...comes greater responsibility... right, like you haven't heard of it, everyone heard of it, at least once in their entire life. I think it was from Spiderman... or is it?
Just recently I was made head boy of the school, and that has made changes in me. I wouldn't say it is a bad thing, I would take it as a chance to improve myself. Like they say, for everything gained, there is something that you will lose.
What I lost, is myself. What I gained, is another part of me. I used to be someone who doesn't really care about what is happening around, a happy-go-lucky person, where the biggest thing you can worry about is... having a good game on DotA? well, I can't think of anything to worry about back then. Stress-free, care-free.
As of now I have to become someone who needs to be on his best everyday. From the way my hair is combed, to the shoes that have to be polished. Well, I'm serious, now I'm using hair oil to tidy up my hair, I think it's been years since I last use that. I don't get to play around in class, or sleep in it, or leave my homework undone or anything-bad-or-mischievous-you-can-think-about. Now it is planning everyday, worrying about future events, organizing them, lots of cash involved, lots of people involved, lots of skills involved, from leadership skills to communication skills to whatever skills there is on your mind.
My blog's description says it all, nothing matters here, I could say what I want... but really, I won't be surprised to be informed by teachers/students/whatever people that I need to watch what I say on my blog.
As the workload increases, I'm lucky to have people to help me, whether they will help or not, it would've been another story, but I know there are some I can fully count on... you know who you are. =]
But as usual, I won't have to worry, God is always there, even when human fails me. (not saying they will, at least some people)
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you, I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Gratz Andrew (: all the best and ask Ru Yen says, 'no worries, it's all in God's hand' (: (:
congrats to you...yup, great power always follows with greater responsibilities...and as the percy jackson series says, a greater need for naps. Trust me, you'd be so tired...lol.
i'd like to encourage you to constantly have a focus on Who you are working for. As i've said before, we work for a Higher authority, we work for God. So even if you fill you're not equipped (with communcation skills, etc), trust the One who placed you in this position for strength and guidance. Leading has its burdens, but it has its joys as well. Just don't lose your focus and trust in Him=) Don't worry about others who may not cooperate too...just do your best, and i'm sure that in the end, it'd all work out for good.
Oh, and please, continue to be yourself! no one wants a serious, solemn, never-smiling KP. There's a time to be serious, and a time to kick back and have fun. So enjoy yourself, and learn things along the way. We all are rooting for you=)
congrats again! hopefully you will find your new niche helpful in developing your character. Though i hope u would not lose yourself in your KP role by trying to be someone u do not want to be (though at some times it is necessary). Be yourself, though who u really are is still not definable yet, is it?
Thanks people for congratulating me, much appreciated.
@Hannah,
yea probably I'm abit fast in making a conclusion, it's only my second day today... probably a lot more to experience, haven't reach the fun days to kick back and relax. haha. and btw, I still have great faith in God, no worries.
@Chin2,
yea, I really really hope I won't lose myself as in who I used to be and my sanity, maybe it wasn't defined as who I really am, but being my old self is pretty good, stress-free, care-free, who wouldn't want such a lifestyle?
Oh my goodness! I did the resposible vs. victim viewpoint with Ms. Janice during my 5-weeks induction programme too! So now we all have to look at things from the responsible side!
