Halfway through my term

Thanks to many who have made things happened especially the Project Directors of Various Projects and my MC Members. I was reflecting through the last half a year and I realise that I am surrounded by people who are going all out to support me, especially my MC members. I am really grateful to them to the extent that I feel that no words can describe how thankful I am for them. As the beacon of light for the club, *or so I think*, all that this light do is to give directions and that's about all. It still takes the hands and legs of the rest of the team to move forward.

Leading this club made me feel so much like the drummer of a Dragonboat team. **too heavy to be a real one though** All that I do as the drummer of this team is to make noise. Strong and constant noise. **aka think and instruct the MC on what to do** Yes it is impt so that the coordination of the boat is good and the boat will move forward faster but the drummer is still only a drummer. He is NOT the one whose arm will ache halfway through the race. He is NOT the one who will have to endure the pain. He is JUST the one to make noise. Loud noise.

What went on in my mind is also the promise that I made to myself. The promise to ensure that at the end of my term, everyone in the MC will have a piece from me. A piece from me that they will take and bring along with them for the rest of their lives. To make sure that at the end of their term of office, they will grow up with me and not only grow old with me. Our term will end and once it end, I know that I will miss little things that happened between us. Long meetings, club retreat that is so draining with the discussion but yet fun with polar bear game **you will get to know that quiet people are the most dangerous.. (points to seo hoon)**, going for activities together etc. In the next half a year, let us treasure all the time together as a team, because this team have an expiry date *in terms of operations*. But do remember that this team does not and will not have an expiry date in terms of our memories and such. Perhaps 5-10 years down the road, we will still be meeting up together as 18th MC and reminiscence about the things that we do during our club days. Perhaps we can have a 18th MC award on every SDE Award Day to give to the most outstanding member of DE Club. Perhaps we can start a DE Club Alumni Fund to fund the activities. Perhaps.. Perhaps.. Perhaps.. There are so many things that we can do together.. =D

Since I am feeling so high now, it is better to stop writing or I will start to talk old grandpa stories le... haha.. Thanks to all those who have supported me thus far, in a way or another. Special Thanks to my close friends, OYJM, LXW, NXJ, WHZ and their partners. Not forgetting the one who suffered the most with me taking up this position, Lovely thanks to Lovely Lynn for standing by me at all times, 24/7/365.
