staying together, moving ahead.

Isn't the title familiar? Does it ring a bell? If you can't rmb where you heard of that phrase, search no further than the newspaper. This PAP slogan is plastered everywhere. And this PAP slogan is the key to solve all the problematic issues we have at hand. Lim Yuan told us that the problems of disunity and lack of class spirit is pretty OK. And that we would have to LIVE by that and ADJUST ourselves to that. To hear that sentence from our dear vice-CT rep is utterly disappointing. ='( but lim yuan has been doing well. And this is no finger pointing cause my fingers are only pointing at my keyboard. Because that sentence epitomise a defeat and a white flag; surrendering ourselves to the problem.

Though we may not know how to solve this problem... One thing is for sure. We have to do something. We have to do the best we know how at this moment. louis vuitton handbags If it doesn't turn out right, we can modify it as we go along. This isn't just my philosophy. Its Franklin D. Roosevelt. (this isn't any feeble attempt to appeal to higher authority)

If its methdology that Lim Yuan asked. Then its methodology that Lim Yuan gets. Firstly we need more Welfare Reps. You might ask if that is necessary? Well, I would say it is. (sounds so dumb but nvm.) Everyone agrees that the responsibility of a welfare rep is too great a burden and wensi is already coping well. But we need more macho shoulders to carry this great burden and .:. we need more welfare reps to mould this class into a cohesive unit. [disclaimer: 05s65 have a few welfare reps.] So, volunteers just step forward! Prerequisites: macho shoulders ?_?, genuine care & concern for the class, superb passion! (just like a councillor)

The second step is to try to move away from your cliques. Yes. That's essential. This don't really need much explaining. And I do talk to Panlin at least 3 days in 5 days. We got the couples, geogers, mafia, PRC, foosball etc. Now we need the 6d rollers.

Next would be to organise more class activities la. June coming liao la. Who wanna organise chalet? Maybe can chill at East Coast park or rent some cranky old bicycle to play. Can go tanning also and have glowing bronze tan of our beloved wensheu. Alot of things to do in June lor. JTS and STJ also good ways of fostering class spirit. Maybe in JTS can go play some OG games la. U know what i mean? I hope you do.

Next next is a rather infeasible idea. But it works very well! Go OBS. yay. it stands for outward bound S'pore. terrible place to punish naughty kids. But can foster SOLID class spirit. If we enroll in OBS, i bet we will not forget each other even when we are grey and old. Even in our coffin also can remember 6d la. Going OBS means we get to: play together, pump together, sai gan together, sleep together (oops. sounds wrong. er. sleep in a tent of 5 ppl of same gender.), eat together and shit together. Sounds cool right? Btw i dont get any bonus for advertising OBS. Maybe that's what we really need.

Also we need to establish better communication avenues. Like before Artemis race, maybe we can relay the information to everyone in the class. Dont neglect the PRCs. Haven't seen them in most of the class activites. Has it come to your mind that we are excluding them? Did any1 tell them about any events? So i suggest we can set up a Yahoo! Group or a forum; then can post information there lor. Also can post hw reminders and other stuff. Otherwise we can keep a website (like the one that Artemis have.)

Lastly, please do not exhibit racial discrimination. Don't exclude ppl becos of their skin colour/country of origin and blar blar blar. Ya.

Food for thought: This isn't the 1st flashpoint of instability in our class. Some have been deleted by mods last time. But censorship isn't always the right thing....
