(:first time im typing a post for council!whoohoo!lol!

anyway.jus wanted to let all of u noe how much u all hav helped me and made me learn in the time i was in council.i guess i sorta nvr expected tt i will feel sad when its time for me to leave council.but like everyone else i felt very upset as i guess some of u would noe(:i've been wanting to thank u all for a very long time but nvr really had a chance so decided tt this would be a gd place!(:hope at least a few of u will read this(:

i guess many of u all will see me as anti-social and would probably be unhappy at the thought of working with me.i think many would feel tt i was nvr a part of u all and nvr made an effort to be.thinking back i regret not having been a better person and member. i think i tried my best in the end but jus when i was giving it my best i lost u all.tt time,i was really really upset.like i told mr s i feel like i hav taken u all for granted.and nvr really got to tell u all how much u all mean to me and the impact u hav all had on me.all of u helped me in a different way and im glad to hav known all of u special ppl!(:

heres a few things i shall mention first(:wanted to talk about each of u individually but i think it'll take a super long time.so i shall jus state a few(; i remember all those instances when u all were there for me and helped me when no one else did.i will forever be grateful to Jamie who showed her concern when i was really upset and who cared for us all so so much!i remember after ltc when she told me how she was proud of me during the camp.it really made me feel happy to be able to live up to council and when the exco gave the laminated shirt i felt so grateful tt u all still accepted me as one of u all even though i was alr out of council and was nvr truly an active member.and there was qing wei and ying chen who had to bare with all my weaknesses which made them upset at times and disappointed in many ways.i will forever be grateful for their understanding,caring-ness and help.and my other comm members,clarence who was always trying to help and who also gave constructive criticism,although it made me feel guilty and bad,the truth of it also helped me learn and made me perform better,chun leong who was always ready to help and yue'an who taught me wat it meant to be a gd assistant head.from her,i learnt to ask ppl if they needed help instead of waiting for them to ask.yida whos always cheerful,tried his best and showed his concern for everyone.

all of u taught me many things and was there for me in many ways(:even though i only mentioned cc and jamie,everyone else has oso impacted me in many ways(:i hope at the end i was much better and someone who has grown and is able to live up to all of u(:ALL THE BEST FOR As!(:

Full 31st outing to Sentosa! on 11th July 09, Sat!

(Thankyou Ely! :D)

We had so much fun yesterday! From telematch to volleyball to bridging to suntanning to playing in the water to soccer matches to camwhoring! Im missing those times already!

Big thankyou to Yida & Qingwei for organising this outing!!!
And to everyone else for contributing the snacks & drinks & sandwiches!

It was great to see all 26 of us together again! Its been around 2 months since we've stepped down. The feeling of having nothing to do at all was simply weird. All we were supposed to do, all we had to do, was study. Which kinda............made life abit..........ZZZ. But yesterday! The feeling of everyone coming back together simply rocked.

Its amazing how we can still come together, have fun & things can still remain the same - probably even better. It feels like home; feels like we're back where we belong, with the right company. But that's probably cos we're 31st. And that will never change. ♥

I LOVE 31ST!

Enjoy, people!
Once again, great video, my dearest April.
Thankyouuuuu :D

It seemed just like yesterday, when we were all in drenched in sweat, ushering, shifting chairs, and all sorts of decorations so that investiture 2008 would be a success.

We sat there, on the right side of the hall. Above us, the boards listing the College's SMC names high above us, around us, the then 5 college values hung around us. As we wore the blazers for the first official time, as due to time constraint, we could not have our badges pinned on by our seniors, but we could only receive it.

As we stood up for the first time as the 31st student council, as we raised our hands, and recited the council pledge, as we looked down from the stage, and saw ny councils past and present, all standing, acknowledging the swearing in of a new batch of councillors, a new batch of leaders.

Then, as we ran around in the Alumni Room, enjoying the pool table, the air con there, the logistics stinking up the whole room. And we stayed there, and sang Jenny among many others after Teachers Day, after a drizzle cancelled the ACES day.

Then, as we went about hanging up threads hanging various paper stars with glitter on them, as we prepared the Harry Potter themed Post LTC. As we enjoyed the food, and the atmosphere, and chatted with friends long past.

Then came the time where we had to sit in during lectures, and listen to those that we have heard ages before, as we chionged down from the room we have called our little hiding place, or little home, to the hall, just to hear that our very own 31st mass dance has been delegated to a mere 5 minutes time filler. And as we saw and heard and laughed, as our very own actors and actresses brought the scene of madagascar alive.

Then came the time, where the 31st mass dance went into full swing, as we played with water, as we had to rescue a man from a deep drain, as we went about going crazy with our crazy lights, our crazy songs, our crazy dances.

Then as if possessed, a 180 degree swap occured for all of us. As we suddenly screamed and shouted, and scolded the next batch of nominees, just like how we were treated 1 year ago. As we hiked up to Macritche, as we prayed for the rain to stop for campfire but yet failed, as we all went to Macs to have our lunch, before going home and applying mushroom's ulti skill.

And now,

We have sat below the names of Past Council Presidents
We have sat below where we saw the people we taught and trained finally passing the first step
Where we with tear rimmed eyes, unbuckled the badge which we have worn with pride, dignity, and honour, and pinned it on to our successors
Where with much reluctance, with much perseverance, we stood in front of the college for the last time as one, holding back all our emotions, holding back all the tears
Where in 2 lines, we left the stage,
where we took the long aisle walk
where we exited through those rear doors,
and entered once more, as no more then an audience

Where now, we stood,
as we saw the people whom we have passed on our duties and responsibilities to taking the oath that we did ourselves just 1 year ago
as we recapped, some precious moments, in the past 1 year with a short video clip
where we handed out gifts to one another, so that we would always remember this day, these people, this love that we share

And finally, it all came to an end.

As we watched our banner finally coming down
As we watched it being folded
As we brought it over to the next room
slotted it in above our orientation banner
and the door was locked

It is now no more than a memory
It is now no more than a wishful thinking

But it is now where the memory lives on
where the love continues to flow
where the bond that we share grow stronger
where we will never forget
and never give up
the one thing in which we had put in effort to set up

the one thing to hang up high and free
where it flaps with the winds, as people look up in pride and awe

The one thing, that is none other than

the 31st student council
where the love never dies

and i never thought i'll say this
but I love you 31st

Today, Investiture 09.
Looking at the chairs, Im reminded of ours last year.

Today, I was afraid. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to finish my speech.
But I did, in the end. Throughout the whole speech, vivid memories came fleeting into my mind. I thought about 31st the whole time.

Today, watching you all hand over the badges, I was so, so very proud of every single one of you. Im reminded of how we received our badges last year. And now, as we hand over, I can see the pride you all take in that badge of ours.

Today, we bid goodbye to our council room.
Our home.



Perhaps forever & always,
I'll miss this road.

After school, when we walk up either from canteen, or by hall, or by wherever.
It doesn't matter cos we're all headed the same direction.

Hmmm..
Tml...
our last day..
so ya!!
I LOVE 31ST..
I believe everyone of us does..
Thanks for the great moments we have for each other!!
THANKS A LOT!!
Stay close k?
Even if we have stepped down,
we are still one family OK?
xD
JIAYOU!!

Dear 31st,



Happy 11th Month Anniversary!!! (:



(Well, the smiley was optional :p)



Yeap, I've been waiting for today since yesterday night to post this on our blog!

The moment we've all been talking about, thinking much is arriving very very soon.

It's already 20th April my dears!



Hmm suddenly I'm at loss for words. Not emo-ing, I swear (: I'm just trying to figure out what to really write here (:



Well I think we know that some of us, if not all, have been struggling with certain things.

Personal, studies, council, family, ...

Please just remember as much as you can, that we are still here.

Solid. firm. And very real (: Still here :D



I've already found what 20th May 2o09 will be like for me.

I think I've sorted it out myself how it would feel like on that day, eventhough i still can't say for sure -_-



Hahaha I guess this coming one month would be a quick one, more of a hastle-y + crazy one.

A final badge-y one!



Ugh I really dont know what i'm talking about already.

Am tired and sleepy, but can't bring myself to sleep with the history thesis to finish,

& with my head full with thoughts about us.



I keep repeating this, but i think it's important to know.

To me, as important as the council itself is,

The people matter more than anything to me.

You can make everyday Orientation 2009, Council camp 2009, Investiture 2008 or even TDA 2008.

Let me go through all the planning, heartaches, happiness, teamwork, pride, satisfaction, desperation, madness, rush. Everything over again.



But I dont see why re-living all that if it's not for the people.

My dear 31st! (: (oh no, why am i talking like jamie =.=''')

You guys are one part of my life which no one could ever replace.

Sounds cliche, yes, but what else could I have said?



Yes, unexpected accomplices, selfless company, loving team.

That's what we are (:

Just part of a song (Always Be My Baby - think plural. plural ^^) I thought would suit this post (: (:


Always Be My Baby (Studio) - David Cook

We were as one babe

For a moment in time

And it seemed everlasting

That you would always be mine



Now you want to be free

So I'm letting you fly

Cause I know in my heart babe

Our love will never die

No!



I ain't gonna cry no

And I won't beg you to stay

If you're determined to leave girl

I will not stand in your way

But inevitably you'll be back again

Cause ya know in your heart babe

Our love will never end no



haha And it must be David Cook's version! Love his baritone voice (:

P/S: I love you.

Hello! It's April again with the Picture-to-note!

Just found this image in my Pictures folder. Apparently had found this interesting and decided to screenshoot it. And here's to share.

Found this on Facebook. Thought it looked rather much like the "LOW, LOW" pose. :D Go Clare!
