Election Day

Today is Wednesday.
Election for head prefect's on Friday.
And things are not looking good.

The 4 Candidates are Teck Eng(F4), Teck Kuan(F4), Praveen(F4) and Adi(F3).
As a Form 4 prefect, i'll definitely go for one of the Form 4 Candidates.
But sad thing is, Mr.Form 3 has supporters. Really active supporters. And in sense of capabilities, no one is more capable then the two Tecks and in sense of activeness, no one is as active as Praveen.However, in sense of making many friends, Adi has it. Which is very very little required by a Head compared to responsibilty maybe? With Adi natural talent for making many friends, this can really proves to be essential as friends definitely will vote for each other. And therefore, Adi gets votes. Adi is Form 3, which also means he will be sitting for his PMR examinations this year and therefore resting as a prefect very soon. A head, resting? This is extremely weird. Anyway, No one in the prefect board right now keeps discipline better than the Tecks. N Adi? I'm not criticising him or whatsoever. I don't do that. It's just that, realistically speaking, if adi is qualified to be a head, half or maybe 3 quarter of the prefect board is.

Adi is a great guy, extremely friendly, funny, cheerful, bubbly and happy. I really got to know him in the prefect's camp and he is really a genuine boy. Just I think what is extremely important in any big organizations or board such as the prefectorial board.. But really, not a head prefect material.

Maybe then that's why Adi got to be one of the candidates. The candidates are chosen by the prefects themselves, one by one..enters a room .. write a name on the parchment or just a small piece of paper and put it into a cup. That afternoon, I was not surprised at all when the twins were the prefect's choice then i heard Praveen~ but after that I heard adi too. I really had no comments then but at the same time i was not really worried. But as the candidates were introduced, Adi had an extremely loud cheer but there were only Boos to the other candidates. Immatured ppl. Does not matter now, but it's essential as they do cast their votes.

My next post will probably be the results. I really hope the students really think this time. Who is really capable of doing their job. Everyone knows Adi is much more lenient, less strict.It's obvious that ppl will vote for him cause he's less strict. Very much less than the previous head prefects. But in the long run, is that good? Our already improving discipline may go down. And he's form 3. I don't see how he will be able to do a job better than a Form 4 can.

To help ppl that are still blur on who to vote,I have written honest things, read this :-

Candidates:-

Teck Eng - Responsible, matured and can think in many aspects. He does not only do his job without thinking first and is also a good person to talk to. He also has a good relationship with many ppl out there. In other words, he's the People's Head Prefect. Can really enforce rules strictly if he wants to but at the same time, he keeps ppl liking him as there's still this cheerful side of him that can never fades off. Conversable, meaning can be talked to and he can listen and put words said into thought and consideration. In sense of capabilities, i give him a 8/10. and the 2 missing points, can and will be there when he gets more experience as a head.
**edit** IF you choose to vote for Teck Eng, please cast ur votes to Praveen instead. Teck Eng gives his fullest support to Praveen. This is requested by T.Eng himself.

Teck Kuan - Very responsible, matured too and carries out duty extremely well. He does not tolerate with any nonsense and therefore, makes a very good prefect. Being that, he is not the ppl's favourite choice. But this basically shows that he does his work well. Unlike people who let the students go freely. Students that are often caught by Kuan really have to think this time.. who's more capable of holding the post of head. Someone who lets ppl go or catch you if you are doing something wrong. One of the most capable and responsible prefect.Being an active student in sports, he also understands the need for the balance of academics and curriculum activities such as sports.He has proven that he is a good prefect. And now, he just have to prove to the students that he is a good head as well. And i believe, he can.

Praveen - Honestly a suprise man in the top 4 but nevertheless, there's nothing wrong with him being in the top 4. Having a reputation of being too playful, Praveen still does his job well when he is required to. And as a head, he will be required to almost the whole time. Therefore, you can really expect a good job from him. Being an active sportsman who does many sports, he certainly can relate to students who find the hours of such activities are too little. This also means he is fit and very active in school. Praveen is someone who I can see does not look the kind where a head prefect might look like, but inside, he really will try all the best if he's chosen. You can expect a friendlier school environment with discipline still being upheld. Good choice.

Adi - Humble guy. Also extremly friendly, cheerful, fun to be with , bubbly and happy. Whoever that sees him have no choice but to smile. He's really a nice guy to be with and also a good friend. I don't think he'll do anything wrong if he's a head but at the same time, he's young. It will be quite improper as the older seniors will not give him face or listen to him that much. He would also be facing his PMR examinations this year which also means it would be extremely hard to balance the job he needs to do. I actually don't mind him being the head as he will give a new look to the school but definitely not this year. Give him a year or 2 and i can assure a great job done from him. For this year, maybe too early, but nevertheless, a chance has to be given.

*edit* it's all mine personal comments along with some of my friends' :/ no bad criticism intended. all's still great and good! :)
