This is Aaron speaking for the first time as President of NATO! It is a great honour to receive the mandate from fellow NATOrians, and I hereby pledge on behalf of the new board to be worthy successors of the previous board. With the exception of SK and Yi Qian, who are in charge of their old portfolios, I’m sure that the board members will look forward to their new responsibilities. Will Aaron match president and cofounder Mr Bak? Will Mun Teng better iron lady Tan Yixuan? Will Kien Giap equal sec gen Aaron’s profile writing? All these questions will be answered in the coming term. :)
Its been a while since there were any major changes in the NATO blog. Redang came and went, just like the pioneer board of directors. Rain and Mun Teng’s birthdays were celebrated joyously at Pasta de Gohan (hmm, there doesn’t seem to be a post of that on our blog). However, before the year is up, there will definitely be drastic changes in the membership of NATO, especially those caused by a national service stint (Yoon) and an overseas transfer (SK). Therefore, this is the time to ensure that they will leave with unforgettable memories!
A few events have been proposed in the upcoming NATO calendar. Among these are the Avril Lavigne concert and the TBS Prom Night. Also, there will be a number of birthdays more to celebrate, thus promising many merry occasions more. Another major NATO outing might also be in the works, with South Korea among the proposed destinations… On a similar note, NATOrians can also look forward to the remainder of the NATO profiles, which the ex-sec gen has graciously agreed to carry on for purposes of comparability. :p
Before signing off, I hereby commend the previous board for a good job done and we look forward to new pastures ahead. It must also be emphasised that in spite of the apparently higher positions held by the board members, all NATOrians are in fact equal in standing, and the voices of every member will be equally heard. Therefore, do not refrain from speaking out. Together, let us keep up the spirit of NATO!
Cheers!
Aaron Loo
President (Aug – Nov 2008)
