PRS

after being with PRS since form 1, the list of ajk's next year was finally announced. brought back nice memories of me when i first joined PRS and also all the activities which were held. i remember when i was in form 1, PRS was considered a popular club ( still is now), a whole bunch of us went for the interview to become a member. on the day the list was announced, i remember smilling at basically everybody when i saw my name there. not many passed the interview, in my class, less than 3 passed. then, it was the probation period. meetings, teachers' day singing....this time, less than 5 person in the same floor as i'm in managed to pass. i still remember seing ivy sniffing with a broom in her hands next class when i passed by. curious, i asked, she told me the list of PRS members who passed the probation period was out...less than 30 was on the list. worried, i rushed to see the list. no words could describe how relieved and proud i felt when i saw my name on the paper.

then, there was 'orentasi' in the beginning of the year, hari kerjaya and also singing for teachers' day as the major PRS activities participated by the form 2's. it was during that orentasi that i learn how to sing the lagu sekolah....why? cause WE, the form 2's had to teach the newcomers how to sing the lagu sekolah....( i dont blame them if they still can't sing it, cause i didn't know how to sig it too == )

form 3 was slightly more relaxing. form 3's were in charge of being group leaders, penolong, and also the secretary for that group during kursus tahunan. i missed that event cause i was in thailand, but i helped out every other way i knew.

this year, events that form 4's last year didn't organise was organised by us. example, hari PRS, the day where we invite PRS from other schools to gather around. and also, from this year onwards, form 4's have to help with the hari kerjaya.....which i thought was organised yearly by the form 2's? anyway, it was fun, so i basically didn't mind. but, gosh, kursus tahunan was tough. so many things to prepare, our brains were squeezed to the last bit, thinking of the games to play. then there was also majlis perpisahan, for the form 5's. it was an event we had to cover with a very limited budget. i think they ( those who buys the presents as well as the ones who ordered the food and set up everything to look like a real high class buffet ) did an extreamly good job, even the form 5's complimented this as thier best meal in thier years of attending majlis perpisahan. after everything was nearly over, it was time for the form 5's to anounce the next ajk's.

3 by 3, we were called out. some were called out twice. all the 3 called out were blindfolded with a water balloon on his/her head. the ajk will then poke the balloon of the chosen ajk. water will then be splashed from first floor to the lucky one.

at that moment, i could tell for sure, a small part of everybody wanted a post, but it was rather limited. most of us, including me, joined this club for fun in the beginning, but as the conflicts thickens with the work load, everyone would, consciously or unconsciously want something in return. kl, my very confident friend, was called out for the first post. i know her well enough to know she was rather disappointed and was hopping that she wont get that particular post, cause she was eying another higher post.

as expected, she didn't get that post, though she didn't show any expression, it was obvious she was smiling to herself. she was called out the second time, for ajk discipline. she got that one, though she eyed for something higher, she looked satisfied. good too, cause she's rather scary when she's fierce.

i got called out too. the first time, i din't know what to think, cause i wasn't sure if this was what i wanted.....suddenly, i heard water splashing, but it wasn't on me. i really didn't know whether to be relieved or upset....i wasn't even sure if i'll GET another chance to go out anymore. then, as the number of posts lessens, tension increases, people were getting worried.....it was down to the second last post.....and i was called out for the second time. this time, i knew, if i don't get this post, i'm not getting anything. now to think about it, why am i so unconsciously wanting this post? i guess, in a way, i wanted to have a place where i can train my social skills as well as to expose and train myself to more challenges.

so when my balloon burst, and water was poured till my shirt was dripping, i stood at the same place, stunned. then, i rushed on stage with an annoying grin on my face. if possible, i'd like to erase that grin off my face, it must made me look so show-off....but at that time, i was so happy, i didn't care.

when i got my golden badge, with my name there, that feeling, was priceless. i took the badge back with me to my chair and stared at it......

i am now the next naib pengerusi 1 for year 2009.

to think about it, it was rather a surprise. during the individual interview, which i had to go for twice, ( == ) they asked me if i wanted a post, so of course, i said yes. then, they asked me which post i wanted, know what i told them? i told them, that when i looked at the ajk list, i did not see any post that made my heart scream " i WANT that post!!!" so if u guys think there's a suitable 1 for me, i'll take it and work my best on it. i mean, if i want to go for a post, i'll usually go big, probably the first few post on the list, but i didn't DARE to dream big. wanting something and dreaming about something is really different. one might leave u in regret, and the other might just leave u in pain and swearing u wont try it again.

so now, i'm just glad and thankful to the ex-form 5's and teachers in charge who gave me this chance to TRY and dream big though i'm not very confident with myself. i'll definately try my best to bring PRS SMKSS to it's peak, like 2 years ago when i was in form 2. ( gosh, why am i sounding like I'M the pengerusi? == )

before going 2046 with friends after clearing up that day, the current naib pengerusi made an appointment with me to meet up with her so she can explain all my duties next year. though i think it'll be tiring, it's gonna be worth it.


PS, po chi was SO shocked i got naib pengerusi she joked that PRS wont be able to get champion for pameran this year ( >.< ) so we made a deal that if PRS DO get champion, she'll belanja me mcdonalds........ngek, ngek, ngek, i'll make sure we stay as champion next year.
