Hi everyone! It's been a long while since I've last posted. But I do have some comments to share and pass, regarding me as well as us as a Council.
6Th has always given me learning experiences, no doubt about that. I'm not just refering to the projects we went through together, as you all can see from the video I've compiled. But the things we've learnt through these projects. The planning, the behind-the-scenes, the bonding we had, the arguments, the exchange of perspectives.. you name it, we've all done it haven't we? From Investiture 2005 to Teachers' Day 2005 to Open House 2005 to GradNight 2005 to Orientation 2006... How do you all feel when you look back? what do you all remember the most? Well, for me it has always been learning from others on how to improve myself. For instance, seeing Wei Quin work under pressure during Orientation 1 2006 and how we supported her by staying calm and cool-ly accepting the instructions from dry to wet to dry weather programme. Where else do you learn such an experience?
Interacting with School Management Com and working with them, well... sort of working la, most of the time we just follow their instructions. Haha... I think the fact Mrs Tan was involved gave us more space within our constraints. yea? How she was pro-council and gave us space to grow... and what we accomplished by living a lasting impression on Pioneers is something I'll always be proud of 6Th Council for. How we humbly accepted criticm and sometimes still finding humour in them to keep us in high spirits. "Never will I find such a great bunch of people to work with again," quoted off Su (I suppose? haha).
Hmm, the latest 5GG outing was also an eye-opening experience for me. I've learnt about things that do happen beneath Council and I'm really grateful we are able to separate our personal from our professional lives. I really respect each and everyone of you, and my greatest regret is not being able to know each and everyone of you better throughout our term together in Council.
I admit, on my part, my mistake was not being able to balance my life at the beginning of 2006. I began to spend less time with you guys and placed my girlfriend as a higher priority. Looking back, it was a mistake that led to my greatest regret (mentioned in the previous paragraph). I apologise for this as it really bothered me when I was talking to Zhao Qi recently. He assured me that there will be more outings to look forward to and I can spend these times catching up. Well, personally I hope so.
Some thanks to go out to...
Firstly, of course my dearest Pro.Co! Celestine, Guang Yi, Chen Jie, Lixin, Limin, Kok Yong, Connie and Fang Qi. Thanks for being understanding when I had to balance back and forth between NCC and Council as well as giving me the chance for being our Com's secretary. I hope my effort was enough for you guys and I certainly hope we can have future Pro.Co outings and hang out together!
Secondly, friends who carried on from Orientation 2 2005:
Zhao Qi, for being very understanding and patient when I have problems to share. Being direct and straghtforward when I need it the most. Very dependable and responsible both as a friend and as a Councillor.
Wei Quin, Kar Mun and Christiana, for being there all the way. Friends I've shared some of my personal life with, advices and opinions too.
Sutrisno, well haha. You're such a great friend that I'm totally commentless. Gee. Great leader, with many different perspectives and very objective too!
Yixin, I miss those online chats! haha. chat buddy and sometimes study buddy in school too. Those long long chats full of interesting topics. yea..
Felicia, study buddy through A-levels, and member of 5GG.
Abraham and Dasen too!

Well, that was a long post. Take care all, and hopefully there's going to be more Council gatherings for us sometimes soon. (=
