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)
