When it comes to face to face meetings with people whom I've never met before, my range of vocabulary suddenly shrinks down to only two words - "Hi" and "Bye". My timid nature is not to be condoned. Kill me.

I admire those people who are able to conclude a perfect introduction with a firm handshake, the eyes fixed upon the opposite pair. It will take a zillion years for me to cultivate the bravery to perform such an incredible feat.

There's this uncle on crutches who sort of resides at the elderly corner on the first level of my block from morning till dinner time. I see him everyday as I return from school. Couldn't pluck up my courage to greet him every time I see him as I've none to begin with. It seems to me that he has the idea that I despise him. Now he reveals a frown whenever our faces meet. I feel so guilty. The truth is, I never despised him. I just couldn't communicate. Sigh. Uncle, if you manage to read this(which is impossible), I'm sorry. Wish I could talk to you. Sorry I couldn't even manage a smile.

Sigh.

Public speaking, orating, acting, presenting and committee meetings. Dreadful words. My heart beats a million times faster if my name ever gets associated with any of them. And ouch, there will be the General Paper project presentation when school term starts in two weeks time. "I wonder how it's going to be... When you're(courage) not around...". I'll be standing in front of everyone in class, shivering from the inside, sweating on the outside, jittering in my mind, and stuttering all my way through. Ew. The thought really hurts!

The SV Exco Meeting at KFC Bukit Timah Shopping Centre went well. After a sumptuous chicken meal, we settled down and discussed the future of SV. Talked for hours while Mingli scribbled and came up with a couple pages of colourful notes. So... my job is to take charge of whatever competitions members are taking part and whatever competitions SV is holding. Glad I still get to organise HiTech'99. I don't think I should make anymore Birthday wishes from now on. =)
