common.voices is one years old loh!!!
had chalet with the cv kias at east coast over the weekend, to celebrate us turning one yrs old. Been a long time since CV has an opportunity to have time for a gathering and bonding exercise. Really glad that almost everyone turned up for the chalet even thou not for the entire 3 days of the chalet, but all, cept for joyce who has to mug for her common test, turned up either for dinner or the bbq.
Had BBQ on the first night, pretty quiet affair as most came pretty late due to their work and NS commitments. In fact initially only chilli zhengjie sok and I were BBQ-ing. Song, YiEn, Becca, Qiujie, Yingting and Fush came later. After the BBQ, we went night cycling, and it was really fun thou tiring. Think we had cycled for 40+ km, from ECP to Geylang then to Esplanade and then back to ECP. The sore hands and butt are worth it for the fun.
Spent the next day indoors, playing games and sleeping. Had a mini review session with the choir as well. Hopefully the feedback gathered can make the practices more enjoyable and enriching. The highlight of the chalet will be the anniversary dinner on the 2nd night. Kudos to song and shujun for their recce as they found this wonderful place at ECP. We had our dinner at Pasta Fresca ECP. Really like that place alot. Its open and by the seaside concept, the music and of course the ambience are all great. Thou the service wasnt great, guess the setting more or less make up for it. Really had a good time.
Looking back, the past year has been a eventful year for CV. The initial teething stages were tough, then came our first performance at CSS Gala Dinner, and of cos our first ever public concert. With us joining the CSS Alumni this year, it marked another new chapter in our story. There have been many ups n downs, but we somehow make it thru every one of them. Volume One of Common.Voices is done. Let's work towards Vol. 2...10...20...

lousy day....
first i overslept and woke up late for soccer in school. Lawson's call woke me up and i tot everybody was already at the court. Rushed down in a cab as I'm the one who was tasked with bringing the ball. Only to realised that only a few had arrived upon reaching school. Wasted my money on a cab....-_-"
Then got injured during the soccer...Sik Juan accidentally elbowed my ribs while fighting for the ball. Wasn't a strong knock but it sure hurts. In fact it got worse as the game went on. Couldn't run or even walk w/o feeling the pain. Crap, think it is a recurrence of my prev rib injury. Tot i recovered fully, well guess i have not..haix...fed up
I just hate it when I got injured. Been v unlucky in the game recently, first was the ankle injury which kept me out for 2 mths, then it was the rib injury which kept me out for 1 mth, now i hurt my ribs again...urgh...fustrated man..i not that gung ho anymore, in fact i been trying to protect myself liao..yet i still got injured...haiz..worse still i feel bad when my parents have to fork out money for my treatment. Today's "elbow" cost me 63 bucks just for the medicine n plasters...how i wish i can pay on my own..but i can't..i am financially strained esp for this mth when i have no income...and after paying 300+ for my dental....broke n hurt....what a holiday....
i just wanna play football....

june has been a pretty hectic month...been quite some since i has the time n mood to blog...shall do a recap on what i have been doing bah...
firstly let's talk about my DIP project, the last two weeks were pretty fun. First of all, gotta know the rest betta and the mood in the lab become more lively n fun. Secondly, we managed to get started on our project, and when there is finally work to do, guess everybody become more active and enthu..well, in the end we came in third in the overall competition..Can't really say we deserved it..dun think ours is really v good cos we din come up with the final prototype. But at least our concept was pretty good...guess tt clinched us the top 3 placing..n not forgetting our presenter, Apan. He was outstanding..composed and strong..haha..and he is so composed tt he even rebuked the judges till they dun dare to ask, with the best answer being the following
Judges: So..why did ur group come up with any final prototype?
Apan: Because Sir, since this competition is called the "Design and Innovation Project", my group sees no need in the impletation and decided focusing coming with innovative concept n design instead
what else can i say..Zai!~
Overall i guessed i had a better than expected time in my DIP lab..the ppl in there are all v frenly and not selfish or aloof...most impt they are all pretty fun ppl too..even those foreigners...Not forgetting the time we spent playing warcraft in the lab..haha..
After the DIP..finally have some time to concentrate on Common Voices. Just returned from the Alumni Chalet and i'm glad everything went on smoothly and happy to see the CV kias actively participated in the BBQ session. CV is coming to its first year in 2 weeks' time, and come to think about it. i already been its president for nearly half a yr liao. Looking back on the past 4-5 mths, I'm not sure whether i have bring the choir forward. During the past 5 mths, the choir has been experiencing a lull period, as well as a period of ups n downs. Have we grow stronger and have we come to a standstill? I'm not sure too. I know I'm not the best leader around, but I hope I have done enough to keep CV moving forward. I really want to see CV stay together and have our 10th, 20th and many birthday celebrations..It's not going to be easy, but i really wanna see it going on n on...
