I started the day bad...my dad didn't allow me to go for the 2-days-1-night Leadership Training Camp at Pulau Ubin with Alpha (MagSTORM and Magnius United are joining forces to become Alpha), and he kept reminding me to think through my life carefully, whether I want to work or go to school. He insisted that LTC is only for people who are gonna be 'leaders' in the company; I'm only a temporary, so he sees no need nor reason for me to attend the Camp.Well...I started the day feeling utterly upset about not being able to take part in the training with all my colleagues, and the only thing that made me feel better was that I wouldn't have to spend my money on buying the camping supplies.

My dad made me choose between going for the camp, and continuing on to my polytechnic education. If I go for the camp, he wouldn't support me to go to school at all. He wouldn't pay for my fees, give me pocket money, pay for my transport. I can't afford that to happen. So I stayed behind instead of meeting my team members at Lavender at 8am to buy the camping supplies.

Later I checked my JAE posting results..

In 3 years time, I'm gonna be an Assistant Landscape Architect. Maybe in 5 years I'll be a Landscape Architect!

Yup! I got into S'pore Poly's Dipl in Landscape Architecture course. Knowing that I managed to get into my 1st choice course made me feel better...now I'm suddenly reminded of the ad SP put at bus stops, the one with Taufik Batisah saying, "Be cool. Make Singapore Polytechnic your 1st choice." Haha, I did, and I got in. Woohoo!!

Yeah...then I still felt upset about my work-vs-family problem, so I called up my friend to meet up with her. I haven't met her for more than a week, and it seems that both of us are doing fine. She's happy being attached now; she's just got a boyfriend. Well, I'm happy for her!

Oh yeah...I wanna tell you about what happened yesterday...yesterday the whole of Alpha had to 'break zero', and more than half the group managed to do that within 2 hours the 'competition' started. I was madly lagging behind, it seemed almost impossible for me to 'break zero'. So my director Ms Jaslin asked me if I really wanted to go for the LTC. Of course I said I want to. Guess what she did? She pulled me to my Executive Director's room, and made me commit to him that I will 'break zero' by 10pm (it was 4-something). Mr Peter shook my hand and put his confidence in me. And if that wasn't scary enough, Ms Jaslin brought me to another ED's room, the one whom we nickname 'Director trainer', for all the many individuals that he had trained up to become Directors in the company. It wasn't only Mr Desmond in his room, one of his protege, JVD Mr Richard, was in too. And OMG I had to commit to BOTH of them that I'll 'break zero' by that day. I've never spoke to either of them before, they don't even know me nor my name, yet they kept on smiling, listened to me, and gave me their support and encouragement. Mr Desmond even said, "Don't worry, 'break zero' sure can wan!" And both of them laughed when I started crying out of pressure. Now I had 2 ED's and 2 JVD's trust in me. So wahpiang I had to die-die 'break zero' lor. But I won't tell you how. I did manage to 'break zero' by 6pm.

Haha...I'll never forget the severe look on Mr Peter's face, the very encouraging look on Mr Desmond's face and the slightly amused look on Mr Richard's face. Haha. HAHAHAHA...well at least I'm glad I didn't fail them afterall. Thanks to their support.

I LOVE THEM!!
