Hi all,
Like it or not, the teachers are gonna take you through your A-levels. Yer why are A-levels important? Not like most of you don't have a clue but I'm just gonna emphasize it. Your A-level results and the interviews you will be going through will determine the scholarship you will be getting. Of course, for most of us, scholarship will determine the course we will be taking. Disliking or even hating your teachers isn't gonna do you any good. Since you'll be stuck to them for 1 year, why not just live through it happily instead of wasting your life away hating your teachers?
Well, the point is, if you are able to hate your teacher and still do well in that particular subject(whatever it may be), go ahead and hate your teacher, no one will stop you if you enjoy it. But think about your future in the mean time. If you start disliking the teacher, you might eventually start losing interest or even detest what you are or will be learning from now on. And there you go, you do badly for it and that's pretty much gonna make you lose your scholarships. This is life, I'm sorry to tell you but life is unfair(quoted from Ms Heng). A 'B' grade in your straight 'A's probably isn't gonna make a difference but a 'C' will. Many people will be getting similar grades for A-levels. 'A's for content-based subjects isn't gonna be rare, in fact it's gonna be like the air around you, abundant indeed.
So yer, do what you like, no point hating your teachers, you waste ATP(energy), your future, your time, your grades and your life.
PS. It's bad for health to flame Hewlett Saint, you will probably regret it.
Cheers,
Kira

Regarding Class Issues.
Dear 07S71,
Firstly, I'd like to explain the rationale for my resignation.
I do feel that many of you underestimate Si Kai's ability to do things for the class. Honestly speaking, he may not be able to command the attention (because he's not as large or as loud as I am), but he is definitely more conscientious in completing his tasks than I am. You all know that, just looking at my homework. =.= though Wei Xin told me I do (or rather, have done) too much for the class (and I know he's damn right about it) I know I've done a completely sucky job as CT rep.
So please give Si Kai and Nicole your fullest support, because being a CT Rep, especially OUR CT Rep, is a tough job.
Secondly, I'd like to address you regarding...
teachers. you love them or you hate them. in order not to hurt anyone's feelings, even though we all know which teachers we're talking about, I denounce any naming of teachers on this public domain.
of course, it isn't about naming of teachers we hate/love. it's about you.
SO LISTEN UP, AND LISTEN GOOD.
Even if you don't like the teacher, bear with it. The fact that they have been placed over us means that they have authority over us. We can influence them, and try to help them change to better suit our learning needs. OR we could realize that we're in school to be changed, not just to change others, and decide not to force our will on others, and letting your actions scream out the words I HATE YOU.
Hello, wake-up call? No matter how much you whine, moan, groan or complain to the administration, nobody's going anywhere. Maybe, just maybe, if you gave others a chance (or many), you'll be able to look past their inadequacies, remember their humanity, and save all of us from failing the bloody 'A' levels just because YOU (yes, you.) couldn't get along with some people and as a result the lessons will be completely unproductive.
And to all those who experience just a mild dislike for your teachers' teaching methods, yet still have a tinge of respect for those who boldly chose to be in the teaching profession, don't be misled by a few angry souls. Stand up for what you believe in and rebuke your friends for being insensitive and short-sighted.
I know this might potentially cause me to be flamed, but I will accept any comments (or insults) that you throw my way. Because maybe after many years, you'll search the depths of the abyss you have for a heart, you'll eat those angry words you vomit out.
Your happily-resigned ex-CT rep,
Hewlett.

Random! @ Macs
LOL here's some random photos taken during our class chalet! (25-27th Nov '07)
These are evidence of us spending the first night stoning at the 24-hr Mcdonalds @ Downtown East. (:
Look into my eyes! 
I've dimples!
HMM...
Cool specs!
HEE!
Meeting Juniors! (:
heys 71!
We'll be meeting our junior class for the first time next wed (9th Jan)!
To warmly welcome them to our 71 family, we'll be treating them to Canadian pizzas and Gelare cakes! After a round of self introduction, we intend to play some games with our juniors. They will be "musical chairs" and the blanket game, whereby there'll be two persons facing each other, who will be separated by a blanket, and they are to shout each other's names once the blanket is dropped. Yea, it'll be a good opportunity for everyone to know each other better. (:
Is it alright with everyone?
We'll need the whole class's effort in buying the food, organizing the games and stuff. Hope that it'll be fun! (:
OH, and for STJ, sikai suggested NYDC because we've got some vouchers. It'll be around $20 per person. Any other suggestions? The details and everything will be settled at a later date.
That's all! :D
