Meeting with Principal of my Alma Mater

Yesterday I was back at my alma mater for the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration as well as to hand in the online petition I helped to start to the principal. There was another guy accompanying me and I was grateful for his support. You know lah, Singaporeans are good at complaining but when it comes to making their statements official in front of people, constraints will start popping up. However, I understand the reasons behind the reluctance in showing up but I was still disappointed nonetheless.

In the end, the two of us ended up in a conference room facing the principal, chairperson of the school board, and the chairperson of the alumni association. They gave a considerable amount of explanations as to why the schools have to merged, why the choices of the school name for voting, why the need of having to use a single unique school name and removal of the current school crest, etc. It seemed so logical at that time but it is always the case of now and then. After we left the room and on our way home, we felt that we are still not entirely convinced, especially on the point on the removal of the crest.

Anyway, we agreed that all we want is for the best of the school and shall work together towards that goal in the future, not to cause any negative publicity for the school. Having said that, what more can I do? I really wish I can do that something extra to at least help fulfill part of the wish all alumni and students have...

高湘君

Wow, I have been real busy reading notes and papers as well as working on my assignments and projects. Hence I don't have time to actually sit down to think and write in here. Besides, I don't have anything special happening to me to write about or something which I have comments on. However, one has to have a bit of fun even if one is busy and writing nonsense here is quite fun (next to gaming on my brother's X-Box). I also found some time to admire pictures of a pretty girl I chanced upon :p
