Quotation

I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.

- Maxine Waters, in Brian Lanker, I Dream a World, 1989

After reading a newspaper article that talked about the school ranking system, I could not help but sense a tinge of betrayal from the MOE. Well, they had said that the school rankings would not be released this year and suddenly it is released with a two page article. But that's besides the point.

In the new ranking system, in which CHS did not even feature in the entire list of Top schools, which they said focused on both the acedemics and the physical activities.

Ms Susan Leong, principal of Cedar Girls', said "If a school does well academically but not in the other areas, then that shows clearly as well in the tables."

I cannot help but feel aggreived when such statements are made, in view of some facts:

1) CHS was the only top school that did not enter the list.

2)It was implying that CHS did not do well in "other" areas, which we will assume that it refers to CCAs

3)It has become a trend that this paper has been "shooting" us, with reference to the ip program article not long ago.

It seems to be a trend that people will often without thinking label CHS as a nerd school, it is a preconceived notion that we just know how to "mug" and nothing else. However, it is a totally flawed viewpoint.

Track and Field----2GOLD

Judo---------------2 GOLD

GYM-------------- 2 GOLD

Air rifle------------2GOLD

Canoing------------1GOLD

Squash-------------1GOLD

Well, to support what y2k said, we already have 10 golds with just 6 of our 18++ CCAs. If that still does not equate to "doing well" in other areas that I really cannot see what else we can do. The only way to handle this situation is to take it in our stride and beat them at their own game. I trust that we will still pick up what we have lost and break the common sterotypical image of CHS.

Recently I've began to notice that actually I keep alot of my thoughts to myself, be it when I see or hear of something.

Maybe I may talk some crap, but what I truely feel about the subject/whatever I still keep in my mind.

I think basicly thats why I'm not the kind who initiates conversation, since I'm not accustomed to talking about what I see/hear/do.

Kinda means I'm an introvert, not the extreme kind but one who prefers listening to speaking.

It's not uncommon for me to run out of topics during conversation, and what usually follows is an awkward silence.
