Show-ups

A few months back, I remember saying I dun believe in 2nd chance... now to tink of it... I do practise tat...

Standing back and lookin at it, it looks good but the whole feel is somehow juz off... I dono why.. I hope I'm wrong

Labour Economics

I had my labour economics lecture yesterday. Economics never fail to get me thinking... Just to add some spice into the lecture, it was made known to us tat the top 2 CEOs in America earns something like:

US$796.7 and US$714.6 million per annum.. WOW!

And it was pointed out to us in the reality of the labour market, everyone is out to win at all costs, be it sabotaging people or wadeverz.. how sad.. and theories of deferred payment scheme showed me how firms 'cheat' in a way when they pay you as yr yrs of service (seniority) goes up...

No wonder, Thomas Carlyle coined economics as the 'dismal' science...

Lash

I pretty much juz got home and showered and yes it is almost 5 am!

Went Lash to chill with Chong, Rayner and Di.. of which Fen joined us at about 11pm.

Been a long long time since I've been out so late and my legs are really aching and as usual Xiaofen cannot find her way back... we had to send her back despite conflicting route interests due to her 'sotong-ness'... and oh at like almost 4 am, we went for car wash.. how exciting!

Realised everyone is blogging abt Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei... so I shall add a little here...

Indeed Zhuge was a brilliant strategist and governor and Liu Bei was fortunate to have the 5 tiger generals. War front intelligence, Zhuge, capabilities to engage in battles, the 5 generals and back home, he had strong administrators and diplomats like Yi Ji, Deng Zhi and later on, Fei Wei and Jiang Wei. But still the kingdom of Shu faced early demise soon after the death of Zhuge Liang and the reason is clear:

There was no strong nor good successor! There were ppl to take over but not ppl of strong leadership calibre. The strength of a country or any organisation for that matter does not lie only in its present capabilities but in its ability to have a strong continuity. The work of a generation does not end in its retirement...

Strong and good continuity is the key simply because NOTHING good can be built overnight! It is a long tedious process of building on... even when God created the world, he took a week! Wad more mere mortals?

Philia Love

Sometimes even though we love someone as our own. Not of Eros (erotic) love but of Philia, a love between frens... Yes, as much as we love each other, but sometimes u juz know tat the other is not ready to do certain things or to undertake certain duties...

Tat pains the heart of one and the pride of the other... But no it does not stop there... It hurts even more when the person tinks badly of u for tat.. How sad..

And I realised that when bad things happen.. everyone rushes to blog abt it but when good news arrive, it's kept under wraps... tat's the fact of the matter

Anyway I spent the entire night playing Bridge with Jingyi, Jack, Hock, Bit, Ridz and Diana...

I tell u the 'best' player is ___ ____ Bit! Not nice to mention names, so I leave blanks! WAHahahahaha! :) *hugz* bit

My tots are juz everywhere. I was juz tinking where can u find the HOTTEST girls? I tink the answer is clear.... the 26th...

So where can u find the hottest guy then? Punggol 108!

P.S. the statement right at the top is generic..

Cheers!

Bang bang POUND!

Ever wondered sexual intercourse is also termed 'screwing'? Simply because screwing as in screwdriver is progressive while verbs like banging and hammering is a one shot thing... yes, it prolly will kill!

Anyway, I have been banging my key board, pounding very hard at it in a bid to finish up my family essay. It is almost 5 am now... gosh, that is like more than 12 hours of non-stop pounding.. and WALA! I have had my satisfactions from the pounding! Juz left a tiny part of the conclusions which I need the book (will loan it from library 1st thing in the morning) and tat's it .. no more essay till exams...

"Well, Bobz... you can then take a break after your submission"

HELL NO! I got a bloody test on tuesday... ku ming yi ge ren...

As of now, I am tired of the banging and pounding ... physically demanding exercise... I shall now retire to the clubrm sofa... Somehow I tink writing essays is like having sex... Shagged out!

Till then!
Banging off...

Impression?

Seriously, I am not impressed by you ... No, not saying u r incapable but I am juz not impressed...

Maybe I dun get impressed easily?

Anyway, Futsal ROCKS!

And once again, I muz thank Jasmine who was by no means to do marketing and bring in prizes for us.

Grace, for all her logistical abilities without which we will all be burning in the sun and having no balls to play with...

And of coz, my dearest Liasion Officers, JJ, JY, Layz, OPH, Carol, Rayner, Jing Heng, Bit and my Liasion Queen, Shuning!

Luv u guys!

SIanz! Back to essaying!

Futsal Email

Juz checked the Futsal email, there are still teams coming in and I feel kinda sad having to reject them... what to do...

In the short run, one factor of production is fixed! In our case, the 'land' factor is fixed. As such, we only have tat amount of playtime or 'ownership' of the land for our futsal game.

But then, this reflects well on my dearest PR executives, Charz and Swi and of coz yours truly!

I m sure there's going to be some backlash on this but heck... I dun care!

Charz and Swi... u ROCK!

hahaha!

Why? I dono..

4 am, juz 2 hours and 15 minutes b4 we set off for THE CAGE at Kallang for Futsal Open. Aint any good sportsman but organising sporting events still seem fine ..

Juz got back from logisitcal works and supper, extremely tired and shagged and in the midst of preparing the admin doc for tml. This is a project that I am truly excited about! EVen thinking about the schedule is exciting. I mean, we have got only 10 hours and there are 45 teams playing. Round-robins league system and knock-out.

45 is something tat far exceeded what was asked of my PR team and myself initially. 12 was the target given to me and now to think of it, yea, tat's relatively small. Futsal made me realised the truth behing Pastor's words, that is our potential is like a frame. We frame our potential and our limits. If I had faced the task of getting teams in with a framed mindset of only 12 teams, then indeed, we are only going to have 12. Even if we exceed marginally, tat's only because of fluke.

Then pple may ask, how is it that during Bash 1, there was not tat many turn-ups. I realised that at that point in time, I was still in my own ways struggling with some barriers of the mind and heart... questioning the reason behind my stepping up into the management comm. At tat point in time, my mind was framed, a small frame. We did make some profits but like I said, it aint really much to credit.

Was talking to Layz tat day in our usual chats... I began to wonder, why did I first run for 26th Management Comm? JJ, Layz and JY had each other as frenz to run together. I juz got acquainted to them at tat point in time. Hock, Rayner: I was juz beginning my frenship with them. The rest, needless to say, even less close. Given all these, why then did I still run? I dono... seriously...

In the beginning, things were really hard for me. Not tat it is any easier now. Circumstances do not change but at least I am adapting. Sometimes I'd to make unpopular decisions and I wonder why do I do that? For the interests of the club? But what exactly is this 'interest' of the club? It aint anything really tangible. Those tat I come down hard on are frenz, there's an affinity, a bond. So why then?

I dunno... I had to bite my lips sometimes as I made those decisions and it does pain me to see those decisions implemented. Yet, I would not allow myself to relent even though deep inside me, I softened up. So why then? I duono...

I had a labour economics test today. I know I did well but the kind of joy is not the same as I did when I was year 1. Has academic acheivements lost its status in my heart? I duno..

I have an essay due on Monday, another test on Tuesday, finances to settle. If I was the Bobby more than a year ago, what would I have done?

Hock told me tat day that I've changed to someone who dares to confront someone if I feel that what he/she is doing is wrong esp. in the arena of MC work. Previously, I will juz give a black face and dun say anything... Why the change? I dono...

I detested Hock (maybe not detest but dislike) when I was a freshie, the impression got better with FOP and then it got worse when I first stepped up but now I love him... why? I duno...

Even now as I look at my comm, I love them lots... lots... even though at times I am quite nasty about finances but I am nvr against them coz I really feel part of an entity...

Excite!
