Many things have happened. I strongly believe that at least half of the school population have heard EVERYTHING.. Walls have ears and people have mouths. I can't possibly seal every single mouth with a zip and make sure every single place has sound proof walls. Nothing would spread if I hadn't made my decisions on things.For those who I have really hurt:I deeply apologise for my actions, it was just a sudden thought out of my head. And I truly believe that it is my fault that I did neglect about those who has various health needs. PLEASE PLEASE do inform me, at least I would remember and not neglect.For the rest:I believe that I have pushed you all too much and basically that was your limit. I am also truly sorry that I as a leader, forgot about your emotional and physical needs/limits. I will definitely reflect on that point. I hope you all will forgive for my actions. People do make mistakes. I know I've made alot of mistakes. But I am willing to change. Give me time. It is not that easy. I will rmb my past actions. But I will not brood on it. I will have to move on and learn, or else I would be hiding away and that is irresponsible. For those who are able to forgive, I appreciate it alot. For those that needs time, I understand and I will definitely give you time.However, on that note. I would like to clearly state my point. I believe that those punishments were not unreasonable.[I believe many disagree about this] However, I believe that only my execution was wrong. I did not adapt to how you all feel at that time, maybe because one thing about me is that I do preserver hard, very very hard. I applied myself to all of you and think that you all would also do the same thing and that is preserver till the end. I was proofed wrong, no one is the same in this world. Elaborating on the punishments not being wrong. I believed I did warned 4-5 times for past few weeks that I really really do not allow over taking and walking? I merely did not emphasis it every run. I know some of you could not really withstand that much of physical training. Slowing down was the only solution to resolve the issue so that we could still run/jog but at the same time accommodating each others weakness so that we could proceed together as a choir. But few could not understand that. I believe it is my fault for not explaining every thing well enough. Everything was just happening too fast and quick that my immediate reactions were always inapproriate for the situation. I admit I am not a super person that could make both a good and quick decision. Some of you could just come to me and tell me the problem[esp those that I really do trust], 1 brain will always have the worst ideas and that proofed correct in many situation. On the other hand, some of you did understood and told me to slow down as people were not catching up. Thank you for telling me that and I deeply appreciate what you have done so that we could run together as a team. And I am sorry if I did not really slow down to what you all may think is more appropriate. Some did tell the people to not overtake, I am very thankful for that kind reminder to your friends. Many of you could have learnt from these people and things would have been avoided.I believe in all situation there is always 2 sides. There would be no friction in anything if there is only 1 willing party. Only when 2 sides are going against each other then friction would have occured. Wear and tear would be prevented if one side could release more and I believe that side was me and I should have acted according to the situation.To conclude, I really would hope that everybody could understand where I was coming from even though the execution was really bad and I will learn from that mistake. I will stay strong to my principles and rules unless it is really wrong.To my dearest AMKSS CHOIR 08-09 batch,
