IT Youth Leader Finalist ! but... Busy... Madness... ahhh!

been so busy... dun even have time to blog. no time for hw. today went sch for Orientation 2 meeting. Then since I was in school, so went to join in Yvonne for filming... lolx.

It's been a crazy week ever since gotton in the elections for Student's Council. Now it's the start of planning for Orientation 2. Came up with the Orientation Ad-hoc website within like 1 night! Woohoo!


Guess what, I've like 4 CCAs now. SC, iComp, Piano Emsemble, Softball.

So what's supposed to happen tmr for me is this:

1st Softball training at 5pm, SC Meeting for O2 at 5.30, Support my classmate Yvonne for Campus superstar, and...

tmr's SLV too. sigh. Have not memorised my script for the skit yet. Btw, im acting as fireman =).

See everything clashes. Sigh. I'm seriously forced to drop ccas if this goes on. I dun even have time to touch my hw this wkend.


Last evening after the Orientation 2 meeting, I was invited back for the Annual Gala Dinner at Raffles City Convention Centre Ballroom - Swissotel, The Stamford, as part of the closing ceremony for the competition. This is an annual event whereby a total of 900 + representatives from IT related firms all over Singapore (including Microsoft, IBM, Singtel etc.) were invited.

In this IT Youth Leader competition, I managed to emerge as one of the 6 finalist, and was presented a plaque/certificate during last night's dinner. Other finalists include a teacher, while few others were mainly SMU and Poly students/graduates.

Indeed, it has been an eye opener for me throughout this whole competition, which includes going through an interview, in which I had to make a presentation in front of a panel of 20+ judges (which i remembered was on the same day as my O Level Biology written paper). It has challenged me psychologically to be able to carry out my best in front of so many high profile/experienced personnal. Also, I had to focus on both my exams and the interview at the same time.

Also, it's especially so as I was the youngest in age in the dinner/competition. (It was also the first time I wore a formal lounge suit/legally served red wine haha). From this, I have gained expereince in working and interacting with adults.

In fact, I'm more than honoured to be able to represent Victoria School, as well as VS IT Club/VS Monitors' Council to achieve/receive such a prestigious award, one which is recognised at national level.

Once again, a very big thank you to Mr. Ang for having made the recommendation possible, and Mr. Alvin You and Ms. Tang for your recommendation and the testimonials.

Also, thank you principals and teachers; Mr. Low Eng Teong, Mr. Adrian Lim, Ms. Ann Teo, Mr. Ikhwan, Ms. Wendy Yap, Mrs. Foo, Mr. Gabriel, and Mr. Edmund Goh for your support and guidance throughout my 4 years in CCA, for this, has helped me to learn and develop in terms of character as well as in my passion for IT.

Nil Sine Labore. =)
