a brief moment to think.

how was today spent? in the morning after breakfast i was vetting thru crc minutes, then prepared an alumni comm mail and went to office to reaffirm some matters, then helped with a bit of chores on the office side, and then met jeremy and sharilynn with the freshly printed newsletter so discussed a bit of stuff with them. then went for my test. after that i was supposed to go meet jiahui at co-op but she went to science and i went to arts so well done. went back to my room feeling very giddy after the A1 ride, then finally went for dinner with juncai and waikit and ended off with a brief discussion on crc matters with huey shin and kane (before deciding that we dun have enough materials to discuss in depth) then went back to my room and tried to prepare the mail update for games fiesta sponsors. finally i'm done, taking a break to type this and reflect abit, going to shower later and then attempt a 3292 paper.

actually i started writing this post to talk about the things i do. because i decided that it might be a bit awkward to put it on my door so i might as well type them here first as a trial. i'm sort of an exhibitionist in that sense.

i am supposed to become a teacher, about 3 years from now, maybe longer. teaching chemistry, or maybe mathematics, depending on my luck.

i'm already a vocal musician, baritone in voice range but never performed as baritone in my 10 years of singing. in fact i even once performed as tenor 1 with the alumni group, but that was for free. so i've only ever been paid as a bass. i also attempt fruitlessly to do arrangements, play the keyboard, harmonica, guitar, and i might pick up violin, if my sister does decide to learn.

i'm also a av technician. i've been in the line since 8 years ago, and i'm pretty fluent with analogue systems for lights and sound, as well as video filming and editing. but since i left the active service, many things have turned digital, so the only things i'm up to date with are those that i continue to explore in my spare time, which means not very much. i did however become a gadget collector, which explains why i own a video camera, and have hoarded the family's second digital still camera for an indefinite period.

i'm also trained pretty well as a clerk, to do paper works. it probably started in army when i was doing staffwork, and then moved on to a slightly different sort when i worked in pathlight. when i'm in hall i also get to do abit of paperwork here and there, the most extreme so far being crc (pure paperwork, but of course there's another committee of that level - branding comm) In army and hall i also chanced upon occasional opportunities to organise things, packaged together with coordination with various people, and leading various groups of ppl towards whatever relevant goals.

perhaps that was why i was pushed to try for new posts, like jcrc. because i got too comfortable doing the things i like to do. but i must say that i'm not suited for the post well, so it might be for the better that i did not get it, which is why i'm now in crc, both parts of voices, alumni comm, yep, pub comm marketing, float and also am an auditor. kane did jokingly suggest that i take up branding after he leaves for sep. hmhm. i also sense rocke arrows from the dark.

and now on to shower. i reckon i shouldnt put these things up on my door. too lengthy. but maybe i should warn the hall activity leaders about my standards when i did duty as DO. i was the nightmare of all the clerks in the unit. i probably will make auditing a very scary experience. the hall has no idea what they are in store for man...
