ooPs...this was what i received after yesterday's auditions...
"Thank you for your participation in Virtuoso'06. After a round of intense audition, we are sad to inform you that your name is not included in the next chapter of the Virtuoso'06 book."
okie...alrights & so you know(: it ain't the money that i'm after but the recording contract as well as the experience...watever the case, its over=)
everything that happened yesterday was soOo wrong! SO WRONG!! oh gosh! *blush..its NOT going to happen again....NEVER EVER!!!

i'm still deciding if i should coach..
taking up coaching means less time spent with my family..more time spent with baby..
yet it also means i get to learn in the process of coaching these kids. Its definitely not the money that i'm looking at..but the experience of working with kids and enabling them to fulfil what they want in life and to get them to love themselves for who they are, treasuring the people around them. Its that kind of satisfaction you will gain when you see the kids change within those days when you're with them..
actually, i have my reasons..it would be tough to not be feeling how i will be feeling when i see what i see..confusing?? its not for you to know anyway..but i guess baby will know what i'm talking about. Its not that i wouldn't trust you..but it would be very difficult on our part to be allowing the culture of the coaches to come between us. Thats the main problem thats forcing me to not send that email to her..=( As much as i want to coach, i guess i would have to break this barrier on my own in order to have the courage and faith to send it..
i know you would want me to go experience it myself..i remember the promise we made yesterday..
i'll think about it..i still have a few more days..
he said as long as i get a GPA of 3.4 this year and pass that optional stats waiver test, i'll be egligible for something that i want really badly! oh gosh! i'm going to aim for that GPA to be above 3.4...I WANT IT!!!! B+ he said..oh gosh! sociology is killing me. I don't even understand what prof is talking about..and i'm going to sit for my mid terms on tuesday..*sob sob*=(..cedric said it was easy..that he'll help me..which means he'll be studying it together with me...but who knows how well it will go?? sigh..CK was a science student too..so he's gonna aim for the same thing that i'm aiming for..i hope i'll be able to get what i want eventually..*prays hard*
dear lord..do you hear my prayer? i thank you for everything that you have given me..for that very special person that has appeared in my life. You know how much i've been going through lately. The problems, the unhappiness, the downfalls..all these dear lord, i felt you were there with me to pick me up each time i get hurt so deeply. I blame myself for everything that happened. I've been hearing so many negative things happening around my friends and many a times i question why you put it there for them. I'm sure you knew how they were to be feeling with all those unhappy situations happening in their lives. Yet dear lord, i know you placed every situation in our lives to teach us something. Each day, each situation, lord, you had planned it for us. My life lies in your hands. I know what lies ahead of me is the best you want for me. dear lord, it is the best gift i would ever have received. AMEN!(:
In his love i'll trust..
In his faith i'll conquer..
In his words i'll silently listen..

15th sep...9.15am...mEL officially got her freedom on the road..YAY!!*clap clap clap*
lets see...
2 pts - requiring additional reverse movement during reverse parking( thats because i had to redo the parking instead of allowing myself to HIT the kerb which will cost me 10 PTS..hehe)
4 pts - failing to confirm safety during the course of parking
2 pts - delay in moving off
2 pts - failing to check mirror b4 moving off..
yeap so there you go...do your maths & you'll get TEN points!!!!! yAy!!!! i don't have to treat someone to ben and jerry's anymore! muahaha(:
obviously uncle steven was very happy with my performance..hehe..gonna treat him soon..(: thanks thanks!! oH..he was saying.."SEE!! told you to keep checking your mirror before you move off and always confirm safety le..otherwise its only 4 pts.." wOw!! hahaha...no one can ever get 4 pts lar...somehow or other they'll try to mark you down in other areas de..
& i swear i wasn't paying attention during political science class today..prof was great! and he kept asking us to share our ideas...but somehow, i was like over excited about my freedom on the road that i forgot about paying attention to him speaking about INDIVIDUALISTS!! hahaha...anyway, after the break i decided i should pay attention..and i started shooting my hands up in the air like 3 or 4 times to answer his questions..woOHoO!! so happy with myself lar...this is the first time i've spoken so much in a class!! especially a soci class which i'm NOT familiar and i'm still very blur in!! muahaha(: participation for today?? FULL marks!!
aBoUt LoVe..
9:18 PM.
its a wonder why we can get so happy just seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids you work with..
was down at the home today..the very first lesson for the ltb(: &..it was a success..teachers were very helpful & the kids were so cute! gosh! they really brightened up my day..
had driving..& that was the very first time i drove in the circuit..totally screwed up the whole course..i was so blur..and uncle steven kept yelling at me...totally forgot all my stuff..the parking..the balancing..and the direction changing..:(
but that email from him really cheered me up..thanks(:
oh yes! not forgetting..received a email from ian and he said that head TA was very happy with how our team worked..she liked our project..she liked our group logo!(: "i can see the A's coming" that was exactly what he said..
ck told me to scold that girl who was trying to impose her ideas on the whole group..it didn't piss me off lar...cuz wat she suggested was quite good..at least it was relevant to the whole meeting..i kept quiet when she said all those stuff because i'm not suppose to take charge..i agree it was a initiative on my part to be organising the meeting yesterday and got you people to email me the contact list cuz i felt that was the only way we could keep in contact. We ARE in the same class...but we dun recognise each other..thats what makes the meeting inpossible..so we needed someone to start collating something! deciding on the topic was a decision made by 4 people...it wasn't a general consensus..and if i hadn't done that, we wouldn't be able to "fight" for that topic which we wanted to do..
i feel its time for me to step back and just be a follower..its so tiring to just sit in a team and start leading the meeting..its draining on my part cuz it wasn't my responsibility to begin with :(
"the irresponsibilities of some people led to the defeat and failure of the whole team.."
aBoUt LoVe..
10:06 AM.
i am special..
only allowed to think positively..
not allowed to say anything thats negative..
"teambuilding means..TEAM-BUILD-IN
leadership means..LEAD-THE-SHIP"
oOoO...thats interesting...(:
*prof said, "great project! i like it..i like the art pieces..i like the group logo! but..maybe you should call in professional artists to help? they may help in someway.."
now..this is what i call team dynamics??
WHAT kind of TEAM dynamics do you see?? the presentation was great because of the work of a FEW people in the team...the others are just leeching on whosoever who's doing the job..isn't it a TEAM effort?? if so...then why can some people NOT attend meetings everytime we have one?? is this considered a responsible behaviour?? come on! Ian knows what has been going on..he knows we're putting up with it and still working on the project like as though it would be fine without you...but its the TEAM effort that prof is looking at...7 men team becomes 5-6 cuz some people are missing?? because some people are not being updated about what has been going on during the meetings?? because he/she didn't give any suggestions during the discussions?? eventually its your grades that suffers...NOT MINE!
& i feel you people should just trust us to do a good job tomorrow...coming up with a lesson plan is a great idea! its not that we do not want to do it...but it is because i personally feel we wouldn't follow according to the plan cuz we're working with disabled kids here! timings will change! they're DYSFUNCTIONAL!! not FUNCTIONAL!! so you can't FIX a specific time for them to DO things...especially since we're teaching them to paint!
it requires lots of patience and time to be working with these kids and putting a time frame to it will only hinder the process of interaction with them as well as the time for them to develop that creativity..
i see your point...that you're afraid we ain't able to complete the whole lesson within 1 hour...it is a short time...BUT if you expect us to complete so many things within that period we're given...i wouldn't say that its impossible until we have tried it out tomorrow..i'll try though..
can't believe this is happening...like WHY is melinda making a big fuss out of a small problem of coming up with a lesson plan??
you've got to understand that its because after I came up with what we were going to do for day one...then i said.."okie...so carry on...wat do you intend to do??" and she said.."huh?? but we have to wait and see where you all have left off wat..." GAWD!!! how pissed off can i get then?!?!?! i came up with the plan for 1st day and you didn't want to continue?? are you saying that we WOULDN'T be able to stick to the planned time?? THEN WHY in the FIRST PLACE did you get us to come up with it?!?!?!?!
this is seriously getting nowhere...every meeting, someone is bound to be drifting off somewhere into their la~la~land..somehow sometime, we will all be doing our own personal stuff cuz there is NO CONCRETE agenda for our meetings! what kinda DYNAMIC TEAM do you call that?!?!?!
:( utterly dissapointed in the team..its a failure that we have to act upon..its something that we must as a team sit down to talk about..WE MUST!

its 9th sep tomorrow...the day for auditions...kinda dissapointed some people by deciding not to go for it but hmm...i'll say..."if i'm talented, i'll be scouted"(:

it was a test of your love towards me. I agree i was taking a gamble. Like who knows what might happen when i told you all those stuff right? Now i know! i didn't make the wrong choice to do what i did. I didn't make the wrong choice to make my promises.
I made you cry. I cried..for you. Because i said, you loved me too much.
But i'm so touched by your actions..and whatever i told you last night came from the bottom of my heart. All i said was true..except for that when i said.."i'm not sure if i love you.." cuz i really do!
