Back to this topic of flamers. How did people find my blog to flame on? because i have the decency to leave my name, so that comments could be directed to me. Flamers, on the other hand, use the anonymity of the internet to hide their acts of cowardice. Well, since we're on the topic of flamers, and the couple of flamers on my tagboard are from RI, i shall bring this topic more in-depth.
students from higher-end schools, not just RI, think they're so high and mighty, think they're better than those people from neighbourhood schools. well, i'm not sure whether i'm from a neighbourhood school, i have no idea where newtown comes under, but there's one thing i can confirm: neighbourhood schools have balls.
flashback to the connect sg incident at RI. RI were doing their raffles cheer. someone from ngee ann sec heard waffles and went "Huh? Waffles?!", RI SECONDARY ONE BOYS called them childish, and one even went on to reply, "see, neighbourhood school". WHAT IS THAT. and just the other day i saw this RI kid at bishan, holding what appears to be a bloody heavy lollipop, prancing around, while his maid/mom (i couldn't tell) followed closely behind with a bloody huge bag and a file. when i saw that my shoulders ached for the maid/mom.
nevermind other schools. RI. Raffles. The school named after that guy with the black and white statue. are we going to lay our fate in the hands of these so-called future leaders from the higher-end schools like hwachong and RI, if they have an attitude that's like that? I don't know. If any of you people reading this are teachers from such schools, please answer my query: How can you be leaders of a nation that's built up from scratch, when you yourself take everything for granted? How can one lead a nation, when all negative comments are made anonymously? How can a country grow with leaders that do not have enough guts to put down their names and be responsible for their actions?
i don't know. i really don't.

hey sebastain;
as a former councillor, i have seen my share of fails and successes of various organised events, and here's my opinions.
i was rather surprised when you came across to me as a really patriotic teen, a stark contrast to many of us that are sort of disillusioned, so to speak.
however, you should understand that sec1s don't have the maturity of 18 year olds. fresh out of primary school, obviously their minds are still entwined with fun, games, and other paraphernalia. to get them to stand the sweltering heat to them is absolute torture given that they don't really understand the event, much less appreciate its significance.
i hate to do it, but i am afraid the accusing finger has to be directed at you people. it is your responsibility not just to execute the event for the sake of getting it over and done with, but the welfare of all the participants must also be considered. food, drinks, ample shelter, good coordination and proper instructions are keys to letting them be more focused on the event. however, from some blogs i have read, i didnt notice (correct me if i erred). even i myself would not be pleased with the execution if such crucial steps were missed.
sure, these steps seem hard, but it is the cost of doing events on such a large scale. if you cannot do it, then don't do it, unless it was purely for the portfolio mark.
hope to hear from you soon.
