Hello.below is the back design of CNNY 2011 CCA shirt.

above is the front design of 2011 CNNY CCA shirt.

I am not sure what colours you all want but that one we can do later. Let's just settle with the shirt design first.

Please give comments on what you do not like about the shirt, i can send you the picture and you can edit the shirt to what all of you will be happy with:) i just want to make sure that all of you will be willing to wear the shirt. I hope that everyone will wear CCA shirt during important events and not giving excuses like the shirt is too ugly so i don't want to wear.

just tag on the tagboard or sms me your comments if you know my number.

Thankyou very much!

Hello! Last year, a group of CNNY excos went for the mediacorp attachment. They are Si Hui, Cheryl, Geok Tin, Yufei, Kangzhi and me. Its was really a fun and thrilling experince for us! The first day when we went to the mediacorp chinese news office, we received a warm welcome from all the people working there. They were really friendly and took care of us. Some of them even took us around the mediacorp building to visit different departments( channelnewsaisa, channel 5, radio station etc)We get to follow the reporters around to watch them at work. We also visited the makeup room where the celebrities and news broadcaster go and have their make up. As the time when we went for this mediacorp attachment was during festive season, there were many different kinds of food that were available in the office. The food was very delicious!We also get to watch the live news broadcasting and able to feel the tense atmosphere when the news was about to air but some reporters have not finish with their set of news. This experience is really memorable for us as we have never experience something like this before. We also learn various skills during our one-week attachment in the mediacorp Chinese News Department that includes transcripting, videography techniques, how a news works and many more! We learnt that news making is not as easy as many of us though it would be so i hope that future batches of CNNY will also get to go for mediacorp attachment and help to push our CCA to greater heights!

Feelings of a new exco member (:

2009-06-11T22:14:00.002+08:00

Hi all!

This is my first time here! I'm Jin Xia, deputy head of logistics. It feels weird being part of the new exco, as we've only been in CNNY for a few months. Hope everyone can work hand in hand together and do as well, if not better than, what our seniors have done!

Those who ran but did not get into exco, we sincerely hope you won't feel too disappointed, and please don't quit. CNNY needs you to be in it. Like what Yi Ping said, we are a whole, regardless of members or excos. Things will get more exciting in the coming months, and we hope you won't miss out on the fun. :D

Anyway, jiayou to everyone and study hard for mid-years :P

signing off,

JINXIA

A senior from cnny, joanne chen (06-07 batch) appreciates the efforts made by cnny in her university project. Below is her letter of appreciation.

To CNNY :

CNNY-ers! Hope school has been treating all well and you are still enjoying your life in NY! I missed mine back then, so I hope you all are experiencing Nanyang and especially CNNY to the FULLEST!.

Project G.A.M.E is an initiative by team Texas from Singapore Management University, in which, onc of our senior, Joanne Chen (06-07 batch) was part of the team. Nanyang Junior College, Channel News Nanyang is proud to be one the main supporters and sponsors for this event. Project G.A.M.E – Good And Meaningful Experience, is a project aim to raise the awareness amongst upper primary and secondary school students to adverse effects of excessive gamming and in doing so, invite participants to pledge to game less and strive for a healthy balanced lifestyle. The event, a talk-cum game session took place at Radin Mas Primany School and Bedok South Secondary School, and we are glad to see the success of the event.

Team Texas is extremely appreciative towards Channel News Nanyang, Mr Cheng, and especially the director, Yi Ping and the head videographer, Benny and his team mates for their help and assistance in helping us film a short clip for our sponsor, Fei Yue Counseling Service. It was a pleasant experience once again to be able to work with fellow juniors, and see the CCA grow. Texas is pleased with the results of the filming, however, due to some unforeseeable circumstances, the original idea that was conceived could not be carried out as desired, henceforth there was a change of plans. Nevertheless, Texas was honored to engage CNNY in helping us to do much of the filming and lending us the equipments. We would also like to thank CNNY for your invaluable advice in this film making process, they have been constructive ones and have benefited us much.

Once and again, team Texas would like to express our greatest gratitude towards the enthusiasium and help that CNNY has offered us towards making Project G.A.M.E a success. Hereby, on behalf of my team, I would like to wish all CNNY members a bright future ahead and all the best for coming GCE ‘A’ level.

Party Updates.

2008-12-30T23:51:00.021+08:00

Dear everyone,
this post consists of highly important details on the party on 9th Jan!!

Please read carefully to get all the necessary information. (If you miss out anything, Sher and I won't be held responsible, haha.)

& try your best not to overwrite this post. If you really really need to overwrite, please make a note on your post to notify the existence of this very important post.

So, after a month of meticulous planning by yours truly and our dearest Shermaine, we have come up with this really nice plan. It's gonna be so fun.

ONE IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE: DO NOT SHOP FOR THE GIFT YET. WE'LL DO SHOPPING ON THAT DAY ITSELF, AFTER KNOWING WHO OUR GIFT WILL BE FOR. =)

Meeting day & time: 9th Jan, Fri, 2pm.
Meeting venue: Dhoby Ghaut MRT control station.
Events:
#1. Dining @ Lao Beijing at Plaza Sing from 3pm to 5pm*
#2. Heading to a secret place with free admission (This is damn cool.)
#3. Gift exchange. Shopping at Plaza Sing.
Ending time: Approx. 10+ pm
* Rachel and Dinglun can join us for #2 and #3 since you guys will come late.

Alright. Thats about all.
Secretive = Fun = Exciting.

If you've already bought the gift, then never mind lor. Can always accompany others to shop. I mean can't prob ask you to throw away/ refund right.. unless you dont mind buying another one and keeping the original one for own use. Haha.

Most importantly, Sher has given up hope on receiving smses and emails.
So we shall just stick to our tagboard.
Please acknowledge at the tagboard if you've read this post, understood fully & wanna join in the fun.
All are welcome.

Cheers,
Lihui. (With the spirit of Sher, her body has gone playing comp games with her sis.)

Mediacorp Attachment -- 2nd Batch

2008-12-23T18:41:00.014+08:00

In the first day, benny and jolyn were busy searching for articles written overseas, repackaged it and post it on xin.sg. They managed to post something written quite well!

The other three were kept busy by doing transcript. Mine was rather challenging, because the interviewee could hardly be understood. In the afternoon, Karen followed a reporter and went outdoor, so lucky… so left with charlene and I doing whole day of transcript.

At 6.30pm, the remaining four of us in the office went to watch their studio. Very cool! The 主播 have to get a lot of cues from the 导播, so it wasn’t just reading from the text machine. Audience would see the very glamorous looking 主播 on tv, but at the studio, we got to see the other side of them…oops.

Our studio is always packaged beforehand. Theirs’ is totally live. They just need to press a button and a template will be played, or the current view will be changed to another view. When the commercial break is about to end, someone will say, ‘standby’. 导播 will then say 10secs…10,9,8…1, then another person will press a button and the view will change from advertisement back to news. 导播 also got shout ‘CG up’ and ‘lose CG’ etc.

The control room of the studio.

Second morning arrived. Benny and jolyn, once again stayed in the office. Karen and I were listening to reporter 梁凯欣 explaining about the current news she was handling, and she also introduced the kind of news broadcasted at different time of the day.

Kaixin explaining about news stuffs

After kaixin’s explanation, we were back to transcript.

Looks professional eh?

In the afternoon, Charlene came. Both of us followed 张颂景 to some kind of welfare for physically disabled. The topic itself was already quite boring. Nevertheless, we were glad that it was a great exposure for us. We got to see how the reporter expands news and how the cameraman got his footages even though he wasn’t allowed to film the faces there.

Songjing doing ptc

Meanwhile, Karen followed kaixin; benny and jolyn were still in the office…

Beginning to feel sian...

Third day was the most exciting day for me. I did not go to the office after I reached mediacorp, instead, I went straight to the camera unit. It was a place where all cameramen could be found. Everyday, the reporters would book a slot in the mediacorp website, and then cameramen who are free at that time would be arranged to the same slot as the reporter. For your information, camera unit has 39 cameramen and 40+ giant cameras.

The cameraman, teufex, drove me to tuas via mediacorp car. Tuas ave 14, a new place located at the end of Singapore. Therefore, the cameramen took a very long time to find that place. Haha. Reporter 吴俍祥 was already waiting at the venue. After the shooting at the first location, we went to the second location, a pub at orchard. And I got my free lunch, worth $20 fish & chips, very nice!

Nice fish and chips, it's free!

Liangxiang doing ptc

An interview at a pub

Learning from the cameraman

The tripod is super heavy, shoulder pain.

After that, I went back to office transcripting. Liang xiang passed the tapes to the people in the ingestion section. Ingestion = capturing the image from tapes to computer.

Ingestion Machine

At 6pm, all five of us went to the editing room to see the mediacorp people doing editing. Reporters who know how to edit can edit themselves; those who do not know how to edit will let the people in the editing room do the editing.

Editing software, 'Aurora Edit'

From back: 5 of us, editor, liangxiang

Later, we went to watch 6.30pm news again.

Guess who is the person standing beside charlene?

He brought us around mediacorp.

So, after watching 6.30pm news at the studio again, we went for a tour around mediacorp.

A new history, 3 news broadcasters!

The girls are on tv!

Wink... 2 more new male broadcasters.

A quite stupid short video.

So many lights ^_^

Hey, why are we standing at the door?

Ohh, the corridor and the door are just props! : )

The 服装室

Radio Station, on air.

End of tour

Last day of the week. I followed Huang Wei Jing to subordinate court. In the court, there were glass walls separating the audience and the admin people. Within the glass, there was a judge, lawyers and police officers. Reporters sat inside too, so I was sitting within the glass, one row behind police officers and lawyers.

One guy sitting on my left suddenly tapped on my shoulder.
"You are a reporter?"
" Reporter Intern."
"Interpreter?!"
"Reporter."
And he ended off with," wa...you are very young." He then walked off. LOL

That's the end of the first week. Second week isn't up yet. The rest shall post more for now. =)

Outhing Post 3, Final Details

2008-12-23T10:00:00.002+08:00

YEO LI HUI IS GONE. She has left me all alone to decide on the date :'(

& since it's a fight between 6th & 9th, I'd go with 9th since Dinglun will be back on that day!!

Lunch will be at Dimsum Buffet at Lao Beijing, Plaza Singapura~ :) The hi-tea buffet is from 3-5pm, with last order at 4.30pm, and its about $10+ each.

THe whole list of food available can be found HERE.

For gift exchange, we will do a random generation, and post up the details(e.g who you're getting the gift for) in the next post. But before that can be done, I need to confirm attendance, so everyone, please sms/email me to confirm your attendance by 26th December. Please please please co-operate kay? :) Tags will be ignored cuz you all spam so much I might miss out on someone :(

XOXO
Shermaine ^^

P.S. I'll message Yiping & all J2s to let them know of the existence of this post.

ARE YOU THIRSTY?

"What if i did? What if i told you to take me to Vegas now? Would I be a vampire in three days?"

"So eager for eternal damnation?"

Outing post (collated results)

2008-12-14T14:51:00.009+08:00

Dear all, votings are now closed & below are the results.... though you can probably see them already haha :)

Since the most votes were for any date. We'll consider the following dates in this order...

2nd, Friday
6th, Tuesday
3rd, Saturday
9th, Friday
5th, Monday

Secondly, our activity would most likely be to have a buffet since it gathered the most votes (awww, Lihui!!!)

The gift budget would be around $10-15! We'll post details about how to carry that out soon, so.. start saving up if you're broke! :)

Sadly, there's to be another round of voting for the buffet venue because there's a tie! Seems like we all have different tastes....

Do take note that since we've decided on buffet, it'd probably be lunch since most places don't offer dinner buffet (okay they do but it's all VERY expensive haha)

Polls- Please vote!

2008-12-06T15:13:00.029+08:00

Dear all, here's the long awaited.... Gathering polls! :)

Reason: Teddy asked the seniors to plan an outing. So, we've decided it to be a NEW YEAR PARTY!

So: Lihui & I have come up with some suggestions.... and you guys get to vote! Aren't we nice :) :) :)

P.S: This party is OPEN TO ALL.

i.e. Including the seniors and any member who frequent the cnny blog.

(Yeah, don't be shy. Just vote!)
And for easier admin work, do tag at the tagboard after voting!!

Alright. Now that you've finish voting, please inform us at the tagboard. :)

That's kinda like our plan for gathering.... we'll finalise details after polls close in a week's time! (like next saturday haha) Anyone who's willing to lend us your house/ has other suggestions, please tag the board alright? :) :)

Gift Exchange Rules
There are basically no rules! Except that your gift is not for a specific someone. It's kinda like we buy gifts, wrap it, and then dump them into a big bag and grab one item from the bag or something hahaha. Or.... you'd prefer other ways? (so that no guys will get a barbie & cry cuz lihui say one) Tag to let us know!! :) Haha this sounds like an advert...

Okay credits to Lihui for making all the polls. Remember, poll will close next saturday! Remind everyone to vote!! Benny will be back by then right? If not then he too bad hehe :X

Luv, Sher & Lihui ^^

终于！我终于上来了！！

2008-12-05T14:17:00.011+08:00

天哪！这是我第一次上来post。。。真的是要感谢

Kenwyn！！！教我怎么上

来。。。。谢谢啦！！呵呵~以下是我和Kenwyn在新

传媒呆的最后一天所写

的。。。。自己看啦！

（吴晓彤) 为期两个星期的实习马上就要结束了，心

中充满了种种不舍与感激，不舍在这里交到的朋

友，感激他们所传授的知识与技巧。虽然这次的实

习只有短短的两个星期，但我真的获益匪浅！撰

稿、剪辑、录音、对镜报道，这一切的一切，看

似、听似

简单，但其中的技巧与心思，确是不可忽视的！制

作新闻的时间虽然很赶，但在大家

的共同努力下，一则则真实的新闻在电视上播出

了！真是让人兴奋！

在实习的第一个星期，我跟随了几名新传媒记者外

出实地采访。兴奋、紧张、欣喜之

余，还掺杂着点点的骄傲！毕竟，那是我第一次跟

随记者外出，公众投来的那种好奇

的目光，让我的内心产生了一种奇妙的感觉。我觉

得，记者们真的是很了不起！在短

短的时间内记住自己对镜报道的内容、临场反映提

出针对性的问题、面对一切的难

题，他们都要做出正确的判断。在电视上看起来严

肃的记者们私下却也是那么的友

善，跟他们相处的日子里充满了欢笑！

在以前，我一直想当一位主播，因为我觉得主播是

一件很轻松的工作，但自从我去了

主播室，看了主播是怎样工作后，我对他们便肃然

起敬！主播真的是不容易，要一心

三用，听指示、读稿、还要掌握好时间，能在突发

情况下做出相对的应变。虽说是主

播，但有时他们也要担任起记者的工作，外出采

访，真的是不简单！

接下来的一个星期，我跟新动网，帮他们选稿、外

出做娱乐新闻，我真的觉得自己好

幸运，学到了太多太多的经验与技巧！最让我难忘

的是，有一次，我代表新动网到新

传媒的化妆室去采访一部新戏的演员。这是我第一

次与艺人做近距离的接触，访问他

们，那种感觉真的是前所未有的！原来，当记者的

感觉是这样啊！我还有幸跟随新动

网的记者去采访了郭富城，真是让我欣喜万分！

我想，我真的是很幸运，有幸到新传媒实习，这次

所学到的经验，我将获用终生！

（司徒健勤）在我跟随新动网的时候，我负责从各

大网站上找娱乐新闻。本来，我以为是一项容易的

工作，但事实却恰恰相反，要注意到很多小小的细

节如：艺人在新受

欢迎的程度、新闻的切入点等等。在这段时间，我

还有幸去参加了《海角七号》的记

者会，跟范逸臣、林晓培和田中千绘，做了近距离

的接触。在新动网的记者访问他们

的时候，我意识到了记者在提问时时候，是怎样连

接不同的问题的，是怎样引导受访

者讲出自己想要的重点的。从他们身上，我真的学到了很多的经验。

与艺人的访问不同，实事新闻组的受访者一般没有

准备自己的讲稿，大多都是临场发

挥，讲求事实。在我跟新闻记者的那段日子里，我

发觉到记者们在去事发地的时候，

都会想好要拍什么样的画面，而不同的画面又要跟

什么样的稿。最后，两者合二为

一，经过完美的搭配，才能完成一则完整的新闻。

这次的实习中，我得到了很多亲自体验的经历，像

是用他们的仪器来剪辑画面，实地

拍摄，等等。这样的感觉真的是很酷！

L3K filming + prom night!

2008-12-04T22:18:00.013+08:00

Yay i'm here again! Ok so apparently, my previous post wasn't my "one and only". Haha isn't that great?? *everyone cheers*

So proud of our L3K team for doing such a good job! Continue to jiayou! As moral support, their very nice (ahem?) seniors went to visit them filming and also played calefares. =)

Time past and the sky got dark as the sun sets...

Yay and finally production for the day was done, it's time for group photos! =D

Oopx where's rachel?? Haha don't hide behind teddy!

***

After a good day's rest, we headed down to Hilton hotel for our prom night! And off we go into a frenzy night of phototaking~

Tada~ Half of 07'-08' excos

Managed to catch huyang as the party came to an end =)

Our dear rachel's so pretty & sophisticated, i almost couldn't recognise her when she first greeted me! =)

Thank you all for giving me these lovely memories on this special night! =)

Loves,
Jasmine

An Unplanned Rendezvous At A Foreign Country

2008-12-02T01:58:00.003+08:00

Very coincidental. I went to beijing and shanghai for my lep scholars' trip. One afternoon at beijing, bejing university to be more precise, I met lynette, cnny director of the second batch. I have never seen her before, neither does she. So, it was quite surprising for me.

A photo taken at 未名湖 of the beijing university

Another photo taken outside the conference room.

Unexpected encounter during my lep trip... :)

Spick and Span

2008-11-06T21:00:00.002+08:00

Today, cnny room has become neat and tidy!

A process that lasted the whole day - cleaning in progress. Sweeping the floor, mopping the floor, great effort spent in making it less sandy. Wipe with water, wipe with soap, wipe with water again and again. The floor welcomes you with its shiny appearance; the chairs are always ready to serve you; a brand new fan awaiting you with its cooling breeze.

Please feel free to visit the room, everyone. most importantly, I must thank karen and jiahui for spending the whole day cleaning, thanks a million! : )

cheers,
yiping

End of Trainings For 2008

2008-10-23T22:47:00.002+08:00

Hello to all once again!

The CCA trainings for this year has ended yesterday, thank you to all who have attended the last training session. Like what the trainers have said, "this batch produces the most videos and the best videos," so this is actually a good ending for this year's training.

We all see that everyone, excos and members, have been putting in a lot of efforts in the roving dv and dv campus. Starting from planning, scripting, filming till editing, all of you played a crucial role to produce very nice news clips for your groups. Everyone took turns in making the production possible even though we were also working hard for promos. Without the assistance from you members, the excos would not be able to pull through during the production period. Thank you very much!

Due to the different topics, many groups encountered different kinds of experiences. For example, groups doing on health camp had to rushed with the time and capture as much footages as possible since it was a one-off event; holistic health groups had to be thick-skinned and barge into the many sports training to do the filming and in some cases requested them to act out some parts; last group doing on food recycling faced many obstacles as their topics kept changing until september (from "The Hunt" to "PE Enrichment" to "sports carnival" and eventually "food recycling" ). Lastly, the only group that participated in the grandpa/grandma competition for Stomp had did a great job for this video production, it is natural and touching.

I'm glad to announce that all the above clips have been completed and almost all submitted. Let's sit back and relax for the time being and enjoy our holiday. We shall await for possible good news next year when the results are ready.

Next year's cca training will be internalised, no more external trainers for the start of year. Be prepared, it's going to be more fun and interesting! And our cnny own made "NY Nonstop" studio production next year which the news we filmed will be broadcasted on all the tvs in the college.

We look forward to your attendance next year! Once again, thanks for your participation and enthusiasm put in cnny this year.

Cheers,
yiping

Pictures For Farewell Day.

2008-07-13T11:50:00.037+08:00

Hello all!
Because all of us missed the song dedication i posted on 93.3FM's blog last week, I'd resent another dedication today.
But because it's kinda screwed up, I am not very sure if they'll read it out today. It was very last minute.
But still, if possible, stay tuned to the radio TONIGHT, from 9 to 10pm.
I hope they'll read it out (:

Hmms, btw, the fact that I'm here means the photos are ready for viewing!
As usual, you can find them on CNNY's friendster. <-- Linked. (Those are after QC, no worries.)

FYI,
we very 'diligently' took 246 pictures yesterday!
As jas suggested, including those snapped from other cameras, it'll easily total up to over 300 of them!
Cheers, we lived up to our camwhore's reputation. Hahahs.

Here are some of the pretty nice group photos:

The very friendly Captain Ball's match.

They were reluctant, but i managed to snap this eventually.

Rachel's group. (:

Zuosheng's the reason why we should play captain's ball
(with him in our team, of course!)

And this is my team. We are good lor (:

And yes, they won. (Because of Zuosheng.)

See the balloons? They were from Karen and Charlene.
We have niccce juniors!!

3 Teams became 1.

And we were early, so we camwhored.

The third attempt. They said the other two aren't nice.

The exco. With XX missing :(

And XX finally returned, so tada~
Girls' Power.
Presenting to you: Cnny Exco '07-'08

This is the biggest group photo.
Cnny exco, '07-'08 + '08-'09
Missing: Daniel & YeeTing :(

And here are some nice random shots, enjoy!

See, reporters can film!

Oh classic. Our favourite board.

Random scribbles on a random paper found on CCA room's table.
Randomness is nice.

Our trademark: ~~Gambling.~~
Playing professional Big 2.

Hahahs! Huyang, don't killl me.

The cameraman's emoing because he got no friends.
His friends were all playing the very amazing race.

A nice scenery I spotted while playing water bombs.

And yeah, MR CHENG visited us after all the bombings!!

And finally, the couple keychain for Yiping&Kenwyn.
They sticked like paper, according to Rach.
Funny description larh!

And this one is my personal favourite:

It reads: In the highest floor where there is warmth;
In the darkest corner, where you'll see the light.

And no doubt, that's our CCA room!!

Freakin' touching and very true.
Wonder who came up with this statement.

And here are some sad news:
#1. I don't have much of ex-ex-exco's pictures.
Any of you with these pictures please upload them on Cnny's friendster yeah?
#2. I forgot my very amazing race present. Someone must have stolen mine! Hahahs.
#3. Hongchen and I have reserved the grey bottles from Canadian Pizza but forgot to take them. So j1 exco, kindly pass it to us when you see us. laugh out loud.
#4. We forgot to pass Zuosheng the XXL's CCA tee! kuku right?! Haish.
Wonder when's the next time we see him. So yeah, Zuosheng, if you're reading this, I am implying that you must come back again!!
#5. This may be my last post on Cnny's blog, or at least for the upcoming months. This explains why I posted some of the pictures on the blog and wrote captions for each of them.
But more importantly, there must be someone who's taking over this pictures-uploading job.
So yeah, j1 exco, who's as patient/competent as me? Hahahahs. Just kidding la.

Once again,
yesterday was a blast. (yes, Yiping, it was!)
We especially like the choice of the final destination-The place we are so so familiar of, where we feel warmth and love!
Thank you everyone who was present (:

Alright,
Think I shall end here.
I am so eagerly waiting for Jas to post her first entry here!
Jas, you better don't go against your words!!

Before i end this, allow me to make some wishings:
#1. May everyone do really really well for exams. A's and Promos.
(P.S. WE ALL CAN DO IT!! )
#2. May the current exco bring CNNY to greater heights.
(we have much faith in you guys!)
#3. May everyone in CNNY be blessed with good health.

And yeah,
As i always say:
WE ROCK.

So long,
Lihui.

2008-07-04T20:59:00.003+08:00

heyheyyyy everyone.. :)

NOW is post-mids for me. those taking bio, jia you jia you!!

it's amazing how time really flies yea?.. just a while ago it was my first post here, and then a few posts before, it was yiping's first post. :P

am really encouraged by the next batch's enthusiasm.. i think it was what my batch generally lacked in.. but i'm glad to see how y'all keep meeting up. those who love working together, stay together. :) may the next batch forge even closer bonds and friendships within y'all!

am totally so gonna miss CNNY... the times we ran about doing last min coverage for the school or for our production, the times we made mistakes and got into a little trouble, the times we had fun filming our SVA together and making external friends :) those were most memorable..

and we gotta thank Mr Cheng for being so patient and kind towards us too. he's the most generous teacher i know so far... and he'd go all out to help us when we need it. thank you, Mr Cheng!! :)

work hard, j1s! learn from our mistakes and move forward too. it'll be an interesting journey ahead for y'all. enjoy it! :)

love ya all,
rachel (:

POST MIDS

2008-06-29T19:59:00.002+08:00

Okay, for the J1s, yes. It's after mids. But work hard J2s! One more week! Btw, this is a shoutout to the J1 excos... Post farewell party details soon! & uh, I'm representing all J2 excos to say that... we don't want soft toys for presents! I think all the excos will agree with me right? Haha :)

Tbh, idk what to buy either. It's quite troublesome right! Haha. Anw, yeah, something to share (which I also told Kenwyn..) If you don't know what to get, get something from you like cuz the reciever will probably like it, since it's a gift from the heart :)

Okay, I'm back to war. Luv everyone!

2008-06-05T23:06:00.003+08:00

Hi Everyone!

This is the first time I write an entry for cnny, hope it isn't too bad.

Mediacamp has ended successfully and generally smoothly. We have to really thanks mr cheng and our j2 seniors who organised everything. At the same time, not forgetting the ex-excos(yifang's batch) for sacrificing their time to come back on the first day of mediacamp. It has definitely boost the morale of cnny. Most importantly, each and everyone of you ( j1s) were very significant in the process, because without you, we will not be able to run the camp. You are'll have undoubtly performed well as facilitators despite facing different challenges and difficulties in terms of cooperating with the respective schools, and also to guide them efficiently. I can understand, because I faced those problems as well. However, as what mr cheng has said, this is the first time, among many batches, that the participating schools were able to finish editing and submit their products on the first day and thus not a need to drag it to the second day. With this, please give yourself a clap! : ) You are wonderful!

Next, the exco's result is out. For those names that appear on the blog, I shall congradulate you, because you really deserve it. I know that some of you got a position that you didn't put in for both your first and second choices. Fret not, this means that the seniors have faith in you and believe that you can do well in that area. You should also trust their judgement and have trust in your ability. I hope that we excos will work together well in the coming one and a half year, assisting each other and bring out the best to cnny!

On the other hand, many of you might not have gotten a position. It's definitely something upset with a tinge of emptiness...I've experienced it before, but I hope that you can recover from your sadness in these few days, or try not to think about it for the time being. Like what shermaine has posted, you are all valuable members of cnny. Without the members, cnny will never go far. Thus, don't belittle yourself, you are all great people with great abilities. Let's hope we will have more fun and laughter working together in the coming journey. Be optimistic!

Rest well,
yiping : )

I can't think of a better title.

2008-06-05T20:10:00.009+08:00

Media Camp is finally over, and I guess we can call it a success! Good job everyone! I suppose Mr Kwek is quite pleased because a sec school teacher praised the facils! :D Hip hip hooray! :) :)

Okay I'll not beat about the bush. I'm going to announce the list of Excos on the blog right now because I was the last to call my successor & he was still quite optimistic hahha I thought he'd be disappointed since everyone else got their calls quite early... except him :/

So.... your future Excos are....

Director: Lim Yi Ping
D. Director: Sito Kenwyn

Reporting (C): Wu Xiao Tong
Reporting (E): Charlene Tan

Head of Videography: Benny Wong
D. Head of Videography: Tang Ding Lun

Head of Editing: Lim Thai Xiong
D. Head of Editing: Daniel Tan

Head of Logistics: Karen Ho
D. Head of Logistics: Tan Jia Hui

As you can see, some people got a position that they did not run for. This is much regretted, but we feel that this team we have chosen is the best. It's really been hard for us to decide which roles to assign to you guys since 21 of you ran for Exco elections. No doubt, there are more than 10 candidates whom we feel have the potential to be an Exco. However, it is not wise to elect the Excos based solely on our own preferences. We've given it much thought and the decisions are final. We hope everyone can understand this.

Please do not feel upset if you did not get a position. You're all still valuable members to our CCA. Without the members, we'd be nothing. We wouldn't have enough manpower participate in any competitions, not to mention production.

Okay I just realised that my post, compared to previous years, is much much longer. Well pardon me alright! I've got so much more to say :(

Hmm, fine maybe I'll not say them today! I'll save it for some other time haha. Okay bye! & SITO KENWYN... YOU DENSE PIG! Hahaha! Okay I tell you all... as I said... he's the last to be contacted, at about 7 plus, then hor... he think he's deputy head of logistics luh!!! Haha damn funny hor?! Okay nevermind random. I need sleep!!! Shall go rest now haha :D

XOXO,
Shermaine
(no long a DD *whines )

2008-06-01T20:55:00.002+08:00

hello everybody...

mediacamp's just around the cornerr!!! (refer to the previous post)

soon, we'll be handing over to the next batch of J1s! time really flies....

we seniors see quite a good lot of potential here in you juniors... so keep the good attitude and spirit going!! we're all hoping that you'll bring CNNY to an even greater height! :)

elections coming very soon... feeling a little reluctant for that day, but i'm feeling pretty excited too. :) i believe most of you chose to join CNNY because of the passion.. because when i came in, i knew almost nothing about editing or camera or reporting. passion can drive you to find out about the things you don't know if you're really interested. so keep CNNY going nowhere but UP!! we feel very relieved and assured by the good potential we see in you, J1s!!

one of the things i found hardest to do, was to balance studies with CCA. that one's no surprise. it happens to anyone with more than one committment. but it's still no joke.. sooner or later you're gonna be leading others already... but the experience i got from being director was definitely worth the while... i learnt so much i wouldn't trade it for anything else. hope that y'all will make CNNY yours and enjoy it. :)

okay.. just to encourage y'all juniors before we officially step down on thursday... i hope y'all don't feel the stress!! :)

jiayou and show your leadership on the day of mediacamp!

:)rachel

some acknowledgements

2008-05-16T21:50:00.003+08:00

J2 excos: just sent an email to you girls :) i'll spare this post from further "emo"tion. few words for you girls: 'the only way to go is up'.

to the J2s: the past few weeks working with y'all was such a pleasure. i never knew such a level of enthusiasm existed in you (don't take this as an insult!). you were surprisingly (not just my group) happy and determined to get your VOs and editing not just done, but done well. i'm proud of my J2s. :)

to the J1s: i hope my batch serves as a batch from you to learn from. we all have our weaknesses and strengths, so it's only normal that sometimes things go wrong. but never use that as an excuse for any slack when trying times come. i believe CNNY's always been a family, and will continue to be. so keep that family spirit going... when you take over, which is in a matter of weeks..

stay strong, J1s and J2s. mid years are coming.. and so is mediacamp... let's make this year's mediacamp another great success! let's prepare to the best of our abilities!! we can do it!!! :):)

love y'all!!!
rachel :)

A long emo post.

2008-05-15T19:13:00.010+08:00

Hello to all.

We just finished filming the Volleyball Boys' A Div Finals today.
Met with rough pathes along the way which made ej and I felt kinda unjust. Haha.

But come to think of it, maybe it's just inevitable that media representatives are sometimes neglected & belittled. As reporters, it is only our responsibility to ensure that people acknowledge us, (and not ignore our presence) before they will agree to grant an interview. I didn't manage to do this today, maybe because i didn't chase after interviewees like i previously did. For this, it's my fault. :(

So yes, if you ever chance upon the role of a reporter, let it all out and make worthy interviews with nice people. Don't ever hesitate or procrastinate, for the very next minute, the interviewee may no longer be there.
Guess this is what our seniors meant by 'picking up reporting skills through work and experience'. :D

Anyways,
Was full of emotions after a heart-to-heart talk with ej, followed by a phone call with Rachel.
I know i may not be in the best position to make comments but i really feel like penning down my feelings and be understood. So, sorry in advance if i may sound a bit overbearing later.

Well, most of us are utmost apologetic for not having contributed more or done better for the past few months. It does feel that we lack what it takes to be a worthy exco. We are perhaps, too academic oriented. It also does seem that most of us are pressured by the piles of homework and the upcoming Mid Year Exam. Plus our fiasco as leaders for CNNY, it becomes impossible to stay happy.

Haish. I really do miss the wide grins on many of our faces.

Here's something i came across from RD, hope it helps:

10 ways to turn the frown upside down.

1. Be less virtual, more 3-D.
" If you sit at a computer all day, get up and indulge in some human contact instead. Even time with strangers ramps up your sense of well-being."

2. Make a list of things you truly appreciate.
"Counting your blessings may be the single most helpful thing you can do for your happiness quotient."

3. Rack 'em up.
" Think of every positive experience during the day as a bead on a string and see how they add up. This makes you focus on even the smallest possible moments."

4. Think memorable, not material.
" Memory of a good time with friends or loved ones last forever."

5. Go to the funny side.
" Humour amplifies the good things; so try to smile at the absurdities of life."

6. Escape to your stress-free zone.
" Forgo your work and undulge in something that will make you feel calm and happy."

7. See the glass as half full.
" If you stop and assess the stuffs in life, you'll see you actually have them pretty good."

8. Find your inner artist.
" Engaged in activities that you truly like- joyful expression can bring happiness."

9. Do something good.
" Deliver acts of kindness as often as possible. However small, they will brighten up your day."

10. Seize the moment.
" If you feel like doing something, do it now. Go ahead and be happier."

I was pretty glad to have read this and seriously hope that some of these methods will really allow us to retrieve our long-lost smiles.

Hmms.. afterall, life is not just about studies. Going back to the fundamentals, like treating people around you better and giving best shots in whatever duties we have do seem to bring more genuine and longlasting happiness, don't they?

Oh, & i can't agree more with that last point.
Somehow, maybe our exco failed to accomplish great because we tend to speak more than we act, allowing time to flow unknowingly. Of course, we only have ourselves to blame.

There are some problems that long prevail. some of us tried really hard to resolve while some of us chose to ignore. Since we jolly-well know feigning ignorance is unjust,

let's unite and give our best for the remaining month okay? :D

We can do wonders if we want to.
Yes, we really really can.
Let's all step down proudly.

So let's meet at the CCA room tmr alright?

Meanwhile, I have created a flickr link for cnny.
www.flickr.com/photos/cnny

And if you really spare your time to read all of this, i am seriously thankful.
I hope that every CNNY member, not just the excos, will have a burning desire to contribute after reading this.
Hereby, i still need to thank avril, szexia and yihui for being such great members in my group! :D

I love you all, CNNY.

Take care.
Lihui.

I'm sorry, Rachel, for being impatient when I speak to you these days.

I'm sorry to the J1s, if our plans for the day was horribly disappointing.

I'm sorry for pissing anyone off today, if I did.

I'm sorry for shouting, I shouldn't have.

I'm sorry for everything I've done wrongly, I'm sorry for being mean.

---

Once again, we've missed out on a studio scene!! I think we're all pretty absent-minded hahaha. Oh well~ Guess we gotta do it again, thank goodness it's just a short scene eh! I'm sure we can do it! Hahaha :) Okay I'm being very random now and I've so got to do my H1 project. Till then~!

2008-04-20T20:50:00.003+08:00

heyhey everyone! :)

great job, and thumbs-up to our zhu bos huyang and xingli for studio today and everyone else involved!! despite us being kinda blur in this first time, i'd say we were really cooperative with one another and i hope we all learnt something today that we can apply for our next episode. let's all learn from the mistakes made from today and remember what not to do for the next one. :)

i know we all need to balance out studies and cca, so let's all just do our equal best for both even when we feel most tired. :) i have faith in you all that we'll be able to pull the next one off really well!! JIA YOU!!

next cca on wed will be a mock shoot for the J1s and editing of studio for the J2s. a few of the J2s will be assigned to follow the juniors around for their mock shoot.

we'll all meet at 3.30pm at the AVA room. the J1s should know your groupings by wed and be confirmed with which group of J2s you are to be attached with. don't worry if you're unsure now. we'll be showing you guys the list.

have fun, and study hard!!

rachel =)

Fun's over! The stress is marching in >:(

2008-04-09T19:34:00.003+08:00

Alright, so Rachel and I have come up with the schedule for Studio. Yep, you got it. The amazingly exciting and fun studio production :)

there's great excitement in the air!

2008-03-04T18:52:00.017+08:00

hellos to all. :D

i couldn't quite contain my excitement, so here i am.
hahas. yeah, to blog before the big day arrives.

yes.
5th march.
tomorrow.

tomorrow's the day where the little cute kids meet, er, the not-so-cute giants! (to them, we're indeed huge people okay.. so don't smack me for making this statement.)
it's the very first external event that we will be organizing -

Mini-Media Camp! (:

hope everything will turn out perfect. heehees.
actually it will, especially since we have spongebob to 'cajole' them! haha.

btw, i have to apologise for the one camera left.
i am very very sorry.

i hope things will still be managable with that one remaining.
do be extra careful with it. strap it around your neck at all time!
we can't trust the tripod completely. (it failed me the other day.)

alright, not to dampen the mood,
tomorrow's also the

Schools Digital Media Awards 2008 Ceremony!

yes, the long awaited ceremony.
i will bring my cam along and camwhore all the way. (provided we don't get all so tensed up and forget the presence of this powerful tool, which i doubt so, anyway.)
yes. it's all our effort paid off.
suddenly, i begin to wonder if we will feel nostalgic tomorrow.
haha. reminiscing the good old days when we frequented SPCA, bugged josiah, have hell loads of fun with benny and zoe, woke up in the wee hours to catch the pets 'school bus' at k9, went to the pets roadshow and got all frenzied and panicky over editing and exporting, badgering our seniors for their help!

and tomorrow's the bonus.
we shall pray hard that we get something more than mediocre, like what Mr Cheng suggested.
let's all keep our fingers crossed.

alright.
meanwhile, it's back to mugging.
everyone, jiayou many many for the upcoming block test!! :D
may good luck befall all of us. (:

take care.

Lihui.

HELLO! :D

2008-02-29T20:37:00.002+08:00

Since Leap Year happens only once a year, I feel the need to update the blog to commemorate this special day. Haha.

As I promised, the details for 5th March's Primary School Sharing.

First and foremost, the groupings.

Group 1
Xingli (in charge of Camera)
Huyang
Avril
Hong Chen
Michelle

Group 2
Felicia (in charge of Camera)
Siew Chwen
Cailing
Sze Xia
Yeeting

Group 3
Shelia (in charge of Camera)
Huiyi
Yi Hui
Li Dan
Shermaine

Those in charge of Camera, you are expected to help the students hold on to the Camera while travelling, and to assist them when they have any difficulties or inquiries.

For the rest, please guide the students when they are writing their scripts as we presume that this will be their first time doing so.

The Excos will be around only to assist the members when they are in doubt as I feel that the J2s should have a chance to take charge.

I'd like to take this chance to emphasise that it is VERY IMPORTANT for everyone to familiarise with the camera BEFORE the sharing session.

Now, for the details.

Reporting time: 2.3opm (right after Assembly)
Venue: 05-60 (LEP ROOM)

Do not worry about your stomachs as LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED. So I expect everyone to be punctual and WILL NOT tolerate any latecomers, unless Assembly drags after 2.30pm. The Excos involved will be excused from Assembly to rehearse their presentations.

Theme for Sharing Session
Primary school students touring NYJC's CCAs.

Further details
Filming: All groups will go to ALL venues, filming the various CCAs we have planned for them to visit.
Interviews: They will interview their fellow schoolmates/group mates about their feeling towards the tour.

The venues and routes to take has yet to be confirmed, but I will let you guys know the details asap.

--------------------------------------------

On a lighter note..

RACHEL! Why you put inverted commas at the handsome huh! They are handsomes WITHOUT the inverted commas! Pffts.

You know you love me,
XOXO
~~Gossip Girl~~ Shermaine (Haha!)

2008-02-28T15:16:00.002+08:00

heyheyy!!! (:(:

great job everyone on getting more J1s for cca bazaar! :] we have 35 more in the new list, with 11 GUYS in total! yifang, you can put your mind at peace. we all did a pretty good job on publicity.. let's all continue to set a good example for the J1s!

5th March's one big big thing that's coming up! :) J2s by now would hav confirmed groupings alr to lead all the kiddies for the mini mediacamp... a pity that the enthusiastic J1s (shermaine's 'handsome's) can't make it for this one... :/ anyway ppl do clarify your doubts abt scripting, editing or camera handling, and most importantly, do your best and have fun that day!~

second big event's the School Digital Media Awards' ceremony! :] so glad our hardwork paid off! great job, PETS ppl! at least we're winning something (hopefully something big)! and we're all wondering if the press interview means something too... so yeppp pple keep your hopes up! can't wait for the results!! :):)

cya gals (and guys) soon!

let's have faith and pray hard!

2008-01-18T21:22:00.000+08:00

Hello! this is my 1st time here! (scared! feel my heartbeat . *beating so fast*)

ok, lame. anyway, just wanna drop by to say HI and also to thank everyone who have supported me in one way or another on TUESDAY=DD

special thanks to all=) especially when u all cheered so loudly for me!

ok, tuesday is the day I've been so utterly embarrassed of myself that i dun dare to have eye contact with anyone.i guess most people have the wrong impression. Just to clarify, i was asked to speak very very very slowly. I must admit I'm super scared (just to hear my voice echoing from the mike) but i will rather speak at a bullet train speed to get it over and done with rather than to prolong my time up there, watching those people laughing at me( for my supposedly robotic voice). Anyway, it's a good experience and maybe i can get the title for the funniest announcer of the year award. haha. And i was told it created a lot of impact all thanks to the 3 letter words and many had voted!!! all the best! I really really hope that we can win and done the school proud. indeed, i'm so proud of all the members=P

ok, li hui had uploaded some pictures so i shall upload them too=D

P.S i guess most people have know who I am right? haha.

i guess that's all for now..=)mayb next time i can add a video or two=D

IMPT IMPT IMPT!!!!

2008-01-07T17:52:00.000+08:00

hello everyone!!:):)

the student council has finally finalised our venue for the CCA bazaar this wed, 9th Jan.

VENUE: it'll be behind the (left) staircase (if u're facing the field) at the atrium area.
TIME: 3-5 pm [but please don't run away at 5... we need to clear up...]
MEETING TIME: they haven't told us yet.. but if im not wrong, we're dismissed early (about 2??). have a quick bite and chiong to do ur jobs! take note... everyone's gonna have something to do! :)

YOUR JOBS:

we're given 2 tables, 2 benches (frm canteen). we need girl(and a few men)-power. lilin and hongchen's group will be in charge of getting this done. report to the student council board and sign in our cca's name before you take the tables and chairs. :) we're obstructed by the round tables too, so that needs to be shifted somehow. lilin, check with council on where to place those round tables ok?

strong gal michelle, please get your group (if not enough can kop from others) to be in charge of getting the equipment down from the CCA room. equipment meaning...

-the cameras with a few randomly selected tapes (jasmine pls try to get just one small DV cam): 1 big one (that's all we have for now), one small one.

-the tripod (take 2 in case one *er-hm* happens to be faulty that day)

-condenser mic and mic with mic-cube.

-the files we cleaned last wk, put the brochures inside. (open it when u're talking to a junior and SHOW it to them. mic, sher will pass you guys the brochures).

-the souvenirs

-the black CNNY board that we use for studio purposes

-anything useful you see in the room that can be used for publicity

[that's as much as i can think of for now]

shermaine's group and my group (since both grps may have nothing left by then) will be in charge of taking down the useful stuff we have on our noticeboard, decorate the tables of our booth, and the fixing up of technical stuff. think we're gonna need help from other ppl on that too. just for both of us to look at: we need laptop and mr cheng's equipment. :)

very impt!! **all you people who went to mediacorp and took pictures, please send them to jasmine, who's collating them into a powerpoint which we'll be showing on our screen.

last, but definitely not the least, please bring along a BIG, WIDE, CRAZY smile on your face that won't scare the J1s away but will welcome them to join us!!! be enthu okay?!! :D don't shy. and try to catch as many as possible. the key is to get their names, class and CONTACT NO. ... a paper will be provided.

hmm.. what to talk about?? aiyohhh got so much to talk about...
1) what's Channel News Nanyang about
2) what we do
3) what you can expect when you join
4) what's so good about us

and more...

and yes, the pull-factor would be the mediacorp attachment. please mention that not many schools have this special privilege. :)

do let them explore the equipment that we have. eejia, yeeting (can rotate ppl)-- in charge of protecting the equipment esp when the J1s are handling it. talk about the interesting things we learn during the training sessions.. and how we get to go out filming as a team and stuff like that.. and that we even have our own special cozy room at the CCA block!

okay. so much for CCA bazaar. :) don't feel stressed ok? we're all doing it together! so have fun recruiting ppl!! :)

rachel_

2008-01-06T16:16:00.000+08:00

heyyy CNNY!!!

i'm proud of you guys (and so are the seniors)!! so keep it up! (:

btw, i'm really encouraged by the number that turned up for spring cleaning. :) it was really nice to see everyone (although all were squished into our little cca room). now it's pretty cleaned up! and thanks to the ppl also who re-designed the cca brochure!

will update this blog soon on the impt calendar dates for first semester... it's gonna be a busy year ahead for us, j2s. :P let's all jia you for the upcoming cca bazaar!!! (:(:

rachel(:

2007-12-09T10:15:00.000+08:00

hey cnny. (:

it's amazing how time flies.
only a few months ago,
our seniors were still battling with a's,
while we, those who participated in sva, were still very much uncertain of whether we will be able to do a good job.

now,
the j2s are carefree enough to throw away all their books, (let's be happy for them, it'll be our time to rejoice in just 11mths time, lol.) while i am proud to say that both groups have managed to produce rather pleasant documentaries that won't bore people to death.
kudos to us.
all the way from conceptualizing to filming, to editing, and lastly exporting, it's seriously tough.
but we did it, YEAH! :D
& also, not forgetting to thank zuosheng, lewis, shuning, jiawei and all other seniors who came by and gave us a great deal of help.
you're all greatly appreciated.

alright, after all these big THANK YOUs, it's down to serious work.
everyone, let's work very hard for next year, be it cnny or our studies.
2008 is definitely gonna be hectic,
but do turn up for cca,
it'll be fun fun fun for all because we will be

1. preparing for open house.
2. helping out THE ONE with their participants' videos.

eh, for more details, do ask rachel or shermaine.
haha. shirking off responsibility.

yea, so don't sian diao whenever cnny is mentioned.
there will be no more theory-based trainings but more of hands-on next year!

cheers to cnny. (:
have a great holiday and be back fully recharged for the ever-busy 2008 bah!

btw, randomly,
this is my first post. lol.

Lihui.

HELLO!

2007-12-03T14:11:00.000+08:00

Hey people! How's your holidays coming along? Yeeting & I are currently at E-News Department, Mediacorp. Yep! It's our attachment week! :D

We're going to see WILBER PAN in 2hours time! Aren't you excited for us?! Hah :D Anyway, we're quite bored now that's why we're online & updating the blog to prevent it from rusting.

YES WE'RE REALLY BORED RIGHT NOW AND WE WANT TO INTRODUCE A VERY NICE CHINESE BOOK TO YOU GUYS! :D (CLICK ON THE TITLE IT'S A LINK)

《梦里花落知多少》

P.S: You can read it online. See! Save money!!

Well besides reading this book (WHICH YOU ALL SHOULD READ), we also learnt some stuff here at Mediacorp.

#01. Do not complain if you get into News instead of CA.
#02. Bring money for cab fare (can be claimed from the boss later on)
#03. Must rush for time so bring BREAD along.
#04. Do no fret when being 'forgotten' by the reporters you're following (how could they forget such cute little girls like us....)
#05. Do not let anyone else (besides the reporter you're with) know that you have no $$ to take cab.
#06. Do not let the other party (e.g. SCDF) know that you have no idea where their HQ is.
#07. Bring cameras to take photos. You'll never know who you're going to meet.
#08. Bring along a jacket/shawl wherever you go because you might end up somewhere cold (omg it rhymes!)
#09. Bring lots of empty bottles. (there are water coolers don't waste your house water)
#10. Be prepared to listen to some handsome/ugly man with a nice/unpleasant voice for hours.
#11. Get ready to reach home at midnight sometimes (okay, actually this only happened to me, ONCE)

That's probably all we've learnt so far. Oh wait, I think there's still one more.

#12. If you want to send a tape back to Mediacorp, tell the cameraman what you want to send back so that there is no tape wastage :D

So... I think that's about it. Most importantly, READ THE BOOK WE INTRODUCED!!!

Lots of love,
Shermaine
& Yeeting (who just laughs at what I type)

2007-10-22T16:27:00.000+08:00

see y'all again soon :)

rachel_

2007-08-04T21:35:00.000+08:00

hey people~

i hope the J1s will read this. it's really hard to communicate with you guys as a whole nowadays.

i know it's near promos and all, and i know everyone's really busy... but let's not sacrifice the already very minimum time we have for CNNY each week.

i hope we aren't taking CNNY for granted, cuz as Mr Cheng has said, when we compare ourselves with other CCAs, they train more than we do. our 1 day per week is all we have and i hope we'll all go for it. Mr Cheng was also kind enough to arrange appropriate timings for us because he considered the fact that we have our promos to worry about.

i hope you guys'll come regularly for future trainings. even if it's just a 2-3 hour training, it's essential for us to know what they're teaching us. i don't want to sound like i'm begging you guys to come. but we really don't have to wait for a threat (like during training today) to do this.

as much as you guys want the CCA to be united, i also hope for the same thing. so let's not wait for one another to do something. cuz nothing's going to happen like that. let's just do it together. if there's anything you want to say, just say it. it's been really quiet since we J1s took over. i hope you guys'll be honest with me as i am now with y'all. we can't read each others' minds.

CNNY's not mine, not the excos'. it's OURS. if one person falls, we all fall together. i want us to all be proud of CNNY. but it has to start somewhere more fundamental... like showing up for trainings.

so i hope you guys'll think about what i said. these are just words, just my dreams for CNNY. i hope it was straight-forward enough for you guys to understand... because the impression we're giving to others right now, isn't going to get us very far.

so let's pick ourselves up and keep going now--- it'll all be worthwhile in the end i promise.

i admit it's my fault that i didn't make this clear before. nevertheless, i hope now we'll be more motivated to do our best for CNNY, cuz everyone counts. all 25+ of us.

one thing that struck me today was when Mr Cheng told us that the college holds CNNY in high regard. and i thought, if we ourselves don't, how far can we get?

it's not too late to make things change for the better.

so don't slack or give up, everyone. =) if you feel like you're quite free, get yourself involved in helping others. our duty's to bring CNNY to a greater height. and i'm sure we're able to achieve it together!
