ME
unexpected surprises; some twist
of events that just leaves you
completely dumbstruck when
you turn around and look back
on the things that have happened
to you. This is exactly how I feel
like now, at this point in time. I
am still in awe over what has happened
to me these past 4 months. FOUR
months and I feel like I've been
in NJ for years. So much has
happened. To start it all, I never
envisioned myself to be in NJC.
Right from the start it was RJ
all the way. My dream junior
college, located at a mere 2
bus stops away from my house.
And with an overall L1R5 of
4 for my prelims, RJC seemed
to dwell like a dream about to
come true. Then reality had to
strike me with a cruel blow;
I couldn't get into RJ even after
appealing. Like I said, NJC was
never where I envisioned myself
to be. Crushed though I was
intially, I slowly realised that
the Good Lord up there sent
me to NJ for a reason. Several
in fact, too long to explain it all,
and I won't elaborate, but really,
I am thankful for His wise
judgement and grateful that He
has placed me here, because
I won't be what and who I am
now if I were to be posted to some
other JC for JAE. Then, when I
picked up the application form
to run for Student Council, I was
adamant that I would get into
Terra HAT (ask me why personally;
it's a weird reason and I'm sure
that many of you already know).
Be it House Captain or not, I
just wanted a place in HAT because
I felt that my personality was
more suitable for HAT than
any other committees. But then
Terra HAT became the most
competitive committee to
run for, with the most number
of candidates vying for a place
in there, and I admit that I got
a little disheartened especially
after all the rumours that circulated
that seemed to suggest that
Ziyi was already 100%-guarantee
-plus-chop-get Terra House Captain
and that he had already chosen
someone in mind to be in his team;
and none of it all seemed to suggest
that I would have a place in the
team. So I did something that
(admittedly) surprised many;
I decided to run for Honourary
Treasurer. Yup, a post that nobody
can envision the super enthu,
uber chatty, loud and noisy
Mylene Lim in. Muahaha but then
again He decided to spring yet
another surprise on me, and I
got the post. HONOURARY
TREASURER. Till today, I
still can't believe I'm a
treasurer. Yikes. Better
get use to it though. Such
a foreign word to me. Never
mind, I will still continue to
support Terra HAT!
Yup, so ultimately, I did choose
to give up my chance to be in
HAT. It was a risk I took, and
I'm glad that at least, from
a certain aspect, it did pay
off. I will continue rah-rahhing
and I will be the noisiest
Treasurer NJCSC has ever
had!:)
Thank you to all those who have
constantly supported, guided
and encouraged me, all the
way from the day I picked
up my form up till now. There
are just too many of you, but
rest assure that each and
every single one of you
are remembered. You guys
believed in me even when
I distrust myself. Thank you.
