For the whole of this entire week and next week, my team will be focusing on our Hospitality Sales Project and we will definitely be working very hard so that we can score well for this project. Even though my team has a disadvantage as we were given one week lesser than other teams to complete our project, I fully believe that this is an opportunity to prove to others that my team is the best and that we will definitely outshine the rest of the teams. I believe that God will guide my team through this whole duration. Next week's project presentation will be a success!
Asia Conference is coming up and I'm very excited about it. In fact, I am so looking forward to it. Sadly, my school schedule clashes with the conference electives which I have chosen and I will only be able to attend those which are held on Thursday. But oh wells, I will be going to Church next week from Wednesday t
o Sunday and nothing beats being in Church where God is!
And here is a photo of the Asia Conference Keychain which my darls bought for me. I really really like it alot! Thanks darls! I love you! *Huggs & Kisses*
Alrights, till then people!
An Enjoyable Weekend @ Desaru

I just came back recently from a trip to Desaru. The place is pretty beautiful and nostalgic but many do not know where this place is. Well, it is situated in Johor itself. To go there, you can either take the coach (bus) or the ferry. We (Cindy, her parents & I) took the ferry to go there.
There were many things that we did there as the itinery was pretty packed. We went to the Desaru Fruit Farm (as advertised and shown on Channel U) and there, we ate alot of fruits and had our buffet breakfast, lunch and BBQ dinner. The fruits we ate include dragonfruit, mango, papaya, watermelon, buah-long-long, banana, rambutan, jackfruit, pineapple, guava, jambu, and a whole lot more. At the fruit farm, we were given a tour of the place to learn about the fruits they grow and even got a chance to feed some animals at their mini zoo. Not only that, we were given an educational talk on bee handling and the medicinal benefits of bee products.
The resort we stayed at was the Pulai Desaru Beach Resort. The place is pretty much like the chalets we have here in Singapore. Our room is a duplex with the bedroom on the 2nd storey and the living room on the 1st. I must say, the resort could have been more improved upon. Having took up a Diploma in Hotel Management, I feel that the resort lack security features for its guests, and its level of service provided to guests is very basic.
Well, i supposed the highlights of the tour were the fireflies and crocodiles. For the fireflies visit, I was not able to capture any shot as it was quite dark. But well, we sat on this huge boat, able to accomodate up to 80 people, and set sail for the river banks where there were alot of forests and trees. Along the river banks, we saw that the trees shone like Christmas Trees with Lights and knew that it was the fireflies. There were many of them and it was quite an amazing sight. As for the crocodile farm, they had so many crocodiles around that it gets pretty boring after a while. What was interesting for me was that Cindy and I got the chance to carry a baby crocodile and even took a photo with it.
And, besides this, we had much fun during this trip and even won ourselves prizes for taking part in competitions. All in all, this trip was indeed a
FRUITFUL and enjoyable one.
Well, now that I'm back in Singapore, I do have a lot of things to do. Project deadlines are nearing and we are all tryin get our projects done in time. The killer project would be the Hospitality Sales. It would be useful and helpful if he could actually go through the project brief thoroughly with us and explain the details. But wells, then again
he didn't even want to go through the progress test with us.
Cindy's in Pulau Ubin right now for OBS Camp and will be back only this Friday. Lonely, I am so lonely, I have nobody... on my own!! Alright, till the next time i blog then!
ps. Those who wanna take a look at the photos we took for our Desaru trip, kindly go to facebook and look it up under my profile. =)
Patience is Indeed A Virtue

Nowadays, people have been asking me questions and then answering their own questions themselves. I mean, if they already think that they know the answer, then there's no need to ask right? And even if they ask just because they want to confirm that their answers are right, then be courteous enough to admit any mistake if my answer is the right one.
I do get agitated sometimes over this issue. Perhaps I really need to develop more patience and be more gentle. Today, I shall post up 3 steps to finding an answer to a question.
Step 1. Know & Understand the Question
For e.g. Is a Powerpoint Presentation required for the Property Maintenance Module Project?
Step 2. Figure Out the Possible Answers to the Question
In this case, the possible answers are very straightforward. It is 50-50 chance that you either get the answer right or the answer wrong. So, its either a YES or a NO.
Step 3. Source for All Possible Leads to the Correct Answer
Here, you can do the following:
A. You can ask a friend
B. You can ask a teacher
C. You can figure it out yourself
If you ask a friend, you can choose to follow his/her answer or disagree with him/her. Ultimately, the answer will still be a 50-50.
Should you try to figure it yourself, then follow what your heart tells you. Again, the answer will still be a 50-50.
But if you ask a teacher, the answer is definitely 100% correct. Hence, the solution to the problem is to find out the answer from the one who gave the problem.
I don't proclaim myself to be an expert in everything that I do. Hence, the reason why I am still learning even till this day. Given a problem, I will usually figure out the answer myself (with faith), discuss the answer with my friends (process of edifying/rebuking) and then confirm with the person who gave the problem (revelation).
Note: All problems can be solved. There are no problems that can't be solved. Every problems comes with solutions. Hence, problems and solutions are inseparable.
Hope this little post have inspired everyone who still visits my blog. =)

Hi Everyone! Firstly, i apologise for not blogging as i have been rather caught up with my school work and also other commitments. Nonetheless, as you can see, i have just changed my blogskin to something fresh!
Oh wells, hopefully this will give me a sense of motivation to continue blogging.
For the rest of the remaining year, my schedule is quite packed already and i hope to end this year strong! Some highlights for me would include my exams, an 8-days holiday trip to Beijing with my family, a 2-days getaway trip with Cindy's family to Desaru, Asia Conference 2008 and so much more.
Of course i will try to put up some pictures on my blog and update everyone with snippets of my life.
My transcript for my previous term should be out anytime soon, so pray for me people! Hahas. I really do hope my GPA would increase slightly and not decrease.
There are also so many things I really want to do for the cellgroup and connect group but somehow, I just don't know where to start either. In addition, I am still pondering how else I can take up a sponsored drumming course.
Sound advise anyone? Hmms... 0.0?
o Sunday and nothing beats being in Church where God is!
