MIDNIGHT!/ Thursday, August 02, 2007
Totally random comment: It's actually a saddening issue to see so many animals becoming endangered today. Even more scary is the way endangered innocent animals are killed brutally, not for their skin nor meat, but just merely killed. The reasons? No one knows.
Rewinds back to the school life:
I was actually in a foul and irritated mood yesterday afternoon. We had a physics timed practise, but before that, there was a showing of some nuclear explosion documentary at 1415h. After math tutorial ended slightly after 1345h, there seemed to be some mad rush of time. Perhaps it's wrong to say that there's any mad rush to get things done, because there simply wasn't any. It was just friends grumbling and debating over what time we had to be present at the audi. The atmosphere was quite kan chiong. And I didn't like that at all. I was trying to comprehend what mr hong had taught and some of the concepts were whirling in my brain. So when I'm presented with a kan chiong situation in front of me, I got pissed off. I need peace to think! Rarr. Nevermind that. So I packed up my bag in a hurried manner, expecting the others to do the same. That wasn't the case. I had to wait for others who weren't ready. Already you people are complaining there isn't enough time and yet none of you seemed to be rushing. Whatever can. We walked to the canteen, and as usual, it was packed. The entire AJ population has to squeeze into the canteen during the Wednesdays lunch break. It's so squashed in there, plus the queues are always long. Most of the time as well, for those who end school at 1345h, we only have 30min to queue and consume our food. *claps* As though this isn't frustrating enough, I see the western store auntie being biased. AGAIN. Okay, maybe now I don't take offense over the auntie giving a larger portion of food to the guys (we pay the same price), since they have a larger appetite, but to serve them(okay in this case just a guy) a plate of food, which wasn't even those stated in the menu, without them(okay him) even demanding for it? The auntie didn't even charge him a single cent. This is too ridiculous! I hate such explicit form of discrimination. If only some action can be taken against the auntie..
3/4 of the class guys haven't been turning up for lessons these 2 days. Most of them are down with eye infections, the primary source being yongbiao. He spread to weide zhaocong adrian terrence samuel all within a day! Gosh. I hope everyone gets well soon! Hmm. Seems like Yongbiao will be in trouble with the guys when he returns to school.
During our class break, we happened to be discussing about the army. Though only 4 of the guys were present, majority of them voiced their opinions that they weren't comfortable with female commanders guiding them. Perhaps this isn't a form of discrimination, but that men are too egoistic and find it hard to change their mindsets towards females in the army. While physically females may not be as strong, I firmly believe that they have the leadership capability to lead others along as well as the intellect. Otherwise, they wouldn't be commanding a fleet of guys. In reality, I'm not sure if there is a scenario where a female commander will take charge of a male platoon though. We were just discussing, but of course, I stick to my stand that females commanders can command the guys.
On monday, our school counsellor Lionel came to our class during physics lesson and shared with us about stress. Miss Ng invited him to share about stress with our class. So we all learnt more about managing stress after the sharing. For example, we have to learn to balance out things. Generally, there are 4 ways to face stress; emotional, intellectual, physical or spiritual means.
Officially, the 24th committee has taken over. I wish them all the best! The 23rd comm has had much experiences and fond memories in the past year, be it during expeditions or courses or trainings or our miscellaneous activities. Certainly, I'll miss every single ODACian. 
you'll be missed. thanks ODACians, for all your contributions made to the 23rd comm and ODAC! =)
thanks to our president kenneth and vice president stacy for guiding us along our odac journey! ps.thanks stacy for helping me out with some of the administrative work as well! :)
