Memories...

i love the movie Hitch featuring Will Smith haha. A lot of things which the Date Doctor preaches about dating and Men are very true in real life. :)

Was thinking about it the past few weeks actually..Had people who approached me to run for the Union Exco next term..I was honoured, and gave it serious thought. Discussed with a few friends..

But I finally made up my mind last week to decline the offer. And i m happy about my decision. :)

I thought about why i ran for Arts Club for the past 2 years..and realize i just cannot feel the same amount of passion elsewhere now..And i thrive on passion. Without it, i am not myself, and i cant go the extra mile.

i thought about my old friends..whom i have promised to myself that i ll spend more time with after i step down. Old friends in 26th oac, in 25th MC, and so many many others.

I thought about my studies..i might still go for Honours, but i might still graduate after 3 years as well. As funny as it might sound, i do wish to have more time for my studies in future. i really love studying Political Science, and i have a lot of passion for it. Sometimes i do wish that i could spend more time reading more on it, expanding my academic horizons.

I thought about finally leading a normal university student's life for once. :) More freedom, less worries, more time to exercise, more time to jog, swim, hit the gym, hit the beach, play soccer, bridge, mahjong, dota? (haha)..More time to work and earn more, more time to learn bartending.

I thought about the Club i love..the 26th and the affiliates, who ll still be around next yr as seniors..i thought about the 27th MC and the 27th President (regardless who he or she might be..)..I thought about the seniors who ll be graduating..Riddy..Steven..Joey..Timmy..Yaozhong..Kevin Wee..and possibly Diana Baby..Ning ning..Junie..Gracie..Peipei.Ivan k?...i ll be very sad when these friends, such permanent fixtures in the clubroom and who have contributed so much all these years, graduate and leave. I want to stay and be a fellow "guardian" of the club just like how riddy, steven, diana baby, ning ning were even though they have stepped down. I can stay tog with other oldies such as beng and jasmine to give advice to the new batch of leaders..to help settle down the new com and new freshmen if needed..

I thought about how i can still contribute to the society or the student community despite not being in Union. 1 of my dreams since i came Uni was to join a YEP trip to China..in fact i actually went thru the interviews for the trip in year 1, haha, but coz in e end i joined arts club and was busy during the holidaes..hence i couldnt go..i have seen many of my friends who have wonderful YEP memories..and i wish to complete this little dream of mine before i graduate :) And to add on to my excitement, chun kiat has promised to go tog with me as well haha..

I thought about you too..even though i hate to admit it..haha...

And having made up my mind to retire, i have experienced a sense of inner peace and happiness the past week, which i havent experienced for a long long time...And i enjoy that feeling :> it has made me more relaxed, jovial, and crappy haha..just like old times..

just like very old times.. :)
