Nice making frens

Woohoo... i am $1500 richer tonight, after receiving my very very very last monetary scholarship award this evening, given by my ethnic clan and association. Have been getting this award almost every yr except 2003, which clashed with BS Welcome Tea.

There were abt 3 tables of students at the dinner this evening, who were receiving the awards. I was seated among the NUS students + 1 jc2 boy. As all of us belong to the same dialect group, we get to click with one another pretty fast. Needless to say, I am the oldest guy among all, and I spare no time to help promote for NUSBS welcome tea. A few others also started to promote their own ECAs' welcome tea too. I was really impressed by how the youngsters these days behave. A few of them can be instantly identified as good leaders, very sociable, friendly and charismatic.

Seated next to me was the jc2 boy, and i spent most of my time talking to him. He was from HCJC and he told me abt the Children Cancer Foundation shaving thingie, which was held in his sch. He said that the response was really good, and he was impressed.

Yes, i always enjoy making friends. I love to throw myself into an environment where everyone is a stranger. I recalled that whenever a new academic yr starts (means shifting into a new hostel/cluster/hall), i will be very excited to get to know my new neighbours. And more often than not, the frenships among us can be greatly catalyst with the help of MSN. MSN kinda breaks the invisible barrier between ppl, and allow ppl to be more daring and willing to communicate with one another.

Orite, tmr is an exciting day!
