Later today, probably 4 more hours from now, i will be attending CUSA (Chinese Student Association) Election. I will be running for vice president post and also treasurer as my second choice... It's been a long time since i was last involved in a competitive election... After graduating from HSBP, I only took part in two elections, and i won with a landslide victory.. Once in INTEC where i garnered more votes than the President (should have run for President instead.. ), and once in UChicago, where my challengers actually asked people to vote for me instead of him during his speech.. So, the previous two elections weren't really that competitive..But the one that is going to be held tonight is definitely one of the most competitive one.. I am up running against three other people... All in fact, all three are equally strong contenders... But never did i expect, i am able to stay calm and cool without losing my nerves.. Back in HSBP, i will now start to fret and plan for various strategies to win the election... By saying strategies, i have to admit they include backstabbing, scheming and evil plans... (But again, everyone does that in HSBP la *ehem ehem*) And yes, i was afraid to lose back in HSBP..
However, when i am in Uchicago, this kind of kiasu-ism seems to fade off in me, partly because i no longer have what it takes to be kiasu... I mean, if you wanna be number 1, you need to have the ability mar... But if you dont even have the ability and you try very hard to be number 1, that is not call kiasu, that is called as dreaming.. LOL..
Through this CUSA election too, i saw the evil side of human nature... I saw how scary one can be, or how "clever" one can be in order to win an election... And yes, i don't like that... I bet this was how others felt when they saw me doing the same thing back in HSBP... Scheming, scary, kiasu... Goodness... SORRY SIA TO ANYONE THAT I HAVE HURT DURING THE DAYS WHEN I WAS CRAZY OVER POSTS in HSBP.. HAHAHAHA~
My supervisor just came in( i am working now), and i have to go... Haiy, hopefully everything will turn out fine.. It doesn't matter if i lose, i don't really care... Will i be sad if i lose? Unexpectedly, i will say - NOT AT ALL... :) I guess i have grown a lil to be a young man... Ha ha~
