Results!

Unlike what I had expected for my GPA this semester (which was to maintain a 3.8 something), I exceeded my own expectations!

Old news, but new on this blog! I managed to procure a GPA of 3.91, which was basically the highest in my entire class :)

HAPPY!

Post

Previous was just for the sake of it.

AND

To prove the fact that I am kinda losing my mind.

Yay

Random quiz thing on like three people's blogs (shan't name who)

Your result for The Quick & Painless ENNEAGRAM Test...

8 - the Asserter

you chose AY - your Enneagram type is EIGHT (aka "The Challenger").

"I must be strong"

Asserters are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

• Stand up for yourself... and me.



• Be confident, strong, and direct.



• Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.



• Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender,
  vulnerable side.



• Give me space to be alone.



• Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.



• I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's
  a personal attack.



• When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just
  the way I am.

What I Like About Being a EIGHT

• being independent and self-reliant



• being able to take charge and meet challenges head on



• being courageous, straightforward, and honest



• getting all the enjoyment I can out of life



• supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me



• upholding just causes

What's Hard About Being a EIGHT

• overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to



• being restless and impatient with others' incompetence



• sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it
  



• never forgetting injuries or injustices



• putting too much pressure on myself



• getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when
  things don't go right

EIGHTs as Children Often

• are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit



• are sometimes loners



• seize control so they won't be controlled



• fugure out others' weaknesses



• attack verbally or physically when provoked



• take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

EIGHTs as Parents

• are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted



• are sometimes overprotective



• can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

RV Limelight (or otherwise known as Raffles Institution Choir Limelight)

I feel a certain obligation to blog about the above mentioned due to the barrage of blog posts about it on my fellow choristers' blogs.

Well, it was certainly a blast, for us the performers and you the audience. I hope that you, sitting in one of the thousand seats that we managed to sell, did indeed enjoy yourself with the varied repertoire that we presented.

Well done RV!

Time

It Might Be You

Time, I've been passing time
Watching trains go by.
All of my life,
Lying on the sand watching seabirds fly.
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me.
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you...
All of my life...

Looking back as lovers go walking past...
All of my life,
Wondering how they met and what makes it last.
If I found the place,
Would I recognize the face?
Something's telling me it might be you.
Yeah, it's telling me it might be you.

So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
I think we're gonna need some time
Maybe all we need is time...
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life...

I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there's so much more
No one's ever heard before...
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life...

It's you...
It's you...
I've been waiting for all of my life...

(Maybe) It's you... (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you... (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life...

(Maybe) It's you... (It's you)
(Maybe) It's you... (It's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life...

I totally love this oldie. Perhaps the singer is talking about a human being of the opposite sex. But, more importantly, it shows how long he is willing to wait just for his dreams to come true.

Time, something that we cannot control or stop.

Time, something that goes on without care for any man.

Time, something that passes by.

Let's stop just dreaming or waiting for our dreams to materialize.

On a side note: THE BEIJING OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY OWNZ!!! Cannot believe that I am still watching the Singapore NDP after watching that imba display by China.

Kudos to Zhang Yimou, keeping his audience continually mesmerized by the stunning displays and seamless transitions, portraying 5000 years of Chinese history in just a short 2 hours.

To all the performers and the people working in the backstage: I applaud thee!
