Who ever said it was tough life studying in neighbourhood schools? All the disturbing arguments of whom being despised and whom being shun, could possibly be as frustrating as being the target of complaints.

"We received a complaint from a passenger on bus 55. None of the victorians on board gave up their seats for her and her three kids tagging along when the bus was crowded." Mr Seet announced to the college during assembly. There must be a misconception somewhere. Note that the bus was crowded. Unless that particular passenger had nothing better to do as to lodge a complain to every possible school, i don't see why victorians are getting the blame. Whatever happened to VS, St patricks, Katong Convent and the many other schools that lay along Marine Vista Road?

Yes yes, you may argue that vj is one of the top 5 colleges with good reputation yadayada high expectations, and highest in seniority if you have to mention, but victorians are humans too. We hardworking students need to catch forty winks when time permits, it'd be beneficial to the society in the long run if that's a good enough reason for a seat. Haven't these people heard of the first come first serve theory? No, don't make me seem like i'm some petty old lady refusing to give up my seat. It probably din't occur when i was on the bus, i'd try to avoid the crowd anyway, just expressing a tinge of indignation for those accused.

It must be terrible to be on a crowded bus, much worst at peak hours. With your whole body squashed against another like sardines in a tin, it doesn't make matters any better with inconsiderate students (aunties and uncles like to target students and pressure them to give up their seats by sending brain waves, as they would think we kids are strong and healthy enough to stand an hour worth of journey!) trying very hard to look asleep and oblivious to the other commuters or simply avoiding eye contact. I'd most gladly give up my seat to an old lady or a pregnant one (provided no body else does. haha.) but maybe not to a woman with three kids who are probably as healthy as i am. (and you know kids just can't sit still so why waste the seat?) And it isn't exactly our fault that she choose to lead her kids up a crowded bus. A nice and empty double decker bus could possibly be just right behind if she was willing to wait. According to Quantum mechanics you never know until you try.

It just pays off to choose a school of strategic location.

I was surprised we din't hear of another complaint. The disapproving and perturb look on the face of the auntie selecting oranges at Cold Storage looked like she was yet another potential "complainer". I could imagine her thinking "What on earth are victorians doing, tossing egg tofus into the air?!" It sucks even more when your catching skills are only enough to fill half a bucket. Maybe she mistook us for xxx JC. And to her they do these things all the time. But thankfully what i expected din't arrive.

Hi everyone. I should say you must be scrutinizing every part of my blog to be reading this arent you? Well, if you're that bored or interested in me, this is me you're looking at. Just a typical mundane human being living in this distorted world filled with what we call friends and foes. It's just me to get all maudlin and touchy about friendships and covalent bonds that i painstakingly built, and it's most dreading to realise what you call friends are actually fair-weathered ones and ditch you for others. You know.. that sort of ambivalent feelings which arises with such friendships. From young, my pedagogues have complained of me being temperamental and from there i have learnt and seen the world beyond me, where there happened to be people fairing far worst than i do. I realised in this period of isolation that life turns out to be happier for everyone if people knew how to be sate with life. It's just in the genes that human beings have to take things for granted and learn to appreciate things only when they have lost it. Sad isn't it?. I admit possessing that characteristic, which led me to losing what i should have treasured most, with great regrets. Now, like Krishna, we are inclined to seeking comfort from things that we are familiar with, unaccustomed to changes. It may not appear to be me on the outside, braving the winds of the outside world, strong and unbeatable. Like the saying goes, never judge the book by its cover, and i believe in that, in the way i credit people. We all treasure private space don't we?.. It's just human nature. And of course it most dreading to feel deserted by your friends isn't it.. ? To feel cheated and betrayed.. Well, live a sate life readers!
