Once a 30th, always a 30th
It has only been 10 hours since I stepped down and to be honest, I'm still trying to get over this overwhelming feeling in my heart. How it seems that 45 days ago (when I checked the counter) I was hoping for AGM to come soon because I felt that it was really time to hand over to the next generation and let them run the show. But as we got nearer and nearer to 27th Feb, I started becoming more and more unwilling to part with my designation.
And so even though we held our AGM yesterday, I couldn't help but kept quiet when the 30th exco was dissolved. Ashley said, 'okay, let's do this together' but I couldn't even say those simple words. What am I going to do with my subsequent Wednesday afternoons? What am I going to do with my dropbox filled with 1 year of experience? What is going to be the topic of your conversations in the 30th whatsapp?
It seems as if our own elections were just yesterday; I could still remember what happened vividly. Back then, the roller coaster emotions I felt and the heart to serve. The heart is of course still there.
Yesterday also saw my batchmates giving us so much support as they always have. It was so heartwarming and I couldn't help but tear when Edmund came up to represent the rest and speak of what we had done. If anything, nothing we did would have been possible without them, right from Spring Term Picnic to Spring Term trip. It was them you see consistently appearing for our events and enjoying themselves at them. That was all we need. For what we want to see is an ICSS so bonded that everyone knows everyone. I am so proud of them and so so so thankful for them. There were tough times in this 1 year but it was their support that pulled us through this. Knowing that no matter what we do, we have this bunch of great people with us, supporting us all the way. Words cannot describe how lucky I feel to have them.
So, one year later, I woke up and I was no longer an events officer.
