Resume done!
I finally finished my resume! Ready to go to sch to print out tmr. It was rather a chore, but I dun believe in putting things off too much.
Was just thinking abt my NUS life. Overall, I am happy to be here. Academic wise, I feel very disappointed at myself actually. If u see my PSLE standards, I shouldn't be where I am now really. But it's really no point regretting. I wish that I had put in more effort for my few papers this sem, but now I must leave it up to God. It was really becos of my stay in Hall in year 2 that I ended up where I am. Hehe...I played too much and got too involved emotionally and neglected my studies. Hoho...confession time yeah. Besides, I wished that I had put in more time to serve God.
As I was writing my resume, I was taking a mental note of the sort of ECA I had been involved in. As most of u know, my ECA always consisted of something to do with 1st Aid. First, I was in St. John in sec sch. Then by default I went to Red Cross in NUS. Perhaps some may think it is a starnge sort of thing to do, I mean there is no value-added in doing it, except maybe when someone got into some emergency situation. But the truth is, I get the same adrenaline rush sportsmen get when they go running etc. I also got to know some of the best frens I have. I still meet up with them and they do sayang me hehe. But it's the action of saving people that really gave me a kick. Before I knew Jesus, I did it cos I knew that I was good at it and people would heap praises on me. But now I am more humble and know that God is helping me.
Some heads of certain detachment in Red Cross have been trying to get me to join their groups, including my god-brother, Stephen. Especially after I led the winning group in the competition 2 years back. Stephen said he wanna "groom" me but I am resisting becos my ex and I agreed that he can be a bit extreme in enthusiasm hahahaha... But he is still my good fren, tho I dun really call me and he doesn't call me unless his girlfren (oso in Red Cross) goes to KL. Hmph...such fren! Whenever he calls me he will invariably pretend to change his voice and test if I recognise him, which I never fail to be correct! Now that 1 detachment is closed for good, I have only my god-bro's one to worry abt.
His requirement is that I go for meeting once a month and do a public duty once every 2 months, which is not bad, except for the reason I stated above. I used to enjoy my public duties, which basically means that you stand guard and help if someone got injured. Some of my most enjoyeable public duties are: National Day Parade 2002, MacRitchie Cross Country run during Sec when lots of gals just drop when they reached the finishing line, this charity show where I got to go backstage to treat Qi Yiwu. No lah actually we din get to do anything cos Uncle Kek, our good ambulance driver was treating him. Uncle Kek was awarded some special recognition for his exemplary service 2 years ago. If u ever notice, his name was put on certain bus stops. Then there was 1 in the Mandai Zoo, where this forever absent Honorary Secretary agreed to go for the duty last min, becos as my fren, Khai Teng, told me, he said, "Why u neva told me got chio bu doing duty?" Hey I am not being buai hiao pai ok, I am just stating what my fren said. So I spent the whole rather uncomfortable afternoon at one side of the Zoo trying to talk to this new guy I met. while the other 2 were assigned elsewhere. I want to copy Weijin here, since she copied my post, so someone tell me, why am I still unattached? hahahaah...
