Recess Week

You know, this one week break just came so soon. I didn't expect 6 weeks to fly by so quickly. Maybe the elections and stuff made me so busy that I didn't really realise how fast the days were passing.

This was suppose to be a week of rest, and catching up on readings. Rest yes, definitely caught up with it. However I must admit today is already the end of wednesday and all that I have really done is some project work and readings associated to my projects. Im not really worried about my subjects, but very worried about my soci. It was definitely a module I regret taking, and hopefully I can run away with a decent grade. To think of it, not too long ago I was still contemplating on whether I should major in soci, I guess now I know the answer clearly.

As for club stuff, it has been quite a busy week. Cleaning of clubroom, meetings, thank-you dinner, meeting with the deanery, I must say it has been quite fun and enriching. Was just casually chatting with mum over dinner about IQ and EQ, with relations to me joining the MC. I guess mum and dad have left me to be independent, and Im sure they have trust in me to make my own decisions and Im sure I have their support in whatever decisions I make. She was saying something about EQ being more important that IQ in the real world out there, and Im sure being in the MC would help me in aspects of EQ.

Oh and another thing, was reading the blog of a fellow MC member, and stumbled upon something meaningful. She mentioned someone asked her if she was happy with life now, I suppose in relation to the hectic life of an MC member, and she replied that after thinking it thoroughly thru, she was sure that she was happy with her life the way it is now. I have the exact same sentiments. I guess I am just someone who just cannot be stuck with books and readings alone, I need something more, something more challenging and exciting, something to make my life that very much more vibrant!

Annual General Meeting

Before I go onto AGM, just wanna say my greatest fear struck me. I fell victim to the fever and thonsil virus again. It is just so frustrating that it comes on and off. There are just too many important events this week, and I just cannot afford to fall sick and miss anything.

I am at the Arts Club Annual General Meeting, and its already 2200hrs. Not sure what time it would end. Just glad that I am already feeling a little better. Something special I'm seeing during AGM, something that struck me. The 26th has worked so much together and has developed a bond so close and strong, and now that they have to step down, it has turned from a supposedly happy event to a very emotional ending.

This just gives me another reason why my choice to run for the 27th MC was the right one. Im very sure the 27th would feel the exact same sentiments the same time next year.

Sick and Busy

The fever and thonsil bug got me yesterday, and was feeling real sick and horrible. Went to the doctor and even got a jab in my butt. I started to worry the situation would be like Zhimin's, which kept him out for like 2 weeks. But fortunately I woke up today feeling very much better already. Will keep my fingers crossed though, as I am still on my road to recovery. Morever, the week ahead is quite an important one, so I hope not to miss anything. It's a busy week ahead.

Just some thoughts. Just wanna let the 26th know that they have done an excellent job. Although I only came into the 'Arts' picture late in June, I have been impressed with what I have seen so far. Kudos to the 26th!

The 27th will be taking over soon, so whatever talks there are about being sceptical about us doing well, please do keep them in reserves till we get the chance to prove ourselves. Many of us are facing a challenge which we have faced before or are prepared to face, but somehow or rather the whole thing still seems somewhat unfamiliar. We are learning and will continue to learn, but I'm sure there is one thing which would help us even more, and that is the continuous support. Please do give us your fullest support.

And please, the internals was decided by the 27th alone. We agreed earlier on that whoever gets the positions gets it on approval from majority of votes, so please do respect our voting decisions.

Cheers!

The Elections Journey

Every single day of the last two weeks have been real hectic for me. Elections just kept me so busy, but I must say it was really quite an experience. Some people ask me why I'm willing to go through all these, and I just look back at them and smile. With that smile, I'm telling them that I made a choice I would never regret, and I made a choice which will definitely make my life in University more enriching and exciting.

First it was campaigning and externals with all the posters and pestering of people, then immediately the tiring ROP came which I fortunately survived, then the ten hour long internals. Finally elections is over. Like I said, it was hectic, but what I have learnt and experienced definitely overshadows the tiredness.

I'm looking ahead now. The path has already been chosen but I must say its still rather hazy and misty, hopefully it will be a smooth journey ahead. I'm happy and confident, but at that same time that little bit of fear still resides in me. Definitely looking forward to working with the 27th.

Reuben, Lionel, Xinyu, Rabbit, Nick, Amanda, James, Jackson, Tyler, Shuning, Camy, Kenneth, Josh and Michelle, I see each and everyone of you as a great leader, and a great friend. We have come so far already, so now is our time to prove to the people that the choice they made was the right one, and that 27th will be a group of committed leaders out to make a difference not just in our lives, but in theirs too.

No doubt schoolwork has unfortunately taken a back seat in the last two weeks, and now its definitely time to catch up. Taking up this responsibility does not mean that my studies will start going downwards, it only means that my effort will have to start moving upwards. I believe I can do so.

Cheers!

Never Say Never

Sometimes the future can be predicted, but sometimes you just never know. I once said that I will never blog, but here I am writing this. I also mentioned before that I will not want to be a treasurer ever again, but now I have taken up the responsibility of being the Honorary Treasurer of the NUS Students' Arts and Social Sciences Club.

But of course, all these happened because I have my reasons.
