reflections

hey! alOT to blog. had GM yesterday.. yup. sO much feelings to blog bout 6th council. well,my day started with me talking to laiyan n lishi about how i really felt about the way elections was being carried out. i was talking to them feeling full of disappointment and helpless in changing the way elections was being carried out.den again, i thought.. is it really helpless or maybe we're just too lethargic to do anything about it.the way our elections was being carried out didnt give 6th council a good headstart. we weren't about to let history repeat itself.. but why is it happening? wheres the initial passion enthusiasim and zest to create a great 7th council? why did we excos let this happen? is it really no ability to change things or is it that we're not trying? with these disappointment, council rm was filled with a sense of silence. guess thats when laiyan lishi and i decided that its time we took up some actions and not to leave things to su. sorry su for always letting u be the one to hold all the responsibility. anyway, we called for an exco meeting at 3.30 just before meeting dennis yeo,6th and 7th council. we met as an exco.. this really made me feel better. i love my excos to the max. we could always share our opinions openly and somehow we were always standing along the same line. my confidence started building up as we as an exco sorted out things and ways to make the extended election a better one. i was really glad that the elects are now given a platform to speak up and campaign. things looked like it was getting on the way.. just like how we had initially visioned election to be. we had a meeting with dennis yeo. he asked us a few questions(summarised): what i have gained in council? this just cannot be explained in words. i gained friendship.lots of them. i learned to get through hardships obstacles and learn to overcome them and pick up. many leadership qualities i learnt.. confidence from all the mceeings, teamwork from all the conflicts and bondings, joy, fun, tears.. yup 6th council changed me alot. it made me a better person. What is something i want to do differently and to tell the seventh council? ELECTIONS! definitely. many other things too. we all make mistakes. if i could i would definitely made sure we had reached out to the school even more. sometimes we are really just not being the voice of the students. really feel bad for that. but yup if i could, 7th council, i would tell u.. listen to their voices.
oh well, after an hour of meeting, 7th council elects came in to join us. we applauded them as they walked into the lt. sitting at the back of the lt, i looked in front with this great sense of emotions. mm.. finally, our predecessors. the people who would soon be the ones who lead the college to greater height. really looking forward to see how they turn out.. oh well, mr yeo sabo me and ah guang down to advertise his bubble tea. actually didnt see much of the link but still i went there and say cos the bubble tea was drank by mR yeo! loL. still dont see the link anyway, i always loved mr yeo's talk. i find them motivational =) yup, he's really just have the council blood. i totally agree. just like how i just cant seem to shake myself out of council since sec school. even making a choice within bball and council i still chose council. =X well, of course my passion for bball nv dies too~ we had exco meeting after gm till near 9pm but didnt carry on because we didnt have full strength. *love u excos* .. mm.. after that i went to the rally with guAng~ lol. everyone seem not interested so left both of us. well, we reached there only to see last two speakers by PAP. mm. *eew* erm.. cough. ha.it was really interesting though. we seemed to be the only ones still in sch u~ ha.. and we were wearing white black. seem like we support half half. ha.. we stayed also to see the aftermath of the rally. really cute to see those supporters like going goo goo gah gah over the mps. heh..den the majulah pap/singapore/cck cheer was really cute.ha.. anyway 6 years later aH gonG says we'll come back and listen to rally togethEr ya~ though ha.. dont know what/who we'll be six years later.. but by that time we can voTE!! oh well, we went to eat dinner at this kopitiam nearby... by the time already 11pm. whoo.. first time i reached home sO late by travelling home myself!~! ha.. luckily i didnt get scolded. oh well. rally was really cute and interesting~! hey ah gong 6 yeaRs time.. see u there~!
