Everyone needs compassion
Love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender
Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing, for the glory
Of the risen King
Jesus, Shine your light in
Let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory
Of the risen king

I think it is only during the National Day celebration period that I feel this influx of patriotic sentiments. During SS yesterday, the teacher brought up a conflict on the government's part regarding the slogan of our society. It is ironic (everything's about irony it seems) that just barely one month before ND when they tell us to be ONE PEOPLE, there is a day on the 21st of July when they tell us to CELEBRATE OUR DIFFERENT CULTURES. I mean, it is so confusing as to what exactly they want to promote. Can't they just make up their mind?
Anyways, I went around school today in a huge baggy red T-shirt and berms, with my hair tied up in a bun hidden under a cap and a shark tooth "necklace". Basically, I'm trying to look like a male punk to match the theme of our class- we were supposed to come in couples dressed to match. Guess where we got the idea from? ROMANCING SINGAPORE! This excludes gays and lesbians. My "girlfriend" was Cynthia and she was so much more dressed up than me. I think we looked really great together, haha. But if the teachers didn't know about our class theme, they'd think that I really was kinda weird. Karwei and Cranj were able to pull it off with such style and charm though. They both looked really hot! ;D It's funny how Karwei can be so chio when she's girly and be so handsome when she cross-dresses. Don't get any funny ideas though. If she becomes HP or VHP, I tell you the Sec Ones will go crazy for her.
Then after ND celebrations, I had Speech Day tech rehearsal. Everything went pretty smoothly and I could tell that the teachers were quite glad that we're rather organised. I do hope that SD turns out great, not to mention that this is a wonderful opportunity to sort of patch up the board's reputation. We had this attendance problem, not very large but still minorly disturbing. Some absences were not accounted for/ had invalid excuses, and these came from the sec 3s. Therefore I'm sending out a "scolding" mail to the yahoogroups and making sure this does not happen again. It is quite predictable as to who are the ones because it's always the same people not putting board as a priority. Sigh. Being in the role of disciplinarian is
not fun. Mel suggested something drastic, like giving their names to Mr. Png. I thought we should get Fai and Amy to blacklist them in their little black book. There should be a penalty for not doing what you're supposed to (refer to Kar's ___body joke).
All in all, I'm relieved that at least we have a
decent four day break from school. I'm going to use it to read the book I'd just borrowed from the RGS library- Life of Pi. Apparently it's quite a critically-acclaimed book- that was why I could pick out the familiar title. I don't even know if it's my cup of tea so hopefully it'll be rewarding enough to be worth my time. Happy holidays everyone! =)
