April's fool joke (Part 2)

I could not stand it, the urge for me to write this is overwhelming.

The SC nomination list is finally out after being delayed for a week. As I am the kind of people who usually heck care this sort of things, I naturally placed this right at the back of my mind and attended to other matters which I believed is significantly more important.

It was not until after school dismissal that I went and took a good look at the list. It turns out that i just found the joke of the week. For those of you whom had heard me rambling along about this would understand the irony of the situation here.

If you have been in the school for at least a year, you would know that the SC nomination were essentially the popular people and not the people who make unpopular decision in order for the greater good. Those who simply were able to make great friendships were usually the ones who get in. Sure, the principal says that we should consider our vote wisely and not just give it to our friends who might not be good leaders, but who do you think would listen?

Anyhow, the ironic part is of this. Last year, Lim Seok Hui and Winnie Lee Ying Ying were voted out of the SC due to a lack of votes. For Winnie, i think the situation is quite apparent as i am in the same class as her. The point is that the both of them were unable to stay in the SC as they lost quite a lot of popularity though their work. Well, for SH, i learnt that basically her entire class had hated her. Since she has been able to come back on to the nomination list, she must be more popular with her classmates now then...

Anyhow, that was the first irony, that support is recreated though a series of unfortunate events...

Secondly, the nomination ticket sepcifically states that nominees should have an L1R5 of at least 20. Well, thanks to a bunch of friends who are very efficient at getting information, they had compiled a lits of nominees with L1R5 more than 20. Sure, Fairness for everyone.

Well, this once again goes to show that popularity will get you somewhere in the SC. So the real question to ask now is, are we really picking the right people to be our leaders, to represent the school and also whether you would accept his leadership. As far as i can see, there was only that few influential leaders, others were well... average.

Finally, seems i am on the topic, I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences to Jin Liang, who has became the next seok hui as he has not been able to be nominated for another term of office in the SC. Jinliang has brought a good amount of life into SC and has also given us valuable insights. For that, i would like to thanks him and also for being a good friends during the time that we had met.

The saddest thing in everyone's life is when things don't work out the way you want, but maybe you could overcome it.
