GLITZ 2010

GLITZ 2010 Award Ceremony for Sports IG

16 June was Glitz, the award ceremony. All Sports IG including martial arts and sports club were attending. The dress code was formal. I was awarded the Merit Award for my participation in RP Aikido IG.

In the Glitz booklet, it said: " The Merit award shall be awarded to any member who has been in the polytechnic team at least 1 full academic year and who may not possess a high standard of skill in the sports, ........." I was demoralized by the quote "may not posses a high standard of skill in the sports." It should be rephrased as displaying moderate/ acceptable standard of skill in the sports.

Despite this problem, I humbly accept the award. I join RP Aikido during at the end of my second year. And it's not even a year I spent in RP Aikido and I got the position of Advisory Captain and participated in Aikido Youth Meet 2009. I am more than enough in RP Aikido, I do not wish for further achivement or medals/ awards , but the achievement of promoting Aikido to RP students and to expand RP Aikido and Aikido Shinjukai. That is more than enough.

Crazy Letterman

David Letterman is the craziest and funniest talk show host ever. In his younger age, he did a lot of craziest stuff like pranks and crazy mission like trying all 52 donuts in Dunkin' Donuts and eating pancakes in the International House of Pancakes. I hope I was the one doing it. haha.

The Elaborative Musician

The Best Conductor of all times !!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr Toh have been one of my teachers that bring inspiration to me. My past events and practices in Dunman Secondary School Choir was surely not a waste of time. It have been fruitful in developing my own character and leadership skills. There were wonderful friends and many memorable activities that I cannot forget. But the Choir will not succeed without the batonship of Mr Toh Ban Sheng.
*******************
Mr Toh is not only a teacher or conductor, but also a excellent mediator and inspirator. As a self-taught musician, Mr Toh always strive for the highest victory, always have the highest hopes for his choirs and students. I remember through my years in Duman Sec Choir, we are constantly improving; Constant Gold in SYF and then two Gold-with-Honors. All choir members are highly inspired and able to sing with gusto and perform with pride. Though his ways of teachings were sometimes strict, there were also times for humor.
********************
"The Accidental Conductor" is the book of the life of Mr Toh, from the first achievements to the Ultimate Victory for him and all his choirs. Browsing through the book while sitting down for a cup of coffee, you will felt the way of music flowing quiet and then crescendo. It shows Mr Toh as the personification of everlasting perseverance and great devotion to music. It is a small book great in music wisdom and excellence.

The Pug that talks !!!

My favorite dog is the pug. I believe it is the most cute dog ever, second being bulldog or pekingese. I love their flat and muzzled face, they was said to originated from the Chinese. The philosopher Confucius decribed the dog as a short-mouthed dog. I also love their expressive pair of eyes.

I came across a section from David Letterman: Stupid Pet Tricks. A pug can say I love u. Very cool.
