Decision making

The time has come to a point which I must decide for books and CCA stuff again. To keep things going, here goes:

I definitely have to focus a lot more on my studies right now. Thinking about the slide in results, I need to do something to stop the slide, and I surely have to do good semesters to keep myself in the running for good results to come. So I am positioning my priority to books especially come August.

As for PSSOC, I have definitely realised that the society has given me more than what I have given to it. I sure recognise the fact that without this one year, I would not have learnt a few things such as diplomacy, man management, and OJT. So the time comes to me deciding how to give back to the place that accepted me when I was in my deepest misery. I think I have found the answer to that, but I will have to sort it out with a few people in the current committee to see this through.

One thing though...I do not see myself running the committee myself because I know I am not ready to do so. In fact, the opportunity for myself to be the boss or President of any majoy project will take a long time, but I now realise what it takes to be there.

Of course, not forgetting to update for Rag of course...

The mechanism is finally done for the main float, so that's a wonderful thing to celebrate. In fact, the success has shown that the main float does beat the main floats of past Arts Rags, so I am feeling confident that this Rag is going to exceed all expectations.

Still, there are problems to tackle...Manpower, finances, logistics, and the lorry itself...and how we can finally get this done. But I am confident still that with fellow Raggers, we can overcome them, and show the full potential and awake the sleeping dragon that Arts has been to Rag. Truly, I can feel that this Rag, although I am not as greatly involved as the last, is the one that can realise my dream of being in a winning Rag...

Long Live Arts Rag 2006!

Problems all around...melancholy?

Read an article just some time ago...it seems like this is not ending. I will not comment on it, other than I will just consign it to history. For more info on this, I will only talk about this in private.

The more urgent issue though, is that I am not getting a vote of confidence for what I have been doing. Money matters is not good already, what more the no vote of confidence shown in me by a few important people who need to know of the situation right now?

This is not looking good.

As for rag, things have considerably slowed down, though not on purpose. Lionel's away for his diving, and I can only thank the heavens that Reuben has come in at the right time to help the hard techies out. I really felt it when Reuben sprained his back doing the mechanism for the main float at around 1am last Thursday. Even with the few of us around such as Guan Jie, Paul, Jingyi, Eileen...we managed to do make progress when the freshies and some seniors had to go at night (I am guilty because I had to go for another committee meeting at night only to come back later at 10pm)...

That's why Arts Rag will win. Because the hearts of all Raggers will carry it through no matter the obstacles, big or small, or how many of them we must overcome. At the end of the day, because of raggers and the heart of the freshies who are willing to stick it out with us, Arts Rag 2006 will be the most wonderful Rag I can consider myself to be part of.

Right now, I am awaiting for more raggers and close friends who can help out once their internships are over...if anything, let me know if you can help out...
