yar . you guessed it ..
im here to blog about the investiture and post-investiture effects.
sighs .
there's so much i want to say .
and i dont know where i should start from .
rehearsal after rehearsal .
complain after complain .
shouting after shouting .
whine after whine .
drop of sweat after drop of sweat .
drop of tear after drop of tear .
since the dino ages ..
a drop of water dripped out from the corner of my eye .
i tried to stop it ..
acting tough was no longer enough to hold the feeling .
the sudden surge of emotions and memories overwhelmed me .
i fell to the pictures that flashed across my mind .
especially those of our own investiture .
i was surprised that i could still recall the feeling while waiting at the stairs ..
waiting to get on stage .
waiting to be invested as a 8th Student Councillor .
it didnt matter that i did not get the position i wanted so badly .
i was still shivering a little .
because 10seconds later ..
after i get my Council pin ..
eyes will be on me .
be it behaviour or homework ..
and i know .
i know that the way i carry myself is something that i need to work on . badly .
that just add up the nervous feeling .
never was i so stressed to get on stage ..
my ego, my usual fall-on, went missing .
stress as i was .. i did everything right .
thankfully ..
1 year later ..
im now the senior ..
waiting to pass on the legacy .
waiting to pass on the duties and responsibilites .
now .. as i stand at the stairs ..
waiting to get onto stage .
im a different person altogether .
going up to the stage is already a 'nothing' ..
from a easily nervous young kid .
the person standing now is a confident and matured lad .
only made possible with the help of Pioneer Junior College's 8th Student Council .
nothing like that would have happened without this bunch of people .
fate brought us together .
and now .. nothing will break us up .
cliche as it may sound . it is from the level 0 of my heart .
thanks for enduring my lousy behaviour and bad temper .
guess nobody will want the kind of start to the term in office i made ..
it is as bad as how anyone can imagine .
often losing temper, storming out of meeting, hurling vulgarities as if it is a full-stop, making a fool out of myself .
just to name a few of the bad points .
now .
matured . grown up . and smart .
by smart .. i mean i've learnt lots of things .
especially on public relations and myself .
i know what is my strength and weakness now .
i know where i can excel and where i may fall ..
i know when i should clear the stage for someone else rather than hogging the stage while making the wrong decisions ..
thank you 8th Student Council .
no . thats not the end .
think the only time i worked with Relations Committee is the Patio .
aka . "our legacy"
Lewis, Wee Lin, Pei Qi, Yang Yi, Timothy, Pei Wen and Farveen are the few who worked so hard in order for this to happen .
and because of the Patio ..
we became the first to 'vandalise' the school walls legally ..
i will never forget the afternoons we spent together painting the walls and washing the brushes .
during SCAP, i was heading the Welfare Committee together with Nina .
coincidentally, the 7th Welco head, Shawn, is the clan master for my clan - Nathan, during Orientation 1.
so i was pretty close to him .
had so much fun shopping around ShengSiong to stock up the Sanctuary .
and nearly went bald when i was trying to do up the duty timetable .
ohh ! and all the arranging of funitures ..
as cool as it can get ..
didnt really work together with Welco in the term except the operation of Sanctuary .
ahh ! i nearly forgot to mention the morning umbrella service !
Bong Yap, Sabrina, Marcus, Karen, Izzati are always there to keep things in the right order .
walking out of the school gate even though the bell has rang is something i'll definitely remember .
how exciting !
i would say the Publicity Committee are filled with people with strong emotions .
Ciau Er, Seow Huan, Yan Bing, Zhong Ri, Priscilla, Ramya, Lina are the crazily talented and creative force in 8th .
never produce an art piece that is not nice before i guess .
countless Orientation banners, shirts, Opacks, Patio's walls and etc ..
lets just say the 8th video in this investiture made the whole Council shed a tear or more ..
the countless meetings we had and the never ending minutes are taken care of by the Main Executive Committee .
with Wilfred as the President and Zhi Lun, Janice, Preben and Jian Lin leading the Council .
organising the never ending meetings and making sure the Council is heading in the right direction are part of their duties and responsibilites ..
and who dares to complain about their achievements ..
Polo House Captain .
a position i was so against ..
but in the end . it became something that will occupy a part of my heart till the start of the next dino age ..
im really glad now that im inside the House Executive Committee .
i actually thought that the Hse Exco will just crash whatever hopes and aspirations i have as a Councillor .
largely because of the people inside .
initially .. i didnt really like the people in this .
Nazri - stuck up face
Firdaus - quiet and anti-social
Vicky - lets just say we have less than 5 conversations
Darren - ultimate slacker
Andrew - stubborn ass
yes . the first impression of all the Hse Capts .
Vicky left us since i dont know when ..
and so .. the Hse Exco is left with 5 dudes with personalities that are no where near each other .
and slowly .. Espritco, the largest committee at the 8th investiture, became the smallest committee at the 9th investiture . excluding the Mexco .
members from Espritco left one after another .
leaving behind the head, Natalie, ONLY .
but somehow .. as events pass ..
the Hse Capts became closer to one another !
and we worked alot better than before .
looking back at it ..
just how thehell did it happened !?
our personality and working contrast is like the colours black and white .
no similarities to talk about ..
just that they belong to the 'colour' group and we belong to the 'Council' group .
to name a few events ..
Cross Country, Sports Day, Inter-House Games, Amazing Race
and how well and successful were the events man ..
especially Amazing Race .
not only did we and the participants enjoy the event ..
im pretty sure the teachers too .
Ms Tan and Ms Oh ..
im really glad that i had a chance to work together with the 2 of them ..
Ms Tan will always be the one who wants to know about each and every detail and make sure we are keeping up with the deadlines .
Ms Oh will always be the one who ensures that there isnt any loopholes in our proposal and cool down the atmosphere when we'r all tight up .
and again . like the Hse Capts, the first impression of them was very bad too .
i missed the very first meeting with them because i was doing some stuffs .
wait . i remember ! i was doing up the Cross Country's notice board .
the meeting was during Orientation ..
and all of the Hse Capts are already dying because of our duties in Orientation .
but they still insisted us on handing up a proposal and going through a round of recce .
so i thought that they are another teachers who dont care about our well being and all .
but it turns out to be the opposite .
i bet they'll miss us like we'll do for them after this .
the friendship, in a way, we forge during the planning and the execution of the event will be something i will treasure in time to come .
the gossips we share only made us more bonded as a team .
this council journey is a beautiful and exciting one .
and only made possible because of you .
and also the SCTAs,
Mr Tong, Ms Tng, Ms Nora, Ms Xiao, Mr Tan, Mr Koh, Mr Wong, Ms Lee, Ms Ng, Mr Ling
i hope i didnt leave out anyone .
i enjoyed myself throughout this year !
and now .. its just about letting it go .
staring the the blank space above my uniform's pocket will only make me remember the fond memories .
again,
Thank you the one and only,
Pioneer Junior College's
8th Student Council .
One Council, One Lifetime .
heys .
i think imeem will take the world's time to load .
so maybe you wanna to listen to your own's .
Disenchanted - My Chemical Romance .
yea .
no prize for guessing if this entry is gonna be emo .
damn it ..
got back all my results for mids .
in the order of h2s, h1 n gp .
EUUEE
this is definitely NOT encouraging !
usually .. by mids .. a j2 student should be gettin like Cs ?
at the worst .. probably Ds ..
but im no where NEAR there .
i dont even have a D !
damn it .
n the fact tat my 2 Us are pretty bad .
tat makes things worst !
had a talk with the guys after school .
but more or less bcos of Josh who is thinking about retaining .
yea . gave it a thought before .
n its definitely not in my list .
for me .. its either i score well for A's n make it into the local uni .
or i go overseas ..
im NOT gonna retain at this point of time .
n im definitely not gonna screw A's n go poly after that .
not that i can afford the fees at a foreign uni ..
but im not gonna consider other options that r worst off .
im gonna be Josh's best frien n dedicate a part of my entry to him .
(:
like what we've said just now .
there's still time if we start now .
n yes . like NOW !
n we'll have to work doubly hard . or maybe change the doubly to 'infinity-ly' ..
its not like none of us have not gave a thought for retaining ..
the thoughts of retaining went through my mind a billion zillion times .
but like i've said earlier .. the other options are more viable .
we can all safely say that we'll have time to start studying if we retain .
but what are the odds that we'll start studying ?
j1 mids . did like balls .. n we said we will start working .
j1 promos . a little better . but still like crap . n we swear that we'll study during the dec hols n do all the tuts once j2 term starts .
j2 CT . come on .. we'r not new to this . we still fcuk it all up .
n now ! j2 mids .. we all did like balls.
n we'r now left with 3 more months to the life-defining A levels examination .
not only so . like what Ash said . you'll be ALONE ehh .
n no . dont tell me you'll become a loner n start studying .
bcos u r Josh n you'll make new friends like in [blinks] . ah yes .
we've all been through this shit more than enough times ..
what say you we just start studying now .
n stop being a pessimist ..
no point arguing our lives off n conclude that we'll just stick around n still take the papers this year .
im sure we're already getting the pressure .
fcuk the 'i'll-do-it-tml' mentality n we start studying NOW !
quoting from you,yourself . we'r not stupid . we'r just too fcuking lazy .
so screw that laziness n start studying now .
all is not lateeeee ....
IF we start NOW !
you get me ?! u stupid boy .
now say u love me .
(:
alrights . think now i've motivated myself .
its time to study .
A's is no longer like O's where i can just study in 1month time .
i MUST start now ..
sighs .
i dont wanna screw A's .
like i mentioned earlier ..
A's is the life-defining paper .
its either do or die .
n NOPE ! i dont wanna die .
procrastination is a big NO NO !
face the reality that i have no time left .
this is like fighting against a cancer or something ..
its a war of determination .
the end result will depend on the amount of effort put in .
sighs .
this feeling sucks big time .
im really a big time pessimist when it comes to studies man .
damn it !
i dont wanna think about the consequences of screwing A's .
i just wanna think about having the aces in my results slip n trouble on which course i shld take .
alrights !
thats it .
just
start
studying !
cheers .
ciao ..
(:
i've forgotten how to even start this .
seems so difficult out of a sudden .
slowly ..
hellos .
guess what ..
this is my 100th entry !
wow .
im impressed with myself ..
lets look forward to the 1000th ..
i think i'll never reach that la .

already missing it actually ..
never gonna walk out of school bcos the guards are chasing us .
booooooooo .....
how sad .
):
but what is a council without politics probs .
was still talking about it ytd with the 2 guys .
sighs .
politics is like air in council man .
but since i didnt attend the elections ..
i shall just shut up .
i have no stand to talk at all .
):
im not exactly very satisfied with the current situation though .
hah .
keep quiet i shall be .
im thinking of doing something for the hse capts .
but i got no idea what to do ..
we've been through so much tgt during this term .
im really glad im in one comm with them .
like i've said before .
though we'r people with very different personality ..
we still worked well tgt .
i guess the differences complement each other ..
look at cross country .. amazing race .. sports day .. etc .
i think it can be compared to orientation man !
(:
ah well ..
enough of being random .
oh ya . a chinese song for a change .
(:
pretty much my life now .
calm n clear sky ?
hah .
thats all for now ..
till the next time ...
(:
settling down .
finding a chance ..
no where near it now though .
i'll work hard and prove im worth it ..
