Wow.
today was some day. hahhaha
but before all of this.. I want to show you what I wanted to say today actually.
Hello fellow Athenians, my name is Ashleen Ngion and my middle name is Athena. Today I just want to share with you what happened to me yesterday. Yesterday I played badminton doubles game. At one particular point of the match, my partner, Alina and I were losing terribly because we were exhausted. So desperate times calls for desperate measures, my big mouth and I announced to the entire court that if my doubles pair did not win this game, I predicted that I would not enter Council. Basically it was just an incentive to play well. Unfortunately we lost that match. I joked that I wasn’t going to get into Council. Suddenly, Alina said to me, “hey let’s play another game.” And I was a bit surprised, but then it occurred to me that she wasn’t ready to give up yet so my big mouth and I announced that if we win this game, the previous bet would not count. It was a tough fight but I was so encouraged by how Alina fought so hard for us.. for me. You see, fellow Athenians, just like how Alina encouraged me, today I ask for you to vote for me, to vote the rest of PEA because I hope that you would play a part to help me reach my Council dream. Harvey Dent from the Dark Knight once said “chance is everything.” But fellow Athenians, I say to you today that he was wrong, because chance isn’t everything, but your vote is.
hahaha I know there's not much a link but thank you Alina! you really made my day yesterday even though my face was too exhausted to show it.
however, eventually I couldn't do this speech because it exceeded by 1 minute! and Kah Loke said that they'll cut us.. which they really did... without any hesitation. So I did some stupid thing... which involved trying to act like I can play guitar, trying to flip the coin and failing to catch it.. basically thoroughly embarrassing myself. oh well.. never mind, the LT sounded like they enjoyed it :( maybe Athenians are sadistic or something. lol and I sang Lydia dedicated to the current cutest guy in the world... LOUIS. omgosh. I win. I don't even know whether his name is spelt this way. I shall upload a picture some other day... Jerome the big pig put it as my phone's wallpaper... not that I mind :D heehee.
