The Chronicles of 2006- Part I

These were the months immediately after the two years of race against time to finish that tutorial, to read those lecture notes, to go for that dance rehearsal, to memorise those equations and chemical reactions, to just be a full time student in jc, had ended so abruptly after prom night.

- shuttle to and fro spore for interviews
- acp meetings at ktm KL sentral

we encountered many detours. from the initial target group of lower sec students to focusing on primary school students to doing both in the end; from giving flyers to newspaper interviews for publicity; from setting sky high prices (RM 500) to getting subsidies from PIBG and sponsorship from parents.

the light at the end of the tunnel was dim indeed.

May

- sat for SAT reasoning test

- last lap of zy/acp preparation

(-had a quiet birthday)

ZY/ACP was the unimaginable project, just as I had been rather skeptical about it in the very beginning. But imagination leads to creation, which in turn leads to realisation. I say, dare to dream!
