ow about you give Council a try?” One of
“Hmy senior told me. I was hesitant about
joining the school Council as I’ve never taken up
such a big leadership role in my entire life. Ever
since I was a child, I was more of a follower than
leader. For me to join the Council is a very big
decision I have to make. I consulted my roomie
about it and we decided to give Council a shot as
I want to have an enriching university experience.
Thus, my roomie (Shamin) and I took up the responsibility
to be Recreation Directors.
For starters, I was very unclear about my responsibility
and role as a Recreational Director. Part
of me was worried that I made a huge mistake
and was not up to the task of being a member
of the Council. I was afraid that people would be
mad of me because I did a poor job. However, I
am very grateful for the overwhelmingly positive
energy that the Council brings and the constant
motivation that I get to keep me going. A special
thanks to Zhiwei that guided me step by step and
helped me along the way throughout my journey.
The extra effort he put in guiding me is something
I’ll never forget.
than what I require. Not forgetting the players
that participated in IHRG as well, I really appreciate
the effort they put in to train for it. I’m very
proud of all of them for taking the effort to train
and compete in IHRG regardless the results.
Also would like to thank my fellow Council members
for being so supportive towards each other.
They are the ones that make me think joining
Council was not a mistake. This is especially so
during the IHRG period where they stayed by me
and helped me out throughout the entire winter
holiday. I’m very grateful for each and everyone
of them from the bottom of my heart. Although
sometimes we might face obstacles along the
way, we always find the time to talk it through
and resolve it. They are the ones that made me
feel like I’m at home whenever I’m with them.
Lastly, I would like to thank my partner, Shamin,
that always supported me throughout the whole
JCRC journey. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to
do my job well. I’m really grateful for all the things
he has done for me.
One of the longest and toughest job for me is during
the Inter-Hall Recreational Games (IHRG). As
Hall 8 was in charge of logistics, we had to account
for all the chairs, tables and the different games
for all the 22 Halls that are competing. The constant
moving of the tables and chairs was tiring but
I’m grateful for all the Recreational Directors that
helped me along the way. IHRG lasted the whole
winter break and it was super tiring because the
games were back to back with minimal rest days.
I’m really thankful for everyone who supported
me during this period. It was because of them that
I managed to pull through IHRG.
Firstly, I would like to thank my Subcomm members
for everything. They were the ones that helped
me to plan trainings for IHRG. Some even
took the extra effort to hold extra training, more
