On my eve of departure to EX CRESCENDO, I find myself lost and uncertain. I feel really much like somebody who's got no direction and just groping around, especially with the recent incidents of EX CRESCENDO that make me more or less unsure of where I stand, my role, and what the heck am I supposed to do up there. It, as a result, triggered off a whole new stint of thoughts that make me more or less uncertain of myself once again.
I'm kinda worried I cannot do well as a safety officer in EX CRESCENDO, since I keep getting pushed up and down the hierarchy of the Safety factor. It's to the extent that I have mixed up the roles of a Chief Safety and a DY Safety, and there doesn't seem to be any distinction of the two roles anymore. I guess it'll just become a tag team event, one rushing to cover the other and vice versa. Sigh.
In any case, I went to wat
ch VJC vs HCI softball boys, where we won 6-1, but well.. I guess I had fun. 23rd's match support has improved tremendously, but I guess there's the thing about not using long cheers... and using the same long cheers... but each batch to his or her own... yup! Haha... I do miss my match support days a lot, a lot... days when we would don our red shirts, and just lead the Victorians in cheers to spur on our sportsmen and women... we have had our fun days, and I guess we were pretty good in match support... at the very least, one of the better batches I've seen, cause we still manage to get the crowd going despite the odds in our favour... I can still remember our soccer finals... can you imagine? 12 red shirts and 25 Councillors attempting to lead a to
tal of of close to 900 Victorians in cheers? Don't believe me, right? Well, here's the truth... the picture on the left was taken during Soccer Finals 2003, at CHoa Chu Kang Stadium, which, in my opinion is not a good place to do match support cause of the elevations and everything else... but of course, we did out best, but it was also the match support that we felt we were complacent after so much match supports that we'd done... Oh well, I digress, of course, in any case, Match Supports have been an integral part of my Council term... It can also be my pride and joy to have been able to lead a team of dynamic ECOnians forward in this journey... Though I've not been a really good leader as ECO Chairperson, this group of special Councillors have accepted my flaws and my imperfections, and more often than not, encouraged me on and supported me. I am really thankful for them, or, to be honest to myself, majority of them... there's one (or 2) of them who have crossed me and to this date, I'm still not comfortable with that.
VJC 20TH STUDENTS' COUNCIL ECA COMMITTEE
1st row (from left): Joanna, Sharon, Priya, Dominique, Lynette
2nd row (from left): Zhe Bin, Sanjay, Benny, David, Samuel
3rd row: Me Not in picture: Aseem
Yupz, that's my Committee... and if I don't say this, my Dommy would kill me... I have a very efficient and dependable Vice-head in Dom! She's one reason why I know I can chiong so much, cause she'll be there to support me and take over, sometimes without even me saying, she'll step up to the job... despite her volleyball commitments, she still tries to be there no matter what, and even till now, I still turn to her for advice when I require, or just reassurance that I'm doing right...
Suddenly ended up being very nostalgic, thus this post of ECO, or it could be other reasons, I know not of. It's kinda weird? A lot of people are very puzzled as to my commitment to VJC, and sometimes, I myself am confused by my attachment back to the College... but in some sense, some... homely, warm sense, I just feel at home when I'm back there... I don't know... maybe I'm a ditz, but that's just the way I like it right now.
And yet, I know I must move on someday... The 23rd, I believe, will be the last full term Council I will oversee... :) And from then... it'll just be the normal things... Openhouse, Intra Council. Sigh... time really doesn't slow down, and in time, we're only left with memories...
I'll cherish every memory I made with VJC.
