like the venture chairperson.


"Why are you facing us?"I asked Zheng xu
"Why can't I face you?"He replied,then continue to stand at the same position,before deciding to change.




At that moment,I felt that everything I have ever accomplished,all my accolades,it meant nothing,I felt that I was nothing.

Later,I was given the task to facilitate the cleaning of toilet,which I felt that I was pushed to level ground,I feel I'm nothing in the Elite seal,just another Clown,nothing else.


What first attracted me to Ventures was the PSA,the highest acheivement anyone could get,now it is a pipe dream to me now.Nobody is doing anything to get it,so I have lost my purpose in staying any further.

I have decided to take a break from venturing and go play with my band,probably a tour.I'm not leaving,but I'm only going to be back if I can find a purpose to stay.

My ever "benevolent" Sister

Have you ever had a Sibling,which nosing into your business and give you(In front of your parent,How coincidental!) their wise "Experience".


I know I have.


My ever "benevolent" sister had interrupted my succession in Getting a new Macbook for my Poly year.


"Is it a want or need?" She asked.

Quite frankly,the people who know me,knows that I'm very into doing videos and the other stuff would really work in my way.

so I replied "For me,I feel it's a need"


"Don't be an Idiot la,it's obviously a want,then waste money on such stuff" She replied.She just wanna save my Dad's money.

and my dad constantly replies and in a way siding her "She is giving you the experience she have been through,listen to her"

I have been wanting to own a Macbook since early last year,it has been on my wish list for quite awhile,since the opportunity is here,why not take it?

Since this chapter already unfolded,I won't secretly buy a Macbook behind them(even though I can).I'm going to make them buy for me,whether they like it or not,Bank on that.

SO YOU THINK I'M AS GREEN AS GRASS,HUH?

Blogging is really about talking about your ups and your downs,there can't be ups all the way,that's life.




So early last month,I had a job as an instructor.They said I before I started working,I had to go 20 sessions(or 20 hours) as a trainee and I'm not going to be paid.


I first question the purpose of all this.I mean,I could be paid for while being a trainee,so I figured they wanted to test my endurance in taking jobs like this and proving I was not a flash in the pan.


So in the short 17 days,I completed my 20 sessions.
Here the prove

1. 9 Feb NorthLight school
2. 12 Feb 188 Bukit Batok

3. 12 Feb 188 Bukit Batok

4. 14 Feb Northlight school

5. 15 Feb Northlight school

6. 16 Feb Northlight School

7. 17 Feb Northlight school

8. 19 Feb 188 Bukit Batok

9. 19 Feb 188 Bukit Batok

10. 19 Feb ECP B1 Carpark

11. 19 Feb ECP B1 Carpark

12. 21 Feb Northlight School

13. 22 Feb ECP B1 Carpark

14. 22 Feb Bedok South Sec

15. 23 Feb ECP B1 Carpark

16. 24 Feb Northlight School

17. 26 Feb 188 Bukit Batok

18. 26 Feb 188 Bukit Batok

19. 26 Feb ECP B1 Carpark

20. 26 Feb ECP B1 Carpark


After that,there were totally no shifts,yes,I mean NO SHIFT AT ALL for me,I remember clearly on the last session,I asked Jerald,who is the boss that talks to me like I'm his best friend(clearly not),

Me:"why aren't there slots for me next week?"

"Because you shouldn't cut into other people's classes,I'll put you in a new school"He replied.

My confidence went back up......until next week's schedule,that is.

Mon 7-Mar-11 12:45PM 1:45PM Ngee Ann Pri 1st Class

My first thought was "Hmm....new school,huh?Imma take it"

In the end,I didn't get the slot,as a matter of fact,I didn't even get a slot for 2 FREAKING WEEKS.

SO YOU THINK I'M AS GREEN AS GRASS(another term for inexperience),HUH?


..But really,it wasn't my skating skills nor my teaching skills that were bad,I know that they have a ratio of 1Instructor :20 students,so I saw a slot which only had 2I and 60S,so I took my chance and sent an email to Jerald.

Is it possible for me to join in the slot of
Mon 7-Mar-11 Northlight School?


Then his reply was

If you don’t get paid…..will you still come for the session?



I mean what kind of boss ask his worker to do a job for free?Like I said,it's A FREAKING JOB!!!,not voluntary work.I spent my own money on transport and I expect to earn that amount back


I'm not saying I haven't learn anything there,it's just that I shouldn't be working for a company aren't using their manpower the correct way.

I am not afraid of the consequences and repercussion that may come because of putting this entry live.The most,I would lose the job,but the question is,did I have the job in the first place?

You be the judge!

Finally....

After Months and Months of not returning to my former school,it's time,it's calling me to go back.4.3.11




I'm not going back to find any of my ex teachers,none find any of my juniors,I'm gonna go back and whop some Arse!!!Junior!.



A more correct term is go back and "teach" the boys,hahaha.I'll have fun video will be provided.



4.3.11,The return of the Instant Classic.



Plus check out this video,My first time editing video,not bad for the first attempt already,my Idol,Chris Mcqueen is inside.

Author

I have said before that I always grew up wanting to be New York's times bestselling author....Nah,I grew up just wanting to be an author.



That passion brought the birth of this blog,that I always like to work on.I may not have a degree in journalism(But I would like to...)


There are influence that really just sorta renewed my passion when I lost it.Like Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole series.


But,one of my biggest influence is Chris Irvine,better known as Chris Jericho,who wanted to be either a wrestler or a rock star while growing up.It's really rare that he accomplish both his dream and lives to tell his tale.



His First book,A lion's tale:Around the world in spandex was about,the coming of age and following your dreams as a backdrop.It's about him growing up and reaching his dream to the WWE,or WWF at that time,it's a great read.I have really enjoyed the book.



The reason behind this post is not just about my confession toward my love for writing,it is also to promote Jericho's new book,Undisputed:How to become the world champion in 1,372 Easy Steps,which definitely will be packed together with humor,so I can't wait for it to hit Singapore,so until then

Malaysia!!!!!

Quite Frankly,Other than Batam(Indonesia),I have never been overseas.My parents just wouldn't approve,even if I had friends going with me.So,one day,My grandmother "Jio"(A more correct term would be invited) me go to Malaysia,then my parents want someone to take care of my grandmother,so in desperation,they consent.



My trip to Malaysia really wasn't a fancy one,No luxury of having a hotel,no tour bus/guide,just me and My pops(Grandmother,that's what I called her).



We visited my aunts over in M'sia,They were really great host,to me,even though it was the first time in 17 years,I ever saw them.They live next to a temple,ran by them.It seems as though all of them believes in their religion very strongly.



One of them brought me around shopping,so we went different shopping centres.
like Jusco


I kinda was very negative about going around an unknown country with some people I know for less than an hour,My pops stayed in the temple,because I heard someone was coming over,being the Stranger in a strange land,that what you fear.

I made a friend with a 2 year old child,very cute,He is a drama king,as a young child should be,but he's a kid,which My aunt take care of him as a caretaker.



I had lots of different random thoughts running thru my mind like "Will they kidnap me?",I couldn't speak to the natives,because I didn't know how to speak Malay.


One thing I'm thankful for while I was in malaysia,that they had Starbucks there.


Yep,Chocolate Chip Cream as usual.I was shocked when I first saw the pricing,I was like,Oh My God!!!!16Dollar for a drink,I totally had forgotten about it being in ringgit!!!


I met my cousin,which I had never evvvveeeer seen before,she was a Kindergarden teacher(and she's 19),but I realised she had this common Malaysian accent.


The roads there are totally different from Singapore,the Cars there are uniform like,they drive the same brands,Proton.The coffeeshops and many other stuff are totally different from Singapore.


One reason,why I probably enjoyed myself?

I really had fun there,I was forced to get back to singapore,because I had the Taylor Swift Concert on in the Evening,which I will blog about,probably in my next blog entry.Adios,Amigo

Song Of The Week

Well,last week,I had avril lavigne on my player,with her new single,What The Hell.


This week,we have Back To December by Taylor Swift,who's already in Singapore now and having a Concert on Wednesday,I'll be there.

Burlesque

So recently,I went to the theatres to catch Burlesque,Featuring Christina.The whole story was about a stranger in a strange land and still following your dreams type of movie.It just really makes you feel good,if you get into what you want.



That day,I went home and I watched this television show,called X-factor,which was like a talent show,but I wasn't so impressed.


The next night,I fell in love with this talent,one specific talent,Singing,Yea,American Idol.I used to think that most of the judges are gone,why watch?



but,I was wrong,There still was Randy Jackson,Now added,the beautiful,Jennifer Lopez and the Aerosmith lead singer,Steven Tyler.


I'm really loving it.Can't wait to see who'll win

Secondary school life

I now feel very blessed,I made it through.My father told me I'm a very lucky kid.People had to struggle 4/5 years to make it through secondary school,I only took 2.


Let me explain myself,in case anyone of you are intrigued by my line.Just a little back ground info bout myself,I didn't do much studying in my life,until I came to secondary 4,so that why I'm freakin blessed to be where I'm at.


But now,at least going into repulsive poly,I'm good!!!!

Ol' school

I realise the song of this week is a very Ol' school,which was in 2001,which I thought it was still cool.



This week brings in the new school music.Enjoy

About blogging

I was told that there was a blog that just started in the Fox scout website.I have briefly read through every part of the recent posts.


I gotta say,they have put in lots of effort to make as less formal as they could.It wasn't really a formal thing.It was really a space for the scout,to express their thoughts and experience for the others,which some may relate to.


I wouldn't say it is good or it's bad,it's definitely comic gold,as they experience it themselves.I feel it being as a group blog,they should just get random scout for a post on their views.so they won't be like "Hey look,it's him blogging......Again".I think chances should be given to the rest,instead of the core group of bloggers.


I read Xun Wei's Entry on his CCA hike and I really felt it was really interesting,in parts,like he "Sleepwalking" during the hike,I really enjoyed that one.I believe he was really serious about writing the post.


However,I felt that Kok Hui's entry wasn't so Impressive(but,it was good),There were times were his entry was really intriguing,which left people with "Who?What?Why?" and such and there were moments he tried to make the entry comical(like Simpsons or Family guy),which didn't turn out good nor bad(Like an episode of Hi-5)[Nothing against him],I really felt that the facial expressions is unnecessary,but it was a valiant effort nonetheless and a good learning experience.

Poetic justice

I really haven't been doing any poetry this year,since the last best friend poem,so Tha instant classic decided to a little something something.Here we go!



The world is filled with Engimas
they're like strangers in a random bar
and you'll never guess what or who they are

They resembles a indescribable,yet beautiful scenery
focus,intense,rational,but never seem scary


They are not always nice guys
not that you can tell
nice guys finish last
you'll regret it when you're in Hell

They are clear of the truth and consequences
never question,as hellfire burns



That is an original work of mine,under 5 minutes.Written by an enigma himself

Media superstar

That I don't mind taking the claim,because now I have reach out to more media ways than anyone I know.


I make videos entries of my usual life,to give everyone an update.Through Official Sengann


I have gotten the A-mazing talk show host,Chris Mcqueen on My new tumblr page

I make funny videos with my Co-director,Lu Ting on youtube,through The peeps show


I owned 3 different blogs,2 of them are live,while 1 is private.
Instant classic(No longer updating)
Iamsengann
deloveofmylife(private)



I have my Twitter page that is updated daily,so is my Facebook,


Quite frankly,I don't see how I'm not a Media superstar,tell me something I don't have?,Once my guitar classes starts to end,I'll do covers of singers and start a Myspace page soon,be sure to wait for that =)

What will Seng Ann do?

so O's is over,What did I get?


Yeap,Like the song says I made it.I truly made it.



but not by a long shot,yes,I can go into a poly.The fact is I won't have a full O level cert



This is my results.

English Language: C6
Combined Humans:D7
Math:B4
Sci(Phy,Chem):C5
Art:D7
Chinese: C6



yea,I have a wide selection of poly to go for,but am I happy?


Nope,I was happy when I got my results,but definitely not now.

English is okay,but I was really going for a C5.

Combined humans really pulled an upset,I wasn't really expecting a D7,I thought about having at least a C6.Even Ms Toh couldn't believe it.I know the problem mainly came from Geography,I know it best.

Math was the shocker of the results,I didn't know I could get a B4,but then again,the paper wasn't so tough.


Sci was expected by me,I thought I would probably have flunked it.



Art was really the project I spent so much time on,it's not freaking fair for me to get a D7,I really thought I could have gotten a C5.I think it was my paper 2 that caused such results.


Chinese was another surprise for me,I thought the second paper was tougher than the first paper I sat for,I was expecting to fail,but I passed.



So now,I get to go poly,but with 4 O level passes,my entire family keep talking about how I did badly for O levels,but who really caused me to fail my humans,THEM!!!!.

I can't even become a relief teacher now,because I need 5 passes.



I no longer know what to do anymore.My ego tells me to go to Poly and excel there,but again,there is this feeling that calls me to go back to pass my humans and improve my other grades.


What should I do?,or rather,What will Seng Ann do?

O levels

has been my one and only enemy over the course last year.Loads of stress and error done in last year,My expectation of mistakes in O's will be minimum.



I will have to keep my composure,I will not allow my nervousness and excitement to get the best of me.I hope to come back and tell you the title of the song of the week.


I hope I'll update you guys with nothing,but good news,but if I were to fail,I would walk out of the school in a blaze of Glory,woo!In a blaze of Glory

Mono-poly

This post really has nothing to do the business based game.I went around the small city of Singapore's polys.......Yeah!!!....Every single one of them.



So I went on to every poly during their open house to take my sweet time to have a good look at every poly in S'pore and figure out every single cons,while their students speak of their pros.



So I'll go by polys and their courses....(Go ahead,roll your eyes,I don't care).

Temasek Poly

Pros
1)Truely,the livest crowd of people there,so if you're looking to join hospitality or Culinary,it's the best you can really go for.

2)It is the only poly in the East area.

3)The school also sees talent in Sports,If you're a sporty person,Go for it.

4)There are shuttle bus provided to the schools every school day from Bedok to TP.

Cons
1)As a proud resident of Choa Chu Kang,I would have to say,it's unfortunately far....Hey,I wouldn't like to wake up at 5am every single morning to rush to catch the first train of the day and not forgetting the lengthy long rides to school,my sis,a TP year 2 student,who joined,because again,best in Culinary.If you live near that area,hey,since it's the only school in East side,take your chance,kiddo.

2)As I can see all their students joining in with the cheering for their own school,Nobody was really there to tell anyone anything about their schools,chances are,you'll be lost in every first day of school.Even though,the best hospitality is there,it's not really there.(You get the point)

Moving on

Singapore Poly

Pros
1)Next to Dover Mrt,which definitely makes it convenient to go to the school.

2)Hey,don't think that the school is all about handing out Goodie bags,Candy floss and popcorns,they are all about serious business,I got a chance to talk to 1 of their lecturers(Not doing cheers[Thank God!!]),he took the time to ask me about my interest in course and such,so I'll believe their school wouldn't have much lousy students,because the Lecturer will know how to settle their problems.

3)Fast food frenzy,loads of FF there.

Cons
1)Again,like TP,the lack of hospitality can lead to student being lost in the first day of school.The lecturers and student would know only know about their own courses and if you tried searching for a course,don't bother asking.Then again,they have so many courses,how would they remember?


Next up,

Ngee Ann Poly


Pros
1)I always call it "the rich school",I say it,because I meant it.It really is one of the richer poly you can find.

2)Mass Comm is definitely the best there and it is time-tested,the inaugural mass comm class was form in NP.

3)Great lecturers like SP.

4)Good Hospitality

Cons
1)Screw the food you eat in red camp,the shuttle buses you took,the loaded goodie bags in the Open House,you really think that the shuttle bus really operates every school day?If you think that way,Let me break it to you.....NOOOOOO!!!They don't have any bus on their school days,so you walk to your school everyday and you'll have to find a way from Clementi.Get it?Got it?GOOD!!

Nanyang poly




1)The school,from it's structure,you could tell,the school appreciates Art,with the NYP Jam and calling in Jack and Rai to perform is a testament to that.Art Student or those interested in that,take notice.

2)Near Y.C.K mrt,just a few minutes walk.Really easy.

3)Passionate Lecturers

Cons
1)Again,like TP,the lengthy rides to school can be oh-so boring,so if you're a reader or sleeper,go for it.

2)It's quite a walk from the gate of the school to (for the lack of a better term), the foyer.


Last,but certainly not least
Republic Poly

Pros

1)A school that recognise sports,so again,similar to TP who really takes sports very seriously.


2)A 5-10 minutes walk from woodlands Mrt station,which is convenient.


3)Great hospitality during the Open House,I expect something similar to that in the school days.Loads of signs and information for people who didn't know about things,so it's good.


Cons
1)I strongly believe I'm not the first to point this out,but the school is definitely not strong in their academic results.So if I want to go Uni,RP won't be a choice of mine.



That's my thought,Agree?Disagree?Gimme your thoughts on my perspective of the polys

Crazy year,I meant Crazier

Well,just a quick update of my life.It have been pretty fast moving as of late.




I have been very dependant on buses,but everytime,I take a look out from the bus window,I felt that I should really do something productive with my life,instead of wasting my life away,as seconds pass.



So I took the initiative to go to Lot 1's library to get some books.I was really looking for famous authors commonly read by teen....

Authors such as Nicholas Sparks


Jodi Picoult


But I couldn't find any of the authors,so at that point,I thought I should go back and read up on My entire Twillight saga.


Before I left,I saw the very original alibi why I began blogging,A very familiar series of Sue Townsend.....Adrian Mole,I first saw it in one of the handouts of my ex school in Sec 3,I instantly fell in love with the works of Sue Townsend.I went to Mrs Tan Siew Heng to ask for the Book,so she borrowed it from Ms Ruby Pan,for me.


I stuck my face on the book everyday.I manage to complete the book,before Ms Ruby asked it back.


I borrowed 4 different series of Adrian moles.Call me Geek or Nerd,Whatever.At least,I'm not wasting my time doing Nothing!

Now,if you'll excuse me,I have books to complete. =)


And oh,O level's result is on the 10/1/2011,I can't wait.
