CNY outing

Dear CNY outing committee!

chairman: Rui Han

vice-chairman: Janicia

coordinator: Zhen Wei

games designers: Francesca and Serene

treasurer & logistic: Cheryl and Serene

A job WELL DONE! Let us give all of you a BIG PAT on your shoulders! :D

The outing was a very successful one, despite a little hiccup at the end when the food was delivered late (which isn't the committee's fault) and so bbq was pretty rush..

The committee, headed by Rui Han, had done a brilliant job in the planning. 

To those who have burned their days and nights for the past month or so trying to put together the proposals, coordinating all the admin and preparatory work, and punching numbers on the phone to inform everyone, a big THANK YOU for the hard work! They've definitely paid off!

We're sure this outing had done a wonderful job in bonding the Corp and bringing the different Years closer together. And we hope this spirit and enthusiasm will continue in every one of you!

love,

us

Attitudes

Attitude,
is more important than education,
than money, than circumstances,
than failures, than successes,
than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.
It will make or break a company a church a home.

We have a choice everyday,
regarding the attitude we embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past.
We cannot change the fact that people act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.

The only thing we can do is play on the one thing we have, and that is our Attitude.

Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.

And so it is with you we are in charge of our ATTITUDES.
-Charles Swindoll

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in an ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. - Mother Teresa

Think it Right!

Think it Right!

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you don't.

If you'd like to win, but think you can't,

it's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world we find,

success begins with a fellow's will.

It's all in the state of mind!

If you think you're outclassed, you are.

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself

before you'll ever win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go

to the strongest or faster man.

But sooner or later the man who wins

is the person who thinks he can!

Only by going too far can one possibly find out how far one can go.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

ViviAmo!

2008 is here! Happy New Year!

Together, let's bring ZHSJ to greater heights!

Wishing all in our big ZHSJ family a Great Year ahead!

ViviAmo!

"It Depends on Us... Another year lies before us like an unwritten page, an unspent coin, an unwalked road. What the pages will read, what treasures will be gained in exchange for time, or what we find along the way, will largely depend on us."

at the beginning

At the Beginning

We were strangers starting out on our journey
Never dreaming what we'd have to go through
Now here we are and I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me I was going to find you
Unexpected what you did to my heart
When I lost hope you were there to remind me
This is the start

(chorus)
And Life is a road and I want to keep going
Love is a river I want to keep flowing
Life is a road now and forever
A wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

(chorus)

I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know that my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

(chorus)

In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you

Set Yourself Free

Set Yourself Free

Set yourself free from anything that might hinder you in becoming the person you want to be.
Free yourself from the uncertainties about your abilities or the worth of your dreams, from the fears that you may not be able to achieve them or that they won't be what you wanted.

Set yourself free from the past. The good things from yesterday are still yours in memory; the things you want to forget you will, for tomorrow is only a sunrise away.
Free yourself from regret or guilt, and promise to live this day as fully as you can.

Set yourself free from the expectations of others, and never feel guilty or embarrassed if you do not live up to their standards.
You are most important to yourself; live by what you feel is best and right for you. Others will come to respect your integrity and honesty.

Set yourself free to simply be yourself, and you will soar higher than you've ever dreamed.

Life is not a map, that's why we're free..

ViviAmo!

High

High

When you're close to tears remember
Someday it'll all be over
One day we're gonna get so high

Though it's darker than december
What's ahead is a different colour
One day we're gonna get so high

And at the end of the day remember the days
When we were close to the end
And wonder how we made it through the night
At the end of the day we remember the way
We stayed so close to the end
We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep it flying high in the skyOf love

Don't you think it's time you started
Doing what we always wanted
One day we're gonna get so high

Cause even the impossible
Is easy when we got each other
One day we're gonna get so high

And at the end of the day remember the days
When we were close to the end
And wonder how we made it through the night
At the end of the day remember the way
We stayed so close to the end
We'll remember it was me and you

Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

Cause we are gonna be forever you and me
You will always keep it flying high in the sky
Of love

High, high, high, high....

Our DEAREST teams,

The time is here again for FAC!

No stress, no fret. Winning or losing will not be our priority in the National FAC, what matters most is the experience you'll get out of it.
Just perform to your standard and have fun!

We have made history before in NFAC, but do not see that as a burden to anyone of you. More often than not, luck plays a very significant role in such competitions. Hence, the outcome here is not that important. Just enjoy the process, as it may be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most of you.

At the end of the day, we are proud of each and every one of you, both the teams and the supporters! All the best! :D

ViviAmo!

Value

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"

Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20."

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

You are special - Don't ever forget it!
