BRANDON

Woohoooo, after I left my FT job, everything seems to get better!

hell, I still think about whether not being a regular in SPF was a good choice.

Nevermind about that, life is good without commitments!

Attended 2 camps as instructor, pay wasn't fantastic but experience was fantastic.

Started to club, and I'm loving it!

Just had my blackberry IService running, so add me at 213B787E for bbm :)

Late nights these days, its good good good :D

Karate Kids with Zubair, Melissa, SeanTeo, Zain and Branda, awesomezz.

Enlisting November 9, 1345 BMTC School 4, a long way till then!

Hmm okay lets plan for some travelling now!

Mountain climbing = high risk.
Sin-Lon is expensive.

Sin-Bkk by train? Sounds a-w-e-s-o-m-e!

Steal from Branda -



Only if you could understand we care because we truly care.

Do you want us to stay, or should we disappear?

O levels was like the toughest shit around, everyone mugging together in school, KFCs, Macdonalds, Long John Silvers, Food courts, chionging the 10-year and 5-year series. I was glad it was over and done with, and soon I graduated happily from the formally Best School in Punggol, the only secondary school - Punggol Secondary School.





It starts from my first visit to TP, and I fell in love with it.




Was it the uniqueness of the building? The location of TP? The friendliness of staff and student who was there during my JAE counselling? Or maybe a bit of everything?

After the failed visit to SP, the Bo-chap guy at their JAE booth with zero knowledge on what I wanted to know, TP seemed to be just right, and damn right, T15 Cyber and Digital Security was on top of my list. I had a 9 points L1B4 after deducting my cca points, I could go to a JC but I know I will fail my general paper and mother tongue, that fear was enough to make me forgo all university plans and just look for a short term target easy to settle with. Ha, soon after, i enrolled into TP!

Inside the enrollment package, I saw this piece of paper by the Students' Union. It was written by the president, Kimberly Chew, selling the Freshmen Orientation Workshop and Camp. It looks good, so I Invited my secondary school mates to go, but only Mabel, Xue Yuen, Yu Fei and I went for it. How lucky Mabel, Yu Fei and I were in Scythia, and though different sub empires, we had our fun and we made our friends. The greatness of my GLs, Ling Wei, Ling Yu, Bao, Ali, Daniel, Maybelle, and a lot more were there all 3 days of my workshop cheering and being mad. Our HGL Farhan J was so charismatic and I could remember the debrief he had with us and it's details. Meeting Sean Teo, Eugene, Jesselyn, KC, Zhao Lin, Hong Ling, Lynn, and the many more Scythia Freshies that made my start of TP life an extraordinary one. And who knows, this is only the start of it.



I even had to do a forfeit, the programme cheer!



I feel in love too! (that was the past okay)


My favourite GL!




Classes were all great, easy peasy and managable, semester 1.1 was so well spent and enjoyed, I even text my secondary school favourite teacher Ms Farah and report my grades and I could remember her saying that she is proud of me.


Lunch opposite school with classmates

Visiting the Students' Lounge was a great thing too. Although sometimes my classmates want to go have KFC opposite school, but surprisingly and willingly I rejected my classmates and head to lounge. We spent our time happily doing duty, chit chatting, meeting new people and admiring the Excos like Glenn, Yuting, John, Maybelin, Kimberly, and meeting fellow funny sub-comms like Shep, Ben Chow, Gideon, Jessy Bessy were all fond memories I can still remember.


Also those mascot days with Serene, Kahyuen, Kelly, Kaiwen and the rest, were a-w-e-s-o-m-e too.


Mascot Duty!


Our performance! And Shep's voice is damn obvious.


Our big day!

As soon as it passed, SU were getting ready for the next FOWFOC. GL Programme Foodmin Log, without them the camp goes wrong. Went for a GL interview but was transferred to be a programmer instead. All others were as GL, but I never regretted my choice. Elene, Yvonne and Xiuhui, my programme heads were always there to encourage and support me. I knew I wasn't a A standard programmer, I know they know it too. They chose me as a Welfare IC, and I know I didn't aced it too. But I'm very glad they were always there to listen to me, and there to help me along the way. I'm sorry Elene that I ever had the thought of not going FO, it wasn't because I really wanted to go Nepal, but I was really scared to go to FO because I know I wasnt good enough.

Fortunately I went FO with a different mindset, a different goal and I'm glad I was able to finish it with a bang. We may not be the best programme committee, we may be shadowed by the previous one, but we put in the effort we all needed to, and we did it well together. Since then i told myself I shouldn't let the following batch of programmers face the things that I did. I must make it better.



I was a programmer. It was Day 2 FOW, I was really scared!


Day 2 FOC, I think I got better! :)



The super little numbers of programmers, but we did it

SU brought me very good days as a Freshie, and it was time I thought I could give in my time for SU and provide what I received to others. Election time! I remember Elene and Xiuhui kept asking me why, why do I want to run for elections. I'm glad they did ask me that, because everytime when I felt like giving up, I reflected upon my own decisions and reasons.


Vote for me! Did you?

Yes yes, I got elected. I was still afraid that I will not be, but who knows, who ever knows this guy with the straw hat could actually be the President of TPSU? Hundreds of students placed their hopes on me to make the school a even better place to be in. This was then the largest amount of people who supported me (or, simply just because this boy looks quite cute :(. )

Nevertheless, I knew I put in my utmost efforts, and I did what I could for SU.


More on my EXCO year, the good and the bad, coming up next!!


13 of us in the lift! The fun!


Some of the sufferings includes this


TPSU AY 08/09
