Gone Are The Days

Tighten the school rules, fine.

Tighten your hold on our reins, fine.

Take away our priviledges, fine.

Make me pay for a school calender that costs ten bucks, not fine.

In fact, I want to tell you: Get out of my face.

I don't really care if you want to "shape up" the school's image and resurrect it once more on the glorified list of the government's. That's your job, and no way am I gonna hate you for it. Make us look like nerds and call us out on stage to bring shame that flush right down to the very tips of our toes for our unkempt hair, but finance is another issue altogether. I will get back to that later.

People are complaining, rebuking, berating and vituperating all over their emo-blogs these days without restraint, are you gonna catch all of us and whip us in front of hundreds pairs of eyes? Or are you going to look past the anger, confusion and upset emotions and understand what we are really trying to say? This country does not allow outright protests and riots, so we computerize it instead. Are you going to be like the government and round all of us up like they did during the Japanese Occupation and eliminate us? I'm talking harsh here, but it's time someone heard and understood.

Is there a need to rip us of our priviledges and control us like the robots we were supposed to be? I agree the school's students have been getting more and more out of hand lately, and it was high time you guys stepped up and did something about it. Nothing better than a tight slap in the face. It's what you're doing, but at the same time, you deprive us of the reason we came to school in the first place. Have you long lost your goal somewhere along the way?



If you did, please, I urge you to find it back and place it on top of your priority list. You are breaking all of us apart, scaring us shitless and making us fear the very entrance of the school. You are separating us, to break down our influence, our power, our bonds. You know that we cannot stand alone, so you go for our only weakness. Together we are strong, but a part without a part is apart. This is what I've learnt from OBS. You are sending us mixed signals. You want us to be supportive of each other, yet we cannot choose oppose authority? Everything you are doing for us is for our own good? Think again.



Ever heard of daylight robbery? This is daylight fear.



You have our bests interests at heart, but sometimes, your selfishness shines through like a bright light in a dark tunnel. You know we know what you are doing, yet you shower us with blessings and lies. We don't buy this shit, thank you very much.



Let me get back to the finance issue. Yes, you are "upgrading" the school's facilities to build in state-of-the-art equipments for the students to enjoy. But the original exercise gym, in my opinion, was perfectly fine. Eunice pointed out this very good fact the other day. We are fine with it. One more thing, it is rumored that if the sports students want us out of there, we have no choice but to comply. Why, o' mighty one, are we paying for it? Not to mention the fact that we are Secondary Fours, in the final year of our Secondary Life, and you are here making every single freaking one of us pay 10 freaking bucks for something that doesn't benefit us in anyway?

Sorry to be practical, but hey, that's how you survive in this world. You can't live your everyday life by just praying to God. He doesn't send money fluttering down from the skies. My parents have to work their asses off to provide me with what I have today. Why are you giving them more pressure in investing in your own interests? This is what upsets me. You renovated the Staff Room (like it wasn't good enough compare to the rest of the school) and even the General Office! Have you seen the Art Rooms? Have you even tried to work there?

I am so disappointed. To add "the icing on the cake", you've been spending all the money in the right places at the wrong time. What you are doing is morally wrong. I'm so disappointed in these supposed adults and decision-makers that I have nothing more to say. Until the next post, then.

I'm not handing the ten bucks over. If this continues I'm gonna go on mutiny.
