Backstab
If you are a fellow councillor from the 33rd Hwa Chong Students’ Council, thisentry is meant for you.
I was backstabbed for the second time in my life!
The first happened to me when I was in Sec 2. Do not ask me what happened then for I refuse to say. If you already know, then you know it; if you don’t, then you shall never know.
In any case, I’ve learnt from my Sec 2 lesson that those who backstabbed you are usually the ones who put on a mask in front of you and puts on another mask when you are not around.
Hypocrites, they are.
Same goes for the person who backstabbed me this year – hypocrite, coward, an asshole with no balls.
(Actually this backstabbing took place on July 19th, and it was right on the top of my blogging priority list. However, somehow procrastination and the frenzy of events that took place soon after the incident slowly drowned the hype that I had furiously created after learning that I’ve been backstabbed. And thus the plan for this entry slips behind a pile of never-ending assignments that have tight deadlines for me to meet. I only remembered this incident when I was bathing. Like, suddenly, out of the blue, out of nowhere, my backstabbed incident flashed across my mind.)
On July 19th, there were two major sporting events, namely the finals for Judo A’ Division Boys and Girls, as well as finals for Track and Field A’ Division Boys and Girls. Being a student councillor, one of our duties is to head down for as many sporting events as possible, especially for the Finals, to cheer for our athletes and give them encouragement so that they can bring glory back to the school, perhaps by hauling some medals from the competition.
As usual, being the Council’s Cheer I/C, I was in charge of assigning councilors to head for different events since both events take place simultaneously at opposite ends of this island nation (Allison is my other Cheer I/C, but she’s busy with the Asian Youth leader Summit (AYLS), so I decided not to bother her).
A new system was devised to assign councillors to the venues, that is, they get to choose which event they would like to go for and submit their preference to me before a certain deadline, based on a “first-come first-serve”-“while stocks last” basis. As all the slots for Judo Finals were filled up before the deadline, the “late-comers” have no choice but to go for Track and Field Finals.
At 7A.M.on D-Day, I gave a briefing to all councillors on the duties that they are supposed to carry out during the competition. A certain deputy Faculty Head approached me to negotiate for a change in the assigned competition venue for himself and the Faculty Head. Both the Faculty and Deputy Faculty Head were initially assigned to Track and Field Finals. However, since they have “some faculty stuff” at about 3 P.M. and they have to rush back to school. Since the Judo Finals is held at a closer location to the school and ends way earlier than Track and Field Finals, they requested to be assigned to go to Judo Finals instead.
Fair enough. That was indeed a valid reason. I granted their request. However, I did not assign anyone else to replace them to go for Track and Field because all the others already “have a place to go” and it would be unfair to assign those who signed up to go for Judo finals to go for Track Finals instead because these people have met the deadline of indicating to me their preference.
According to my “reliable source”, on the bus she overheard a phone conversation between this Faculty Head and Allison, who was in charge of cheerings at the Track and Field Finals. This Faculty Head and Allison are very close friends, and apparently, Allison is unhappy about the fact that this Faculty Head decided to “pang-seh (meaning something to the extent of breaking your promise) her and went for Judo Finals instead.
To make matter worse, due to some miscommunication with my Committee Head who gave me a list of people involved in AYLS who are supposedly free to go for these two cheering events, these people were assigned to go for Track and Field finals but they never turned up. In the end, only a pathetic number of 13 student councillors were at Choa Chu Kang Stadium cheering for the Track and Field athletes.
WHAT THE FUCK?
Through this, I’ve learnt that when you are in charge, NEVER, EVER GIVE A DAMN about your peers’, colleagues’ or working partners’ welfare. It simply doesn’t pay for you to be understanding of their needs and put yourself in their shoes.
People are simply UNAPPRECIATIVE.
Remember: When you are in charge, NEVER, EVER GIVE A DAMN ABOUT OTHERS.

“XXX!!! WHY DIDN’T YOU COME FOR TRACK AND FIELD CHEERING?!?!?!? THERE ARE SO FEW COUNCILLORS HERE AND MANY OF THEM ARE NOT COOPERATIVE!!!!!”
“Don’t blame me! Not my fault, what! You want to blame, blame Terence lah! He’s the one who allowed us to change venues…”
