the one with his seminar

as the title suggested, i went to the NATIONAL YOUNG LEADERS' DAY that was held today. i was nominated to be one of the student leaders anw...

i woke up at the sound of my hp alarm which was at 6am... had my shower and breakfast (rice n fish)... since i hav to meet the other 8 selected nominees at 8.30, i went out at 7 only n reached the meeting place at 8... too early huh... but hey, at least im getting better in my punctuality... n i have developed a belief that lateness should not be tolerated.. hahaha.. but being the patient guy i am, i dont intend to spoil the mood... in fact, everyone should enjoy the seminar without feeling pressurised that the fact they are student leaders (who are supposed to be punctual)... anyway, there was only one latecomer.... and two ppl didnt come... they told me they had something important :)

the seminar started wif a BANG! a group of breakdancers started to dance around on the platform... showing their breakdancing moves.. n they were really good... reminds me of my time when i used to breakdance alot wif my sec sch mates... now a bit relax... wakaka!

den came out the host who welcomed us... a brief introductory of what will be going on... after that, he introduced the organizer.. a young and vibrant man who is full of energy... i think he's like the chairman of the YLF (young leaders foundation).. he started saying his piece... with a lot of funny slangs... the most prominent one will be the word 'society'... it became 'se sai ty'... n evryone repeated it after he said that word... it was funny.. anw, after tolerating his slanged talking, he introduced us to the first speaker..

Dr William Tan

This guy is great. really. i admired his strength. despite his disability of the leg, he did the most amazing thing when he completed 7 marathons in 7 continents in 70 days. imagine that! well, he rides on the wheelchair and push his wheels from the start until the end of the finishing line. his history was a sad one.... i mean, he couldnt use his legs at the age of 2!! n he still live on... crawling to move around, getting diseases on his legs....
when he went to kindergarten, he was bullied by the other kids.... he told us how one kid smacked his head and den ran away... well, he couldnt chase them but he improved on catching their hands when they were about to smack him.... he told us he bite one of the kid's hand.... hehehe... and den he got expelled... expelled from kindergarten... hehe... he laughed when he told us that... the most amazing part will be the one when he got into RAFFLES INSTITUTION. he dare to dream big... n he did it... for that, i gave him a standing ovation.
