Everything have to come to an end one day but….. NOT SO FAST!!! I don’t want it to be. We have gone through the last worksession and now that eleco camp is over, we will go through a series of ultra gruelling internal elections. I hope that the new councillors will do a much better job especially the leaders… in going the right direction. After 1 year, I felt that the 31st was not as zai as what we could have been. Perhaps as some have said, we started off in the wrong direction and ended up in a different place. Nevertheless, all of us learnt alot, council makes you learn, forces you to grow and bullies you into taking in new experiences. How can you not benefit from council? I did very much and I believe that all of us gained something at the end of the year.
As I watched the juniors go through the motions of initiation and eleco camp, I was remnded of how it had been for me. I had flashes of memories that came back to me as I recalled what I did at that particular instant last year. Last year during initiation, we were whacked with ugly yellow paint. This year, we were much nicer, we decided to whack the elects with pretty pink. Somehow, I thought that I would remain clean when painting the elects(so did many others). We were obviously naive as we turned out almost as pink as them. There went all thoughts of revenge.
Eleco camp was another opportunity to whack them into shape as our senior had done to us. After one year, I can understand how the seniors thought that we needed to be whacked but I felt that this year, we were much nicer to them, we were strict but aprroachable. This was better than last year when the seniors were UNREASONABLE. The programme of eleco camp was very much the same as last year, I can remember very clearly what I was ding last year. It was somewhat weird.
There were differences alright. Last year we slept in stuffy classrooms, this year we had aircon and I had 2 tables to sleep on..wahaha. Last year i had plenty to do with almost no free time, this year I had almost nothing to do. Last year, I had to display my kiasu tendency and cheeong for toilet due to the fact that there was curfew. This year, I had plenty of time to bathe as and when I want to. Most importantly, I felt inadequate and had slight inferiority complex last year, I was confused and intimidated about everything. I don’t know what I should do and whether I was doing it right. This year, I am more confident of my place and had no pressure to be someone other than who I am as I watched them go through the process. We talked alot about the juniors and I was wondering if the seniors did the same thing(Mikail said that they did). We talked about who did what, old scandals, who we liked and who we disliked. The leaders were quite obvious and the 32nd looks quite impressive.
I hope that my council term will not end so fast but I would not want to go through it again. I have gained so much from council but I don’t think I have the energy and enthusiasm to go through the worksessions and the whole journey again. Even if I did, I would not want to. There are alot of things that I would do and would not have done if I am not a councilor. I would play cards, I would break a few rules here and there and i would probably pon school events. If I was not in council, I wouldn’t have had so many special moments that no one but a councilor can experience and the so much emotions that come with it.
My council term has not been a bed of roses, there were times that I felt awkward and self-conscious, times when I felt out of place, times when disappointment hits and times when I felt that everything seems meaningless.
There were also times when I felt top of the world, times when I was so happy laughing and crapping with my friends, times when we were acting juvenile and retarded, times when I really felt that council was the best thing that happened and times when I felt all the hardships were jolly well worth it.
30 more days to investiture and I will treasure the time I have left to wear the cuncil badge.
Coming o an end April 18, 2005
Fattiness April 2, 2005
I am seriously absolutely GROWING FAAAAAT!!! DAMN! Its so scary. I ate Suki sushi yesterday to the extent that I couldn’t stand up straight after coming out of that horrendous place. Had to hunch my back and walk like a pregnant lady. Huishan was on the verge of collapsing… shinwei looked very jialat too..Yanling amost couldn’t button up her skirt..In one word, we looked PATHETIC but at least we got back our money worth. I invented alot of new methods of hiding the food TOO so that we would not get charged.hehz.
Yesterday was BAD. Today was WORST. During lunch , we made a pact to share 2 packets of food so that we can redeem our sins yeaterday but in the end..I started kupping everybody’s food. You see..the food we had were different and I just HAD to try all he different types. Sigh. AND THEN, aloy HAD to appear with a bloody ben&jerry’s choc fudge brownie. And I just HAD to eat that yummy ice cream too. It was damn good!! Brought out our craving for MORE ice cream so after school, gina, peiwen, lala and me went to Coro to get one tub of choc ice cream and started pigging out(lala even prepared spoons from the welfare room). I know..I am so dead right. That’s not all..then i went to Wadevato get mash potato and chicken soup and we had a mini picnic together with the drinks that gina and lala bought and leng’s fries. It was a MAJOR disaster and I am paying for it now!! All those stupid food culminated to my downfall. BAH!!
