Rain of tears...rain...

It has been raining for the past 5 days consecutively. I haven't seen the sun for about 3 days now. Temperatures have dropped to a record low of 22 degrees. The overall mood is inevitably depressing.

I don't claim i'm joyful(and i shouldn't be) but until yesterday, my mood had been perfectly fine. Oh well, i shall elaborate on yesterday later on. Right now, as promise, i will recount the few significant events that had taken place in 2005.

Singapore Youth Festival
April 2005
We worked hard, we sang well and we had great hopes, yet the gold medal slipped out of our hands the moment we took the stage. Untill today, I couldn't understand fully why there was such a drastic change in our performance from that monday to friday. I was blaming it on those who didn't sing out in practices and suddenly wanted to make a special appearance on that day. I had also put the fault on our inexperience with the new conductor. And finally, I had believed that 1 year was not enough a timeframe for Ms Tham to perform miracles. But now, looking back ,i doubt the reason was really any of those mentioned. It was us that was the problem. We didn't commit enough. There were a number of us who did, but that was not enough. We need to work as a choir and we didn't. The whole choir was not in it together, hence the results. But still, this year everything might change and there are already a lot of improvements seen. I continue to believe that the gold medal or even gold with honors is definitely ours in the near future.
The first inagural session of The Hague Model United Nations-Singapore 2005
This is one of the best thing that has happened in my life. yeah, its not even this year but my life really. THIMUN-sg introduced me to a whole new world of MUN that i never knew.I can't thank Mrs Ow enough for putting herself through all the troubles to organise this for us. I will never forget all the things that had happened during the conference for years to come. I won't forget the people, the debate, the things ive learnt and the crap that we did in the committee sessions. Everything is also memorable and i'll bring with me these memories to wherever i'll be next year. Well, THIMUN-sg will be unforgettbale for one more reason. Ive met him here. He has shown me how leadership should be and how a leader should be. He has captured my heart too...
Bordeaux-France exchange programme 2005
(la famille de vingt-sept)
This is the best thing that had happened this year, of the best things tha had happened in my life and definitely the best overseas trip, the best 25 days of my life. I had never had so much fun, seen so many beautiful sights and met so many wonderful people before. I love french, french food, bordeaux, my host family and everyone in france that ive met. I will never forget those times we spent together. Those excursions, those meals and lunchs together. I will never forget you guys either la famille de 27!If time passes by and i somehow lost the memory of those time we spent, i'll still remember each and everyone of you.France was so beautiful, so wonderful that words are not enough to describe how majestic it was. I could only say that for those who went to france only for a few days and saw only the eiffel tower, you have seen nothing. If people are goung to be prejudiced agains the french and say that they are racists, i will be the unofficial advocate. They are nothing like that.the hospitality i have received is incredible and i will never never forget how well i was treated. Thank you everyone, thank you french and french government who paid for our trip.I'll definitely return someday and make sure your money and effort put in me not gone to waste :)
Thats it really. I couldnt give a more detailed account due to time constraint but i have at least say what i want to say and i'm satisfied. It could have been a bit more about what i see but time just doesnt allow me to do that and also, there were too many things..For now, I'll officially say GOOD BYE 2005, WELCOME 2006!

Rain

It seems i post earlier than i thought i would.I'm just bored I guess.I'm not supposed to be, because there is a pile of geo homework waiting to be done but then, i can do that at night.

It has been raining the whole day, practically since morning till now. The monsoon wind seems to arrive in Singapore with plenty of moisture huh...I'm quite enthusiastic about geo right now.I have no idea why.But i guess one main reason was i learnt it in the class room and i can see it for myself and understand why the weather is so and so, so it just fascinates me. The fact that i could tolerate 3 hours straight of geo lecture speaks volume of how much i like the subject.

Sighz..the rain reminds me of him. Everything reminds me of him.I just wish that God will help me to forget him and end this torment of my soul. I've been crying day and night and i just wish i could stop doing that. I feel so pathetic really. He doesn't even know my name i suppose, much less who i am and here i am crying my eyes out for him. It sounds so crazy, ridiculous and foolish. But then, aren't we all fools in love?

THE PROMUGGER IS BACK

After 6 months of silence, promugger.blogspot.com is finally back in operation. I have no idea why i decided to stop blogging in april last year but if i were to convince myself, the general reason was that i was busy/lazy and ran out of motivation for blogging.

Nevertheless, the motivation is back, and for a good reason. I know many people would think i'm crazy to restart my blog at this point in time(the inevitable sec 4 year) but i do not think blogging will hinder me from achieving academic goals. In contrast, it might just help to further improve my english writing skills.

Last year, this blog was sprinkled with analysis, articles and comments on certian topics, written in rather formal tone.I would like to continue doing this and to take it to the next step, articles written will be UN-agenda oriented to help myself in the upcoming SPIMUN conference. Of course, besides these article, there would definitely be the common laments and recounts of the daily events.

2005 has been very memorable for me, if not the most memorable. Many events had taken placed to shape and change my thinking and ways of life. I will do a full recount of these events probably some time next week(most definitely on tuesday). In the meantime, this will be the first post of 2006, commemorating the reopening of promugger.blogspot.com!
