OUR 8TH MONTH ANNIVERSARY! (:
This is my first time writing down something on this bloggie, and that's because it's our eighth month anniversary! :D
And I think I'm the only few people who are quite free now, considering that others are really busy preparing for alot of things (:
Coming up next: Orientation,
Then: Friendship week + CCA bazaar
Soon: Council Camp
LAST: 32nd Council Investiture
Dear 31st, look at how time flies.
I still find it unbelievingly fast, now that it's already our 8th month working together.
Together, we have achieved and went through so much!
I still find that council is a bitter-sweet thing.
There are the happier times and the worse moments;
there are the super tiring times and of course, the retreat-mode-y moments;
sometimes we are super driven, high, enthu, and it's impossible to not let us do anything, and there are also times when we feel so exhausted that we simply hope we dont have to do anything at all.
We quarreled, we cried, we were angry.
But we still forgive, forget, embrace, cherish, care, and love one another.
I believed that without any of these, council isn't council.
Just the same towards the people. Without any of you, 31st isnt 31st.
Perhaps I should alter a lil of Mr. Tan's motto:
"Just be yourself; who you already are. No more, no less, no substitutes." :D
Haha! (:
Anyway, Lilan and I played a small prank yesterday. It came to us out of the blue, and i swear, we did it only out of mischief, but we never thought how far it went.
And for that, we sincerely, and regrettably apologize. We're sorry guys :p
And another thing!
Voice006.mp3 - lilan and rjI've always wanted to do this since the end of JIPA, but never had the chance to do so.
Though the dynamics among 31st have changed a little, and i wonder if we still remember the feelings and thoughts we had last year, the first time when we wore our council badges?
How if felt like when we were up on stage, taking the council oath while being watched by our fellow peers?
What were the things we were thinking about, how were we as one 31st then?
All I could remember when we were up on stage was that our hands must be placed on our laps, right leg to be put behind the left leg while sitting straight, and Mr. Tan's words that we must take pride in being a councilor while we take the Council Oath. (:
Seems just like yesterday, no? (:
As much as the past shall remain as the past,
We have all grown, changed, and developed in many ways. We not only know ourselves better, we understand each other well.
The working styles, un-glam moments, personalities, strengths + weaknesses, favourite food, etc etc of each other.
Never thought that a girl who looks so tough on the outside is actually afraid of the un-seeable (the supernaturals, during COuncil camp last year ^^)?
Never realised that a guy so well-built is actually afraid of height? (hahah his name starts with a 'R' and ends with a 'Y' LOL that happened at LTC)
And never thought how far we can actually go for each other if we really want to? (:
Dear 31st,
We are all like a family.
We have been together for almost a year now, we already share a special connection that is so intangible and i trust, unbreakable.
Perhaps at times we got so used to each other that we ceased to let one another know how much we actually cherish and appreciate them. Why not now?
Perhaps we've had some miscommunications in the past, some personal misunderstandings that could be easily forgiven and forgotten. Why not now?
Perhaps some things we have made complicated can be just so easily simplified. Why not now?
I've tried to embed a "2 in 1" song, I trust all of you are familiar with it.
Please listen to it! (:
The first one's "Endless Story". If you recall, it's our investiture song, which I've just played this evening in the school hall. This whole journey, really is our endless story (:
The next one's entitled "Musician". Both Lilan and I played the song. In fact, it's an unfinished one; on our one-year anniversary, Lilan would complete the whole song for us, so let's all wait for her, okay? (:
We hope not only that you'll spend some time today to think through our whole journey thus far, but also keep showing care and concern for each other! (: We shan't hurt one another okay! (:
Guys it's really going to be tough these few months to come, but i really really believe that as a whole 31st, we can overcome anything! And i really think EVERYTHING! :D
I always feel very assured when I'm around you guys (: I feel like no evil in this world could possibly come to me, because I know that no one here is left out, and that's what we're gonna keep doing, arent we? We will protect one another, never do anything that hurts each other, and help one another out :D
No reasons for it; simply because we are really one family! (:
Take care 31st, hang in there! (: These last few months will be the best few months of our lives! (:
Hwaiting! ^^
Talking unusually much today,
~rj~
With Love, dh + rj = <3!
