Haha, sorry for not updating for quite some time...I would LOVE to write about the overnight and backwoods experience, but didnt have the photos then, haha. And then I find my school life boring sometimes, not really interesting enough to blog about, lol. Fortunately, I am able to blog about fun stuff sometimes because of scouts...=D
Shall start with something simple today. Today the class seating arrangement changed. Apparently Mr Koh suddenly wanted to have the discussion group kinda of arrangement, where we faced each other in class instead of all towards the front. The new arrangement...yea can see it work. But some side effects started to appear after just a day. It basically promotes communication...talking and chatting at the wrong times... Haha, so the perception of the new arrangement differed quite a lot from person to person...
Significance: Hmm...I cant help but start thinking about the significance of this new arrangement. You know, just before this, I was telling the people sitting beside me, how I wanted to change seats because I just couldnt learn well beside them. I still dont dispute this point though, I mean, unless you are really good at controlling yourself, who's to say that he wont be affected sitting between 2 of his good friends?
When I said that I wanted a change, they think I just hated them and couldnt stand them, like seriously. Do you really think that I care nothing about friends, and only want the grades? If that's the case, I would be an introvert and wouldnt even want to get involved in anything at all except academic stuff, not class soccer, not class deco. Then maybe I can get the 4.0 GPA everyone dreams of. But no, thats not want I want. Or maybe they think that Im just someone hard to please. Ok, thats justifiable, I do get pissed off sometimes, but dont we all come from different backgrounds, schools, classes and families? Dont you think that the actions that someone deem as alright, might not be so to another person? I know some people just cant understand why Im acting in a certain way, and that's ok, but im sure asking is an option, or if you're not interested, then just let it be. That goes the same for me, I refrain from imposing my own thinking and ideals on others. People are different. Some more than others. And that's what make you, you, and me, me.
Changing of seats doesnt have to be the end of interaction and communication. Hopefully the change of seats can allow all of us to experience how its like with other people, and maybe realise what each of us valued about each other, and form even stronger friendships in the process. That is what I really hope for.
I dont intent for this to be an attack of any form, but simply to explain where Im coming from, and how I view the issue. Hope you understand.

Random incident: On the bus ride home today, I was holding on the the grab pole. And as usual, I started to feel the drowsiness, and slowly drifted off to sleep. My head just started to fall forward and it crashed against the metal pole. The loud sound and the pain woke me. Lols, people who happened to notice what happened must have been thinking of what kind of school RI is... I lowered my head, and rubbed where my head was hit. Didnt dare to look at people's expressions...haha.
