handing over.last day as president in FAC.
relieved yet nostalgic.
today was all the official handing over. of posts, roles, responsibilities and the club. smiles on the faces of those who got into the ex-co, and true looks of disappointment on those who missed it. it's inevitable. i guess the most successful team is not of a totally perfect ex-co, but of an entire group of people working towards their common goal, ex-co or non ex-co alike. such was not possible with my batch and now it's up to them.
gave the keys to the new appointed president and duties head. watched the ex-co being formed, and how they took over from there.
can't remember what took place last year. there was no official handover. just remembered someone telling me "aye you're the president". and how i struggled to remember the other members in my ex-co. of course, they are the ones who've walked with me through it all. never knew what it took to be a president, and i never knew if i had it to be one.
countless duties done. workshops for all sorts of causes conducted. liasing with other CCA groups. running in and out of the sickbay with the kits and stretchers. a change of teacher in charge. trying to push the ex-co together. one year.
it just seems so fast. ever had one of those times when time just seemed to have slipped from your hands and there you are standing, thinking you're still on the same piece of land but in fact, you're already standing on another, a more weathered piece of land.
i'm glad for all the efforts we've put in, and even happier with the results shown. moving away from the ten minutes meetings just for the sake of having one. no longer having a ex-co of eight and a membership of eight. providing our full service not just to fulfil our scope as a service CCA but out of our own want. the satisfaction of jobs done well. and the warmth in the heart when someone comes up to you and comments on a job well done. and the content in getting the club recognised.
God's fair. our fair share of the bad. the teacher who never seemed to understand us. the members who just couldn't commit. the restrictions we had due to the nature of our CCA.
thank God for the ones who stood by and walked the path with me. the ones who didn't have a decent chance to get to know each other during the ten minutes meetings. the ones who didn't know each other well until like this year. the ones who went through the ups and downs together. the CCA mates who eventually turned into friends.
i'm thankful for all the diffferent opportunities FAC opened for me. AB camper. our network of CCA heads. working with different CCAs, departments and teachers. speaking in front of large groups of people during workshops. speaking in front of the entire school during announcement. AB instructor. and the lot.
our term has ended. but our influence has not.
another chapter of my life closed. i'm begining to miss all these in my life.
and i'll defintely miss these peeps.
