Finally,after 3 gruelling years .. I've stepped down as president for Sp cylists club.
Hmm, since like just yesterday i supposed, that Wen jie passed the baton to me. It all started with me and soon ning. The both of us were young and green fresh men then, didn't know what to do, and we kinda , re built the club from scratch. We struggled with our membership intake then as the fresh men's attendance saw only a few and the only more enthusiastic was me and soon ning. Soon, ivan came along.
Ivan was a year 2 then , thus , he was kinda senior and all but he joined us because he grew tired of the canoeist club.Ivan was a passionate guy full of ideas . He was one of the pillars of support Sp cyclists had then. Ideally known as the uncle teo, he was the one who re structured our annual round island cycling expedition to make it more easier participants. He came out with the mini round island cycling expeditions and seriously, he did a very fine job teaching us how to maintain the bikes and maintaining them for us. He's the man.
Then came my Zhi hong and wei long. The both of them wanted to join the club , and yes, they had a hard time getting to us, me and soon ning. Its so hard to open the club 24/5 with only the two of us holding the keys. Zhi hong and wei long soon became very enthusiastic with the club activities, both of them became part of the team that I was in to rebuild our club. Zhi hong a.k.a the quartermaster and wei long, publications.
At about the same time , Zhi jian and ernest joined the gang. I supposed i can call them my handy man and the trio of us form the brain of SP cyclists. Events, ideas,meetings all , Fo events , we've been through all the thick thin. Those late evenings staying back in school to discuss the next events , the sacrifice we made, to see the club running fine now, i guess it worth it.
I would like to give credit to Alicia Zee too. She's my student officer back then, and she is damn hot. Even though she looks old and all, woots, do anything stupid and feel her wrath. Alicia Zee acted like a guide for us , since our seniors couldn't have time to teach us on the rules and all,Alicia was our only source of information , if you've watched matrix.. she is like the oracle.
Last but not least, i'ld thank the president mentor... Yi mian, the cocker, the fucker , the team builder. He is one of our seniors actually, exiled by the rest before , stripped from President to nothing less.. he came back to aid us in our plight. He is like the god father ~
2006 saw the fruit of our hard work, the freshmen. We we're gifted with plenty of year 1 signing up for the club. Our Club fund saw a significant boost . Adding on to that , we collaborated with SPyfc for the p.ubin ride which helped us foster inter club relationship with their members and as well as the SPA. The end of 2006 saw Sp cyclists running vibrantly as a club ...
Now , after hearing promises lay down by the new president and committee members, i'ld realise that hmm, thats the end of the road for us, me. Running the club for me was like walking bare footed in a jungle trail, pain staking , with a strong instinct for survival. Friends asked me why continue, i think , I can't find words to explain this feeling , but hmm, after looking at the road i took way back and the current position i'm at now, I think its worth it.
