Yo people~
First post, and probably the last…. I think…
Okay, firstly would like to say that…
Teacher’s Day celebration is over! So…. Scream!~
Okay. I know.
Had a rough patch at the debrief…
A little lecturing here and there… you know… we learn from mistakes… that’s where the experience comes from!
-
Quoted from Kelvin yap our good friend/councilor/ senior or Mrs yusoff
‘ Failure is not about falling down, but rather, it’s about staying down’
Okay, I’m not telling you all to stay down but… if you think you have been failures, let me tell ya, you’re definitely not.
-Remember, resilience (sometimes) is the key to success. But of course… don’t force things that you know won’t budge… sometimes… you just have to ‘re-route’.
-
Oh yeah. Please do not see Eline as a ‘devil’ or even any exco members. Yes I know sometimes you have really put in a lot of effort and the desired outcome is what it is… It isn’t really what it seems. (Okay I know this sounds a little confusing)
Let me give you a metaphor, your computer is spoilt… you keep checking your desktop but everything seems to be fine. However, the cause of the problem is actually the computer hardware itself. (And you are unaware of it!)
Ok… if you still don’t get it, what I’m trying to say is… though you have did a good job, there may be some cog up’s somewhere and your seniors (in this case most probably your excos’ and eline bla bla~) is doing the ‘behind the scenes’ work. So yeah… not saying that your work is sloppy but, please don’t blame them. In time to come you’ll understand
Wait, that actually saves me the bullcrap metaphor… shit… What a waste of time.
-
Lastly, after hearing what eline said this morning, I realized that I have not been helping Khari (shit… I forgot how to spell… sorry … [insert right spelling of name here]) ok.. Seriously.. See.. This is what I mean by ‘behind the scenes’. That dude didn’t even complain about the work! Top it off… he is fasting and (okay this might sound like an excuse but,) he had 8 tests in a week! Really… hats off to him.
Just want to apologize for not initiating help and yeah… so well… it’s a lesson learnt and yeah…
Don’t hate your seniors! (Except me, I’m bad) muwahhaa. Just don’t hate the other guys (they’re good~) haha
I shall stop my crapping now and… cya
Good work guys too
Donavon

Feel it, breathe it, believe it and
You'll be walking on air
Go try, go fly, so high and
You'll be walking on air
-Walking On Air
Some verses of encouragement from a song in the CD that I've randomly bought through impulse today just because of a membership card that I later found out that I was underaged for it.
People, do not do something on impulse as you may have to kiss your $18 away.
Anyway.
Great job to everyone.
Whether you did something or nothing, it is still something for something and nothing is just as good as saying that you've done something.
And that something is something as it is still a form of contribution.
Your 'something' is greatly appreciated by the Student Coucil.
Keep up the good work!
Khairi.

I would like to thank Michelle for sitting in aa chair for hours without moving while doing the invitations. Deena for the Quiz slides and wrapping of gifts. NOT TO FORGET Khairi for the proposal, he was practically re-writting the proposal everyday due to the constant changes. Amanda who tried her best to contribute and plan this despite falling sick, and lastly our P and Vp for holding the team together.
There are a lot more people to thank. But it will take me ages to thank them all. So good job everyone!
Hope that nothing screws up, do your homework, AND GET A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
XOXO

I WANNA SAY SOMETHING TOO!
written at Tuesday, August 11, 2009
Why's everyone posting!?I WANNA POST TOO!
looking at previous posts, they've been so naggy (oops...)
So, i shall cut the crap. by a bit.
Gracias to everyone in the council!!! Yaayy xp
see, short and sweet. Cause if I was to list down everyone that i wanna thank..erm, you wouldn't like that.
Haahhaaha. & the farewell was GREAT!!:D Thankyou!!
Aw.. you guys are So cute! I like my Crazy Award XD(i still like your fruit punch, though it had no taste xp)
I almost fell apart during this year's Investiture. Man, that banner's a killer! Arggghh.
& I even spent my 16th birthday finishing up that **darn banner. ***
the Best part was, Someone just Had to change the theme, like so last minute. ***
& i'm telling you guys, that banner, is mine & HuiYee's blood and sweat and everything.
so i'm already very nice to say that you guys can only dump that banner(which is already faLLING apart)
when you guys get your own banner.
& if you wanna complain about our council shirt, do Shutup.
I'm proud to say that i've completed this investiture WITHOUT participating in any full rehearsal.
& you'll Never know how good I felt when i saw that banner up on the stage.
To you, i'm the happy-go-lucky.
One Life. Live Once. Make the Best out of it. Enjoy it to the fullest.
I'm optimistic to a point of annoying. but i live the way i like.
i don't sulk at a corner when you disagree, I choose to smile at you, loser.
Balancing the council, studies and personal life ain't a easy thing,
we've all learnt to make sacrifices, but its all worth it in the end.
In life there'll be many Ups and Downs. Duh, who doesn't know?
But I wanna say to Life, Bring it on.
What would I be like now, if I hadn't joined the council?
I wouldn't get the chance to eat free refreshments and raise those flags,
I wouldn't have known you guys. I would not have learnt that there's better things to do other then open up my textbook! xp
& i would never ever get to laugh into the phone in the middle of anouncement-making XD (shhh...)
So it's been a fullfilling three years. I've darn right enjoyed it and i have no regrets!
to my dear juniors: show us all you've got!
Oh, i've been wanting to say this for a very long time!!
( SO LONG , S**KERS! ahHAAAAhaaha XD)

Once a Leader, Always a Leader
written at Saturday, August 8, 2009
ahhh. Ben, you posted first..
anyways, i bet you guys should be able to guess the content that you're gonna be reading
but,
here goes.
(It's gonna be very long, be prepared)
i remembered the day, when i first stepped into deyi
the first thing that made me feel welcome was the big warm smiles on the councilors and PSL's face
their friendliness as they ushered me and my mum up
and ofcourse, how smart they looked with their ties and badges
the moment, i've made a decision, or should i say, an aim
"I want to be one of them"
One year passed, and, i did it, i was nominated by my form teacher, to be a Student Leader
(since the Councilor and PSL merged)
okay, fine, me and karen promoted ourselves to our form teacher,
but, we did get a form from her, so, we're called the nominated one
so, i went through my second camp in deyi,
A Leadership Camp, 'I m Possible' Camp in 2006 December.
That camp simply rawks, it was a great exposure in leadership, as we went through the talks, games, plannings, outings, everything.
If i hadn't remember wrongly, these people are my group mates
Sean, Angelina, Jolene, Xian Da, Nicole, and Jocelyn
Our group name was, "Ki Siao Kia"
yep, "ki siao kia'
and here goes our group cheer! it's funny
"
ki siao ki siao ki siao kia
we are deyi ki siao kia
day and night we go ki siao
24/7 ki siao kia
"
hahhahahas.
and with sean's great leadership, as well as our group's effort
we won a couple of awards too:D
2007...
Orientation came, and i was the class leader of class 101
together with jacklyn, xian da, jian feng and ai wei
it was tedious, yet, wonderful, nice, and WOW
the part that made really touched was when some of them told me that they like me the best
at that point of time, i was really glad that i took up leadership
the sense of satisfaction when you see that they enjoyed themselves, nothing can beat that.
next came my first investiture, 02 April 2007
i'm officially a Student Leader,
i made it:D
then, the indianzaar carnival with aili,
there were much conflict but, it was a success
it aint easy to be the OIC for the student council,
to give instructions to the seniors,
to plan and everything, it was tough
but i made it, thanks to all the people who supported me throughout
especially jocelyn
the next thing i realize was the farewell party for the seniors
a year past and their leaving
i dint cry that day, i wasnt that close to them
but i'll never forget that they sang birthday song for me twice
one in i-space, one opp school
i even get to cut the cake that humphrey baked together with nurul
that was, really nice
okay, think i'm getting too naggy, if i continued writing down all my experiences, you'll take hours to read them
so, i'll skip, do tell me if you're interested, hahha
being in a student council aint easy
you have to face the peer pressure from your friends
you have to bear the responsibilities and follow the rules and regulations
you have meet the extra expectations from he teachers
you have to sacrifice lots of your free time for the council
to fulfill all these
it aint easy, we all know, we have been through
but whether you guys can put it through like we did
depends on your will and mind
whether you have the strong mind to overcome all these
whether you are willing to be dedicated to the council
whether you have passion for leadership
whether you are enjoy leadership
see? it all depends on yourself.
let me tell you a tip
if you're at the edge of breaking down and you feel like quitting,
dont quit, yet
think.
think of the very first reason that made you take up leadership
think of the wonderful moments you spend with the council
think of all the fun you had
think of the satisfactions you'll receive after a successful event
think.
ofcourse, you can always look for your seniors for advices
find your inspirations before you even think of quitting
that doesnt shows that you're free
that shows how weak your mind is
be persistent or stubborn at times
you'll never realize how the outcome will surprise you
lastly, i would like to thank these few people...
Zi Xin and Chan Hong (although they already left)
for being my source of inspirations, who taught me great stuff, who gives me opportunities and inspirations, who believes in me, who never ever gives up on me. Thank you. Thank you Zi Xin, for letting me know how great leadership can be, thank you for pulling me through with all your encouragements. Thank you Chan Hong, for teaching me so much, although you dont show it, but i know, you have always been supporting me together with zixin. Though i've let both of you down, but, your teachings will always be with me, i've pull through, thank you.
Adeline,
for always being there, supporting me
attends to all my crap, but never leaves me
stopping all my crap, and stayed with me
thank you.
i'll remember all the fun we had together, all the times in the council room, doing stupid things, hhaha.
all the sec4 leaders who had stayed, and supporting the council
the council wouldn't survived till now without you guys.
i'll remember all the times and fun we had together
all the best for OUR examinations!
as for the sec3 and 2s,
i believe that you guys will pull through and bring the council to greater heights
dont give up just yet.
Eline!
remember what you promised me,
i really see your passion towards leadership, but at times, you must understand the responsibilities you bear and you must know when is the time to be serious and the time to have fun. work hard. and seriously, i really think you saw a ghost during your sec1 registration, cause i'm really not there.
Kasturi!
my great little junior who is always so polite, humble and quiet
dont look down on yourself, have confidence because we all know that you can do it
lead the council with your experiences, you need to express yourself more.
Khairi!
though i've only know you for a few months, i really see great potential in you and i really believe that you'll be able to completely take over me.
you've work hard, this is your reward. continue to strive for what you said during the interview, i believe you'll be able to achieve it. all the best! and hey, i know i've said this to you before but, i really liked the way you take photos! like so professional!
Deena!
my cheerful little junior! dont surrender to all the obstacles you face, you must stay strong and overcome them. believe in yourself. oh yar,i think you should sleep more, cause you always looked so tired..
Victoria!
always so quiet but always there to lend a helping hand to your seniors
i remembered you said you're actually not willing to be in the council during alumni camp 2007, but i believe you're have totally changed your mind yea? you see, leadership is just attractive isnt it? you need to be more outspoken, infront of your juniors, dont restrict yourself, just be who you are, i know what crazy and fun you can be:D and too bad, i cant count how many plates you eat..nevermind, i'll send a spy, heheh.
Sean!
for your information, none of the excos thinks you're not capable, we all see the potential in you, but sometimes, we do feel disappointed with your attitude. Dont give up on leadership yet, think, you have the skills, its just depends on whether you want to use it. AND, this is how my name is spelt! D A R Y L E N E!!
Kenji!
'AH BUSH' got my imaginary punches yet? hahha, again you're new to the council, but i'm really amazed with your passion towards the council and really admire the way you are able to liven up the atmosphere. i believe that you'll be able to make the whole council bond! lastly, good luck in collecting the funds:D
Amanda!
i really appreciate the effort you put in for the council, and i really hope that this will continues, you dont have to be afraid to take initiative, or refrain from taking them, compromise with the other, after all you guys have to work together for the next year. thank you for your invitations for outings etc, that made me really glad(:
Kelvin!
stop laughing! lol, next time when i see you again, dont try to laugh behind my back ar..and, me and esther are not twins!! you've really been dedicated to the council, and i hope it continues. You have really made lots of improvements as the years past, and thats really rewarding, still remember when i took your class during orientation, you dint even say a single word to me man...aiyo..ah well, work hard, and dont look down on yourself!!
Doreen!
woots! you can sing well! we should go karaoke again someday(: continue to be so enthusiastic! must help out with your fellow peers wor, you have the capabilities, dont you want to use them? not forgetting to bond and guide your juniors too!
Michelle!
how dare you hit my head with the balloon so many times yesterday! raaaaarrr. LOL. you have lots of interesting ideas, must remember to use them and help your fellow sec3s, especially the excos, okay? you're really nice and fun to be with, good luck for catching low socks and short skirts and etc!
Yoke Huei!
ahhhhh...bush. ohno, you kissed the floor!! lol, must be careful when you're walking wor, though at times i'll knock into telephone booths or pillars too..whoops. hahahs. must continue to be cheerful and optimistic, hang on and help one another! ahh, you and victoria can treat wounds when anyone is hurt also! LOL st.john de. hmm. you can treat your on wound when you fall down too! not bad not bad! LOL, not trying to curse you... XP
Donavon!

Wan Ying, Kim, shana and Zhi Bo!
you guys must really speak up more, if not i wont even realize that you're there!! dont feel restricted, even though you guys may be new, but after getting use to the functions, i believe that you guys can be as well as the others, have confidence!!
did i miss out anyone?
nope, okay:D
remember what i said, and all the best people!
Once a Leader, Always a Leader.
also, leadership is not a right, its a responsibility.
be responsible with everything you do!
last but not least..
the farewell was a success, but too bad, you guys dint make me cry
i was expecting to cry, i dint.
not because of the fish and co but, i dont have the urge to cry

Once a Leader, Always a Leader
written at Friday, August 7, 2009
SO... i guess this is it. The last post by 2009 EXCOs in the SLC blog.
Like i said the other time, time flies man.
Now that we already more or less left the council, it really calls for us old birds to think about the time when we first entered council.
As for me, i am together with Eline's batch, so i can identify a lot with the sec 3s' experiences. However, most of the old birds entered the council in December 2006. Back then, i was in 108/208 and Wenzhen was one of the dudettes who entered council. I always wondered why she can get into council and i cannot( aiya thanks to the mr. derrick tan luh) and i wanted to be a part of it because it was like so fun and happening and the hip people are all there. Basically, i wanted to join council for the wrong reasons.
And then somehow in sec 2, my form teacher, mdm chen bi jun gave me a chance to enter the council, together with Alvin Laiman and Wani. However she was comtemplating because i was quite naughty and preoccupied with other things on my mind.
She gave me a chance anyway.
I bet that she had a lot on her mind the day i stepped up as President.
And now i am passing on to the crazy fellow from my batch. LOL
really lots to say but hard to describe man.
I spent 1 whole year with a trainee leader's batch and then rose up to this position. Many people have doubts(i wonder if they still do). But at least one thing i can say; I survived my term.
Throughout this journey i keep wanting to give up, the pressure, the workload, together with SYF and my studies. I felt like breaking down. But i am glad i survived to see this day. I really do. The tears and the sweat and everything i've been through here, is not wasted.
I may not be the best President, but as long as i've done my best and never gave up, i have already done my part.
And so for the new President, i hope you will take it this way as well. No matter what happens, don't give up. This includes all the EXCOs and sec 3s. Never ever give up. Once a leader, always a leader.
And even now i still want to thank my VPs and EXCOs. Since i already mentioned Winarti and Wenzhen just now, i shall talk about my team of EXCOs and members.
Darylene is a really commited leader and is probably the most experienced councillor in the board. I think i wouldn't have survived this without her. And Adeline really contributed with her team of art people. That is how we survived invest. Ian Xu is more of a reasoning person than a guy who only know how to shout,but still got room for improvement la hahas. Shamien really done a good job with the admin. She really is brilliant. Fazlindah is the person quietly supporting Darylene's heavy workload as well, so a round of applause hahas. Karen will be the super enthu and super high exco and always go crazy and kee xiao one.
Jordon tammy Alvinphua AlvinLaiman Pamela Jocelyn Syazwani Brandon Aiwei and all the rest, i thank you guys for your commitment. We really worked together regardless of position. You guys are the best.
Even as i type this, i am reminded of all the "same kind of posts" that the seniors posted in 2007(on the verge of tears man....) and next year, you guys will know what i mean. haha
And well. My last post in Deyi SLC. from today onwards, you will never see my name here. So let me make it big. (oh well excos you all can post if you want)
4th council and beyond, go build a
legacy
