Alea iacta est.
When stepping in thru the pearly gates of HC, it will mark the start of the remaining 50% of my journey there. Though it probably wont end abruptly after j2, but i'm not really keeping my hopes up. Through the previous gruelling year in HC, i realised that individual friendships flourish, but team/group spirit fails. It seem always a challenge and task to involve all, but yet it has seldom been met wif any success. Wif the coming of the new year, time is not kind on me, wif the coming up of the commitments of my various ccas, the colliding wif homework and tests, things will be hectic and tough. Meanwhile frenships will be continually maintained and progressed if possible, which would probably be the most demanding of all my resources.
Time indeed has flown pass hastily. 2004 was full of events, memories, achievements, failures, mistakes, lessons and adventure.
The mistake of the year would be foolish enuff to ran for CO ex-co. The idea and excution of the process, as well as, the change of the elected makes it disappointing. Apparently, fortune favours those that curry.
Regret of the year would be not to have run for Interact Ex-co. Although not gurantee of success, but the idea and process appealed to me. Not running for it, is a closely linked incident wif my mistake of the year. As compared to others, interact ex-co is better and cohesive.
Joke of the year had many candidates, including my flopped huang cheng audition, but wat come up top would have to me being the Song, Cheer, Dance IC of my factulty. As mentioned b4, i cannot sing for nuts, haev ZERO dancing knowledge/experience. the only thing i can do is to cheer wif regards to the role. Anyways, it was a privilage to have an experienced dance partner. Much credit has to be hers for coming up wif the dance and all. I allocate much respect for her.
Surprise of the year is the hardest to decide, for i was truly touched and delightful surprised many things that my frens have done for me. As such, i cannot really decide btw all those acts, but mention has to go to a few gd frens of mine, whom would make special efforts to help me, talk to me when i'm down/disappointed/etc.
I would like to thank them for their kind and encouraging words and acts :)
In HC, i have gained wat i kinda lacked in my previous years : really gd and caring frens. Though there were occassional arguements and disputes between, but i'm still really appreciative that still the friendship remains intact, strengthen by the frictions. Wat i dream and hope for is that in my twilight years, i can still be able to keep in contact and to talk n regale the eventful past. However, wat i have lost somewat in HC, is my confidence. This is gd to a extent, for it serves well to blow my ego, for through my prev. years, i have became arrogant as testified by some. It has indeed been beneficial for me. Yet, still sometimes, it can be said that too much confidence is lost, till the point that i was terrified of things previously that i was never worried of.
To sum up 2004, the gains and losts has been much and more. Emotionally, turmoil was great, and i have learned much from it and benefitted from it. Academically, i have slumped, though i gt some gd progress award (?).
In 2005, my hopes would be of better unity of the class, having an excellent junior class, good results, and the "A" division championship. Most importantly, to keep and progress my relationships wif my family and frens :)
