Goodbyes and Welcomes, Sickness and Recovery

I hope that my cough + flu is actually recovering, considering how well I felt in the morning, worse in the afternoon... probably even worse in the evening? >_> Let's just hope I recover soon. Sucks to fall ill.

Today... was a pretty interesting day. It was my [considerably] last day being in the Exco [executive committee] in my CCA, since it was time to pass it to the J1s. What seemed like an arduous process was... well, arduous. It really took some time to get everything done.

What was interesting though, was how I felt. At first I looked forward to the stepping down, considering how much extra time I would have from being free from CCA.

But, right after I dismissed our newly formed J1 Exco for the first time [which would be my last], it seems as if there's a feeling of unwillingness to give up my position to my "descendants". It was fun leading a group, hosting a meeting, even though it wasn't my style of leading.

"If a CCA can survive without you, you have not been a good leader." was what one teacher said during a camp last year. I heard it, and now I'm reflecting upon it. I wonder if the new batch can survive? I feel that it would be pretty much a big yes. In fact, I may have failed as a leader.

Won't go into details, but it feels as though I haven't contributed much to the CCA. It feels as if anyone could have done what I have done, speaking to a group of people. Seriously and critically speaking, I have not fared well.

What I have fared well in, though, is that I have learned to lighten up in things, and at the same time found many good friends that I doubt I will forget. They were my Exco mates, and have helped me lots along the way, even giving me guidance, criticisms, comments and such. I really appreciate it, and have slowly changed myself in the process.

So, this is it. It's sayonara to E-Club, with me now having another large burden off my chest. Although I haven't told everything I need to, to the new leader, I definitely will be able to before the next meeting x). Where I start, I end off. It's time to wave goodbye and hope that I have left some impact on the club itself.

Lastly, I'll definitely have to thank especially the following people: [warning - pretty long list!]
Kenneth T.
Amanda G.

Mei Xiu

...for making my life so enriching and fun! It was a great time having you guys around, sharing all the laughter we had. Any arguments we have is long gone, any happy moments shared stays in my heart. It's what's happy that we should remember, cause it keeps us going. Having such a fun group was really a big bonus I have had, and I cannot ask for more from you guys. Thank you =). Let's plan Exco / Affinity outing some time yeah? =D

Of course, I cannot forget the many other J2s which have made E-Club complete, making it a really fun experience to have, telling you guys what to do. Without you I wouldn't have been here. Thanks for sharing all these moments I've had with you! =)

Well, that ends my post. I wonder if anyone actually reads these much words. I'm a wordy guy, not that much pictures =p. Hope this changes slowly, though! Also, expect an interesting post coming up in a few days!
