Well, just came back from inter-hall games tennis semi finals match in which our team lost and the overall score was 2-3. I have to say that it was a rather close fight. Anyway, after everything was over, my teammates and I, including my other tennis manager, went to the canteen to eat when our sports secretary approached us. He told us that it was a rather close fight although the other hall sports sec said that we should have won. Then.. I saw it..
My other tennis manager cried. Even before we reached the canteen, it was very evident that he was very disappointed. Its as if he was putting all the blame on himself when it really wasnt his fault!! In fact, I really think that most of the blame should be on me since I really did very few things for the team. At that point of time when I saw him cry, I really felt like crying too, but I held back cause cannot xia suay in front of my teammates.
After lunch, he asked if I was going back home cause he stays near me and can go back with me, but I said that I was going straight home and not going back to hall first. Come to think of it, I really should have went back to hall first with them cause I could sense that he needed some sort of company? Or maybe I was thinking too much..
Anyway, my current and ex IVP captains (both from my hall) asked me to consider taking Industrial Orientation (8 weeks during holidays) instead of Industrial Attachment (22 weeks) cause they want me to be the next captain of the IVP team. When I heard that, I really had mixed feelings. Although I was quite happy they chose me, I really don't think that I would be a good captain. Look what I did to the SRJC team..
Okay, honestly, the only reason why I was the SRJC captain was because I was 'significantly' better in tennis than the others. (Sorry to Alene and Yvonne!) My leadership qualities are close to NIL. Like that how to lead a team of players who are equal or better than me in tennis?! How can I convince them to follow my instructions?!
I am just too wishy-washy/indecisive, too lazy, too little passion, and if I were to be forced into that position just like in the case of my hall, I believe I wouldnt put in my utmost effort for the team.
Can someone please tell me a way to reject them..

i dun think u should give up on this golden opportunity. In fact, i'm really envious that u've such ability to make ppl vote u as a captain.
Leadership skills can be nurtured. With sufficient pressure, ur leadership skills will just develop.. Sharifah can tell u more.
Furthermore, when u go for a job, u can proudly tell the employer that u r the tennis captain for SRJC and NTU.. It will definitely benefit u alot in the long run.
Come on! Take this challenge!! Have faith in yourself!
lols!!..i admit i dont play as well as u..dont hav to spell dat out!!..haha
