*Special Chapter
Hey guys! I feel like I want to shout it out loud as I am super hyper right now, remember the N.E.mation competition I wrote about in one of the chapters for the month of July? (The link's below just in case you're wondering what it's all about.)

Well, just not long ago I checked my e-mail (usually I don't bother to check cause it's all been cluttered with Facebook emails that I can already predict what's in my e-mail inbox) but it is always recommended to do often checks cause you never know as you might just get an unexpected e-mail from the N.E.mation people regarding being enlisted as one of the finalist for the N.E.mation Ambassador!
I'm still flabbergasted when I read the Title of the e-mail - "You are an N.E.mation Ambassador Finalist!". Even when I'm typing this post now, I'm like smiling all the way, never had I ever been this happy before. The last time I was this happy was when I was in Primary School, this girl came up to me and told me I was cute, I was young, I didn't knew what she meant by cute but anyway, so I'm here to talk about my thoughts and aspirations of being enlisted.
So let's start shall we, ever since the day I pressed "PUBLIST POST" for that competition, I had never expected to be enlisted cause I thought these kinds of competitions would usually be for those experienced bloggers or for those much more mature bloggers as I'm only like a secondary school student, what could I expect out of a mega competition like N.E.mation, I only thought it would be like a hope for me to be enlisted never had I expected that I would receive that e-mail as I thought there has to be at least a few other candidates that must have done totally better than me as I'm not that experienced as this is kind of like my first blogging competition. I've never faced such an interesting competition like this, when it comes to blogging it would just be usually me and my thoughts but now I guess I will be able to widen the range of items that I will be able to discuss with my readers(if any) as I would be going behind the scenes of the N.E.mation 6 that is usually taken part by schools where they would have to come up with an animation video story regarding the theme of N.E.mation this year which is "NS: From Father to Son", so basically this year's theme is all about National Service that all Singaporean men have to go through one day which most likely revolves around the father and the son, most probably I have a feeling it's kind of the one generation to another kind theme and I'm sure it's going to be interesting as I would be some what a "journalist", that's how I see it, and attend their workshops and at the end of the day I'm suppose to write about how the entire event or workshop went out.

One of the things that I would be looking forward to as an N.E.mation! Ambassador is that I would be exposed to how journalism is like in the real world where you have to be on the ball at all times and you cannot be missing out on the major things that are happening, you have to also keep track of time, make sure that you get a 360 degree point of view from all angles and aspects as you don't want to miss out any of the latest happenings and most importantly the results! Another thing that I look forward to the most would be meeting the other nine enlisted ambassadors, making friends with them and learning from each other, it's surely going to be an interesting competition where bloggers or other forms of people using different media can get together to talk about the same event and share with each other our experiences. Lastly, the thing that I'm looking forward to the most would be the grand prize, it's rather attractive I must say. I mean who could resist a trip to the United States of America along with S$500 and you get to take pictures with a Canon DSLR Camera entirely sponsored by Canon?! This is definitely enough to whet my appetite, it's like my dream to grow up and visit the USA one day, and I believe this could possibly be the chance where I get to fufill my dream at last! Well, even if I don't win this, I'm still a winner, I won't be going home empty handed because I gained experience through this event and this memory will probably last with me forever.
For those of you who are still unaware of what N.E.mation is, you can visit their website or facebook at

For now, I shall end off with one of my favourite animated video entry from N.E.mation 5! last year, I'm sure you guys are rather familiar with this cause it was broadcasted on the television for a period of time unless you're not a television kind of person then too bad. If you want to see more of these animated video entries, simply go to their youtube page, http://youtube.com/nemators . Enjoy!
BUT! before I end, you can also be involved in N.E.mation6 as well, will update more details on how you can be part of N.E.mation6 as well soon!
