Early Mornings
Isn't it just irritating how you suddenly just wake up early in the morning before the alarm rings, only to find yourself waking up a couple of hours early. And then knowing that you're still tired, you wanna go back to bed but somehow just cannot go back to the sleep mode? Well, I am getting that now, and to think that I actually need the most sleep for the longest day of the week today. Oh well.
Two words I mentioned alot on my blog a few months back, but haven't really resurfaced since, arts camp. Later today will be the arts camp 08 committee's first ocomm meeting, and suddenly it just dawned upon me how time really flies. Just not too long ago I still remember having my first ever arts camp meeting in one of the AS6 classrooms, and now it's hwee guang's turn. I'm sure he will do well, and be able to stand strong to face the many challenges that will surely come. Just from how much I know about hg, I definitely think he is up for it. Of course, it would not just be him alone, but also his committee. I'm sure he will soon understand the importance of a strong committee, just like I did.
Ever since arts camp ended, I have received some casual remarks over how I ran the camp, and how I managed my committee. I took a few in to reflect and learn upon, and I threw some away after some thought. Some would say I am too serious, but I would humbly suggest that I was perhaps being more task-oriented. Some would say if only things were done in another way, but I would say 'if only' are two words too over-rated and over-used.
Sometimes I just wished people better understood the hefty pressure of being responsible for such a major camp; Sometimes I just wished people better understood the pressure of dealing with so many mishaps; Sometimes I just wished people better understood the difficulties of getting the attention of over 40 tired ocommers after 5 sleepless nights; Sometimes I really just wished that people could magically switch roles to know how it really feels. Well, then again, thats not possible, so some people just won't, and will never understand. Sigh ...
Looking back, I'm just glad that I managed things the way I have, therefore no regrets. Sure, some things could have been better, but thats always the case. There is a famous phrase, of 'to never look back, and to always look forward'. But sometimes, I personally feel that it is ok to look back, to savour and to learn. If things weren't as ideal as you hoped for, you move on forward seeking to improve from mistakes learnt. But if things were ideal, you move on forward with a smile on your face knowing that it was a job well done.
