sji was nice. though only like 8 juniors turned up. it was quite nice talking to them. the girls all had vampire teeth. quite cool. hahax. and jeraldine (nope, no spelling mistakes. cool right?) was super cute cause she was super tensed when taking the photo. hahax. i don't really remember what we talked about. but it was quite fun. thanks to those who turned up. thanks to those who BBQ-ed. thanks to the people who organized it. it was nice. hahax. there was food. alot of it left over. maybe cause we ordered for like 30 people when we expected 13 j1's to show up. lolx. in the end alot of it was wasted which was quite sad. ah well. at least we had fun with the 8 who turned up. lolx.
fund raising this round didn't go as well as expected. we didn't make as much as the last time. there were quite some leftovers. and i have no idea what happened to them. lolx. they like just disappeared. especially the ice-pops. quite sianz. and as usual. we had non-existent members. lolx. i'm not sure if we can make it to our target. $1000 is alot of money. hopefully we can sell after the cross country and clear the stocks.
guitar practice was bad. the combined rehearsal was bad. couldn't here anything. haish. no idea why. some people not putting in effort? have no idea. and people still wanna pon. haish. where can? show some responsibility and commitment can. lolx.
leadership. i used to believe that leaders were made. not born. however, im beginning to think otherwise. this sounds cliché. with greater power comes greater responsibility. leadership is not something you sign up for fun. i remember this poem. but i can't remember who wrote it. it goes something like that.
"i want to be the leader.
can i? can i?
yeah! im the leader!
so now what do we do?"
signing up to be a leader. do we just do it for the sake of the fame, recognition and the privileges associated with it? it appears some of us do. i do not believe in servant leadership, but i do believe that someone unwilling to serve is not cut out to be a leader. shirking away from responsibilities and making excuses. how can one be a leader like that? at the end of the day, you get a nice report. a nice testimonial. but. did you earn it? i wonder. it's not easy being a leader. but not putting in effort just sucks. Disrespect. Is all you earn.
of course. all this is not directed at anybody. just random ramblings and thoughts after reading a book. hahax. looking forward to next sji i suppose. if there is one. lolx.
just found a picture of the early ones. two more turned up. i'll upload the group photo when i get a hold of them.
♥ you and i both loved
