Contradictory.

I got in. Into council I mean. I must say it was a rather tough fight, and I am rather surprised myself that I actually managed to squeeze in. The whole of Bazang made it in, which was really expected, Yeowch, Wenxi, MC, they all made it. For me, I feel that it was the last question that really changed my 'fate'.

The first two questions were those normal boring ones. They gave me a list of characteristics and told me to choose three which I felt was important, including things like integrity, responsibility and all. The second one was which part of your body can be used to describe the council, and I said the head. That was a really bad answer, I admit.

My third question was much better. Two people (guys, I presume) named diego and Ryo directed a question to be, which is as follows: Being the daughter of the Deputy CEO of HCI, do you feel the pressure to deliver and perform? Would you fear that people will remember you as daugher of Principal instead of Hon Jing Yi?

This was my answer:
"I have a pact with my father. We have agreed that we shall remain Principal and Student in HC. But the stress for me is obviously still there for me to behave properly and not let anyone into thinking that having a father as staff of the school gives me any special privileges as a student, such as being voted into council or anything. However, I am still very much a human, and like all of you people, at least the normal people, I still struggle with homework and school life, so there is really not much of a difference, I believe. For the second part of the question, I must say that no, I do not fear so. My father is definitely a wonderful man, at least to me, but I am amazing in my own ways as well. Thank you."

I'm quite happy there was such a question, so I can clear these questions once and for all to the whole faculty.

But I am in council, I should be glad? I would be. But my two other team members didn't get in. Although I am quite sure they are proud and happy for me, I feel it is rather unfair. We definitely shared the work, and unlike some other groups I might mention where only one of the members did all the work, we shared the work rather equally. Yet, I was the only one who got in. But I guess Weiqi and TingXuan already have the Humanities Research Programme, and we have learnt a lot from this experience, so that is sort of comfort to them, if not at the very least, me.

Thanks, Weiqi and TingXuan. It's been great working with you guys. Thanks for your support!!
