Memories...
Thursday, August 18, 2005
ARTS BASH 2 was absolutely great. The music, the people, the pegeant, the venue, the Organizing Com :) great job Mary, i m sooooo proud of you. Do u realize how much u have grown?? Realli.. it feels so happy to see you doing such a great job. *pat yr head*
a few of us were talking..that we cant believe it that one year has just passed like that...it only seems like yesterdae when me, alex, suzi, and chonghan were at Newsroom Bar exactly one year ago..doing bouncer duty for the pegeant..I rem that night man utd took on blackburn, and Alan Smith scored a last min goal..To remind myself of this special occasion, i decided to wear the same black shirt which i wore one year ago.. :) and i rem walking with Joy out of Newsroom Bar sitting on 2 tables talking bout lotsa stuff..
realli..realli hard to believe..one year..just like that. Sudden flood of memories..some good some bad..mostly good though...it only seems like yesterdae though that i was getting ready for the first dae of Arts Camp..getting ready for the influx of freshmen coming in..getting so excited..now before everyone knew it, Project 6 is over....
And what a hell of an experience it was. Surely without a doubt the best memories of University life.
I guess the feeling is gradually sinking in that most of us in 25th are stepping down soon..looking back, i feel a huge enormous sense of satisfaction and achievement..We were a very strong com, there is no doubt about that.
On a personal note, i am so glad to see that i have mostly achieved what i set out to do when i decided to run for Sports Director in MC last year..Arts Open..Bike Quest..Beach Volleyball..Futsal Open...IFG recruitment drives..Sports Cell's own singlet..Artz Jog...Hosting IFG Soccer....
Each of this project means a lot to me..and i m glad to see that there was a genuine vast improvement in Arts Club Sports Cell. When i took over, i rem having this feeling that Sports Cell could do so much more besides just Arts Open, Beach Vball, and IFGs. Granted, there is certainly a lot of room for improvement, but i m glad that i have at least managed to lay down a lot of ideas, plans and projects which future Sports Directors could hopefully expand on. Gaining a lot of IFG team captains, athletes' contacts wud be good for the future too..
Reaching out and bringing in others into Sports Cell and Arts Club was also one of my prime objectives..and i m glad people like don, clement, tanny, kumar, song kwang, james, jerry, elson, justin, sylvia stayed on for so many other projects and key roles in FOP as well...managing a sub-com or cell was a very new and different experience for me..something which i didnt grapple with very well initially..at the end of the day, i am grateful to these people for giving me the chance to lead them.
Justin once told me that he felt very bad bout skipping certain Sports cell projects, and thats why he insisted on comin back durin Futsal Open to help out. I still rem what he told me till todae, something very very encouraging....
And of coz, how could i have survived without u Mary.. :) haha, thanks for everything, realli..absolutely everything. We made a happy and fufilling combination together yeah? Walking with you together in this journey has been wonderful..early on during our term, i felt i had to drag you along..but now, u realli are flying like yr fave butterfly yrself..you earned a lot of people's respect along the way :)
Sometimes i realli wondered how i survived the hectic past year..but looking back realli..u could say everything was worth it....
workin at paradigm again on sat..every week something interesting happens..either i get picked up by fat girls or police raids..but i like the staff there a lot..e bartenders, bouncers, captains are all very friendly people..it helped that mondae 's my free dae..so i can afford to work on sats and rest on sundaes..
tonight is the last night i have long hair. I m kinda sad in a way, becoz i realize that i realli love my hair a lot, and they have been with me for almost a year as well..Tom morning i ll be cutting it, and makin a fresh start..Yup, kinda sad..
i heard from some of my freshie friends that someone dedicated a song to me on yes933 2 nights ago, and didnt leave any name..if u are reading my blog now, i just wanna thank you for that..it was a v sweet gesture, and my regrets that i couldnt hear it for myself.
