i'm groggy, a bit dizzy, and delirious as well. totally exhausted. this hellish period is taking a toll on me. i can feel this burning sensation at the back of my eyes, like some fire that's gonna spread and eventually burn up my eyes from the inside.
apparently monday was the supposed day for racial harmony day celebrations at nj. i must say, it was pathetic beyond description. isn't it ironic that Singapore has to have a racial harmony day, where racial harmony is to be emphasized, and yet we have such pathetic efforts being displayed by schools? ok, maybe its only in nj. i mean, there wasn't even a decent concert. ok, so they held this "open air" performance in the atrium, but it was plagued by the incessant technical difficulties faced by the PA systems. but thats the norm anyway, it can't be helped. and not to mention we had this lame batik and henna designing competition..that lasted for one measly hour. so effectively, celebrations lasted from 10am to 11am. one hour. AND on top of that, lessons resumed immediately after that.
back at sji, i remember watching a concert, and there would be ethnic games, and the highlight would be the food bazaar, which everyone would be eagerly preparing for. comparing the programmes offered by an independent school, and a government school, i've got no comments. moral of the story is, don't go to a government-run JC after secondary school. the best thing is to join some integrated programme, or go to Hwa Chong International School, or UWC or something. at least, not nj. enough said.
they say the school spirit is reflected by the attitude of the students in the school, but how can a school spirit flourish- or even exist for that matter- if we have such a moronic administration, breathing down on our necks, turning us into an army of mindless drones, stones who blend in better with the soil than the human environment?
heinous.
