talk, talk somemore

today's cyclathon competition was, as predicted, kind of a failure for draco especially. i think we clocked the least mileage, and might just be the house with the least donations. right from the beginning, when pegasus, ursa and lynx (who's turned shameless this year) have tons of people coming to cycle for them, we have only me, min loong, mr wee and joyce. so i started the race and guess what, the stupid magnet flew off and i cycled a distance for nothing. so we were trailing right from the start. and to make matters worst, we didn't have people to come down to support us or even donate to us. so confidence hit rock bottom. and then we saw the vice principal mr teo and asked him for donations. guess how much he put? $2? $5 $10? $20? well done mr teo, he put in $1+... even lesser than me... well done...

but stuff got better as it went on, as we received donations from a few more generous people like the other vice principal, mr yeo(yeo is better and taller den teo), mrs chan and even miss jancy. some other people i have to thank are mr wee, who gives us both financial and emotional support, 05S41, 05S27, 05S24 for almost cycling the whole competition, as well as some help from 06S39 and 06S41! special thanks go out to kaixin who helped me gather donations and mann-ed the booth when i had to go for lecture and people of S27 who went the extra mile, as in literally, for draco. enqing did 7km, fabian did 5km, i did 5km, zuhao did 5km...etc. i guess this is the kind of people we really need in draco. so other draconians out there, stop the all talk no action, stop hoping to get benefits without contributing cause it ain't gonna happen.

just realised i've become a more and more lonely person. always lost in school after lessons end with no one to find or talk to. everyone's having CCA and other commitments while i just happily waste my time away...

and i'm just thinking to myself, i'm working like a mad dog for house comm, cheering and planning stuff for the fellow students... but FOR WHAT??? do people even appreciate what we're doing? does mr seet even know how much we went to get people to cycle and donate? or all he cares is about he himself getting all the credit and us acting his stupid skit? does the draconians know how much we're planning for house function and how much crap we have to contact and liase here and there? or are they gonna mass pon the house function cuz they think it's gonna be boring? you guys are the boring ones dude. do the people know how much we plan for every interhouse competition, getting permission and asking the teachers and getting scolded and stuff? or are they gonna make a fool and make their own rules? or do they think house comm only does this kind of stuff cause we have nothing better to do? do the freshmen know how much crap we have to do to plan for the OG BBQ? or issit all talk no action again? say so much about having an OG BBQ and in the end the attendance turns out like crap!

is it really that cool to not appreciate what others are doing for you?
