Ok 12am have past so now is 16th March 2009. Basically 2 big things will be happening in few hours time.

1. Imagine Cup 2009 Results for Round 1

I've been waiting for this for about a week's time and very anxious to know the results. I have around 80% confidence that we can get in haha.

Well thinking of it, I had once been through it which is last year. Imagine Cup 2008, with Alex, Tee Ming and Jai. I remembered the moment very clearly when Alex suddenly called me and said: "eh kelvin ar, me and Jai joining a competition leh you want mah? you want I put your name in" so i agreed. That is when i started to know more about Mr Yeak, my course coordinator whom had been giving me endless chances and opportunities this past year. It was also when i started to move towards the .NET or Microsoft side. Still remembered I used to be a Java Craze Guy whom some call me Java King LOL very cute name but yea I guess it was passion which drives me through and gave me the motivation that brought everything that I do to another level which contributed to this nick name of mine.

How it happen? I was just because of a mistake mail. I was 1 fine day where Mr Yeak passed me a Visual Studio 2008 Trial Version CD and told me, you should try this. Go learn C#! so yea i said ok can lol then 1 very fine day. I received a mail upon invitation to a 3 days workshop on Visual Studio 2008. That day, I was very happy and I thought "Hey thanks Mr Yeak for signing up for me" so i told him that i received this mail and asked for Leave of Absence and neither of us asked who actually signed up this. So i went to Microsoft Innovation Center (MIC) which i think it's my first time there. Entered the lab and waited patiently, taking the first seat on the front as I don't want to let Mr Yeak down and want to absorb as much as i could and being the first guy to reach, I didn't realize anything that is not right. I only had 1 thing in mind "I'm a Temasek Informatics & IT School student and I'm here to learn" Then.. More people started to come and they all definitely does not look like students , they are actually working professionals. Only on the second day, I was told by the receptionist that they had send to the wrong mail as they suppose to send to a guy named Kelvin Ho who is working in the Ministry of Home affairs and his name is same as mine but without an underscore at the back. But Microsoft is kind enough and let me stayed for the whole 3 days. It was a very good experience and which changed part of my life as well.

In Imagine cup 2008, we burn off our holidays, although there are ups and downs like problems such as can't contact our group mates and such. But yea I enjoyed the competition as i had learned alot.

I'm sure that this year would be different as my group's alittle different haha I still have Jai and I have a hardworking girl and a very smart girl with me this year =)

Cairo. Here we come. Are you ready? xD

2. Stepping down from my position as the president of my diploma's Special Interest Group " Technostrategist"

It has been 1 year since I took this place as the president, believe me at that time, I'm very enthu and very passionate to take on this position as well as at the same time going for my Microsoft Student Partners interview. Reason? I want to change the face of IT. I want people to know what IT is about. I want to spread my passion for IT to people. I want my peeps in IT to enjoy IT.

Well, overall I enjoyed this post although there are always good times and bad times. Frankly speaking, I had fallen badly at times but this is where I learn to picked up myself quickly as I have to keep in mind about why I took up this position months ago. Being the president is not easy like people always said With Great Power comes Big responsibilities. I agreed to that and I had been faced with it as well.

In this past year, I had a lot of fun doing what i loved to do most. Running events, presenting, sharing information, knowing more friends such as my freshmen batch. We run events like the install fest, installing software for my peers to help them in their studies. Word & PowerPoint workshop, educating our peers on how these tools can be used more efficiently and this i would need to thank Alex and Lup Peng for making it happen. Thank you. Other events such as even organizing and making sure that special people such as our friends from Japan coming to visit TP as well as new students from the October intake to feel at home and having good memories in TP to happen.

Well overall, I learned a lot and enjoyed myself during this duration of being the president and i would like to thank my fellow SIG members, Mr Yeak as well as other support staffs and friends in TP.

Haha all this are from the bottom of my heart as I don't think i would be given air time during my stepping down lol

Well Big day coming haha. Anyways today i had a really great experience in having my driving lesson in such a heavy down fall LOL

Crapped!
