Just came back from council camp ytd, felt so tired, lol. I've finally stand down from council, yes, finally. Im gonna miss council, especially the duties. haha. The camp was wonderful, went to sentosa to built sand castle, had so many sun burnts. haha. The stand down was great, though there was some delays here and there due to some problems, but it was worth the wait, i mean, it's really cool to have steamboat during stand down. haha during the stand down dinner, we made fun of joelle and mervyn, we said that we are attending their wedding dinner. lol. The nite walk was kinda okay, but i guess cos we are short of time, therefore we have more ppl in a group, thus defeats the purpose of nite walk. i was suppose to be stationed in a classroom beside the "tunnel" station, but it was locked, tt's why emelia and i were outside the corridor. lol. We did manage to scare some groups like vivek's and some others. The funny thing was, i got scared by guo wei. i was abt to jumped out and say boo then guo wei just appear rite in front of me. haha. I've actually prepared my stand down speech way before the camp, but i dunno why, i just forgot everything. so i guess i'll just have my proper stand down speech here.
stand down speech:
firstly i'll want to thk all the teachers esp miss lim cos i spent most of my time with her. She's my homec teacher in sec 1 and 2 then my F&N teacher from Sec3 till now. she gave me lots of advices on school worl, council and my life, witjoput her, i would have come this ar.
Im glad tt i wasn given the opportunity to join council, i have learnt so much in council, done so many "first times" here. If it's not for council, i wouldnt have the courage to make a speech and carry on to be the soft spoken and introvert cherlyn.
Definitely, i'll want to thk my batch of councillors, they left me so many fond memories i'll never forget. I'll like to thk shalyn especially, she has always been there for me, when i was troubled, happy or sad, i know she's always there for me. She has always believe in me, thru her, i learnt to believe in myself now.
To the current batch of sec 4s, i'll never forget you, ever since my batch of councillors graduated, i felt tt council is a little different for me, i feel kinda isolated, but with you guys, i felt not son different anymore. To clayton, Syafiq and Yolanda, enjoy being a sec 5, it's gonna be difficult, but at the same time, it's enjoyable, so you guys continue to rock on k?
Also to the sec 3s and 2s, though i dunno all of you well enough, but i noe, only with you guys, council will continue to be the council all of us wanna be in. After the stand down, you guys are gonna stand up and lead the juniors, dun be afraid of mistakes, it's what makes you grow, be strong.
council has given me a lot of opportunities, im glad that i was given a chance to be an exco member. thru council, i've grown and found myself. i dunno if ive been a good senior/ friend, but i hope during my stay in council, i've made a difference in you. it's been great to watch you ppl grow. thank you so much for everything you guys have done for me. I'll definitely miss you guys and i love council.
