I have remained as See Me Not.
Banners, caps and cushions are your best friends when there’s no way you could hide from the camera.
And I thought Jean and I looked like the sofa at 0:16 of the video, complete with the green cushion.

Look at them! When the camera came, everyone ran away. I turned back and saw no one near my 3m radius except for the camera crew. There they were, laughing. Tsk tsk. 真够意思hor?
I had no idea where they were actually, because my cap covered my whole face. It’s easier to be #1 in queue than to speak into the mic for Snail.

This is just how limited my music library is. But it’s okay. Every year I will add 1 album and it will just keep on expanding.
The song just suddenly played in my brain, it is as relevant as you assumed it to be and it is as irrelevant as you take it to be.
For the ones who understand me well enough, you will share my interpretation and for those who don’t, it’s okay. The SMN’s about letting different readers have different interpretations; no wonder someone said that SMN talks in riddles.
我不配 (词:方文山)
这街上太拥挤 太多人有秘密
玻璃上有雾气在背影照进过去
你脸上的情绪 在还原那场雨
这笑容太过弯曲走不回故事里
这日子不再绿 又斑驳了几句
剩下半空回忆的我在大房子里
电影院的座椅 隔遥远的距离
感情没有对手戏你跟自己下棋
还来不及仔仔细细写下你的关于
描述我如何爱你 你却微笑的离我而去
这感觉 已经不对 我努力在挽回
一些些 应该体贴的感觉 我没给
你嘟嘴 许的愿望很卑微 在妥协
是我忽略 你不过要人陪
这感觉 已经不对 我最后才了解
一页页 不忍翻阅的情节 你好累
你默背 为我掉过几次泪 多憔悴
而我心碎你受罪 你的美 我不配
Sounds wrong. Never mind. Haha.

I always appreciate expression of one’s thoughts and views.
Compared to people who are indifferent, nonchalant or simply apathetic, those who expresses their opinion are more “alive” and “humane” to me.
But some times, to say isn’t better than to not say. Because we don’t have to stoop to their level. Surely we need to defend at times, but only if you can put up a convincing fight. If not, you are better off refining your skills, sharpening your sword and toughening your shield before you join in the next time round.
I’ve said this before,
一动不如一静.
Sometimes, inaction could be the best action after all :)
I wasn’t there, I wasn’t here before 2007. But enough has happened after that to make me realise how important it is for us fans to be humble.
Remember the shock when she missed out on the Best Actress’s nomination in 2007?
Remember the despair we had after she “rejected” The Defining Moment? When we no longer had the right to complain or even request, when all we could do was to wait, wait and pray?
And how about the heartache when the fancied Yuhang missed her first row seat? Or the numerous voting competitions, none of which we were fancied to win? Doesn’t matter we won most eventually, it’s worth rejoicing but nothing to be proud of; life goes on and we still ain’t fancied to win.
Sometimes I wonder if we even have any reason to not be humble. “Lux Veritas” is not yet a present tense. Even if it does become one finally, it doesn’t comes with lifelong guarantee.
I need a reminder or two at times too, but we will do fine together. Graciousness and humility, keep these in constant check :)
Why is it that the star we so love can seem as though it no longer shines..
Because the backdrop so black that supports and allows it to shine has changed..
Giving way to the bright daylight and the star is no longer the only thing that is bright..
The star didn’t lose its shine..
It’s still there, but not with our naked eyes..
So this is why, you walk away into the shade, and never look up into the sky or try..

We don’t understand why anyone would want to know more, more and more; not when we think that the happiest fans are the ones who are the simplest and know the least.
Ironically, I always get into trouble after refusing to know more than what I think I should; yet so many are trying to know more than what we think they should.
As we live in this era with such accessible information, have we been overloaded by information, and have our thirst for information grown to beyond satiation?
When you think that you are happier if you know more, chances are you are wrong. Because when you get unhappy for not knowing more/enough, the real bliss is when you do not desire to know more.
Think about it, before you start asking for more again.
And the sentence hit jackpot, it’s absolutely true.
“I” is first and foremost, and “together” is always the last consideration.
Think about it. Which is your first consideration?
But more so of it being the dent destroying all possible “perfections”.
We will be back, stronger, more united and better.
Can’t avoid the disappointment but there were people who brought us smiles in this whole process, and these are the things we ought to remember instead :)
There are some of you, who make us feel that we are in this together.
And there are some of you, who make us feel that we are in this alone.
To the second group, we are not asking you to go out of your way but it can be an action as fuss-free as informing us of something you know and we don’t. That much, that little.
To the first group, whether it is a note, a word of concern/encouragement, help when we need it, support when we require it, some of you go out of your way, even those who don’t, we appreciate it. That much, that significant.
Traversing The Road Less Traveled, Lux Veritas. I think we missed out a word in the slogan. The word is – Together.
Sometimes I wonder why am I doing so much. But other times, I make myself and my comm do so much.
Just can’t afford to be complacent.
Yea, I hope you would do more.
If you had benefited from the existence of RBKD,
If you had made friends you cherish because of RBKD,
If you have had fun because of RBKD,
If you just wanna tell everyone how their presence matters,
then perhaps you should consider doing something to show your appreciation.
And I mean something out of your heart and not out of your pocket..
Can someone join me in the excitement?
See Me Not. Originally a nick I created to represent how I wanna be seen, or rather, not seen in RBKD. But as I hopped back to the good old nick – Snail, See Me Not ceased to be used.
And increasingly Seemenot, or SMN as many of you now refer to as, has become synonymous with this blog. Isn’t this branding in the making without any deliberate attempts?
I’m never a marketing student (except for 1 module), but I believe that marketing is in my blood.
Isn’t it interesting that SMN no longer represents me but my blog now instead?
I want to have fun, fun and more fun.
I want to say “Happy Birthday” to everyone; I want to be there; I want to be there earlier with everyone; I want it to be OUR bash; I want everyone to be the reason why it would be so damn fun.
If this is the one and only FC Bash I will attend in my life, I wanna have one that I will remember even when I am old and senile. But it is not about what I want, but what you want, what everyone wants; if everyone would be there, be fun and have fun.
Will you?
Well, that’s the question my comm would pose to me at times (sometimes, I would question myself that too).
Honestly, it’s not that easy to organise a gathering/Bday Bash for the club, especially if it’s by the comm. There are people watching and it’s very different when the organisers are the comm ourselves. My expectations, for one, would be different.
I like to observe and read up about gatherings by other FCs, as a form of learning (this President of yours is not very inexperienced with FC matters la..). But I gotta admit that being competitive in nature, I don’t like to be outdone. And I’m beginning to wonder if our hush-hush nature is the reason why we are so under-reported.
So my next step? To make our “Club” page more engaging for others to understand us better.
Someone asked me this question, rather, these questions. Okay, maybe not just someone but sometwothreefours.
“I wonder if RBKD will survive if you are not around.”
“I wonder if RBKD can survive if your comm is not around.”
My answer? Why not you guys tell me instead? 1 single email offering to be the bash’s OC and 1 other email offering help, you tell me what the answers should be.
I guess one of the privileges of visiting SMN is that you get to preview pages that might one day be on the website itself. If you were wondering where the “Club” page is, it has been moved to [here].
I have intentions to expand our wallpapers collection. So notice the additional page above?
Are you guys quite sure you guys misunderstood the whole IPC thingy? It’s 3 IPCs, not 30. Why are you guys so enthu about it? Be it in organising or attending one (I think it’s not just one but two three four five?), you guys are so spontaneous that none of us (Xaby, Bee and Me) anticipated this.
I was tempted to question if you guys truly understood IPC when I realised, of course you guys did. Because only people who understood could appreciate and will participate actively in that.
IPC is not even nice on papers, but you guys made it a scheme we are so damn proud of. Thanks for understanding, for accepting and for embracing IPC. And thanks for all your participation, I hope it doesn’t stop here :)
I LOVE my RBKD!!!
No forfeit, no incentives, but everyone changed into their PJs or sorts. And hello? Many in their PJs made their debut appearance in a RBKD activity. Damn on sia!
Class Club formal photo!!! Damn funny la.
Grace the water ghost; with Xaby and I attempting to be a headless
ghost. Look at the rest! Jokers!
I think ZF and Jon looked so comical! Haha. And so the “length”/height of Xaby = the “width” of 4 pax? Haha.
Bee looks cute hor, that small Tigger. And don’t you think the trio behind her (ZF, Jolie and Kaevan) looks like they are posing for some movie poster? Kaevan is making a call, Jolie is the bread murderer, ZF is the cool assassin. Funny!
