What's most destestable about a man? EGO!!! So big that sometimes I just feel like squashing them in their face!
How often do we tell children not to be petty but we adults do the same? And childish acts. Can't stand it.
What defines teamwork?
1) I say, you do - that's how our brains and hands work together.
2) I think and you make your views yours - I'm helping you to convey your message.
3) we think and do together
What's your answer?

It's been a year
It's been a year. It seemed like only yesterday that I was chasing the clubs for their Open House plans. After some checking on the booths set-ups and meeting the guests I'm supposed to host, the stop after all the meet-ups and walkarounds suddenly dawned upon me that I've been in NP for more than a year.
A year ago, I started work with all the enthusiasm and apprehensions [I'm still enthusiastic about my work anyway :)]. I plunged in to Open House and started to work with groups that some eventually fell on laps. Stepping onto the Admin Field with the 3 same adventure clubs there, the feeling is simply different. It was more of supervisory role, less talk last year. This year still a little supervisory but it was conversations and teases.
I'm blessed. Truly blessed. The 2 adventure clubs with me underwent all the pressure and uncertainty and this coming Saturday will mark a new chapter, a new name, a new logo, a new purpose. Come next Saturday, a new beginning for another. Have we evolved? I hope so, really. Sometimes, I ask myself if all the efforts are worth it. Students being students will just want their way through. They didn't have much of a choice to change. Their dreams and aspirations and not forgetting new KPIs. Let's pray that the change are for a better and not worse. God, give me the graces to sustain through.
A friend once told me that I should let go more and let the students take charge. Hah!! What is missing between me and the students? Trust? Yeah, not fully but partly... and I'm not alone. After all that has happened the last 2 months, it's proven that this cannot be done when they try and matters into their own hands and think that they are right. Ya, try handle a club with traditions, how arrogant and stubborn those people can be. The last that I would like to hear from the people around me are judgemental statements they pass about my work. If you know what I mean.
It's been non-stop since school started. All's slowing down soon nearing to CNY but not for me. Well, at least a little bit more space to breathe. Sometimes I really wonder why some people can just get off so easily? Maybe I'm just being too nice at work.

2nd blog in 11 days
Time really flies. It felt like only yesterday that we just celebrated Christmas and New Year and now it's already almost mid Jan.
I've only worked for 5 days this week but it seemed so long. Yes, while I'm grumbling on this, I also felt that the time I had these 5 days were not enough for me. HUH?? ok, sounds very contradicting but yes, this is how I feel.
I'm confirmed for EBC trip. Finally got my project code today and things are finally starting to move a little again. I'm going back to Nepal and really looking forward to it though I know it's not all play time for me. Can't wait to get back to some life basics and basking in nature.

A Brand New Start!
First day of 2008, a fresh start, new resolutions.
One of them is to try and keep this blog as updated as I can. It's been so many years and I'm still trying... I thought writing into my mock website was a good start. Then I figured I probably won't be able to maintain it because it takes a lot of effort. Blogspot was more user friendly but a busy year only allowed allowed about 15 posts and so random. I decided to delete them and start anew. I will try my best.
So why the effort to upkeep this blog? Well, I've been too occupied with different things in different times of the year and this might help to communicate all that is happening around me to my different groups of friends.
I hope to post up some inspirational stuffs here more than making it a venthole which in either case would help update you what's going on around me.
Here a toast to a great year ahead!
