End of 26th disco?!

It has been a rather weird final farewell to the seniors of disco, considering that it was a bit of a flop. Argh, don't elaborate on that. The main reason why i am here is not to just say a goodbye to the 26th disco but also to talk about the weird feelings that i have over this batch of disco.

You could say that this batch of disco had been the one that had gone thourgh a harder path compared to other batches that i had went through, probably because of a few things.

The leadership position of the 26th disco could be said to be in a continuous state of change and unsatisfaction. We used to have clara being the exco until just before the investiture because of the fact that she decided to go for the through train programme. This eventually led to Yu Jia becoming exco of disco, which all of you had seen in an earlier post the dissatifaction that I have had concerning that. The eventual acceptance after one year and than just a few weeks back, the sudden change in the leadership position once again, this time with Anna taking over.

You could say that this had been a rather turbulent journey for the 26th disco who had to change itself and later on fend for itself when the exco sort of "abandoned" the comm. I am saying this because there was this period of time when sometimes i feel that our comm. is actually running only on one exco and not two.

To say it rather unkindly, it seems a weird feeling when i finally thought out that i might actually be happy about the fact that Yu Jia is not our exco any more, probably because i do not think that she has the right attitude for a disco comm. member... Anna seems to be a better choice after the interactions with her during the sec two team building day. Of course, this change had nothing to do with us and more with the teachers... and i am still trying to understand what had happened so far on the teachers side...

And yet, another part of me wanted to see that Yu Jia is still the exco of our comm. for another year. Switching an experienced disco exco for an inexperienced member from another comm. seems to be too much of a a gamble for many of us. Not to say that Anna would not be able to make it, but its just this feeling that would come along with it.

Many should know that disco comm. had a significant amount of members lost during the election process. In fact, six members did not make it to the 27th disco from the 26th. But i guess you people have already heard enough of me ranting over this so lets just get on with it.
I guess people handle this sort of loss differently, some people treat it as the end of a sentence, where they start their life anew, but still keep in contact with the life they had lost. Others treat it as the end of a book, where they stop even believing that they were once a part of this.

Even though i am still in disco, i feel that, once you have been a disco once, it would stay with you forever. The spirit there, the people there, the enjoyment that you have to just be with them and be frank. To joke over other people and still be friends at the end of the day. This were the things i remembered from the 25th and the 26th. So, it seems weird for some people to just cut off immediately after knowing that they are no longer part of disco.

I think this is just a bit of perspective from my own point of view, but it ain't over yet.

After all this, lets talk about council. We had a sort of very very very "informal" AGM, which i could not really comprehend. Nothing much to comment over it.

Talking about the bad things in life makes the life which is dark even darker, in spite of all this i had written above, there must be some good time in the 26th...

Things like truth and dare session, going out to sentosa with me going there to help them pitch the tent ( which we had not returned yet, keep that in mind), an adrupt lack of my photos because i was running around doing other stuff while they were going outing ( usually aboard). Well, and of course, my first ever biking session at ECP, could never forget that........

Happy memories and the weird feelings that come along when you start reflecting over stuff that had happened....

Oh yah, it was a great feeling to have some of disco at the esplanade shouting the disco song... People were looking at us... Clara was trying to find methods to persuade her mom to let her go to be with the comm. that she had most attachment to...failed in the end, but nevertheless...

I guess there are some things you must let go, and somethings you must remember always.
Goodbye 26th disco, the end marks a new beginning...A hope that it would be a better beginning...
