IF YA SMELL WHAT THE HOCK IS COOKING??!!

Memories...

soci mid-term was ok i guess..hope i dun write out of point though, but heck, i dun like to talk about tests or exams which has passed..

played soccer in the evening, woooooooo, my fave outlet for letting off steam and just keeping my mind off everything. The sun was damn bright again, haha so got another consecutive tan todae after Beach Vball. Shiok man.

Guys just wanna play ball. No matter what kind of ball. It means so much to many of us.

Did a rough calculation just now. Effectively my next few sats wud be all filled up by Arts Club events. Phew...the magical IFG deadline is approaching, and i am frantically trying to assemble the Hockey team. Hocky doing Hockey team haha. Hmmm..doing IFG hasnt been easy realli..forming teams for almost 20 sports for the whole year. Can be very very very tiring at times. When i come home after a long dae of MC work, i still have to handle, reply emails about IFG enquiries, call sms people, settle registration and clear deadlines...a lot of extra administrative work.

SRC likes to shoot a lot of arrows to all the Sports Directors as well, something which has really been a sore and irritating to me, becoz its not as if we oredi dun have enuff MC work and projects to settle. I ll still have to coordinate the soccer ifg for all the facs duh.

I rem during elections, Jaspar oredi warned me, and told me that Sports Director post will make u very xian wan. Jason, the previous Sports Sec, told me that he felt so so so drained after the entire year of ifg when he handed over to me last year. I still rem him saying that while others are busy studying for tests or even exams, he still has to settle his ifg teams. Nobody appreciates what he does also, becoz IFG is a very separate entity from other MC work and projects.

If i m not wrong, last year Jason concentrated on doing IFG, while Priscilla concentrated on projects. He certainly had much more passion for IFG than i do, and he went down virtually to almost all the games to support the Arts team, something which a lot of people dunch know about. In the end, he still seems to be perceived as a slacker by his peers, and i really feel sorry for him,becoz very few people see what he has been doing behind the scenes.

It gets very tiring for me at times, but the fact that i know i have really tried my best within what God gave me --24 hours a day -- makes me feel much better. What keeps me going is the satisfaction at the end of the dae to see our Faculty team win and bring some glory to Arts. And i know this experience and post will make me mentally tougher and administratively more capable haha. I am determined to stick it through successfully, and emerge at the end of my term looking back at what i have done over the past year with pride.

Like Alex, what i do feel is that sometimes a lot of us take each other for granted. I can totally understand how Steven felt last time, and i sympathize with him strongly. This kind of thing inevitably happens, and sometimes, whats important in life is to pause, and show appreciation towards each other, after all the sacrifices in our own personal lives that we have made.

Even a few words of encouragemen can make a person's day. So, why not be generous and show yours todae?
