EIGHTERS' YEARBOOK

PUBLICATIONS DIRECTOR
Kaitlyn Yuan Xiao Shan
Wow, writing about my 26th journey while
having to look at this A5-sized image of
myself staring at me is quite embarrassing. Nonetheless,
here it goes...
I remember when I was a freshie, I wanted to
experience the full package of being an eighter
- Completing my 3-2-1 requirements, The “Srethgie”
experience, attending every single event that
was held etc... I never ever thought that included
the ~Hall Council~ experience but here I am, a
member of the 26th Hall Council. I guess I am
proud to say that I have completed the Hall slave
journey at the young age of 21.
Being a viscom student in ADM, I was actually very
unsure if I was able to do a good job in being a publications
director. I only knew then how to shoot
on my phone or when I do use a DSLR, it will definetely
be on Auto mode. Thankfully to Yongkai’s
guidance, I am confident to say that I have learnt
a lot more about cameras and their functions. My
interest in photography has grown immensely as
well. Nothing beats the feeling of seeing an image
come to life after putting it through Lightroom.
To fellow the Hall Residents, thank you all for
attending the Hall events that my fellow team
members have so whole-heartedly prepared for.
As a common Hall Resident last year, I didn’t get
to see what goes on behind the scenes of allowing
such activities to come to life. Thank you for not
allowing their hardship go to waste by attending
and supporting them. I would also like to thank
Residents especially throughout this IHG period.
Thank you for taking time to play for our Hall and
pushing on despite injuries. My heart hurts every
time I see someone in pain.
that suffered during the IHG seasons, especially
on days with 7 on-going sports. Oh my god, it was
stressful. Thank you to my friends who joined the
Subcom to support me.... Thank you to my Year 4
Subcommers, Yong Kai and Jake! I know you guys
can actually slack in your last year but still chose
to join Publications. Hall 8 will miss your photography.
To my Hall Council members, having missing portfolios
here and there, I know it wasn’t easy. Often,
many of us had to take roles of portfolios that
we did not run for. Yet, none of you guys complained
which made me very grateful. I know we
have made mistakes and we also have our ups and
downs but I also know that we have tried our best
to serve. I will miss the stupid conversations we
have in the conference room.
To my roomie, thank you for joining this journey
with me and I know it was not the easiest for you.
Skipping the whole junior portfolio to being a Top
3 member seems daunting but you still took up
the challenge. Seeing you in a leadership position
showed me how responsible and loyal you are as
a team member. RESPECT.
To my friends, sorry.... I have missed out on a lot of
bonding time with you guys especially on wednesdays
and IHG period... please don’t forget about
me.
Thank you Hall 8! Hall 8 Hall 8 Hall8! JIAYOU
JIAYOU JIAYOU!
To my Subcommers, thank you so much for making
this journey so easy! Never have I ever had
such a good team of people that were always willing
to help when I ask. Sorry to the Subcommers
