Despite my truckload of undone tutorials and unresearched academic journals, I find it hard to believe that I can actually sit here and blog so comfortably. Hmmm... Am I very slack? Haha
All of a sudden it seems that a number of old friends have been quite nostalgic these days. They've been taking initiative to msn to continue keeping in contact. In school, I've also got to know a number of year 1s who were ex school mates with me. For instance, Hui Ming, Hafizah, Aveline, Huiqi, Preiyaa, Weixin blah and blah. Of which 3 will be the 9th FOOT programmars. Lol.
The surprising thing was Huiying was in NTU for a week and despite being good friends with one another, Kat and myself were totally oblivious to it. We've been in our own world. Haha. Other people whom I've know came to NTU are Siti, my ex classmate who once asked me how to score As which I honestly told her I do not know. Lol. Eventually she did find her way I supposed and I'm happy for her because she have been putting in a hell lot of effort in it. There is also Bie, my ex team mate. Good to know that fellow schoolmates/classmates have made it in! It isn't at all easy to enter university if you asked me. I think most people would agree unless you were from top 5 JC, then pls dun talk 2 me.
Nah, I was just kidding lah.. Haha, I dun discriminate.
PQ sent me an email about a speech by a guest for one of the NTU convocation ceremonies. I found it very inspiring. It was about the quality life. There is great depth in it. Get from me if interested!
After reading that article I felt that I've not been reading good books for a long time. Maybe since Secondary school days... Wow, thats really long. Very often I procrastinate with the thinking, "Next week lah..". Next week will only become next next week and the day will never come. So does anyone got good books to recommend? I'll drop by the Lib. Its a 5 min walk from my house nia. Hmm better put it under my to do list in case I forget.
I drop by the IT fair after lesson with the intention to get some stuff. Thought that I could chop chop get it done. The crowd was even worse than the day during the fireworks display. So it dragged for some time lah. I managed to get a cooler fan for my lappy @ 19 bucks. Happily bought my fan without realizing that the booth beside me was selling the exact same one for 15bucks. *&&^%$%$@#^&
Full retirement mode from FOOT treasurer liao jiu shi zhe yang lah... SLACK! Bad bad... Next time must act smarter.
Now coming to the most interesting topic of the day will be the sub comm recruitment.
For the past few days my 心情 has been 七上八下. I wouldn't go into the details lah, my thoughts and feelings were quite the screwed up. The past few days has been traumatising. Now finally feel more relived.
I'm now one of the Logistics Officer for FOOT 2009! Also duno whether I'm happy or upset to be not selected for ATC but FOOT. But I'm actually quite excited about the prospect of being a female log. Hehehe...
I had many considerations previously about being part of the 9thfootcomm(sounds so weird). There was only 1 reason for me to come back yet there was so many other reasons as to why I felt I should not be back. Melissa's words did ring in my head very wildly, "你忍心看着你的ex footcomm chui ma?你忍心吗?". So, ultimately that 1 reason was all that was sufficient to convince myself to be back: FOOT cannot chui. No one successfully forced or psycho-ed me. I came back willingly.
Jun Jie called just now and asked if I really felt ok about being a FOOT log. I told him, I'm really ok with it. And he said, "Cos the more I think and think hor, I feel that you are really a suitable person leh!" And he said I was meticulous and the Log flow next year sure very zai 1. Hahahaha, thanks Jun Jie, you made my day so much brighter!
A little sad that there'll be no more Jas around to cover up for me le, no more Mike to guide me, no more the rest of the 8thfootcomm.
It is hard to sink in the fact that a new FOOT comm will be formed, I'm part of the comm, yet familiar faces will no longer be in the comm. It is even harder to accept myself as a FOOT log. It came as a surprise becos I never expected myself to be one. However the more I thought about it, the more I believe that I can really be a Log. However, I tend to think things on the perspective of Treasurer. It is instinctive. I'll learn to change, adapt and be optimistic about the future!
I believe that the 9thfoot will survive no matter what. I trust that Jun Jie will strive to be the best SPO and like Jas says, bring the next FOOT to greater heights.
Whatever I took away with me from the 8th FOOT, I hope I'll be able to pass it on to the 9th FOOT. I have my own objective of coming back for FOOT and I hope at the end of the next 1 year, I can achieve it.
To 8thfootcomm, whether where you are now, ATC, Trek or Foo, I truly wish you all the best! 8thfoot will always remain as 8thfoot and I believe that our bond will not die down.
Must support FOOT 09 ar!
