Back from chionging.. after all the flaming lamborghinis and tequila shots and the booming Top40 tracks still ringing between my ears.. I'm now back to this little room in Sheares Hall where the wind blows silently into my room bringing the little bit of peace I need.
I've finally stepped down as Block Head of Block D 0506.
Much as I feel relieved of this post (together with it's many responsibilities) there's a certain tinge of unbearing as handed the 打狗棒 over to Xuanjie. It's already deeply engrained in my mind to be concerned about the block at all times and now to suddenly relinquish all these thoughts and give the next batch free play takes a little getting used to.
It's been a great tour as Block Head. As I mentioned during AGM, it is a journey of ups and downs, disappointments and heartwarming moments. But this past one year will be definitely a fantastic experience that I will always cherish deep within my heart.
Many thanks for all seniors who stood by me and my Block Comm's side, to be there as role models for juniors and just offer help without fail whenever I need it... Of course special mention to who I remember turned up for EVERY block event Meiqiang, Gabe, Dong, Ivan. Even more special mention to Matt, for being there at the early stages of my tour to be there to support me whenever I feel like I'm falling. (He was the one who started the pretty and hamsome cheers and the Block newsletters) For that, Sir Matt, I'm deeply grateful. =)
And of course, to Block Comm 0506.. you all are undeniably the BEST block comm any Block Head could ever ask for. Seriously. The best among the 5 blocks. I can't deny when the other 4 Block Heads keep on telling how lucky I am to have you pple in my comm while they struggle on with theirs. So yeah.. Comm Chair treat will be a good one!
As I was inspired by Jianfa to become Block Head ever since 2 years ago, it became a personal challenge for me to do the same.. to inspire someone to become the next Block Head. Strangely enough, I think I just did.. though that person was from another block hehe. But still it was still heartwarming to hear that someone wanted to fill up this profile coz of how he saw Block D was managed. =)
So as of now I countdown to my final few hours as a resident in Sheares Hall Block D. I will try to come back for IBGs but it's time I spent more time with my family and other friends before flying off in a few weeks time. No words can describe the magnitude of unbearing I have now, and I can almost feel the tears welling up, but deep down beneath the gallows of my heart, I will always be a true ~deeBlocker.
Support Xuanjie, Cailin and their team in the next year to come.
There's much more to Hall life than points, responsibilities, girlfriends and boyfriends. More fundamentally, there's communal living, Block culture, neighbours, lifetime friends.
As always,
I love you all deep deep.
