Since absolutely no one is posting, I'll take the initiative. Guys, who's up for another miserably low attendance rate class reunion? Not during March holidays, though; we're all swamped. Sometime in June again, I expect. Here are a few ideas in advance, in part contributed by Mala.
-Do what we did last year for the very first CR. That had the highest turnout, remember?
-Hang around in the park?
-Actually interact. You know, talk? With each other? Not over MSN? The CNY SHPS visit was ok when we sat around and just talked (and gained weight from McDonald's cholesterol), so that alone should be ok. Low cost too, unless you want to go somewhere expensive for lunch.
-The usual, watch a movie, combined with the above or something.
Also, prepare thyself for a great blasting. This is the almighty venting of extreme aggravation.
DON'T JUST PRETEND YOU WERE NEVER PART OF THIS CLASS! IT'S GETTING SEVERELY IRRITATING! YOU DON'T
HAVE TO BE APATHETIC TEENAGERS!!! I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH YOU FELT YOU WERE PART OF THE CLASS, BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT, YOU
WERE! WHETHER YOU CARE OR NOT,
OTHERS DID AND STILL DO!! AND JUST BECAUSE
YOU THINK IT SUCKED
DOESN'T MEAN IT DID!!! AT LEAST COME FOR THE SAKE OF THE FRIENDS YOU ONCE HAD, THE MEMORIES OF THINGS WE DID, THE HAPPINESS LOST! HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF HISTORY, OF BELONGING!? NOT EVERYTHING IS 'FOR MYSELF, BY MYSELF' ALL THE TIME!!! IF NONE OF YOU CAN BE
BOTHERED TO REMEMBER, WE MIGHT AS
WELL HAVE BEEN IN NINETEEN DIFFERENT SCHOOLS FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS (not counting 2007)!!!
Sorry about all that, but it really is a pain to hear people like Elias saying they forgot everything about SHPS, from teachers' names to what happened. Our formative years were important. They shaped us to be who we are today. That is why we hold these reunions: to bring back everyone who impacted us these few years. Alright? Please.

3 posts in one day.
But one grouse is that you can't quite tell the posts apart from afar. Still, its rare that we get more than one post a day. And can you put in archiving? Or if its too much we could wait for th march hols and then come online together and look for blogskins and fuss around with html.
6/12 is our king.

Just wanted to add this in.
I think a brown tagboard would be cool. And this blogskin and all the words are really nice, good job Clar. I like the 'caught a snitch' after every post part. Now, I just need to find an equally nice black but still colourful blogskin for my own blog...

Who's going back for cny? And what time do your schools end? Life's more complicated now, at least school-wise. More homework, longer hours, more committments, more expectations. Sigh. And time passes so fast. Within a month the exams will be on us again. Sec two year. More maturity, more respect, more stuff, more a lot of stuff. Bad english, I know. And english is getting a lot harder now.
Anyone know who Amanda Chong is? She was the first Singaporean to win the first prize (joint) for the top category at the age of 13. And she's from RGS. She's quite famous, and she's my english relief teacher now. Great teacher, in lit as well. She must have been really good in english and lit. The thing is, during the 10th anniversary dinner I thought I heard the second batch mention Amanda Chong. So I was wondering if she was from shps as well.
Holidays are coming! More homework, but at least a short break, and you get to visit your relatives and collect money. And get half-days and watch concerts. Or if you get days off and no concerts, its good too. So, who's going back to visit the teachers and see everyone else who's going back? I think Shir, Clar and Yu Jian are all pretty much confirmed going. School for us finishes at 10.30 am on cny eve, I think. I'm most likely going.
The forum and this blog is very dead. Am I, along with Clar, the only person who checks it?
