EIGHTERS' YEARBOOK

PRESIDENT
Tricia Tan Ming Zhen
t is the time of the year again, where the publications director
Iwill rush the team for our writings for the yearbook. This is my
second year serving Hall, my second year in the Hall committee.
Up till now, I am still asking myself, what made me took this leap
of faith. I remember last year, when 25th journey was about to
come to an end, I received a lot of comments from seniors and
friends saying, “eh, next year, 跑 多 一 年 啦 ” and my answer to
them would always be “ 跑 去 哪 里 , 不 要 siao leh” but looking
at where I am now, what I could ever thought of is, “ wow, a
year has passed”.
All Eighters;
Thank you for your support through this entire year, be it joining
the different committee, attending events or playing for sports.
As much as everyone love the culture in Hall, the culture really
do come from you eighters yourself, every single one of
you eighters. The effort you guys have put in to turn this Hall
into a place where people can feel comfortable in. Definitely,
I would like to give a mad shoutout to those that have played
and support during the ihg/ihrg season. I hope that through this
season, everyone has learnt about the spirit Hall 8 has that is
unique to us, and it’s something that would never change along
the years. No matter who our players are, or who the committee
members are. The spirit of Hall 8 during IHG/IHRG season
has always been passed down batches by batches, and I hope
that this is something that will go on no matter how many years
have passed.
night just to head to a closed ice cream shop and back to bugis
for bingsu when all of our tummy are filled just because we were
so damn clingy and we love spending time with one another.
& Also, I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for
not sheltering you guys enough and protecting you guys enough
through the entire journey. If only.. If only.. I could realise the
reason behind everything, I would’ve done the best for the entire
team. But I wouldn’t said, I’ve regretted, because the journey
have yet to come to an end, let’s just say, Tricia has never left the
game from then.
No words can explain how thankful I am for every single one of
you. 你 们 都 是 我 的 宝

很 不 容 易 - I believe each of us have our own regrets and our
own burned out moments. To the extend we ask ourselves, 值
得 吗 ?Nobody will ever be able to answer this question except
for ourselves. 真 的 辛 苦 你 们 了 , 如 果 还 有 机 会 你 们 会 要 再
来 一 次 吗 ?;’)
As much as it was very tiring and painful through the journey, I
would love to give a mad shoutout to this girl, that kept things
going when I was about to crumble. No matter what happened,
I’ll still be here standing up for you, and yes,Tricia is back in the
game.
Srethgie/Royals;
Thank you for never giving up through the competition period,
and thank you for spending your time and effort in each of your
committee to create something so special for yourself and for
the Hall. Everything that happened this year was so different
compared to any other years due to covid-19 (just had to write
this down, so the batches in the future can see how screwed
things were bc of this virus). But again, you guys still push on
despite having no audience during IHCC or being unable to participate
in HOCC because of the restricted number of dancers. I
hope you guys have created the kind of magic each and everyone
wished for from the start.
26th 宝 宝 ;
被 耍 的 团 团 转 - I hope every single one of you would remember
how the journey started, and the good times we have been
through. I hope this journey was worth while for every single
one of you, nothing is ever easy, this journey was not as well.
If you guys have ever felt that this journey was a let down in
some way or another, I would just like to apologise for my lack
of leadership skills. I might not be your best president, nor am I
your best leader, but something I can always give all of you is the
shelter to protect all of you guys.
I’m thankful for the days we had our fair share of fun. Thankful
for the days you guys laugh at each other looking like a clown.
Thankful for the days we were inseparable. Thankful for the days
we ended our staycay to meet each other for supper again at
Nicole - my little baby, just wanted to say, through this journey
you’ve really changed a lot from the shy lil girl to someone that’s
more outspoken now. Must be really tiring having to deal with
so many things and portfolio at once, 我 真 的 很 佩 服 你 . But I
really hope that at the end of the day, the benefits have outweigh
the costs and you have had your fair share of joy throughout the
journey as well.
朋 友 ;
To those that have sticked through the high and lows with me,
im really grateful. It really is not easy to be a friend of mine, my
emotions, my anger, my love, my care is just everywhere. Sorry
for the times when I’m having bad days and you have to deal with
it, but at the end of the day, 该 留 的 都 还 留 着 , 该 走 的 我 还 很
感 谢 . For how far you go, I’ll go further, will always be here and
never anywhere else.
有 点 舍 不 得 - looks like the 26th term is coming to an end upon
submitting this write up. Tbh, it’s a lil bittersweet I would say..
Definitely will miss this entire bunch of people, having meetings
till 7am, laughing at Shamin, getting serious and what not. Im not
sure if I am ready to hand this over to the upcoming 27th, it
makes me feel empty while typing all these. Oh wells, I believe all
good things have to come to an end.
感 谢 大 家 的 支 持
You do you.
