ICE.COLD.COFFEE

Today we had horti exco elections.

I ran for chairperson.

Overall, it went quite smoothly.

I think my speech was quite alright because Ryan told me that it was not bad. That's good!

At least I don't have to worry so much now.

Yong Bin went first, followed by Li Zhe.

After that, I volunteered to go next because I felt that all the stuff I wanted to say was being said by the other members.

I'm scared they think I copy. Haha.

I didn't write out my speech. But I didn't memorise it intentionally as well.

I kept thinking about what to say for my speech the past few days. I was so worried that I would forget so I kept rehearsing wif myself over and over again.

At night, I kept rehearsing my speech. I didn't do it intentionally.

I guess I was just too anxious. I could only sleep when I talked to myself till I felt tired.

But luckily I remembered everything that I wanted to say. Yay!

My speech was about my vision for horti, my past leadership experiences and my character.

For my vision, I said I wanted to make horti a more "happening" cca in Vj by organising more flower sales and more activities for our members.

As for my past leadership experiences, I was honest la.

I said I wasn't a student leader before, but I was very willing to learn and that I would do my best for horti.

Mostly, my speech was about my willingness to serve horti and to learn stuff that I don't know.

And I swear! I really meant everything I said! I don't bluff one you know. Hee.

Melissa and Ryan also ran for chairperson. Melissa's speech was quite interesting, while Ryan's was long.

Ryan really had a lot of ideas for horti and I think he's really an asset to horti because he knows so much and we can learn from him.

Actually I think he would make an excellent chairperson, but during his speech, he was a little arrogant. That kinda scared people off.

The other people's speeches were fine too.

Jia Yan ran for vice chair.

Actually I think she should run for chairperson. She has such a good chance of making it! I asked her to run for chairperson, but she refused. Don't know why.

Anyway, Yong Bin said he was running for chairperson last week. But today he ran for treasurer instead. I think he's capable of becoming chairperson as well. I guess he's too busy.

I really hope that I can become chairperson of horti.

Aniway, after the elections, I realised that all the chairperson candidates wanted to make horti a more happening cca.

Then I realised that I like horti actually because we're such a small cca and so everyone is very close.

If horti really becomes a more popular cca in Vj and more people join, then I think that "close" feeling won't be there anymore.

I like horti because we're all so close and know each other well.

I hate it when the cca becomes so big that we don't even know some people in the same cca!

Right now, I can juz hope for the best.

Hopefully I can become chairperson and make horti a better place!

Looking forward to the results next week.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
