Guilty Pleasure...

Amid looming A- Levels, I still managed to de-stress by

watching ´cÅ]¦b¨­Ãä. As always, the story portrays the unfailing love between an attractive 'devilish' guy falling in love with a sweet, 'angelic' beauty. The same old tale performs its magic. It¡¦s just simply ADDICTIVE¡K

Yet I recall what Mrs. Law told us when we were going through a love poem during our morning poetry groups in form 5 that in real life, it's naive to believe that with love, you are able to change your lover's character. I guess this truly depends on love, mutual understanding and compromise between couples. The change should not be of radical nature, but by accumulation of influence over a long period of time. But come to think of it, even our parents, with their unconditional love, find it difficult to correct our bad habits, I guess Mrs. Law is right after all.

 While this has yet to be justified, the fantasy lives on...

Impossible¡K

     For some, it¡¦s an excuse to say something is far from easy or can¡¦t be achieved today.

     For others, it¡¦s a rallying call to strive harder, to be more visionary and innovative, acknowledging that impossible is just another obstacle on the road of life.

     And once that obstacle has been successfully negotiated, the future stretches ahead of us forever, filled with infinite possibilities.

So it has finally ended¡K after more than 4 months of intense preparation.

  ¡¥Lost Little,

3 years I¡¦ve dedicated myself to HKIMUN¡K

2004- Moderator of Sochum, Assembly Department

2005- Deputy Secretary General

¡¥Is it time to move on?¡¦

 2006 remains undecided¡K

Memories locked in a time bottle ¡K to reminisce and get nostalgic about¡K   

1)    Bombarded by 40+ emails everyday; spending more than an hour to go through them AND spending the equal amount of time ( if not more) in replying numerous enquiries from local and foreign delegates¡K

2)    Central Committee meetings every Saturday from 6:30pm - 11:00 pm + at City U ( and me rushing back home to meet the 11:30pm deadline =P)

3)        Day 0: Central Committee staying up all night at Fu Zhen Center working so hard on registration stuff and ended up watching sun rise together. {CC: It¡¦s been my pleasure to work with you guys. You are all so responsible and eager to strive for the best. Our efficiency is also an asset =P The conference won¡¦t be successful without your dedication. LOVE YOU ALL!!!}

4)  Assembly Department Musical night at the Lecture Theatre¡K William, Dai Lo and Tommy, YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!! You guys sang so well¡K  Never knew William has perfect pitch  * impressed *

5)     Moderators and Group Leaders working so hard during committee sessions¡K you guys are the best!!!! I¡¦m really touched to see many of you striving till the last minute when you were all exhausted¡K staying up late at night for evaluation and preparation for the next day.

6)     To Pooja and Anna: OUR SONGS!!!! hm... we've got Pinky and the Brain, Teletubbies, Westlife, BSB, One in a Million, Disney.... Thanx SO MUCH for being there and putting the smile back onto my face. LOVE you loads!!!!

7)    GL Performance during the International Night!!! The Kung FU show was really great! Now I finally get to see the magic between them.

8)   Many impromptu ( and last minute) speeches for MC script of 1^st Workshop, Final briefing to delegates AND MC script for Closing ceremony (Thanx Dom¡K YOU SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME when I was all alone doing the ppt just 30 minutes before the final briefing to delegates, you were all the while helping out with the flag ceremony¡K anyways, everything was fixed and we made it in the end =D) 

9)  Presentation at Rotary¡¦s Lunch Meeting at Miramar Hotel 

and many more...

Thank you so much to all those who supported me¡K

        Perhaps that incident has wounded her too deeply. All these years of selfless sacrifice has come to a halt. She becomes hesitant, her determination wavered. The feeling of abandonment at her weakest moments by the person she most treasured has brought her to a cruel reality - she cannot rely on her most trusted anymore. The betrayal is a sign of further abandonment. Aging has further brought her anxiety and insecurity.

        The relationship continued. She carried on caring her beloved as usual, yet suspicion has stealthily encroached between them. She would fire accusations of false intentions to her beloved, often causing her beloved to be torn between her and responsibilities that signify nothing. Again and again, her beloved has failed her in keeping even the most minor promises. She sees it as a replication of abandonment.

          Her beloved, guilt ridden of the damages caused in their relationship is engulfed in despair and frustration. She cringes at the very mention of the incident, her conscience slashing her ruthlessly. She has been warned by her elders to handle the problem and her emotions with care, or else it would be a burden too heavy to bear. Her beloved understands that what¡¦s done is done. Time cannot change its course. She secretly vows to do anything in order to amend the relationship¡K

           Actually all she wanted is to be embraced once again by her beloved and to spend more time together. She also wishes that her beloved can learn to manage her life more properly.

           As simple as that.

TO all my HKIMUN 05 buds¡K

     3 more weeks and everything is gonna be over. It is going to be the last year for many of us. Our paths may never cross again, who knows? But all I know is that I cherish EVERY MOMENT with you guys, having meetings that last from day till late at night¡K

Organizing such a huge activity is tiring yet meaningful. Strangely, it is like a summon, calling out to all of us, bringing us back together every summer. Memories are sweet and more are bound to come.

The first workshop has been successfully held (* hm.. I would call it successful, but there is room for further improvement =P)

 Many thanks and a hundred kisses to all OC members¡K

~ Assembly department for their wonderful topic summaries and sim sim;

~ Group Leaders fully performing their crucial role in facilitating the smooth running of the whole workshop;

~ Programming and Multi- media heads for their respective presentations;  

~ Reporters collecting exclusive information from the delegates (* grin *)

Last but not least, HKIMUNA members¡¦ assistance and supervision;

    SG, DSGs for their efforts¡K 

We have only 18 days left before our big event¡K Preparation schedule is very tight.  Add oil to all departments!! You ALL ROCK!!!!!
