A TURNOVER

Remember last week I was very down because of not being recognized by the hall. I was sad but I definitely did not expect what actually happened next.

I was so down that I turned to a senior in my hall whom I trust a lot. First of all, it was him who accompanied me to church during my early days in Singapore. He was in choir, a capella and also part of the hallplay committee together with me. So we know each other quite well. I was just hoping for some advice to get over this situation but instead out of my expectations, he actually helped to put my name in the Outstanding Freshman Award nominees. I was shocked and happy as well. I felt really greatful, not so much because of finally being the nominee for the award but much more than that, which is the feeling of being helped by a friend does feel great. I realized I wasn't alone after all.

Special note : "Thank you, Louis" (if you are reading this)

So just being a nominee is enough for me, because at least now I know the hall recognizes my effort and also getting to know a friend who cares.

I was feeling very contented but I found out today that I was one of the finalist for the award.
I was so excited. An email was sent to me to attend the Dinner and Dance event which the prize giving will be held. By the way, I was not the only finalist but together with my other great friends, Ken Juin, Jun Keat and Nicholas. All 3 of them worked with me before. Nicholas, Ken Juin and I worked together to make Malaysian Night a success. Nicholas and I were the Assisstant Manager for Hallplay, Jun Keat was the Marketing Head for Hallplay as well. Ken Juin and I were in choir and a capella together. Jun Keat and I are also the Male Pageant finalist, with Nicholas as our dance choreographer and the Vice-president of Dinner and Dance.For further info, the pageant contest will commence on the same day as the award giving event. Jun Keat, Ken Juin and I are also in the programme department for next year's Hall Orientation committee.

I was so excited to learn that the 3 of them are together with me in the finalist for the Male Outstanding Freshman Award. It was so fun working together with them. And now, we are in this award together. I don't care who wins the award but I feel that this experience is so unpredictable and too coincidental. 3 of them were the ones working along with me most of the time in hall. I really felt happy for them.

Looks like good things had happened more than what I can imagine. I really thank my Father in Heaven for the things he has done in my life.
