Dawn of a beginning

As of today, the 28th Student Council has "informally" taken office, after receiving their office-term post. Vapour and scenes of sorrow and joy could be seen today. Some got what they wished for and others not. As for me i have gotten my desired post -> Student Affairs Co-ordinator. However there is a problem, my committee is not really that kind of efficient and united team. I would prefer df to jp, as we both have worked together for more than 5 months. The combination of the 2 of us would be very good. I am quite disappointed that i was handed into such committee. But no choice just have to make do of the best of it. haiz...

Today's SCC was a memoriable experience, the atmosphere was very tense when it came to the announcement of post. There were some post that were out of our imagination. When it was announced that i was SAC, i literally hug arivindd and mark. Thank you for your guidance over this past 7 months, it was you guys mainly who mould me a rookie into a councillor worthy of such an important post. I sincerely thank you for that =). I would fulfill your request that you have asked from me should i ever become a SAC. :D

Begaining with the end mind allows you to have a certain goal that you want to achieve thus reducing the chance of you sidetracking. It when one has a vision in his mind then shall he be able to look at long term situation and not short-term. Learning for everyone including leaders would never end, it is when leaders are willing to take critiques, do they learn and improve into a better leader than would serve his/her orgainsation better. I remember my senior once said, "leadership is to know the way, show the way and to lead the way." Thus it would be leadership that would determines if any plans can be executed no matter how good it is in paper, it would never look good in reality if it is never executed.
Thus as the 28th Student Council takes office, i hope that we would bring more improvements to the school and be able to address as many of the concerns of the students as far as possible, through any means.

Updated =D =D finally

So finally after many months, i have arrived back at my blog. Recently, Jurong Secondary school has been having students resenting TRC. as many felt that it has violated the basic human rights of the individual students and should not be even implemented. However to me, i felt that this is neccessary towards dealing with those who are trouble makers in class that really get on the teachers' nerves. 3 days of it would be too short, for this people, a minimum of 5 days should be implemented so as to allow the class to be able to learn in peace.

I believe that the reason for all this resentment is that Ms Yeong use the wrong tone and did not convey the actual usage of the TRC properly. Thus to ensure that this thing dies down, i believe that Ms Yeong should come out and clarrify the whole matter using a serious but formal tone and not those kao pei tone. If that cannot be done, then another teacher that is somewhat closer or respected by the student body should be asked to fulfil the job.

Annual General Meeting (AGM) is approaching, i just have this feeling that i am gonna get a sucky post which i hope would not happen. I hope I can get into a committee that has quite a reasonable amount of project to run. Just have to hope for the best. =D nothing can really be done after AGM :
