What to say of the talent development progamme(TDP)?
Nothing but surprises.
Hell, there's so much to say but i don't know where to start.
Maybe the biggest surprise would suffice.
So today was the end of the 3 day seminar. They had an interesting segment, which was to give 'awards' to participants for certain categories.
There was the 'most likely to change world' award, 'most positive outlook person', most energetic? or something like that.
Well there was a few awards but i can't remember all the categories. So the first was most positive outlook or something along that line. According to the facils, it's awarded to the most positive person, the person who like smiles most of the time and stuff like that. So a girl called Joyce got awarded the first prize. Then drumroll... the second person.
Which turned out to be me.
Wow. People who know me since secondary school would sorely disagree with the decision to give me that recognition.
And i wouldn't blame them. I am grumpy most times. I'd say that's a part of me naturally, be it bad. I guess by attending TDP, a totally new environment it meant that past expectations of me were gone. Starting with a blank sheet, heh(inside joke).
Oh and i'm taking up NYAA i think. Gold. Well at least i'm trying and willing to do something to boost my credentials for future scholarship interviews. Honestly though, i wouldn't even bother to do something humongous like that without the backing and similar undertaking with some newly accquired friends from TDP. They're even setting up a friendster group for all of us from the programme who are trying for gold, to make accomplishment of tasks easier.
Wow, so awesome. I mean i've found friends who are easy to click with. Some of these people take the same bus route as me(which is rare) and really, it's awesome. Maybe the 'high' of the programme hasn't died down yet to reveal the reality of life but i think possibilities for these friendships i've made are many.
I've made friends with an Anglican; and not that i'm holding that against her, just that it's good to make friends even of different denominations though i forsee many debates and friends with many other intriguing people. Sadly they're of different schools. Oh well.
But if it's one thing i've gained from this seminar, it's drive.
I've re-ignited my drive to get kick-ass awesome GPA. I want to make myself the poster-boy of BFS; need to get top grades for that. I want to make myself known, to be active in cca.
I want to do so many things.
Suddenly, 3 years seem like such a short time.
