Editor (ET): First, how do
you feel as a Vice-President of T.A.S?
Serina Lee (SL): I feel honoured of course and very surprised initially when I first found
that I got the position. I'm the quiet one in the last councilsh ip and I dun have much
achievements to speak of, so I never expect to be chosen as one of the TM (Top
Management), much less the vice-president. Sometimes i feel quite lost and uncomfortable
holding this post. I always think that I can be a very good follower but not a
leader.however I hope I can make use of this chance to proof myself wrong by carrying out
the duties of a VP to my best abilities.ET: What are the aims you have as a
VP?
SL: To maintain the
discipline of the club (err...but I think I am too soft-hearted at times..hehe) and to
handle the internal affairs of the club. Ensure that everyone is living in harmony and not
plotting to 'kill' anybody. Also to assist the president with club's activities and of
course to help out with the councils whenever they need help.
ET: What are the changes you faced after being a PRO for a year and turning
into a VP?
SL: As a PRO, I
was constantly in contact with the members and enjoy a rather comfortable relationship
with them. However as a VP the members seems to be awe of me and at times keep their
distance...have the feeling that i am scaring them off at times. Also as the PRO I was
busy most of the time, brainstorming for activities and undertaking them as well but after
becoming a VP I don't get that chance and actually feel lost at times when I realised that
I have no more activites to organise.
ET: What are the greatest difference being a PRO and a VP?
SL: Not organising
activities for the members. Still have the urge at times to take over the Thursday
activities...hehe miss the times when 3 of us (PROs) sit down to
talk/argue/quarrel/joke/discuss the next activity and the excitement of waiting for the
members to come and freaking out when the members are missing at 5.30pm (because they are
always late! Give me a scare everytime...sigh)
ET: What are the things you like the do most now as a VP but you can't as a
PRO?
SL: Err...I
still prefer the work of a PRO...but at least as a VP now people tend to listen to me
more??
ET: Do you prefer to be a PRO or VP? If not, what post do you like best?
SL: The
truth???.....PRO...I also rather like the post of welfare officer since I am doing it now
as well. Its quite exciting and fun racking the brains to think of something to get for
each council. And of course, I like the shopping ...
ET: Closing words?
SL: Not very good in
this area but TAS RULES!!!! Hahaha, work hard everybody and keep the flag of TAS flying
high! I know its tough at times but as the saying goes: when the going gets tough, the
tough gets going!
