one whole chunk from 3 questions. and some do have some truth
| Your Personality Is |
You are a passionate, caring, and unique person. You are good at expressing yourself and sharing your ideals. You are the most compassionate of all types and connect with others easily. Your heart tends to rule you. You can't make decisions without considering feelings. You seek out other empathetic people to befriend. Truth and authenticity matters in your friendships. In love, you give everything you have to relationships. You fall in love easily. At work, you crave personal expression and meaning in your career. With others, you communicate well. You can spend all night talking with someone. As far as your looks go, you've likely taken the time to develop your own personal style. On weekends, you like to be with others. Charity work is also a favorite pastime of yours. |

i cut my hair and this hairdress ALWAYS cuts more than i ask her to. so 8cm chopped off :( hahah, i gre to that length in half a yr k...so now i've to wait another half a yr to get it that long. but ah well, i usu am not sad abt cutting hair cos it will grow back anyway. ok, the pt is, when i was there, i thought of my 5th weird thing (if you dunno wat i'm toking abt, go back 3, 4 entries)
5th weird thing: whenever i go to the haridresser's, there will be this sudden muscle constriction on my right back. like my kidney area. ahha. it's as if my hair fears being manhandled by hairdressers or sth. then i will jerk. i used to think maybe cos i was just a kid and scared of strangers of sth, but it still happens. and i will never know why that happens. hmm..weird huh.

this is something i will be doing post A's, so you're welcome to join with me if you're interested! it's basically an extension of interact in schools and a junior version of the rotary, thus the name rotaract!
The Rotaract Club of Singapore CIty was officially installed on 28th May 2006 by our Guest-of-Honour Rtn. Zahidi Rahman (the incoming Chairperson of the SNG Committee). We are currently 30 members strong with about 10 more choosing to be 'Friends of Rotaract' owing to their other commitments. Our target membership is 60 official Rotaractors and your participation is crucial if we are to meet our target.
Here're the answers to some FAQ you might find useful!
"why join the rotaract club?
it's an avenue to do community service and a platform for ppl interested in community service but do not know how to go about it. infrastructure, funding, organisation is ALL IN PLACE. all you have to do is sign up and turn up. very easy :) also since it's 'service through fellowship' there's got to be some fun involved. if it's all work everyone will burn out and it's also about getting to know like-minded individuals so there is the area of self-development that rotaract hopes to pursue. professional development involves organising courses for the rotaractors like etiquette class, interview skills, personal grooming, tea session with various professionals as a form of career guidance, cooking class for rotaractors about to go abroad to study etc. many many plans in the pipelines, just waiting to see indication of interests.
what rotaract does
the rotaract club of singapore city has chosen to adopt the assisi home and hospice at thomson road. assisi is a hospice for terminally-ill cancer patients and rotaractors will be 1) volunteering in the wards on saturdays 2) helping raise funds for the home 3) organising mini-projects for the patients' benefit. the point of adopting a charity rather than concentrating solely on adhoc projects for various charities is that it allows for continuity and when you work closely with an organisation, you are better able to meet its needs. besides monetary contributions, assisi also needs volunteers' time because the nurses are already working round the clock and patients need more than medical care. assis currently has a 'teddy bank' project going on where donors buy a $10 green teddy bank designed by one of the child patients. rotaractors can help sell the bears to family and friends to raise funds. the mini-projects vary on a monthly basis. can be anything from just turning up in full-force and spending 1:1 time with the patients for an hour one evening to caroling in the wards at christmas. i've also volunteered our services to other volunteer organisations as manpower so they'll call us if they need help running their projects.
a little bit about me (lest you think it's some fly-by-night club :P)
i'm a j3 waiting to read law at NUS, starting august. will continue with my Rotaract commitments for the rest of the Rotaract year though! i was chairperson of the rjc interact club in j2 and that's how i know the rotarian advisor who asked me to take-over the rotaract club of singapore city (it's a 40yr old club but the previous leadership has been stagnant for 2yrs and they got kicked out and replaced :() personally volunteered with assisi since i was 15, helping out in the fundraising sector before moving over to the wards this yr (you need to be 18 before you can volunteer in the wards). i am also volunteering at the MINDS employment centre at margaret drive where intellectually disabled (ID) adults are employed to clean SIA headphones / do simple arts and crafts and give tuition to underprivileged children at the children's society student care centre in bukit merah."
Hope this give you a better idea about Rotaract. Again, could I please trouble you to forward this to your members and do ask them to email me if they're interested in joining Rotaract upon graduation from Interact.
Thank you!

Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with 6 weird facts/things/habits about yourself, saying who tagged you. In the end you need to choose the 5 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs.
1) habit: im a coffee addict. big time. trying to substitute it with tehpeng. if i dun get my daily fix, i will feel really terrible at like 9am in the morning.
2) habit: if i want to get something in a day. i MUST plan. or i will probably end up whiling all the time away. that doesnt mean i will stick to it closely ahha. but at least its a guide of what i needa complete.
3) thing: i think my family is pretty dysfunctional. on the whole its jus like a normal family but when certain issues arise, can start to see the cracks. and my extended family too. i never know how it feels to play / grow up with my cousins (the other half of the cousins are in msia and small)
4) thing: i have tons of secrets or things that i hide away haha
5) i will add on when i think of one.
ok, i dunno who has interesting things to say but JANICE haha. and i will help her full in one of the 5 items!! Janice has hmm..some weird fetish/interests. haha.

i was watching a documentary on discovery called "End Day". it depicted 4 different scenarios that scientists predict the world will end in 1) a mega tsunami 2) a meteor hits earth 3) a flu pandemic 4) a particulate accelerator experiment that might create a black hole effect.
well, the first 3 are supposed to be "the qn is not whether it will happen, but simply when" while the last is just imagination and sci-fi stuff. i didnt like how the tsunami one only depicted the effects on US East Coast. too small a scale to be "doomsday". hahha, if sth is a doomsday, it should affect the whole world. like the earth exploding frm its core or sth. i thot 2 was what i would believe most in ( did u noe that tiny meteorites hit the earth all the time but they get burnt out while penetrating the atmosphere and thus becomes the dust that settles on your table?) and 3 is the most relevant to current situations. i dunno abt you, but if i know doomsday was coming and i prob wun be able to escape, i will just wait for my death, i wun attempt to run or hide or anth, because its not gonna be very nice being one of the survivors and seeing the bleak world arnd u huh? i guess u'd rather be dead then too.
i kinda like sci-fi hahah, and the simulations and CGI in the docu was good! haha, anyway, it just shows how unpredictable nature is huh? the tsunami one had this scientist saying that such an event had occurred throughout geological time (its supposed to happen because this volcanic island erupted and split into half, and the impact will cause giant waves), and is not gonna stop just because we exist on earth. so true. and makes us feel so very small huh. speaking of nature, i think she has been extremely unkind to Indonesia! Earthquake, tsunami, volcano, earthquake again. leave indon alone for now, there's too much tragedy there!

went for the True Hearts cip farewell. and one of the mentees gave me this balloon :) well, i spent a very short time there but it was a pretty nice feeling knowing how they appreciate my presence. it's tuition for normal tech students and to us it's a very different kind of scenario. they are sec 3 and still learning simult. eqns. to us its lik second instincts rite, but i gues i've come to apprec that my surroundings and my friends are only a very small part of the world we live in, and that there are lots of people out there with lifestyles/environments vastly different from ours and it would be extremely narrow minded to only concentrate and dwell on our own little bubble.finally the holidays are here. im happy because NO MORE 6AM MORNINGS!!!!!!!! (plus my mum is getting more lenient abt my wake up time ahha) that's the best of the hols. and to look on the bright side, i finally have time to sit down and study proper (provided if im well discplined and can sit still and wait for the info to enter my brain thru osmosis). but duh, who likes studying!

we watched a very depressing video during physical geog today. basically, it talked about this 2 climatic phenomena - global warming and global dimming (this caused the ethiopian famine), and how pollution is the main culprit behind them. despite the decrease in pollution in certain countries, the inability for us to remove CO2 in the air (which comes from burning coal etc for energy) will worsen global warming. and it's jus a vicious cycle- the world will become hotter and hotter, the ice caps melt, plants cant grow, ppl die of famine, etc etc. you must watch the video yourself (which is very nicely filled with horror movie- worthy music) and you will come out depressed. btw, the effects will hit in by 30-4o yrs, so don't think it doesnt affect you. recycle and save electricity!
