This was what my last words were
The perpetual image of Kelvin Goh as an Exco member would be a shivering, stuttering and socially awkward individual who ran for elections looking as though he was fanning a satay grill. The image of him as a Public Relations Officer is one of long, verbose Singsoc Weeklies with complicated and confusing words at the end, a constantly re-invented Singsoc Weekly with Zen in the colour theme, and somewhat boring one at times. But Kelvin’s image of his time over the past year is one of a colourful kaleidoscope. Does he look back at his first year with fondness or regret? He had only one chance to live the life of a university freshman, and he felt that he lived it the best he could bring out from himself. He sought to live the life he wanted to offer, with purpose, with meaning, and in the service of others he saw as much more than as fellow-countrymen. And as slides fall into place as a retrospective, nothing other than beautiful, and mostly happy memories project themselves onto his big-screen. He writes his last words on the last weekly he will ever deliver, with a sense of reflection. On whether he has served a fruitful term as a PRO, on whether he has been the best he could have been, and on whether he has delivered on what others expected of him. The true answer to which he will never know, but can only live in the knowledge that he always gave nothing but his very best, even if it was for others. He once told me this, and I think it is his way of taking his bow from this stage, in these words. “Singsoc runs in my soul, and no matter how things turn out, I will never be far away. “ He started off with Shakespeare, and he thinks it appropriate to end it off with Shakespeare. “Adieu, adieu! Remember me” – Hamlet, Act I Scene V, by William Shakespeare kelvin was inspired at 4:20 PM |
