Haha yeah yeah!! I am the one to enter the 100th post in!!! Surprising ain't it? Was a meagre 20 odd post before shui yong revived it, and we have quadrapled the number to reach the current number of posts. Well keep it up, I hope to see this trend carrying on even after we part from each other.
Last night's "ordeal" nearly costs me my sleep and my heart...haha you can ask shui yong how worried I was... But I am glad today turned out rather ok, we had a little conference between the sexes early on before assembly. I would say this is UNPRECEDENTED! We have never talked with each other before the assembly starts, even if we do, it is only pockets of words here and there. But today it was different. The people who were concerned were roped in and we all understood how each other felt. Then Val and one anonymous person...cant make out really who is it...posted during the 1 hour break we had. Heartening, considering this was the first time Val and Jameson actually contributed to the blog in terms of posts.
To tell you frankly, I was simply at a loss for words yesterday. I could not explain my feelings in words, and could not fanthom why some people will actually have such impressions of others in the class...well, after much thought, I have decided to pen (or rather blog) it here..so that everyone knows another side....
Rest assured, this is my true thoughts, no sides taken, and I will not protect anyone when I say this. And I will not critisize anyone...
I felt that on this blog, there should never be such nasty comments and wild accusations flying around. I emphathize with both sides; the aggressors, as well as the victims. I know that the aggressors are not happy with some things, and would like to voice it out, albeit not directly to the person. The victims, I know many of these are largely inflated and exaggerated comments, so you tend to feel angry. To tell you the truth, I was quite disappointed at those who posted these comments. Yes, the so called harmony in class seems like a facade to many, but it does not warrant such lamblasting of the people. I will not even protect my buddy zhi yan from this. Everyone has his/her opinion. Of course you are entitled to voice it out, freedom of speech. But you should not toe the line...but you all did. Unhappy about something, please...just tell the person directly. Like what Hui Ling some times tells me or ee kent. And for your info, Hui Ling DOES visit this blog, she claimed at least 3 times, so I take it to be true. It is just the sad thing about humans. Once we form an impression of someone, it is never easily altered. To many, it may seem harmless comments, but have you all considered how much power and weight your words carry? I dun need to use chim chim words...simple words but with hidden and powerful meanings inside, and the intended target feels it. That is my personal opinion. Of course its OUR blog, so I have no right to go mod your comments.
I am glad that the affected people took this quite lightly, but still, some choose to treat it like a battlefield. Yes I agree my views differ from everyone else. I have spent most of my time and effort in helping to bond the class together. And I am sure the rest who did likewise will feel similarly. No need to mention who. You know who they are. If calling everyone to view the blog was meant to incite one's feelings, then I would not have done it. I hope when everyone reads the blog next time, read it with an open mind...do not take comments to heart...
The class morale/spirit/harmony has a great impact on me. To some, you may see it just as a class...class class loh....just see each other for 8 hours a day....
But to me its different. Each time when the class comes into conflict, my heart aches...it aches like mad I can tell you....words cannot describe it. When classmates get into trouble, I worry for them. I bother about simple matters, because I know if left unsolved, it will lead to complications. In the early days when the class was totally segregated, I tried to find ways to build bridges...literally...cause in the end..it was bridge that brought us closer to each other. i may seem "extra" or "overly emotional" "overly concerned" to some of you. But I have always that friendships prevails over everything else. It is after all, what brought us together in the end. At times I really felt like giving up. It seemed like a lost cause...but i never did. If you think my previous post was crap, it has hidden meanings within. By far only hui min has seen some of them. Dun mistake me for a guy who has a huge buffer, you never know when that buffer will end.....
There is simply too much that I have, memories, both pleasant and unpleasant in my mind. If i go rattaling on, i think it will serve no purpose.......
So I will just end it off here...with a few things to note.
- Never judge a book by its cover/a person by one incident.- Treasure what we have now; you never know when will it end...- Try to keep animosity as the last resort...- And keep friendship on going...You can treat this post as bullshit and just delete it la...maybe I feel that its bullshit too...haha.- Yick Loong
