JYSC …

Alright people who left comments on my previous entry, I shall comment on that at a later post when I have the time. But for now, SOTA students, please take your fight elsewhere. Hahaha! Like what Lip said, I know where each class stands in my heart.

I met up with the Junyuan EXCO’07 yesterday at Terminal 3. Gosh I really miss them so much. Really enjoyed all the laughter and jokes we shared. Brings back so much memories of all the battles we fought together and getting things up in school.

I am truly amazed at Hafiz’s batch. Even when I was back for the Sec 1 Camp 2 weeks back, I saw how they remembered everything I taught them and organized the camp with such finesse.

I’m quite thankful that I actually left Junyuan. Because in my absence, I truly saw how much the EXCO and Council has learnt. When they complained about certain things and asked why aren’t things done in a certain way, I can observe that they are being very critical and analyzing the whole situation.

I can see the standards they try to achieve in their work and organization. I can see them understanding the need to be meticulous in their planning and making sure that every corner is turned and every contingency is covered.

Even when they were lamenting about the current situation in the council, I could see the reasoning behind their thoughts and how they appreciate what we used to do. That could only spell well for their future as leaders.

I seriously had no idea how well they learnt from all the interactions and planning sessions we had. If I’ve been still at Junyuan, I wouldn’t be able to know too. Now, I know beyond a shadow of doubt that they know what to do, how to do it and why it should be done in a certain way. I’m just so proud of them.

Looking back, I don’t recall having too many training sessions with them. But I do remember alot of interactions and planning discussions. I believe many things in life are not taught(explicitly) but are caught. During those intense meetings ladden with lame jokes and bellyaching laughter, I believe they caught what I was always trying to inculcate in them.

Those were precious moments that you never get to appreciate because you were so tired and stressed out with everything. Now, you treasure them like the pages of an ancient text passed down from generations eons ago.

I do love them heaps. Seeing them grow from tiny innocent enthusiatic Sec 1s into the wonderful leaders that they are now is a kind of joy that you will never find elsewhere. Ok maybe except in the arms of your lover. Hahaha.

On another note, the break is coming to an end. At least I get to get some rest but I think the new term will be a blast! Looking forward to the camps coming up end of May. Sigh it would be great if I can work together with the EXCO on another camp. Whooosh!
