A Better Title

W00t! After a round of voting, I am now known as…

… not the Chairperson of Designers Club!

Neither did Imam get the Vice-Chairperson position.

Maybe I was too tired or too desensitized or just too boh chup, because when I first saw the voting results after reentering the lecture theatre, I didn’t feel anything at all. No joy (over having less work to commit to), no disappointment (over not getting the position). Nothing. Zip. Nada. Just a neutral feeling as if it was just another day in my life.

Of course, after a while, I realised that I was quite happy to see the voting results–I didn’t fare too badly actually, getting about 41% of the votes, considering my efforts on doing a well-prepared speech went down the drain because I was too confident that I could speak well without looking at the piece of paper containing my speech. In fact, I didn’t prepare well at all–I was too busy doing other projects–and hence I stumbled on my own words.

I was satisfied with my own portfolio, although I didn’t show the Flash presentation I did because I didn’t want to take up too much time.

And… Some people actually left before I even gave my speech.
Add to the fact that she (the other nominee for the Chairperson position) had quite a number of friends who came down for the purpose of voting for her, whereas I only had a considerably fewer–thanks Halim, Udo, Henche, Fendi, Ken, Icha, Yongky, Acong, Kristo, and whoever I missed out who came down to support me.

So yeah, I was quite happy already.

Anyway… The main reason why I had tried to be the chairperson was because I wanted the experience. Of course, other reasons exist: I like designing anyway and wanted to give back to the club and because the other vice-chairperson candidate was chio. Who said that one can’t get experience and give back to the club and meet the vice-chairperson by becoming a subcommittee member?

It’s probably partly divine intervention too–I have this feeling that I’m starting to overdrive myself. Not getting the position means that I would be committing to less stuff.

Anyway… I like the word ‘anyway’…

Anyway… I’m pretty sure that the new chairperson and vice-chairperson of Designers Club can run the club well. I saw their portfolio and they were not bad… I myself will still join the club as a sub-committee member. Let’s see how things go from then on!
Oh yeah, I didn’t want to say this actually, but Imam insisted on me doing so, so this is to let everyone know that Imam stole the words in my curriculum vitae, and used it for his own presentation. He also copied my speech.

And… He would also like to join me and once again thank those who came down and supported us. Thank you all.
