I have finally, once again experience the pain for not being fair in doing things. It has been awhile since before I came here. After creating this blog for such a long time, of so many posts, this will be the only one that truly reflects how I feel. And I am going to write this regardless of how people used to think. If they want to gossip, they gossip and I, for once do not care for this post. I just want to tell the truth, what I think of this particular issue.
I have a plan, since the start of this semester, that my goal is to join Delta Sigma Pi and MASA Committee. People like me, once given such option, I will kind of exclude all other options because I really want to focus on those. Well, for your knowledge I have failed to rush Delta Sigma Pi this semester. But that is not a problem because I think overall the rush was fair. I did not really presented myself well I guess.
As for MASA election, the world of unfairness and realistic had finally took place. I have anticipated there might be certain unfairness took place, however, I never knew it will stretch to this extent. I was running for the Vice President Internal and I knew who was my strongest competitor. The election was today, Thursday. I had 2 important midterm on the day before and the day itself. I had been busy studying for these 2 subjects since last week. Every time when I was studying, I keep thinking of the speech, what should I say, plans and stuff, I just could not study nicely due to that matter.
During the election, the time for each speech had been shortened as time was the major constraint. My main competitor had 2 chances to speak, in fact I guess more than 2 whereby I had only 1 chance. He ran for 2 positions, one same as mine and the other was vice president external. For his first speech as VP external, he had explained himself of why is he suitable for this position, also at the end, he mentioned that he wanted to run only for VP internal. In his second round, which is the speech of VP internal, he got to explain about his plans for MASA. Not only that, right after that for Q&A session, he had someone to ask him about his plans so that he can further explain and impress the crowd. Ridiculously, one of his plans was setting a mamak night. Everyone there knows that it is something that I always do in every semester. The Mamak Night is something that I organized in order to gather around and socialize, ultimately of course to foster relationship among me and most of the MASA members. I pay all the materials alone, cooking at GK kitchen with some help from others, without even of thinking of getting anything from the people. This of course is one of my plans which I did not get to mention.
My speech was less than one minute. I did not get the chance for Q&A because no one wanted to ask me questions. I think out of all people, I am the only one that is not being asked questions due the time constraint (I am one of the very last person). Great! My chance had just gone like that even though I do not know about the results yet, my probability of getting it is near zero. I did not get to explain my plans for MASA, I did not get to elaborate on my points (which each of the points I had put a critical thought in it). Everything just ruined like that.
I do not deny that this great person is really ambitious. He has his plans, of course, that is up to individual and I shall comment nothing. However, he has a position in ISA, yet running for one of the VP for Delta Sigma Pi, also he wanted to run for this position as VP Internal. Well, why doesn't he give a chance to other people? Isn't that unfair? My dream and future plans and goal just ruined by his attitude of wanting more. I will no longer have the chance to serve MASA as a committee since I am only running for this position.
I have my plans for MASA which will definitely be beneficial to all of its members. I have attended every single activity of MASA. I am approachable in the sense that I am mix with all juniors and seniors. I greatly emphasize on my socializing skills as I am a marketing major because that is essential to me. I am a perfectionist which I care about a lot of small issues such as punctuality; this personality of mine definitely make everything smooth for the President I served. I have professional development training every single week, my employer is the trainer of course. I have organized an inter-college basketball tournament which I am familiar with all of the paper work, in depth. From that, I learned the importance of working and collaborating among members (which is further enhanced by my working experience here in the Untied States). I am not an acturial science major so I do not have any professional papers to take; this would mean that I have more time than any of the members. I am more than hardworking than most of the people here could possibly imagine (apparently only my housemates know about it); my attitude to strive for successfulness had brought me to where I am now, and continuing to move forwards. Everything here, just could not be applicable anymore...
Another funny thing was that, I asked one of my friend to go for the election to give me some support. Before that, this friend of mine should be consider quite close with me. I have consult her in almost everything, I spent a lot of my time (seriously a lot, that is whenever she needed my help) on helping her out in her stuff. I cooked for her birthday and made it a day for her. But yet, in the election, she purposely vote for my competitor (well, I seriously don't know what she is thinking). This is the huge lesson that I learned. This election does really opened up my eyes and making me tougher.
There are so many cheaters going on in this world, yet I am not able to cope up with them. This training allowed me to be more cunning. I finally have a very good reason to kick this friend out of my list. I can tell you that, she is not a good friend but she is someone who always know how to make use of other people. If you are nothing, you will not be her close friends. She wanted to be my close friend because she knows she can learn a lot from me. (as my stupidity willingly spend time to talk to her). **This will be further explained by the next post**
In the end, thank you MASA election. I will not be as stupid anymore. Next MASA committee will be missing out a person like me. Now it does not matter anymore...
