I have officially taken up the role of VM assistant in GAW VIII.

It was considered a last minute decision, but it was definitely not a rushed or un-thought decision.

After some several explanations about my other commitments and related stuff, I would like to thank the relevant people who decide to believe in me, especially wing. I know they are just concerned if I could cope with juggling with so many commitments at one go. I really appreciate it very much. Since I have accepted the role, I will give my very best until the end. I don't like give people promises that will be broken in the end.

Regarding my commitments, I have really give a deep thought before taking any 1 of them up.

For JJFC, it is about taking up a leadership role of working with 3 lovely helpers. To me, taking up the role of a committee member is just a change in role name, nothing else. I have been doing this since more than 1 year back. I will still be doing the exact same thing as before, just with a new name of a "leader". In fact, I'm very proud of my 3 helpers, because they lighten my workload a lot. I had to do so much with just Ivalyn helping me alone, and Ivalyn was still learning during that period of time. My current task is more of overseeing & answering their doubts when they need me. I could let go & let them do what they are supposed to do. Sometimes I feel bad about being so strict with them. But I guess that is how we have got such a great team! =)

For T.H.E.S, I will be taking up the new role of secretary. Some people may think of it as a "demotion". Afterall, I was the vice-chairperson. However, I don't see it that way at all. It is just a change of in the role I am going to play. In fact, I do not even think of it as a commitment. Over the past year, T.H.E.S truly becomes my passion. Regardless if I am the vice-chairperson, secretary, or just a normal volunteer, I still belong to the big family. If they say they need me, I'll try my best to be there for them. It is not a chore, but something I want to do myself. I can give up on other commitments, but not T.H.E.S. Therefore, before I accepted the VM role in GAW, I think my only request is , as long as it doesn't clash with T.H.E.S, I will give it a serious thought.

For everything, I'm really thankful to have a boss like Jack. I guess I am really very lucky to find such a rare flexible boss who gives me the freedom to be the busy student for who I am. I can be very honest with him with my commitments as my reasons for missing work. That is one of the greatest support that I could get to go ahead with my non-academic commitments without worries. He definitely deserves a better employee than me, but he never gives up on me. For the same reason, even though many people think my job is low-paying, I still continue to stick with my job. It is not about the money, it is about the people you are working for.
