Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

I like what Asiyah said in her blog. Although it was in a way, a little of equivocation. But it's true. And so is what Jing said in the email.
I guess I've already bared my heart out to you Fianza through email letters. Somehow, I don't get any replies regarding them, but it's ok as long as you get what I'm trying to say.
I know it's hard, and our batch has been so near to breaking up so many times, we barely survived. But here we are, making it through the storm to become Sec. 4s 2005. It is truly heartening to chart our growth along the journey in RGSPB; it has taught and given me so much. I don't want you guys to give up. We've been through so much and it just makes you a failure if you decide to throw in the towel, when you know you can give so much more. Yes, it's noble to know when to let go, but it's just unforgivable to think someone else has got your butt covered and leave the work to MOS and the EXCO. It's not fair. You know it. Like Jing said: get involved. I guess I must learn too to not judge by my batchmates' attendance at functions and their presence in the room, but it really goes to show how committed you are to the board.
When you really love something, you'll sacrifice things that are important to you for it. I don't expect a reward for serving the school; it's just something I do out of passion. What the school has given me (opportunities to learn, experience, exposure), I cannot repay. But the one thing I can do is to give my time and effort in doing stuff that no one wants to do. I've heard someone say that being a prefect sounds real pro, but in actual fact you're the one cleaning the toilets after everyone else. I don't agree. The nature of the work may resemble that but it's all in your perception and attitude towards your responsibility as a prefect. Have you forgotten what you have pledged to do in saying the prefects' creed on just PI this year? To uphold the name of the school, in doing our duties with integrity? The legacy of the board lies in our hands today. We have two choices: either to just slack our way through 2005 since Fiel will be doing all the work, or get off our butts and make a lasting impact in improving our board, actually LIVING OUT what being a prefect means. Show me that you deserve a place in the board, in our batch. Because I can't take people who can't be bothered anymore.
I leave you a legacy
A golden treasury
My hopes and visions
I leave to you
The long and winding road goes on
If I fall behind, please carry on
I will
keep the faith in you
Be brave.
and I love you
Fianza. I always will.
