1:49 PM - Tuesday, May 16, 2006

I've finally handed over my house committee duties to the next batch! It's really a huge load off my chest! The handover ceremony today was really unique, special, one-of-a-kind, never-seen-before,etc. In my opinion, it started with a bang and ended really mild and calmly.

By 7.30am, all the year twos were already smartly clad in black with ties of their respective house colours on them and the year ones were also awaiting at the side of the hall with their shades. But somehow, after national anthem, pledge taking and mrs chan's especially long announcement and the clocked read 7.55am, we knew something was going to come our way. Then the video played, and halfway through the video at around 8.05am, what we expected eventually came. Mr Bastard (aka Mr B) came behind the hall to ask who did the video and why was it so long. After learning from Daryl that the video was 8 minutes long, he started to scream at him like nobody's business. With Kaixiang's interference, we managed to calm the situation down and leave it till after assembly. By now, the situation was already very tense and all we could do was hurry the walking in and announcing of next batch of house comm which made everyone looked like idiots. Once again, people are going to think that house comm are a bunch of incompetant losers who can't even do a proper job at investiture.

Next Mr B called us all the the grandstand to tell us the difference between obedience and defiance and to tell us the importance of 8 minutes. Mr B also told us the meaning of being disgusted with us and he even cracked a super lame joke by saying "when have I ever said no to you?" Basically, it was just a case of misunderstanding and i think Mr B knows his misatake. I think many people will already be scolding him so i shan't do that too. Give and take.

But seriously, Mr B is someone who doesn't know give and take. Firstly, 8 minutes and 15 minutes are just 7 minutes difference. How much impact will that have on lessons. To miss chow, maybe the 7 minutes will be "do u all need me to explain this?" Besides, when u release them at 8, who actually rushes for lessons and reach class within minutes? He's someone who cannot do his work well too. As the house committee teacher in charge, why must you, at the last few minutes of our term, come and yell at us? It totally spoilt everyone's mood, especially of daryl and kaixiang. And he's definitely someone who cannot fight for house committee. Look at the SC with Mr Chad Goh, the CT council with Mr Hoe, and us with Mr B. the difference is clearly shown by our investiture. The SC took a whole assembly period and 2 full school periods, had a full day off and refreshments at the concourse. they had air-con hall for the students, and everyone even had to wear tie for them. Fine, let's see CT council. They also took assembly and a full 2 periods. Although theirs is only invloving year 1s, they had the performance theatre and refreshments at the concourse. Lastly, they had a full day off. Now look at house committee. we wanted the handover last thursday, Mr B pushed it to this monday. fair enough, because Mrs Chan had to speak. We asked for investiture to take assembly and the first period. Disallowed. Fine, we tried to throw away all the creative ideas we had and shorten it to the bare minimum, video, walk-in and handover, taking about 20 minutes max. Due to miscommunication, Mr B thought it was only 8 minutes and made a fuss out of nothing. We have no refreshments, no proper investiture, even our full day off was self declared. Think about it, if we had to kick someone out to make house committee more prominet, who should it be? Mr B claims to do everything he can to make house committee more prominent and significant in school, but think about it, has he done anything that has not put us down?

In short, he's an obstacle.
