Time flies. And here we are, back in Singapore, once again.
.jpg)
We were strangers, starting out on a journey....Standing at the beginning with you....
This entire OSLE journey have been an enriching one. It is really amazing how each and every one of us come together to form PROJECT DENOVO. The process have seen all of us grown and matured. The many conflicts that arose for the past months posed as a challenge for all of us. The very fact that we made it there a ONE PROJECT DENOVO shows that our bonds have been tried and tested!
We may have bitched around quite often, but I guess none of us mean any harm. Right now, I'm having a sense of nostalgia. Doesn't it feel that it was just yesterday that we've met? The process seems to end too early, too quickly. Somehow, I hope that we could go through this, all over again.
I may have dreaded proposals, but at the end of it all, we've pulled though =) I guess the journey doesn't stop here, rather, it's just the beginning. Let us walk through this journey of transforming lives. It's a promise that we'll all meet again, as one PROJECT DENOVO. Overseas trip anyone? After our A's? =)
Lastly, a simple thank you to everyone!
Here's our tagline: WE'RE THE KING OF THE MOUTAIN!
A simple smile can make your day. It is a universal language, i've learnt!
Project Denovo 2007 - We're all in this together
Hugs and kisses,

I will also like to share 1 of my learning points from the trip. In Singapore, do you oftenly experience TRUE happiness? Most of the time among us, we laughed because of something funny or a joke. However, the laughter will only last for a short moment. It's true that we are happy at these times but is it TRUE happiness? I was wondering what are/is the thing(s) that make the life there in Chiang Rai happy and stressless apart from their lifestyles. After thinking through, I believe it is that people there go for non-materialistic happiness. Such examples are close relationships and having a positive mindset. We could, thus, learn from them in this aspect as our lives here focus much on materialistic happiness such as satisfying from purchasing/consuming branded items,etc. This further assists me in achieving my life goal, that is, to aim for a quality life! =)
It has been a great time with all of you! Have a good rest!
-Stay happy & smile always

GREAT JOB THIS MORNING PEOPLE! =D
It was really heartwarming to see all of you trying so hard to get the dance steps. I believe that many of you are actually 1st time dancers. I must admit, it is really not easy.
Hmm, but I noticed that some of you are pretty shy. Don't worry, everything we do in OSLE is in a very safe environment. Afterall, we're all here to learn yeah? Don't be afraid, and take a step forward. It is really a different experience. Trust me.
Feeling all frustrated that your hands and legs don't coordinate? Fret not, with practise, comes perfection. Oh no, I'm not saying that we must be perfect (the world is not round either), at least, we all seek to reach that level. =D No doubt that I started dancing since a pretty young age, but it was really tough initially (okay, even until today, wait till you see how many times i get ticked off by my instructor). Really, have faith in yourself. When you believe you can do it, you will.
I'm not sure when will be the best time for the next mass dance session. Alex was suggesting that we have another session next Saturday. How that sound? I promise, i'll keep it to 2hours, yes, it's really tiring with all that jumping around.
Lastly, if you've noticed, *evil laughs* I'd actually recorded the last dance we did today. I will upload it soon. =DOh, I've also noticed that those at the back could not really get the steps. I suggest that you guys exchange your positions the next time round. That is, those infront will go to the back, and those at the back will go to the front.
And those who missed this session, i'll privately coach you one of these days. Don't worry =D
I will break you guys into smaller groups the next session. It'll make learning easier. I'll be selecting a few of you to lead the sub groups. Will decide on a later date =D
Well, i shall end off with a quote.
Sing like no one's listening;
Love like you've never been hurt before;
DANCE LIKE NOBODY'S WATCHING;
and Live like it's heaven on earth...
