and so i'm back for part II.

there isn't really much for the 2nd EU because i was kinda sick so i didn't do much. all throughout the program, i was battling gastric and so in many of the photos taken in the 2nd EU, i have this pretty dazed look. yeap. as discovered by shannon.

this time round i was in charge of security. i have to admit i didn't do much. but i did help out wherever i can when people asked me to. i slept quite a bit because i was suffering from insomnia at night and i was just so tired and weak.. and the pain was simply killing me. i really appreciate those who cared and understood and helped me out wherever and whenever. thanks guys. i love you! <3

this EU, i was to look out for my dear friend melissa. she's been to many other programs but none really worked for her. i knew she had massive shit on her.. and i was really looking forward to the boardbreak to see how she did. to my surprise, she was so emotional during that session. i was shocked. but yea. after it was all over, i was really really happy for her. she managed to breakthrough many things in life that was holding her back.. and i was just elated. she was the best thing for me this EU.

the other thing was meng han and irvin. seriously speaking, i wasnt too happy with irvin. i knew he could've done better... as for meng han, i was very impressed with him. he really stepped up a lot and im just proud of him. we're all waiting for him to join the assist team. he'll make a great assist. i have high hopes in him. ;) make me proud meng hang! you know i love you.

as for the cats, i was happy with their performance. i dare say that this EU, i tried to focus more on my team.. but i know that i could've done better. so i'm gonna keep working on it at subsequent EUs. yeaps. and a lot of the hard work was thanks to the many budding leaders in the team. really was satisfied with their performance. liwen was my partner in crime. hahas. she was so busy with notes so i had to spend more time with the group. yeap. understood. liwen's sucha darling la. it was only during this EU that i got closer to her. excuse me miss.. hahas. i know im just sucha bitch la. and i wasn't well-liked in the 1st EU but it's alright. at least we understand each other now yeah? x) i love you princess.

it's been awhile since EU and i may have missed out a few stuff. but nevertheless, i'll try my best.

we had an addition to our team for the 2nd EU. and that was linnette. she's just crappy LA. hahas. but she really cracks us all up by her random-ness and her nonsense and jokes. but we still love her. she's just bubbly and cute.. so adorable please. but linnette: you know i have to hate you. grrr. hahas. just kidding.

the assist performance this time round was really good as well. we had three guitarists and a drummer. guitarists: tim, linnette and bernie. drummer: hafiz. bernie brought his electric drums. so it was cool. we sang to the tune of me and you and my dog named boo. but of cos we changed the lyrics to something relevant to EU. x) it turned out really well i must say. though i think our singing was a bit soft? cos of the overpowering music by guitars and drums. but it was still nice. im sure the participants enjoyed it. brent and dale said we're matching up to the sydney assists standard x)) we'll beat them! hahas. we declare... RIVALRY. muahahas. nahhs. kidding. we're one big family.. though we're miles apart.

the rest kinda was the same? the massage trains and the stuff we talk about? x)

oh yeah. tim was being sucha meanie. he made so many people depressed and some cry thanks to his music. he was playing some spanish music.. and some just broke down and cried cos it brought back memories from the past. tsk tsk. i won't mention names to spare these people of the embarrassment.

i think that's about it for the 2nd EU.. i'll carry on with my individual comments.



brent: thanks for being a confidante, a friend and a mentor all at the same time. you're the best! i love you so much. i enjoyed every single second we spent together. and i miss you so much. can't wait till you come back here. there's so many things i wanna tell you but there's just not enough time. but one day, one day if fate permits, we can sit down and talk. it was over the week that we went out together almost everyday(with ryan and at times dale) that we got much closer and being good friends(i daresay). thanks for being there when i needed someone. WE LOVE GAMES. (specifically for the smart and intelligent)


dale: i have so much to learn from you i swear. but you were so busy i hadn't the time to talk to you. tsk. of the many times i hung out with brent and ryan, you weren't there! was so hoping you were so that we could get to know each other better and so i could learn about what you do and a trick or two from you. siggh. pity. but it's alright. we can always stay electronically connected x) and the next time i'm gonna catch you and talk to you more. x) you're just way too quiet during EUs. sheeesh. and always on your laptop. no good!! *wags finger. anyways, i love you and thanks for your amazing books. they're a great help! ;) missing you loads. HOT ASS! =x


ryan: we have the same taste in music! and i love your sarcasm. it's really funny how you keep so quiet.. it's like you have a lot to say but you keep it all within. hahas. but when you make a statement, it's really sarcastic and impactful. it's cool ya know. it's like you've just got the wits but you choose to be more reserved with what you say. but it's all good. it was really fun to hang out with you. BOOOOOOM! i will never forget that. laughed my lungs out. ;) *winks.


steve: you are such a great leader. i guess i misjudged you initially. please forgive me? you're a great friend and i reckon there was an invisible barrier initially cos we misunderstood each other and didn't know much bout each other as well. but now all's good. x) and i love you steve. thanks for having so much faith in me.. it gave me a lot of confidence. you're a great mentor as well. i'm sure you will be successful in life. just be sure to seek advice before you start anything k? if you need a friend, i will always be here. love you loads! <3


hafiz: MY SAYANG! hahas. you're great la. you're sucha bastard and a jerk at times but i know it's all out of the word "FUN". it's amazing how on the job you can get so focused and produce results. now that i've seen you at work, i believe in you. you're just an amazing leader and you have great people skills. i have lots to learn from you. it's great that you know how to differentiate work from play and i think that's perfect. cos it's essentially what it takes to be a businessman. way to go. you'll have many years to come.


stephy: she's my best darling. i love her to bits. it was her that stood by me in trying times and i just love her for that. she never fails to lend me a listening ear and i'd do the same for her. she's just an amazing young lady. she's got so much potential in her. far more than was is currently tangible. at a tender age of 15, she's leading really well with her subjects older than her. and i admire her for that. though at times she suffers setbacks like fear and stuff, but she still pushes through and makes it great. i love her. so so much! she's my best bud. i've talked so much about her i think in the previous entry as well i think i should stop. you know how important steph is to me. and i will never forget all the times we share... she's really emotional, but it's ok. it's good that she can express her emotions.. i'm pretty envious. cos sometimes i can't even cry when i feel so bitter. i just love her so much. little miss naive? hahas. and the "dude in the middle" *winks. did i mention she's very motherly? yeah she is. she'll make a great mother next time. x)


liwen: she was the team leader at my 2nd EU. i must say we've acknowledged each other as friends but we haven't really gotten on really well. and yupps. it was only at my 2nd EU assisting that we got closer. and now that i can talk to her about many other things, i feel so much more at ease communicating with her and very much more comfortable. she looks like a princess and i think she deserves to be one. she too is only 15 and she's stepping up quite a lot. truly admirable. keep up the good work babe. and i love you. always remember.. that if you need someone to talk to, cry to, share your joys, you will always have me here yeah? x)


natalie: she's my amazing little sister. i love her to bits too. i see her every week and i'm seeing her grow up. she talks to me about school work and every other thing. and she's just so cute. i love how hardworking she is. she's just got so much going for her. i've got lots of hope in her. though we didn't seem to talk much during EU cos steph and i had our escapades and bitching session, i still love her. promise not to neglect her again. PROMISE!.


shih han: yes.. my rabbit. she's so understanding. and i love that. she has respect for people but yet isn't afraid to voice her honest opinions. i like that cos through that all of us can learn. she too is amazing. when asked to do something, no questions asked. she gets it done quickly. she's a bit like me in certain ways. we get things done fast and efficiently. i like how she motivates and encourage and tries to cheer you up when she sees that you're not really ok or not feeling well. many a times during EU she'd come up to me and ask if i was ok or did silly things to make me smile. and i appreciate that. she's just lovely. and she's got a great smile. thanks babe. i love you. and how you are sucha workaholic? it reminds me that i should sometimes be more hardworking and get to my work. thanks for that. subconsciously, you've done that for me. love you! <3


timothy: hahas. you were ONCE MINE. but you four-timed me! and i'm so hurt! tsk. but it's ok. hahas. since you've chosen linnette, we'll respect that. cos linnette is one of us as well. *winks. just make sure you don't break her heart. cos if you do. the others are coming after you.... anyways, he's an amazing young man. he's very very sweet and understanding. he takes the soft approach to everything that he does so as not to offend people. and that's great. love the way he does things. x)


lionel: he's just an irritating brat that doesnt know when to stop his annoying actions. hahas. but we still love him for his commitment and caring personality. yeah lionel? just know when to stop it. gay-ness isn't cool when you overdo it. he's really caring cos he'll make sure everyone was alright. and if you needed help, ask him and he'll do it. yeaps. and if he sees that you're not doing something right, he'll come up to you and inform you.. and that's great.. cos sometimes we don't see our own mistakes.


lata: she's so bubbly! she's got soooo much energy in her. and that's cool. cos just by looking at her, you just smile. she gives you a lot of energy and positive vibes. something i need to keep me going. x) i love you babe. though im not that close to you yet, i'm sure by the next EU we will. we shall talk more k?


zuhaila: she's really quiet? but yeah she's cool. she doesn things when asked to and i guess it just takes longer for her to step up cos of her shy nature. and being assists, we can understand. but do try harder k? we know you're already trying to step up and that's good! x) she's a really nice and sweet girl. but i've yet to discover more about her. <3 you babe.


linnette: OMG. she's the biggest bimbo.. hahas. but i love her la. and all her nonsense. seriously cracks you up man. i've talked so much about her.. all i wanna say is i love this bitch. hahas. she's my fellow ij girl! x) and you stole our guy. =(


bernie: hahas. thanks for caring for me all these while. ;) your videos are just great. all the best for NS and then australia for your film studies. you know i'll always be here if you need someone. though we haven't been talking much lately.. you know i'm still here. yeaps. please take care of yourself ok?


shannon: she's THE babe. heh. i love her la. we have so much to talk about. and i guess it was only at the 2nd EU that i've started to know her better and realised that we actually have so much to talk about. and because our age is closer.. like she's a year older than me... we have more in common to talk about. and that's just great. we have quite a lot in common. and so that's cool. we can go on talking for hours la. and we can talk about almost anything. this babe here... is soooo... naive. hahaas. she's a lot to learn la. but it's alright babe. it's ok. we understand. we still love you. sometimes it's good to be innocent too. *winks. I LOVE YOU! <333


kevin: i don't talk to him much.. but yeah. i still love you for being on the team. love how you and bernie always "perform". it's hilarious.


liting: i don't talk to you much.. so i don't know much about you. but nevertheless, i'll try to get to know you better yea? love you all the same. ;)


francis: seriously, i didn't know much about him. but i love how he's really caring and understanding. and he's just fun la. he's kinda like the oldest amongst us all but he's so accepting. love you francis! thanks for being YOU. that smile on your face and your elvis hairstyle just rox my sox. x) LOVE YOU! <3


glenys: this is THE screamer! hahas. she's crazy la. but she's just got so many problems. babe. sometimes you just need to RELAX yeah? don't think too much. and don't act rashly. i love how she's got so much energy in her.. and how she dances with me all the time. hahas. it's cool yeah? i love you so much. and remember. if you need someone, i'll always be here. whatever it is... <3


jia han: omg. you're just crazy luhh. at first i thought you were this really quite boy that probably wouldn't open up... but i realised you're not. you can be wild and crazy if you want to. you open up real quickly on the job. all that dancing and stuff. it's way cool! i love you jia han! keep up the good work!


sonia: we're not that close. but she's crazy la. she's got a lot of energy in her and she's always smiling. so that's good. x) i love her for being so bubbly and caring also! she's always willing to share whatever she has and she's always on the lookout for people. she's got great positive vibes in her and always doing something. LOVE YOU BABE. ;)


weikai: he's my boobie dance partner. and i enjoy every moment with him. he can get emotional when he wants.. and that's all cool. x) he's fun to be with. and he's just so good with the food i swear. i should learn from him. and guess what? he's my youngest brother's age. can't believe it. but yet i can get along so well with him. he's just more mature for his age i guess. i love you la weikai. you owe me a boobie dance ok? we're supposed to do it at the next EU. ;) *winks.


adri: thanks for having faith in me and believing in me. you've been a great mother to all the assists. always bringing breakfast for us and checking on us... and making sure we get our schoolwork done and stuff. love you for that! thanks for being our mother!


nanny(mark): you're the best nanny! you always try to cheer us up and check on every single assist to make sure we're doing fine. you hugg us and make us smile all the time. you do the silliest things that'll crack us up all in the name of fun. you're just so cute la. i love you so much nanny. i always wanna thank oou for the little talk we had after the 1st night of the 1st EU. it really helped me and i kept that in mind. thanks for lending me a listening ear. and also.. thanks for giving me the opportunity to shine and that belief and trust in me. thanks so much. i will never forget that. love you nanny. oh-so-much! <33 *hugggs.
