Reversion

(visit Amirul's personal blog here)

I've been stuck on some serious buggered Internet connections, meaning I haven't been online as much as I'd like, haven't blogged on my own blog as much as I'd like, and haven't spammed Carmen on MSN as much as I'd like.

But one thing seems to hit me regardless of who's computer I use, and that's the fact that I can't get the blog to work properly. Myke's changes in integrating the website with the blog is a nice touch but ultimately hollow - a blog's supposed to be a journal. A diary. A weblog.

I'd like to keep the new format, but with complaints of the tagboard (which probably is what most people visiting here want to check out) not working well, the comments-page being missing and the inefficient HTML code being used (but I think some of it's bad JavaScript too, maybe? I dunno), I think it's best we stick to a tried-and-tested simple text+photos blog. I'm changing the design and going old-school blogspot.

Any queries, suggestions or further comments can be posted on the blog, or sent via MSN/email to any of the people you see running this thing. Most probably me.

Early Thoughts

(visit Amirul's personal blog here)

It wasn't too long ago that Talent Time Night was just something at the back of my mind after I received this strange phone call at around 8am by the SAD about having to host something or another.

Then I woke up properly.

"Oh, crap," I thought - and it was a real thought here, pregnant with some serious realizations. Some realizations like, "Bloody hell, I've only been SSSH Rep for a while, I don't know if I'm ready for this!"

Also, I had just missed about an hour of class.

"Oh crap," I thought - and it was a real thought here, pregnant with some serious realizations. Some realizations like, "Bloody hell, if this keeps up, I'll have a CGPA lower than Julia Hoo!"

(Just kidding, of course. Her average isn't all that shabby)

Walking downstairs wearing one of those ridiculous costume-mixups I wore that generally is only seen in certain types of circuses, I knew I had to make some phone calls.

The SSSH SWC hadn't had much of a great record for speedy work (not on my side at least). SSSH Night was left abandoned at the beginning of the semester, something I'm very proud to suggest will take place by this year, and the fundraising had mysterious evaporated. I knew I had to make some phone calls, and fast.

I made some and called for a short meeting of all the SWC heads of department. People like Jeff, Alice, Carmen. Everybody at the meet was very excited. I remembered Mr Yik's initial words: "Do you think you are confident?"

As the meeting finished, I was thinking, hell, yeah. We're going to do it.

And now, with 68 days to go, I'm still thinking, hell, yeah.

A Brief History of: The General Meeting Today

(visit Amirul's personal blog here)

Hey there everybody! Thanks for coming to the meeting today. (For those who were late, extra-thanks! You're all so very generous for paying for my dinner!)

The meet was very last-minute, I know, and even I didn't know it was going to be a full GM until I messaged Winky late yesterday. Thanks for proving your commitment in this very small way by attending a short-notice meet.

Hope you guys had a stellar exam week.

(PS. Anybody got a good picture of me in my Winter Student Communist look? Julia? Myke? Personally I think my color-fashion-coordination has gotten a lot better since the days of Cowboy Hat + Green "Batik" Shirt)
