More about myself...
More about myself...
Birthday: 27 Feb
Zodiac animal: Monkey
Likes: Music (can't live without them), sports, anime/manga, movies (meaningful ones), Ki-Aikido, going to church, spending time with friends, helping others in times of need.
Dislikes: Being exploited, being seen as expendable, vulgarities, gambling, unfaithful/self-centered/hypocritical people, anything wrong or evil!
Music I like: Soundtracks from Naruto, Samurai X, High School Musical, The Lord Of The Rings,
Ketsui no Asa Ni (決意の朝に; In the Morning of Decision) by Aqua Timez / Brave Story theme; Daybreak's Bell by L'Arc~en~Ciel / Gundam 00 opening ...
(Basically I don't listen to Chinese songs much, mostly only soundtracks, instrumental, English and Japanese songs.)
Animes I watch: Samurai X, Gundam Seed/Destiny, Naruto/Shippuuden, Gundam 00
Favourite anime: Naruto.
Movies I like: The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy
Movies I find meaningful: Cars, Sky High, Meet The Robinsons, Brave Story, The Kid..
(do watch them!)
Other shows I like to watch: 24, CSI: Miami/NY
For those of you who are wondering, I am currently using my Chinese surname (杨=Yeoh), so that makes me Kelvin Yeoh. I've been using this name since my Singapore citizenship has been approved. However, Kartoyo is still my Indonesian surname, it's just that my name is registered as Kelvin Yeoh on paper officially.
Now, to clear the misconceptions. The reason I decided to use my Chinese surname (change to Yeoh) is mainly to fit in as Singaporeans (sounds more Singaporean), it's certainly not because I don't like my surname. It's a family decision prior to becoming Singaporeans. Those of my friends who still prefer Kartoyo, I appreciate your appreciation for my name. Haha! Well, you can still know me as Kartoyo!

Being a Leader
Me as a leader...
I have and am currently taking leadership appointments in school such as being an Outdoor Adventure Leader (OAL), Class Management Committee (CMC) / Class Chairman and as Quarter Master of the Chinese Orchestra.
Looking back, I personally feel that I wasn't a very good leader as I never realised the true meaning of being a leader then. I lacked initiative, decision making abilities and was too soft spoken. I seldom have my own opinions on things and couldn't stand up for myself.
Only from the start of this year onwards did I realise true leadership and began to take my roles more seriously. At the same time, I began to slowly develop my own brand of leadership.
Basically, I do not lead by being authoritative or by dictatorship. My leadership style is to lead firmly yet with kindness, along with a high regard for mutual respect. I seldom resort to strict and harsh treatments unless absolutely necessary. Also, I believe in leading by example and thinking ahead. Most importantly, my one golden principle as a leader is to never, under any circumstances, panic, become anxious or lose my cool. I strongly believe that by following this golden principle, a leader will surely be able get through any situation or solve any problem to the best of his ability. That, is my kind of leadership.
My personal boundaries...
My personal boundaries...
Everyone should have their own boundaries to uphold, meaning the set of values that one lives by and where to draw the line.
I used to have no boundaries of my own to uphold. I lived my life blindly then, following others and 'getting pushed around'. Unknowingly, my motivation to do things was out of fear and guilt. I had these 4 syndromes: fear of loss of love, fear of other's anger, fear of loneliness, and fear of guilt. Subconsciously living with these 4 fears has been tough. I had always did things to please others because I was afraid of other's anger, thus ignoring my own feelings and happiness. I dare not tell my friends about the things that they've done that I strongly feel is wrong because I was afraid to lose their friendship. I had always helped and did things for my friends out of the fear of guilt of not helping them. And yet I felt that I was being a good person to others, but in fact I was miserable, and I could not understand why at that time. I thought that I should be happy making others happy.
It was only later that I finally came to realise what went wrong: Out of my fear of loss and guilt, my motivation to help others was not out of love, but out of fear of loss and guilt. How can one be happy when all the things he's done is out of fear or guilt, but not of love? Therefore, I had found the answer. I was completely yet unknowingly ignoring myself, my feelings, my welfare. I couldn't stand up for myself because I had no boundary to uphold. I was always saying 'yes' to people because I thought that I was loving them by agreeing to help them. But now I know, loving does not mean always saying 'yes', it also means knowing when to say no. Thus I have learned an invaluable lesson.
Even though I am still not so good at it, but I've began standing up for myself more, for what I believe in, for the values that I live by. I've learned to say 'no' to others when they've broken or crossed that boundary. To uphold your boundary also means upholding your freedom. I was no longer trapped in the cage of guilt or fear. ^^
Me as a Christian...
Me as a Christian...
As a Christian, I grew up, lived and stand by Christian values. I strongly believe in righteousness in whatever we do, grace to forgive and forget and to always bless and show kindness to my enemies. These are the 3 more important values to me that I ought to uphold.
As Christians, I believe that we should strive to uphold these values despite our sinful human nature, no matter how hard it is. Our sinful nature or the fact that we are not perfect cannot be used as an excuse to deter us from doing our best to uphold these values. Even though we may fail to do so at times, we should never cease to stop doing the right thing.
-Embrace the changes God has in store for us.
"The Lord will work out his plans for my life--for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever." PSALM 138:8
About myself...
About myself...
I am more of a self-reserved person, even though I can become 'high' at times of excitement. I feel that I am a rather kind, good-natured and easy going person, but that does not mean that anyone should take advantage of that.(否则我就会不客气的) Though I may be a bit quiet sometimes, however it's not because I am shy or 'emo', its plainly just because I have nothing or do not know what to say. Yes, I admit that I am not very good at starting a conversation, but if you were to engage in a conversation with me I can actually talk a lot. Even though I may be a serious person at times, and look grim and unapproachable on the outside, but inside I'm actually more welcoming and friendly (though I may not be able to display it outgoingly).
I used to be a reckless blockhead and an emotional boy, but now, I feel that I'm a more careful, thoughtful and stronger person as a whole. This change was due to the numerous painful incidents of being taken advantage of, backstabbed and betrayed by the people around me, even those close to me. This way, although I learned to become a more wary person, I must admit that it has also caused me to become a bit too sensitive and suspicious of people. Learning how to trust people again was indeed hard, but with much help, I believe that I'm a much better person than before.
Now, I always try to stand upright confidently (not slouch anymore) and smile more :)
My Blog Theme
My blog theme...
As you can see, the theme for my blog is actually Samurai X - Himura Kenshin. Yup, Samurai X is one of my favourite anime. What I like about Kenshin is his kindness, good-naturedness and his strong will to help others and to protect his loved ones through righteous means, always seeking for a peaceful solution out of a problem and never willing to resort to violence (even if he has to.)
-"Violence is never a good way out of any problem, that it is."
Hi all!
Hi all!
Yo!
I created this blog for the primary purpose of expressing myself to let my friends know and understand me better as a person (since I am, or often viewed as a guy of few words..)
Haha, hope you all like my blog!
Enjoy~
Btw, thanks to my little bro, hubert, szemin & jeanette for helping me make this blog.
