A First Glance at the Elected Student Council Members of 2009
Every building requires a sound foundation. Every tree has its roots. Every table has at least four legs for it to stand. Every car needs its wheels. Every community requires a board of leaders.
In this same way, the student council is the equivalent of the requirement needed to ensure an organized society of students in Taylor’s Sri Hartamas.
If we writers were to merge all the five main committee members into one person, this is what that person would have: drop-dead attractiveness, a super thin physique, oozing confidence, bubbly personality and a large posse of friends.
Your curious-minded writers Sarah Lim and Jia Min went bugging the five people for interviews so that you would get a larger insight into their minds.
1. Why did you choose to be part of the student council?
I’m actually honestly really joining it because of my CV. I like planning events. It helps in my interaction with students, I know lots of people now, compared to last time when I knew nobody.
1. Why did you choose to be part of the student council?
Because this is a new campus and I feel I am capable and dedicated to this task. Taylor’s has a good reputation for its excellence and as part of the student council I wish to ensure that every student’s life in Taylor’s is an unforgettable one.
2. Why was Taylor’s College your choice for Pre-University education?
Taylor’s has proven itself from past achievements. The SAM program is proven and is ideal for my ambitions.
5. What are your biggest fears or phobias?
That I will get involved in a car accident.

3. What is your biggest dream in life?
To buy an island and set up orphanages all around the world. The island would be like a foster home to children.

I was bullied really badly all through primary school. So it makes me more sympathetic towards others.
5. Given a chance, is there a memorable past that you want to relive?
I would like to relive kindergarten when your biggest worry was whether the person next to you would share her crayons with you.
6. What are your biggest fears or phobias?
Not being good enough.

2. What are your expectations for the student council this year?

I want a Lamborghini. (For those of you who don’t know what it is, look at the picture!)
4. How/where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

I brainstorm for ideas in the shower.
