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

Ok I'm not supposed to be up at this hour because my sleep deficit has been accumulating to almost lethal levels. But I still gotta get something off my system so here it goes...
Some things in this world, in school are really overrated i.e. held too high in importance/ treated too seriously though it really isn't. I won't go into details but today hasn't been a very pleasant day for me. Everyone's tired and swamped with work. Now that PI's just two weeks away and our batch item's not worked out, it's just added pressure on a lot of people. I know it's our last PI and as sec 4s, we want this to be special. But I feel that maybe we're just taking this too seriously that we're not enjoying the essence of it. What's the point then? Yes, our objective may be to impress the school and guests, but in the end, if we don't enjoy the whole process and bond as a batch, then it's really quite sad. I know the end results will be rewarding, and it'll be worth it. But we've got to lighten up and stop behaving as though if we don't get the dance right, the world is going to end. Forgive me for being so brutally honest and probably offensive but this is really how I feel. This is my blog so I'm just going to write my mind. I must admit that I pushed for the orientation dance cos it's cool, well-rehearsed and less time-consuming to perfect. But if you guys want a dance to be special only for PI, then that's also reasonable. In this case, we might have to compromise the standard of our performance. Mastering the slick dance moves that moni, lwin and effendy came up with is not easy (especially for a stiff-as-wood "dancer" like me). But I guess I must have faith that we'll make it. Like Sruthi said, it dosen't matter if it's perfect, as long as we try out best.
So let's all try our best to make it work. I do hope we don't end up looking like clowns (ok I've got to stop being a wet blanket pessismist). True, I don't want other schools to being going, "Goodness, that was such a crappy dance." But I want to be able to enjoy it for once. To feel the fianzan spirit in doing this together. Let's not disappoint each other. I'm sure we'll be able to make it if everyone just does their best and maybe put in a lil bit more elbow grease. Positive confession: PI 2005's gonna rock the house!
