legacies

as my time come to an end, i would like to reflect in a post long overdue on this blog.

deep, heartfelt thanks to shixiong, zak, phoebe, zixin. even to marcus, jen law, say heng, dunstan. and all other seniors who made a difference to life and leadership in wkwsci.

many people have come to me to congratulate the 16th on a job well done. they said i pushed the school to greater heights. they said i made a difference. they said i nurtured CI Club into a force to be reckoned with, or at least a credible school committee.

some shining milestones are the three adhocs of foc, dnd and papa, which i strongly feel outdid their immediate predecessors.

i cant be any prouder.

to my detractors, i challenge you to prove your own worth. i suggest you see the circumstances i started in. i dare you to look at your own legacy and shout that you were better.

anyway, on that, as much as i have already said it, the 15th made a difference too.

your circumstances were worse than mine. but you worked doubly hard, never shying away from a fight. if you - shixiong, zak, phoebe, zixin - went into a different era, you probably would have made a bigger mark than me.

im standing on the shoulders of giants.

thanks, again.

now that has become past tense.

i am done. two years of my life, my time in ntu and wkwsci. i know i sacrificed a lot for all these, and many of my friends know it. i hope people know i did it coz i love the school. two years of my most important time in university, the formative years.

    Good job and really touched to read this.

    Kudos not just to you but everyone in the club. They ran their portfolios with vigour and you managed to bring it all together.

    Hopefully, we can work together for future events and functions.

    Can still remember the first day you walked into the school. Haha.

    PS: You will still call me boss. Hah
