...

Just got back from NUSBS AGM. There are 2 things which I really appreciate - Hostel and Car.

With a hostel, the members of the society could afford to stay up late till the end of AGM, or even go for supper after the AGM. I really appreciate my hostels throughout the 4 yrs cos i could stay up late for many activites, without the additional worry of not able to catch up with the last bus to go home. And i guess my car did serve up many purposes over the yrs in BS, transporting bulky stuffs from point A to point B in various activities. And of cos to transport myself and several other fellow BS friends home.

Though both items are not essential, but they definitely make life easier. But without them, my life certainly wud not be as enriched or meaningful.

This must be the 5th AGM i have attended. The jnrs have done a good job, although i see that there were still a couple of essential gaps that require me to personally fill up. I dun blame them, but could only blame on the failure of passing down the baton well. A lot of impt things were not passed down properly (including my batch to the jnr batch) and thats probably why, i feel that many things have been 'simplified', 'short-cut' and obliviously omitted. I personally feel that this is v serious.

I learnt and realised tonite that I have been taking certain things for granted, again. Running the MC or not was just a matter of choice for me in the past, i realised it may not be the case for some other ppl. There shld be some ppl who wanted to run quite badly, but yet circumstances (like family or studies) do not allow them to. Its jus like the much spoken story abt this person who complained he doesn have nice shoes, until he saw someone with no feet. Sometimes even if u have the heart to help, u dun have the means to do so.
