I'll be putting up another blogpost soon for talented kids aged 6 years old to 12 years old.

TODAY

How do I even describe my day today?

Went to school with Serena and found out that I have to play a 50+ old gay man who goes to Thailand and falls in love with a 19 year old Thai massage boy. Serena's playing my little...yeah well...she knows : ) School rocks...

Anywho, after that, Serena and I headed over to Jurong East MRT station to wait for Prabs. While waiting, we discussed about Kollyhood and Bollyhood. Yes, Serena's chinese. No, she hasn't forgotten how to speak chinese.

Once Prabs came, we headed off to Jurong Point at Boon Lay where we went to Billy Bombers and ate expensive food. Deena joined us and ate equally expensive food. It was damn filling but I had my eyes on the chocolate fondue. So we ordered. Sumptious chocolate with marshmallows yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But then of course, Prabs had push the chocolate off one of my marshmallows preventing a nice sheen of chocolate layer to coat my marshmallow. Damn you Prabs. Then Prabs and Serena fought over the ice cream for the fondue. Deena, during all this, was contently eating a particular flavour of ice cream that neither of the other two seemed to like.

After that, we walked around a bit before coming to a store where we spent quite some time looking at the stuff. We then bought these really chic bag tags. There are many designs for the E Z link card sized cards and you can personalize them by placing your name on it. I got Shanty one with Ariel's image on it, Prabs and I got Naathan one with Timon and Pumba and the words, "Hakuna Matata" on it, Prabs got one of the 101 dalmations yawning and I got this authentic design of mickey mouse. They are really beautiful tas and each cost $6.90 but if you buy 2, it costs only $10.

Then, we finally made our way down to the arcade, Zone X. Played Daytona and some other games. Playing the dancing game with Deena and died from the high tempo. Then, Serena and I played Para Para. We are proud to offcially announce that we attained to the highest score ever in that arcade. Can you imagine our joy when we saw that top score : ) : )

Then, we headed back and then, ate brownies and cheese cakes outside CC. Ganesh, Sathin and Thana soon arrived. Isaac arrived with Shanty. Thana, Serena, Naathan, Yoga and myself went from a meeting. Now, I'm tierd and my eyes are drooping on their own accords.

All in all, it was an AWESOME DAY!!!!! This day was more than I could ever hope to ask for.

Machine?

Leaders must be tough enough to fight, tender enough to cry, human enough to make mistakes, humble enough to admit them, strong enough to absorb the pain, and resilient enough to bounce back and keep on moving.

Love is just around the corner

How else can I make it better for you'll? How else can I explain that it takes courage to forgive but never forget. How else can I make you'll see that sometimes when one love fails, a better one will always come along.

Did the Planet Betray us? Or did we Betray the Planet?

Sameer suggested that I talk about global warming on my blog. No idea why he wanted me to but it got me thinking and seriously why not right?





Are we really running out of time? Some say it's all a heap of nonsense inspired to simply ensure people follow rules and regulations while others say that it is all true and that unless we do something about it, we are all in line for certain doom.

What do I say?



Insightful isn't it. Someone has to literally place a picture of an infant aging into an old man with the receding glacier behind him to make us see the truth.

Is time running out?



It is eye opening when you hear children say what they just did. It makes you wonder if we, the generation that came before them, are to be blamed. We need to grow up. We need to realise that this is our land.

We need to take responsibility.

Don't we?



It will come to a point where we need to take a stand before an SOS is required. We need to fight against what is to come. But then, it brings us to another question.

What are really fighting for?



It made me sit up straight in my seat. It made me realise how it can all be insignificant compared to what the future may hold.

Does it really matter how different we all are?



Humans are not the only ones living on this planet. There are the other creatures.

What happens to them then?



Look at yourself in the mirror. Take a good long look.

Are you capable of change?



Why do I feel like we betrayed our planet?

Singe Ladies ; )

This is an A list song with an A list dance performance. It's unbelievable that this entire dance routine was taking at one go with a few cameras. Kudos to Beyonce for pulling this off!

What is a Leader?

Leaders do not abuse their followers
. . .for without followers there can be no leaders.
Leaders teach those who serve them.
. . .They are the caretakers of their federation and of their people.
Without people who care there can be no federation.
. . .Leaders are prepared to lead, lead with fairness and love,
while teaching others to lead.

Their power does not come from magic
. . .it comes from the secrets of leadership.
To master these secrets requires time and hard work.
. . .There are no shortcuts, it takes time.
And with time comes the learning and paying the price.
. . .Leaders make decisions and don't put off
because delaying necessary decisions
. . .discourages those who follow them-
They learn by observing the leader's actions and words.

Leaders anticipate risk and are willing to accept
. . .the consequences of risk instead of
turning to the comfort of personal security.

Their instincts become sharpened by experience.
. . .This experience helps the leader develop
skills to carry out their goals.

Leaders never cease to be students.
. . .They never cease to look for new insights
and new methods while preserving tradition.
. . .They master the skills necessary to be effective powerful leaders.

Loyalty - not to be mistaken for disagreement, for it is not disloyal to disagree for the good of the federation or those they lead. If one who follows brings disharmony, they must be removed for their negative actions divide and breakdown the group. A true leader sees inside the heart and knows the nature of each follower's action.

Courage - It takes courage to carry out assignments, overcome obstacles, surpass confusion in adversity. Leaders are not overcome by small challenges but carry on in the face of many obstacles, learning from each one. They excel in times of uncertainty and danger as well as success

Loneliness - is often a part of a leaders life. He or she has suffered despair, ridicule, and has developed the virtue of long-suffering. Leaders act with confidence. Trusting themselves and the higher power of their belief in God as they understand Him.

Self Confidence - develops from proper training and experience and develops the assurance to meet all life's challenges. A show a lack of self confidence is evident to their followers and they soon lose respect and fall by the wayside.

Accountability - is strong in leaders because they accept freely the responsibility for their actions and do not make excuses. They never place blame. They take pride in their achievements. They are responsible in seeing that things are done and directions are followed.

Reputation - is believed by friends and adversaries. Their credibility is solid for they believe in honesty of word and deed.

Timing - is learned by failure as well as success. The lessons learned from mistakes of when to act and move develop their timing. They know who they are dealing with and their character as well as their opponents ambitions. Leaders master their sense of timing..

Competitiveness - resides in the heart of a leader for each one has a strong desire to win in battle, negotiations and internal strife.

Desire - brings commitment in the heart of a warrior. Every leader is a warrior and must have a desire to lead.

Stamina - in body and mind and emotional strength constantly grow. Demands increase with each level. Leaders bounce back from defeat and discouragement and persist in the face of difficulty. They are sound in body and mind.

Empathy - enables them to appreciate the value of others. They learn the cultures and beliefs of their followers and are sensitive to them. They know when not to ask personal questions. They take into account all the facts of a situation.

Dependable - and reliable, others can count on them. They never give up. They even persist when others abandon them. Leaders are tenacious and unyielding in pursuit of their goals. Leaders emphasize to their followers that they depend on them and are proud of them.

Stewardship - to caretake the goals of the federation with confidence, trust, loyalty, and love. Leaders never abuse those who follow themand, only as a last resort, when all other attempts have failed do they remove those who do not share the same sense of fairness and unity. They realize that to be good leaders they had to first learn to be a good follower.
