case and more
caught in between 2 committments today.. hence using this free time to update a bit.. so much abt time management! haha.. was in the process of writing another great work of art.. but decided that this should come first since my blog has been rather stagnant for a while.. getting myself too involved in things is my problem.. i don't seem to be able to noe when to stop.. so here i am.. free from my previous obligations but caught up with the present ones..
we got through for stompAIDS! haha wow i thot that was really commendable.. although we were quite confident abt our idea but we knew we had strong competitors.. still hating the all or nothing part, but it's $10K at stake! oh man.. my favourite phrase.. so near yet so far.. but maybe it's more than the money.. it's the achievement.. that also spells more night/mornings till 4am and more creative juices being sapped out.. JIAYOU! i have faith in my team members because i think we have strengths of our own which do not really overlap..
nonetheless i'm still a happy person.. today spent the whole time debating abt case to decide on the prelimaries results.. it was interesting and i felt powerful in that i could decide which team gets the 100 bucks.. haha.. but it's definitely more than that.. it was the fun we had among ourselves.. the laughter, jokes, the comments that should be forgetten after we leave the room, the tough decisions.. the entirely different perspective of a judge looking at scripts and then realising how profs actually mark papers.. and then understanding how different pple look at papers.. perhaps one'll learn more from that perspective to noe how to write a paper and impress..
feeling loved for the past few weeks.. although bro is not home.. seems like i've been blessed with pple around to take care of me.. thankful for that..
hope that that'll let me survive the hard cold fact that i've got 4 midterms, 1 quiz, 1 presentation, 1 essay due the week after next, followed by jill lowe, stompaids and case during mid term break..
handing over
i haven't been the freer person i hoped to be after that faithful day.. 7th of Sept AGM.. my official handing over for the BizAd Club MC publications director position to the incoming 20th MC.. A relief i cannot really describe.. the fact not yet sunk in coz of the little loose ends i have to tie up for my successor.. nonetheless it means that my obligations end there..
jaded.. a word my friend used to describe we pple who have been through MC for one year.. i would like to think of it more of being seasoned.. experienced in our arena.. or perhaps overly experienced that we would like to stay away from it for a long while.. perhaps to took up sth beyond wad i could do.. perhaps i was not a good leader to start off with.. but definitely that one year term of office did sth to me..
i would have been harsh to say that the organisation has given me nothing.. perhaps i would have thot so before that.. but during AGM, when we were dressed so formally during an official handover, not only have all of us grown up, i also believe that bizad club has grown up too.. grown in the direction with all our inputs.. all our efforts.. and thinking of that all, for a committee made up of pple from diverse backgrounds, to achieve a certain synergy and understanding though we do not really interfere with one another's work is amazing.. and invaluable.. and the experience as a fire fighter.. and my own achievements..
lost.. another fellow colleague mentioned.. suddenly without such extra work from bizad club.. perhaps we'll realise after our lessons that we are so free.. and prob we won't be used to it.. haha.. interesting thot.. and i believe it'll exist in all of us.. but i noe i'll enjoy those free times at the moment..
as i hand over officially, i'll like to wish the committee all the best.. as for me.. life hasn't been too free.. in fact it's still been on the contrary.. with case and stompaids on hand now.. the hand over to a successor is for this year.. but prob i'll be successors to more than one organisation in the next.. hmm.. when will i ever be free?
