well, 2nd council investiture was ytd.
it marks and end of my journey with the council.
looking back these years, or in fact, these 4 years,
i really feel a lot, for the things/events that takes place, for the the people i've known thru this.
i just realized, that it is the Student Leader and the Student Council that adds colours to my Sec school life.
days of joy and enthusiasm, days where tension and anger arose, days that i wept silently behind close doors, days where i just relax, it's all with them.
i can say, i'm very baised, coz till today, which is 2 years later, i still prefer SL than SC.
why do i say so?
coz SL taught me things that are unseen with the naked eye,
SL forged the relationship between the leaders and teachers,
SL was a place, where ppl wont forget.
when SL was 2 years old, i was choosen to be in. (i was a sec 1) (2005)
things were so different from primary sch when i was in SL.
i had many 'first time' in SL.
the first time that i went to camps,
first time that i climb mountains,
first time that i was the youngest vice president in SL,
first time that i talk in public,
first time that i type proposals,
first time that i hold meetings,
first time that i was given the opportunity to unleash my capability.
all these will not happen, if i wasnt in SL.
i may just be still an normal student till today.
it was made happened, becoz of Mr Yap and Mr Ee.
these 2 people really made a huge difference in these 4 years of my life.
they gave me the chance, to trip and fall, and learn along the way,
they taught me to be a better leader, they gave me all that they have.
it was really an previllegde for me.
but things were a little different, towards the end of sec 2. (2006)
there was an merger, that was insisted by the school, for SL and Prefects.
that batch of SL excos were super unhappy. let alone myself.
all of us held on the the mindset, that SL and Prefects ARE different.
SL adds life and colours to the sch, plan events, organise activities, to serve the sch.
but Prefects are mainly on discipline, and more discipline and still discipline.
we tried to resist the merger, but as what i've said, it was being insisted, thus, outcame the Student Council.
the whole structure was being change, i was forced to step down as a VP at that time for the sec 3s to take over.
i was just an pioneer to SC.
i lost my enthusiasm for serving, as i felt that it was useless for me to work so hard, to be critized and seen as an alien by the senior exco.
i always rmb what Mr Ee told me.
"if i cant change the situation around, why not make the best out of it?"
i decided to gave it last shot, but nothing change and i cant force myself to compromise the standards of being a leader.
so since sec 3, i lost that passion. and without Mr Ee ard, there was no one to guide me along.
without passion, i cant do things well.
soon after in 2007, the sec 4s had to step down.
the new batch of excos have to be choosen.
and i was nominated. i thought, perhaps there's still hope.
but apparently, things got worst for me.
tension arose among us. i was reluctant to do work.
zul, being a SL in the past as well, had the same sentimental as me.
but our 'forces' are too weak to rebel back.
so we decided to go on strike. we were slack and was seen as 'nothing to do people'.
and the fact was nothing was given for us to do.
perhaps that's the division between the SL and Prefects in the Council.
hopefully, the next batch will not have division, for they're the 'pure councillors without mixtures'
i believe with the new addition of new Council Mistress, Mr Chng, these batch of people will lift up the name of SC and shine even brighter than SL last time.
till the end of the day, SL with the seniors, Mr Yap and Mr Ee, will be seen as a closest family to me in sch.
They made the difference and expose the leader in me. Esp Mr Yap.
the past will always be the past. i shall look forward in the near future, to work tog with Mr Ee again.
they will always be held on closely to me heart.
still i wld like to really comment on Pei Ting.
She's really great. she seems to me, as the most calm person and 'it's okay' person.
i'm really sorry to her, as she'll always do the job.
she cleans the room, did the proposal for the box, and did everything without complains.
if there's a best exco mbr award, this will goes to her. hahas.
you guys are awesome.
live to fullest! 3:53 PM.
