1st day out of Australia

Hm... finally i am out of Australia after almost a year there without seeing any family members. Hope i will make use of my one month in Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei to visit all my relatives and freinds.

Well now, i am at singapore at stiener's place. sleeping over.... :D. met his mum quite a funny person though... her mum.... and also very freindly... i guess most importantly it is not that about that in my trip. i have been eating all day with stiener and candice. thanks to them i go to so many food centre and shop for my blur queen, yoyo present. It was a pretty hard decision to make espaically for someone you love.... this will be her first birthday i goona celebrate with her and hopefully not the last one.

Hope she will love my present for her. It is nothing big or fancy but it is my heart to her. A gift that mean more than just a gift. A gift that mean my love and my promises to her. A gift that mark the beginning of our relationship evolution, from strangers to hopefully eternally together.

MSG to my Yoyo:- You may not be my first love or my first gf, but you certianly is the gal i love now. no one can your destiny and fate for being love by me. i know it seem strange to everyone, how can i be sure that i really love you when we just got to know each other for like not more than 3 months. But i certianly think time is not a matter but just a number. this few months knowing you really give me a chance to open up myself once agian and cheerish something more than just myself or to take a different pathway to add you into my life. every decision i made i have to think about u and how u will feel. further my study, where am i going to be when i finish, where should we stay in the future etc. It might be a big change but i think it is worth it because you are not a normal type of gal that i can find just anyway i want. but of the the kind who knows how to care about a person when you needed to, understand me, presuade me, nice and sweet to me and many more which make you special. i relaly miss you, just a short two day apart i have make more than 20 calls within 48 hours and talk to you on the phone for more than 5hours. i guess now is a good time to train ourselve up for it and i beleive we can overcome it.

tomolo i will be back to my hometown, Tutong, brunei and really don't know how it look like after one year but i guess should be more the less the same. update everyone!!! soon... bye for now

Ending My Reign and Exam

Time has fly so fast. It was at this time last year, i am preparing myself as isc convenor 2004 and now i have to give up all the expectation and hope. I was told that i shouldn't expect my incoming committee that they will countinue some of my expectation. Well i guess i have to say it is true now after one year of figthitng hoping it won't be true.

I feel very disappointed sometime in the sense that, none of them really believe in the bureaucratic way of doing things. Sometimes, i feel it is a lost cost to actually do so much becuase no one actually acknowledged all your effort. Worst feeling is that, they don't believe you should get involved in thier wild fresh useless ideas sometimes. I feel that we have gone through that same phrase sometimes that they have to understand that that is what we as honourary members exists and don't wish to see our works go down under.

For example, a five year strategic plan is indeed a reasonable plan that a strong organisation should have to grow. We have to learn to give up the selfishness of just doing well for our term and forget about how our members in the future will benefits from it. i feel such behavioural is unacceptable and is not professional. Secondly, the rules and regulations of the committee, it is not to be said that only big issues or common factor should be add in rules and regulations but also unexepected circumstances.

We represent the benefits of international students interest not only those who are currently studying but also those who are going to study in the campus in the future. If every year, the committee decided not to have any long term achievement so that the students can benefits from it, there is no point we has a peak represenative body exists because we are just like all those international students clubs. The whole point, we differentiated ourselves from them is becuase we are more structured and have long-term and strong representation ground to support us as a representative body.

Over my period of one year, i am sad to say that i were not able to make use of my term wisely to presue everything i wish to achieve due to my slack behaviour and lack of communication with my officer. It was not only that but also i should blame myself for the huge drop out rate over the months.

Well that all, i can say. i know TIFFANY will do well to ensure the organisation grow and expand properly. i feel it is time that i let go and concentrated my new interest on my guild and ensuring it work closely with all the department and not only ISC. Although ISC is my blood now but i guess if i keep interrupting the way they wish to run, i will just destory the purpose of letting Tiffany be the convenor. Her capability is more that just anyone could imagine. She is so great that i see that under her leadership those people will ensure the ISC will expand and grow for years to come even under the VSU.

MSG for my Pretty Tiffy, It has been a pleasure to work with you this year. it might not the the greatest moment of your time but it certianly is mine. i know many of my plans doesn't seem to work 100% well for you due to different opinions but we have always come the same conclusion for the better of student representation. i know till now, 5 year plan to you is a NO thing but i hope you will reconsider the whole aspect of how professionalism and ensure ISC will not be destory even under VSU which will be a hell of the year, you have to fight in your term... thanks to the Liberal Party winning the majority of the senate seats in the elections. BEST of LUCK okie Dear!!!!!

As to all the incoming if you do read my blog, Next year will seem to be the new age of ISC golden era after the regime of Sia family in 2000 and 2001, where ISC was aknowledged by university for the first time for whole of ISC history. CHECK OUT THE CERT in the office. I couldn't have stress more, you GALS certianly are capable of a lot things all over the committee with different talents, i hope all of you will make use of it. Cetianly i will still stress, never to limit your goals and expectation to just your year but broaden it up and create the start of a new culture. All expect more than what you can achieve because it always better to ahve more than less.

SO BYE TO ISC Convenor 2004 term for me and well if anyone need any help feel free to drop by my General Secretary Office in the Guild for a chat.....

That the end of my ISC Term.... As for my exam... good news is that my tutor increase my mark from 7/20 to 14/20.... told you, he is a bastard for scaring me like that. So far i have finished 3 exams and i feel pretty confident that i should have no probelm to finish my degree by summer 2005. It has been a hell tough time for me espaically it is for the first time i was lost with what i want to do when i graduated. I guess most importantly i have to thanks all my friends around me espaically my one and only one Yoshiko..... she has been so great over the past 2 months. Without her, i don't think i can survive all the fall that i have encounter over this period. Although we cannot be together now, but i believe in you and myself, fate and destiny will pull us together one day. When its' come i hope with will be eternal, because you are just one of the most gorgeous person i ever meet over my entire life.

My special msg to you is that, Thanks for the wonderful time you have spent with me eventhough you are busy with your study and MCW. You have showed me the gateway to several success over the short period of times and always be there for me. Not only so, you are also a great cook, great person to be with, good listener, and most importantly, you don't hate me after all this while for what i have make you gone through. LET OUR DESTINY AND FATE GUIDE OUR PATH TO AN ETERNAL LOVE RELATIONSHIP.

........Opsss.... Forget about my acknowledgement, without all of you like Naomi, Huey Ying, Tiffany, Phang, Joey, Nicole, Candice, David, Stiener, Kenny and many more............ Jacky Teo will not be The Jacky Teo if you all never show up.......

Love you Guys and Gals,
Jackz
