Back to basics...

Today was the day Yishun Town Secondary School celebrated teacher's day with the usual concert put up by students. I forgot to take any photos, because, simply put, the standard of the Graduating Class' Performance section has increased dramatically...

When it was the year for my class to perform, people would be impressed with just a song and a dance like my class. (My class was chosen as the grand finale) But this year, wow, not only are the song choices better, dance better and girls better-looking (=P), but its just that overall the mood of the whole thing has increased dramatically, like break dancing, hip hop, etc etc... it was splendid, better than anything i had glimpsed in my 5 years of life in that demented place. Or maybe, things just look better sitting on CHAIRS at the back of the hall on those prestigious Alumni Chairs as compared to sitting cross-legged on the floor, which is a major pain in the a**.

Anyway, caught up with some of my teachers and friends after that... Also saw the horror-of horror, Mr Ong KW... He who made my DNT class have no June Holidays at all.. Or Sep Hols too, i think... Or saturdays as well... Half-day holidays dont exist for him as well, as he'll insist we go back to do our folios...

As much as i hated him back then, as i shook his hand today and told him what course i am pursuing in RP, i can't help but remember the conversation i had with my good pal, kennie, a while back... In that conversation, we realised that after graduation, everything that we hated suddenly feels so important to us...

In the past, I hated going to school because it was too binding, do this, do that kinda thing... People telling us what to do everywhere. Now, however, i have freedom in poly, i can choose if i want to go to school or not... If i dont go to school, no one will care, because it's my future that i am messing up.

Also, life without school rules feels a little directionless... in the past, in sec school, there was time tables for us to follow, now there is nothing. We do what we want, when we want, where we want... Sure, it seems fun for awhile, but after awhile, i started feeling like lost sheep...

So maybe, rules are better for us after all...

Either way, i enjoyed today... =)
