if you ask me what i have been doing on the past 3 days,
i'll tell you, I'm having an experience of a lifetime!

It's so great that I would give up my TV, movies,
books and even computer time and spent 13 hrs to do that
for 3 whole consecutive days!

I don't mind if it's even longer! It's juse so FUNN!
and i have never attended anything like this before.

Just in case you haven't know,
I attended "I'm gifted, so are you" programme.
And it has the funniest trainers ever!
I couldn't stop laughing ok.
Laugh until got stomach pain somemore.

They just know how to crack jokes,
and they kept sabotaging one another,
telling us one another's embarrassing moments.
It's was very entertaining!

and besides having fun and laugh, laugh, laugh,
I learnt alot of stuffs!!
ALOT.

my time there was VERY worthwhile,
and I am so GLAD that i went for this programme.
It was really very beneficial.

At first, I saw the itinery,
I thought it looked boring...
But from what i heard it wasn't.
So I was wondering how?
academic was made so funn?
(I always find it a torture to study)

in fact, this is not JUST about academic,
it's practically about your Life, your future.

Our trainers: Gary, Amin and Danny.
They are so eloquent and confident.
I realise too that they think alike.
What they say are somewhat alike too.
and mind you, they are horny.
but we are no better.
(haha!)

I learn to motivate myself,
and love myself even more...
what's even MORE important is
to love the ones around us, and really
cherish them when you can.
And that we will live life to the
fullest, and not regret about any
decision that we make.

Choices have consequences.

We decide the outcomes, the results,
and the actions we take,
would determined what we will acchieve.
This is a choice we have.

Gary is a powerful speaker!
He seems to know EVERYTHING.
You drop him a question, he can
just answer you straight. He didn't seem
to need to think about it at all.
and he is just damn hilarious la.
But I must really say, he is definitely
very good at words.
He made us laugh so badly,
as if the theatrette was filled with laughing gas.
and he also made us tear,
wail might be a better word.
He made us understand how fragile life is.
How precious our love ones are,
and how dear they are to us.

His analogy with the wine glass kind of freaked me,
i actually jumped and suddenly felt frightened.
He held the wine glass in his hand.
Holding tight to the wine base, he told
one of the us to give it a push.
He said the wine glass represented
ourselves, each individual.
and the tight grip of the wine base
was actually the believes and values
we have in life.
And the push was the distractions,
problems or obstacles we face in this
life journey.
Because of this tight grip,
we did not 'break', and so these
problems will only serve as a
learning experience for us.

(He also taught us that there is no
failure in life, they are only learning experience.)

However, if we do not have our believes
and values in life,
it's equilvalent to have a wine
glass on an open hand, and it just sits
on the palm.
With that, a slight push (problems)
would easily break the glass.
(he asked the girl to push it again,
it dropped on the floor and the wine base
came off.)

But that's not the end,
he picked it up, and continued,
saying something like if we don't
learn to appreciate, it would be
just like this. Then he threw the
glass towards the wall,
and it shattered to many many pieces.
That's when I jumped, and
I realise that's how fragile life is.
He says that would happen when a loved
one die, making us regret if we haven't
been treating them the way we should have.
And only when facing death, do
we learn to start appreciating, start
showing concern, however this may all
seem too late.
And cause us to live in eternal guilt,
and regret.

Believing yourself is very important.

The 3 trainers have all did experiments
to show us.
It's really true.
When you believe in yourself,
believe that you can do something,
you can do it no matter
how impossible it may seem.
We just need to believe that we can
and work towards our goal.
Without believe, sometimes our
hard work will just seem futile.
We don't try to accomplish something,
we WILL accomplish something.
It's the kind of believe we have that matters.

And if we think we are stupid,
that mentality would eventually sink in.

Our brain actually can't register negative things.

If asked to NOT imagine a pink elephant
with yellow flowers on its head,
would you not do so?

Amin has all sorts of nicknames.
(*laughs)
There's mina, amina, ah meng,
monkey, names like that.

He's just as knowledgeable too.
I guess they need to know these stuffs,
that's why.
But in the end, they were
really professionals. =)))

Amin was very sporting too.
*grinx.
He was forced to dance pole dance
with Wayne, and Joel was
suppose to be the pole.
But it ended up as Indian dance,
but nevertheless they still danced.
(*claps.)

Today is Gary's birthday.
And we made a birthday card for him.
With each one of us writing a msg
inside for him.
That would be a 100 msgs then.
And we sang the Happy Birthday song
for him in the Theatrette 3 times!
Cedar style! and on the 3rd time,
Cheryl handed him a little cake, which
was actually a muffin, with m&m in
the container and a candle on top.
He had to make a wish, and was asked
to take a bite from the muffin.
We are just rocking. =)))

Danny was hilarious!
They are basically a bunch
of funny people.
But danny somehow always do
weird movements. (*haha)
And he kept saying the WRONG
thing that make us laugh at him!
*laughs.
He attracts gays.
That's why they call him gay boy,
and there's another nickname
call Dannyny (whtever the spelling suppose
to be).
He quite horny acutally,
I think he's the horniest.
*haaa...

oh! And while we were doing up downs,
we asked him to do push-ups!
haha... ON THE TABLE!
*reason: cannot see if he do on the floor.
and did like 30+ at least.
Wayne has to do with him too!

I think wayne seemed to get bullied the most.
He dance and exercised.
*wow!

I am so motivated by the programme.

They also answered some of our
frequently asked questions.
Like why is it that everytime during
exam our mind just went blank and
somehow cannot remember the things
we studied, but when we finished,
all the information just start coming back.
(when that happens, it is just so irritating,
at least now i know how to prevent it.)

And there was the question about whether
going to JC or poly is a better choice.
Now i know I will be going to JC,
despite the high stress level compared
to Poly.

Anyway....
I want to say a BIG BIG THANKS
to all my trainers!
You people just rawk!!!
*grinx widely.
I bet you have heard this many times,
and it's getting quite clique,
but I still want to say this,
You have made a DIFFERENCE
in my life! =)))))

FREE FREE FREE FREE FREEE!!!!!!!!
*waves hands in the air wildly.
