Back once again. And again, life has been kinda empty the last few days. Seriously, nothing much to talk about.
Just had CCA handover today, or yesterday, seeing as it's midnight in Singapore now. Handover's been a rather big surprise for me...and a real challenge.
To tell the truth, when I was interviewed for my CCA position, one question that I nearly couldn't answer was as follows:
"What position would you prefer in Robotics?"
What position? I don't know. Everyone knows, everyone thinks I wanna be vice-chairperson. I just wanna be that guy who sits behind the scenes and runs the CCA without credit. I want to be away from the stress of speeches, of being responsible. There was a time that even I thought so. But sometimes, just sometimes, I let myself be selfish and think of the advantages of being the guy in charge, that one person responsible for Robotics. I guess it's an ambitious side of me I never really thought of. The main question had been: was I capable enough? Will this help the CCA?
I guess it was a no.
Being treasurer isn't exactly a bad thing, but sometimes, I just think of how nice it would have been to be able to proudly say that I'm in charge, Robotics is under my care. It's selfish, but after so long of living as wallpaper, I guess it's hard not to feel so.
From the CCA point of view, however, having me do everything backstage has advantages I guess. I never was good enough to lead, never charismatic enough to speak, and never influential enough. I never really had anything to my credit I was proud of. But perhaps, that was my only weakness.
Don't get me wrong, I'll still do my duties as a member of exco. I can't say I'm most enthusiastic about it, but I will get the job done.
In this little world we live in now, it's the minority which makes an impact, actually make a diference. The majority are everyday constants, people who are just there because. I guess I've never accepted myself as the latter.
I don't know if I should be relieved or discontent.
