-Malaysian and Singaporean Society: Welfare Officer
-Law Student

Last night we had e elections for the MSS committee. I'm very touched and happy that all of my dearest friends from Sherwood- Fifi, Jenn, MauMau, Stef, Deanna, Chen, Jason, Raymond, Yifei, Vincent(HK) turned up in full force to support Vincent(Msia) and I.. :) I love you guys, thanks for all the support and encouragement!

Especially to Jenn "Jbird", Stef "Stepbird", Fifi "Chickybabe" who really helped me with my speech! Haha I had the best counsel, all the HK girls are seasoned debaters who take part in mooting competitions or in a leadership position. :) Jenn is really wonderful; she's running for President of the International Student's Bureau and I do hope she gets it- She does have what it takes! And her pep-talk really boosted my confidence and determination to achieve what I wanted. And Vincent, now the Vice President and Jason, who soothed my nerves by totally cracking me up with the things they said. lol!

Anyway, my position was the only one contested out of the 8 posts- I didn't expect that at all. Was also having a nasty headache, having not been sleeping well the last few weeks. Still, I prayed for strength and a clear mind to answer questions and God really did come through for me. Surprisingly, I didn't feel nervous at all and I could deliver what I wanted to communicate naturally.. :) The Q&A round was good too, although everybody was directing all the difficult questions at me rather than my competitor. My friends, not just the Sherwood peeps but seniors like Jon and Zijing told me I spoke and answered very well! Hehee praise the Lord!

I remember the last time I did something like this was 2 years ago during the Project Work assessment in college. Super stressful time.. I never thought I was cut out for public speaking, but Mr Hoe revealed to me the next day that the assessors told him that I answered a challenging question very well. I was very encouraged. Also ran for one of the slack positions in Dance Society in college but I met a couple of girls in the toilet who told me they voted me for President instead! Hahaha!

In all, I'm glad for experiences like this, where I'm pushed out of my comfort zone and stretched to fight for something which I'm not naturally inclined towards. It's great achieving something you put your mind to doing. Again, I have my Lord and my friends to thank for.. I couldn't have done it without you. :)

Congrats to Vincent too!! You'll do an excellent job, no doubt about that. Thanks for everything. :)
