Love thyself.

Images: Googled under 'narcissism' and 'camwhores'

Narcissistic Generation.

Hah. I am willing to bet that you have been snapping pictures of yourself either secretly or publicly. I mean come on, it is the 'Me' Generation's culture. Probably around 4 to 5 people actually take pictures of themselves and their friends. Yes, the self-captured ones.

Narcissism is a state where one needs constant admiration from other people. Wanting to be acknowledged, and wanting to be noticed either for their differences of their similarities amongst the group.

Narcissism takes different measurements especially within this 'Me' generation. From posting self-captured portraits of yourself and a couple of friends to telling the whole world of your daily routines and wanting to mesmerize people about your distinct characteristics. Of course, these doings are not wrong. It's one thing that you seldomly do that, but to change your profile picture on facebook everyday or post your pictures on your blog daily about your daily routines is another. Those have traits of 'in constant need of admiration'.

For example, posting a hot shot of yourself in a bikini or boardshorts, only because you secretly think that you look gorgeous in it. Hence, you want to share it to the world as you want to be admired/acknowledged.

Or it could even be your simple blog without pictures; only your deep, intellectual thoughts. Although you do not want to be acknowledged physically by posting your gorgeous pictures, but these simple blogs too have a pinch of Narcissism. Because really, one can't help but wanting to share their bits of life and to get acknowledged and admired consistenly.

Far from the digital world, simple narcissism ponders upon on how one needs to be the center of attention most of the time. It could be the mundane conversations you share with your group of friends, and how that specific individual always have that 'better' story at a 'greater' length. And no one can really beat his/her story.

At our talkshow, we aim to discover the realms of the Narcissistic generation. We aim to discover more about our inner selves that tribute to our narcissistic-oriented actions. Why? Are we lack of self-confidence hence, we need to be admired to feel better? Or we simply think that we are superior than others, hence we are proud of our abilities are, physically, intellectually?

How far does this culture promote confidence and strengthens one's individualism? Would the Narcissistic generation overshadow the ideals of a collectivist society to its outweighed individualistic ideology?

So dear readers, come feast your mind at YOUTH B.E.A.T.S' talkshow. Let's provoke and challenge our dear selves with this self-discovery topic.

Blessed Deepavali !!

On behalf of all our Organizing Committee....
we wanna wish you & your family

HAPPY DEEPAVALI!!

Hope you enjoy the Festival of Lights as much as we did!

Kim Ong as our Speaker

Waking up every morning, she looks at herself in the mirror and reminds herself to smile. It’s like her personal motivation to start the day afresh, optimistically. That’s Kim Ong for you, a 24 year-old blogger from Ipoh who currently relishes life in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Also a Digital Interactive Executive in the advertising industry, she has what it takes to connect her clients with the web – her passion.

Her passion with the web started in 2003 on Xanga as she eventually took on her own domain name, creating a brand name for herself, kimong.com since 2007.

The peak of her blogging in 2008 was when she was featured in FHM Magazine (May 2008) and also recently in Clive Magazine (October 2008). On her blog, Kim shares with readers her innate passion and zest for life through fashion, events, travel, food and so on. Of course, narcissism is one of the main aspects you would come to realize as she has a category called “Vanity”, where she shares with readers tips on taking care of oneself.

In Kim’s spare time (apart from blogging, that is) – she likes to watch Korean dramas and also spends a lot of time with her friends and family members. She believes that it’s important being rich with love than being rich monetarily without having the love of people. Afterall, kimong.com is mostly about optimism through love.

**oppss....did we forget to tell you it's LIMITED EDITON?! :)

Let's get the BEATS on...

Hitting the B.E.A.T.S... are you ready?

Youth B.E.A.T.S
stands for
Boundaries . Emotions . Afflictions . Triumph . Social.

Youth BEATS embraces almost every aspect in a youth's life.

Boundaries

From the boundaries that set by
our parents since we are young,
our educator while we are pursuing our education from a child till we are approaching adulthood,
our country as a citizen,
our society that we live in...

Sometimes we think or thought about it. But in reality, do you know how much will you hold yourself before crossing the limit? Or how much more will you let yourself to be rebellious?


Emotions
love, pain, desire, anger,
likeness, hatred, admire, jealousy, ambitious....etc

The list can go on and on and on and on....we all feel it, not all the time, maybe sometimes..
But do you let your emotions control your actions or the other way? How much more can you take it all in? Do you talk it over or bottle it up ?


Afflictions
broken family,
lost of loved ones,
divorced parents,
betrayal,
financial stability,
peer pressure...

We may come from different background, family, society that we live in, culture, race or religion...
but, that does not eliminate from being in some similar situations...

Triumph
Graduating with flying colors make our parents proud,
Winning a race,
Raising up a child,

Putting aside all the hardship or negative comments that we sometimes receive as a youth,
but, do you ever realize that there are many incidents that we should be proud of ourselves?
Do we let them emphasize the single black dot or make them realize the plain white wall at the background?


Social
The society that we live today, compared with the society that our parents lived,
are almost not the same...
The parties,
clothes,
acquaintances,
trend settings,etc.

Either we are swimming along or against the current,
its really up to us...to blend in or not to blend in?


Heat the B.E.A.T.S,
Voice Out,
You Decide.

Who . Where . What

Youth B.E.A.T.S is a talk show project organized by SEGi College Subang Jaya's American Degree Program, Effective Listening (Comm 115) Fall 2008. Our Organizing Committee consists of 75 students including our subject Lecturer.

With YOUTH as our theme, our main goal is to create a platform for students - the young voice, leaders of tomorrow; to voice out, share and exchange their opinion on issues that will be discussed.

We are hitting the BEATS on 15 November 2008 (Saturday) at our very own home-ground, SEGi College Subang Jaya, Lobby Area. We will be starting at 10 am and it will go on for 2 hours, with non-stop agenda.

You will be expecting :
>> a Fabulous Host (our very own Oprah Winfrey),
>>> a line-up of 4 Glamorous Guest Speakers,
>>>> Marvelous games & activities,
last but not the least,
>>>>> the very Gorgeous Organizing Committees :)

All are welcome to join in the fun!

Bookmarks for Fund Raising

Bookmarks will be for sale as part of the fund raising for our talk show.
The words, Boundary, Emotion, Afflictions, Triumph, and Social stands for our title Youth BEATS!

Pricing are yet to be announced.
