Hi.
Nothing interesting happened today, except maybe for assembly and AMC.
For assembly today, we had a students' forum by the High School Council. Some really unglamorous remarks were made, such as some smart-aleck trying to be funny by asking if he can bring a girl along for batch dinner. When his comment was not accepted, he said something along the lines of "liddat how to end the night with a BANG?", as this phrase was used in the presentation earlier, though not in that sense. Some other guy also made fun of the chairman, as he was not wearing the school badge, mockingly suggesting a "Rent a School Badge" scheme, modelled after one of the chairman's initiative, "Rent a textbook", which eventually failed to materialise after he rose to power.
Aiya, even though we all know that the HSC has been underperforming (as it has always been), and it might be alright to taunt them for awhile, it is really unacceptable to say those kind of things during a formal setting, especially when there are teachers around. Felt really awkward when those people voiced out their opinions. While it is ok to relax abit, we should also know our limits lar, and not try to humiliate other people in front of the whole cohort. Personally, I find that though the council has come up with some interesting proposals, they seriously spend too long doing all those planning work and in the end nothing is really being done in reality. Want to do anything, just be decisive and efficient with it, no need to talk and do so much background work. People cannot see all the behind-the-scenes work you do, they can only see the final result. By the time u finish planning we all go JC already.
Nevertheless I understand that councillors are also students too, having to deal with academic stress as we all do. Just hope that batch dinner will be a successful one.
AMC, came out of the classroom feeling giddy sia. The first question and the last question difference in standards is like..aiya heck care anyway maths ace max le. Chionged to bio olympiad training after that for 2 hours, then went home by myself because yit khai pangseh me.
Tmr bio spa, hope to do well.
NDP coming up in a few days time. Looking forward to seeing the marching as part of the audience.
Random: Found this random pic in my handphone, taken during racial harmony day. Haha looks like a vietnamese protest going on in our school.
We did it, together.*
