Dear Loved ones…
How are all of you?
Recently been getting requests to update the blog. It’s also been awhile since I did that, or any of my clique members did it. Never thought this blog will be in demand. If we have a counter, we could have 10k hits per day!
So guys, please also update this blog again!
Anyway, as many of you know, my whole summer holiday I have been working at YMCA as an intern. Many of you asked, y did I do choose this internship? Pay low, work not useful to you in the future. Y?
Let me give you the reasons…
1. The main reason was that this summer, I wanted an overseas internship or a slack one. So as I did not get the former, I chose the latter.
2. It is also because my previous internship was really stressful; I wanted a different kind of internship.
3. As my main event that I am doing in YMCA is with regards to entrepreneurship and I always wanted to do my own business, I really hope to have new insights into this part of the world.
4. I also wanted to do some community service in overall. As many of you knew, the Talen of the past, I was so not community active. Thus, I felt it is time that I give back to the society.
Eventually, I have been working at YMCA since 23 April 2007 and I really think I have change a lot.
In the past, I am a slacker. A true slacker. I was inactive in CCA, community service and my life is just slack and studies and sometimes… girls….
But now, I really feel I have change some ways or another. For the better, for the worst, it is up to u to see it and reflect back to me.
Firstly, I feel I have change my perspective on Christianity. After my breakup, I really have a bad view about Christianity. But right now, I just believe in it, just as I believe in Buddhism, Taoism and Catholic. Right now, I actually have this theory. Maybe there is really just this 1 god, who came down in different forms to pass down the right messages to people. Eventually, like what some of my colleagues said, it is not god who is wrong, is the people who misinterpreted their words make it so wrong.
Secondly, I feel I have become more active. You know I actually sort of become a volunteer leader here at YMCA. (Dun shakes yr head now)!!! I joined a committee for one of their events. I also have a CCA (Uni-Y). And I even join their activities, like Y camp, Y nature walk. Life seems meaningful again despite being busy at times. Right now, I truly understand people who have the urge to help the world, how they feel.
Thirdly, I have also believed in love again. Let me summaries, I never believe I could fall in love again. And I did. Even when this relationship did not turn out what I wanted, I am just as happy we are friends now.
Fourthly, I have also met a lot of great people who have passed me great wisdom. The main events will be my colleagues and people from the Y Camp. You all taught me a lot of stuff I did not know. Thank you!
I must also specially thank this new friend I met at the friend who has always supported me all the way. Regardless of what happens in the future, hopes our friendship holds. I guess U know who u r, “Shameless 1”!
Although this is not all that I feel now, but like what one of my friend said, “You are always having trouble explaining yourself.” Hopefully, guys u understand and feel that I really appreciate everything that has happen this whole summer.
For my clique members, I guess I have not been spending quality time with you guys. Hope you understand. During this summer, I guess one of the highlights I had with you guys is the Tioman trip and as usual the regular soccer session. Thanks guys!
That is all the appreciating words I have to say. For now.
Trivia for all those that are reading…
Just a recently situation I came up;
This very day, I am eating with another 4 colleagues. (2 girls, 3 guys including me).
Then one of the girls was unable to open her can of drink and she almost broke her nicely painted nail.
The 3 guys have 3 different reactions.
1. Guy A laugh and joke about the incident.
2. Guy B ask her if she needs help.
3. Guy C went straight to open the can for her.
For u guys, u can guess which one was me? And state and reflect on what kind of guy u r?
For the girls, you can give yr comments as to which guy U like. These comments will become important feedbacks for the largely populated singles in my cliques.
That’s all!
Have Fun!

Haha... if in tat kind of situation, you will normalli be guy c.. coz u r those kind who will act immediately rather than ask...
For me, it depends... if let's say, there are mani guys askin help immediately, i will be A, if there is 2 to 3 guys askin the girl immediately for help, i will be B, if i am alone wif her, den it will be C...
so it depends on situation.
Well, which category talent belongs to depends on the followings:
A) non kip huip
B)very kip huip
C) Very kip huip cum he likes that kip huip.
If A), talent will just laugh at the incident.
If B), he will just ask first.
If C), haha u shd noe the ans.
Anyway to all non-GMH members, kip huip = chio bu

If she is a kip huip, i don even need to help cos someone else would have already voulunteered to help esp with my slower than average reflexes.
And even if no one helped, i will still ask first before helping, some girls may not want u to help and may think u are either a busybody or a alpha male, come on， girls also have pride.
But I will definitely not laugh，
己所不欲，勿施于人。
It's good that you have found a purpose in life Terence, inform me if there are anymore such camps. It will be a good experience for my future work. I missed the previous one due to reservist.
己所欲之, 慎施于人
Teh
guess we are all missin the point here..
i have a simple question to ask..
who would want to date a kip huip, regardless of how kip she is,if she doesn't even know to to open a can drink??!!
then next time u gonna open all her stuff for her juz coz of her 'nicely painted nail'?
if she had short nails that would be a different scenario altogether then i guess its only natural to help..
2 cents worth,
alvin
Since alvin has put in a new post..
I shall reveal... Actually I am Guy B...
I wanted to ask the lady...
And actually to some situations, i may make a joke and help the lady in the end also...
But to many, I guess it still depends on that situation at that time..

ALVin! love your out of the box thinking.. For me, I will be guy B, even if she is my gf or my daughter. If a girl is too squemish to open a can because of being afraid to open a can, then it gives me the impression that she won't do any housework and won't make a good mother no matter if she is the most kip huip girl on earth. Girl nowadays are independant and opening a can for her immediately may give the impression that
1- U have self esteem problems and may seem to want to get her attraction.
2- U may make her feel useless as she feels stupid no to be able to even open a can of drink.
Human behaviour and dynamics are complicated but in essence, we still have some basic habits and traits that we share with animals. Best to check the level of friendship first. In any way, remember: a gentleman always asks permission. (even to pik piak.. haha! :P)
