so many things have been happening recently, from ogl camp till today, and even the events which happened before. lets start from the ogl camp.
ogl camp was (how do i put this in words..) a learning point for most of us, or at least for myself, i would say. being in charge of sargas, along with everdearest kurseth, i've learnt so much more about the people we'll be working with, and i can say i'm thoroughly impressed. of course, certain issues still need to be addressed, and many still need to learn about one another, and trust, but nevertheless, they did what they had to do and pulled through this camp. for that, i take my hats of all of them.
you may be wondering what these 'certain issues' are. i don't think i need to blast it out here on the net, its just about us, the sargas people, learning how to accept one another for who they are. kusrseth and i spoke to them today, for a short 45 mins, about this, stressing the importance of unity and teamwork. i doubt that all of them actually listened (saw a lot of stoned faces), but i think the people whom we addressed, the people we needed to impact, were addressed and impacted. with this group of sargas people, i'm super sure we're gonna be one of the best houses, not in ranking, but in spirit. and that's what's important.
the one thing that really gave me a huge slap in the face was yesterday's meeting, from 11-8. yes. 11 am to 8pm. and i was here from 8am to clean up the freaking council room. halim's briefing took eons (we thought it'd never end). it was the thrashing session after the TAs left which left us all pondering on our actions over the past few months. a lot of tears, a lot of anger, a lot of emotions running amok. we started off thrashing a few people, letting out the 'fireworks'. finally, we could throw everything out and trust in each other. all of us have made mistakes somehow or other, and we needed that time to point them all out and apologise for them. finally, we could understand the term 'transparency'. lots of tears; don't know why it took us so long to realise that some of us will be leaving, for J1 or for poly. the 18 we once were can never be the same again; that was what hit me right smack in the face yesterday. no matter how much we try and say that we will always be 18, its not the same anymore, and only yesterday did we realise it. the one thing that would never change? our everlasting love!!! haha..
we've grown so much, all of us, i'm so so so thoroughly impressed by all of us, by how much we've learnt from one another. its so amazing, i can't put it into words. i think what happened yesterday will always stay in our memories. i don't wanna mention names, i don't wanna say what exactly happened, those are better left for hearts to keep close.
the 2nd students' council. the greatest that would ever live. all 18 of us.
the one thing i'll never regret joining.
thanks guys. for everything.
