well. you could say today has been an eventful day of sorts. although there was ample time during the day here and there to stone. first major event of the day being the 31st students council investiture. well, from the beginning i could sorta sense this feeling of sadness pervading, even though it wasnt exactly obvious.. its a beginning for some, and an end for others.. the beginning of the end for some, and perhaps the end of the beginning (?) for others still. even though i do not personally know any of the 30ths students council, so that i could say that i am their friend, seeing them around school, doing their everyday thing, especially the more visible ones, has given me an insight into their lives. like this person has a particularly wacky nature.. or so and so is respected by his/her peers.. you know, things like that. not that i even know their names or anything. but watching them walk past down the centre aisle in the school hall was rather heart wrenching for me. some bravely held back their tears by contorting their faces in the hope of not letting them fall. some let the silent tears fall, but only after a struggle not to. a few cried unashamedly. others still seemed to have a face set in stone. but i guess whatever the outward appearance, inside is probably a tumult. (that word looks so wrong) some more and some less.. but one can only imagine what theyre feeling right now. just watching these leaders of my school for the past half a year has given me a sense of how much each and every one of these students has grown.. from being strangers, to becoming friends that you know you can rely on.. the time they must have spent labouring for some project or another, so as to make acjc a better place for you and for me.. (yesyes i know i sound kind of cliched.. forgive me) all the late nights, all the lost voices? yeah and all the little sacrifices that i probably will never know.. maybe not all are as noble that their main reason of running for council was because they wanted to serve the school.. i really dont think so.. but i guess over the past year plus that has become the reason they are still doing the things that you and i probably wouldnt be doing if we had a choice.. and i guess what i really wanted to say.. was that im really proud of the 30th students council. yesyes i know, i dont even know them personally.. i dont know their story. but just by imagining.. oh gosh im really sure theyre gonna miss ac like dunno-what. i wonder if the next batch knows exactly what theyre getting themselves into.. anyways. i guess it is true then. it is only in giving that you truly receive.. maybe i should start giving more of myself instead of being such a miserly old grump.. hmmm...
tired... so tired...
