33rd student council.
invested. installed.
what i thought, wasnt meant to be at all. and who i am now, wasnt what i expected. but its all smiles in the end, and it truly matter.
it all began lightyears ago. i chose. the reason being to affirm my leadership. it was pretty personal. sji brought me up, introduce leadership. and that's why i decided to try. its always the discovery that entices. and brought us to greater heights, greater understanding of ourselves. then, yiuleung was there. so we chose. we tried.
and then everything began to fall. rockbottom. but the elections with michael, the m&ms, got through pretty good. those pink posters, banners, those chocolates to please. thought i would like to apologise. i wasnt at my best. angsty. frustration. but we did it, and there we were, forging a close relationship in a totally new environment. there's the leadership training camp, posted sometime back in my blog. and all the way up till now, invested and starting the life of a student councillor. hod of community involvement.
half a year past.
and thousands of emotions together with it. the time seemed short, but i learnt so much. to know that friends are there. to know that there are so many of you out there who care. its all wonderful to bring me back up again. and to think back on all those obstacles that i have been through, it was one hell of a ride. i grew to like cjc, when i didnt in the beginning. the school gives so much opportunities, the school gives so much to reflect. its a matter of choice where you heads to. and when i finally reached out and open up, i saw people i could relate to. councillors and friends, peers, classmates that were together in my path to discover. and to know that life sometimes mean enjoying the rewards that you worked for, it just makes my heart jumped with joy.
initially, i thought there would be politics. that someone out there will want his glory, his respect. but i come to realise, that a team is needed to get by life. and when all of us feel the same way. its just undescribeable. when i know that we all want to embrace one another, to make life better for each other, and suffer together through deadlines and complains and laughs at the end, its all sji to me again. though we havent begun, i feel it all happening. :) i feel so natural with you all. and when cjc came into mind, i think of you guys. student council is not about those awesome highly respected leaders that other students will always dislike. because we all learn too and we help each other get by through life. its all tough now, many people still have their problems, and problems will be endless. but the will to eradicate them all stays prominent.
we will get by. and then we will all, cherish and remember the memories.
its one hell of a ride. but it seems the ride just begun.
but i can finally smile. genuinely once again.
i feel like kaichuen once more. when i thought i lose it all.
p.s. pinch me. :) inside joke!
