Last Saturday on the 19th of April, I was deeply honoured to be awarded the Special Service Award by Nanyang Junior College. I was given the award because my my past four years of service to the college. I was quite surprised to hear that I was going to receive this award when Mr Victor Tan told me about it. When I arrived at the college, Mr Tan escorted me to my seat which was in the VIP section. We did a bit of catching up and also met my fellow Nanyang Alumni Association ExCo members. Soon the event started. I was the first name to be announced with a citation and the vice-princiapl stood up to show me to the stage. I was so thankful to all of them for making me feel so welcome at NYJC. Indeed, I'll never regret my decision to have gone to that JC. Even after so many years I still feel so welcome. And I'll be going to facilitate at the NYJC Leadership Training Camp this year again! So exciting!

Met Major John today. He patiently listened to me and as usual, gave me new perspectives and very good advice. He told me that as a leader, I should not only be able to solve technical problems but also problems that start to affect me personally. That in a higher position, I should find better, more mature solutions to problems as I carry more responsibility. There were so many learning moments for me in that short session with him. :)

All the UGs at Montfort Sec have been working very hard to make this Saturday's Founder's Day a highly successful one and I'm confident that due to everyone's hard work, this founder's day could be our best one yet. Two more days....

So exhausted now but so much more work left to be done...
