this day is finally over... the results of weeks of planning, meetings and headaches.
This event has really been a learning experience. I must say i have gained a lot from this event.
Despite being present for 4oth anniversary, none of us had any idea what happened behind the scenes. So, in the end, we started from scratch. From guest lists to invitation cards, emails, t-shirts, souvenirs, programme sheets, the actual programme and the list goes on. We literally started from ZERO but we managed to pulled through. I am so proud of my fellow officers, OCTs and my juniors. In spite of some hiccups during the event, i am glad that the most of it went well.
The progress through this event had not been an easy. I have faced the most ups and downs i ever had in one period during this event. For the past couple of weeks, i have faced joy, disappointment, low self confidence and the final sense of achievement. I really wanted to give up halfway but I still hanged on till the end and i am glad that i did that. I would have been so disgusted with myself if i just walk out on my friends like that.
Thinking back, that period of time was so stressed. Like what a friend said, it was even worst than studying. I totally agree. All the late nights and the running here and there and the endless meetings. Sigh...
Now that it is over, i have other things on my hand. When will the things ever end? No, they will never end. The question i should ask myself is how long do i want to carry on doing all these. A friend once teased me, saying that i will only quit when St John collapse. I guess he might be correct.
Joining RV and St John was the turning point of my life. I will not be who i am now without the trainings from St John and i would not have met one of the most important people in my life if not for St John. Words cannot describe how i feel about St John(probably coz i m bad at them) so i am not going to try and describe.
Anyway, go the site below for some snippets of the event.
