I beg to differ

Hi all!

It's to a little of my amazement to read what the_laptop state in the last post. well, at least for the first part of it with regards to the 'dysfunctionalism' of the class.

i have a differing opinion. as disappointing or sad this may sound, what and where the class is today is nothing but a consequence of consequences. definitely so many things happened since we graduated from vj, pple leaving for other countries at one stage, pple suffering in the army, pple having other aims in minds, pple returning back to their homelands.. etc. you name them, we most certainly have them. we couldn't have controlled that. perhaps we could have reduced the effects of 'dysfunctionalism' today, but we didn't. hence, today's state. there's no one to be blamed. not even the class as a whole.

however, yes, i very much agree with the fact that we MUST keep in contact for many reasons. it is another aspect of our lives and how we should cherish it, since it was part and parcel of our growing up stage in the past. and for the point about being more enthusiastic, probably we cannot discreetly put it upfront, thrown on everyone of our faces, saying "Hey, you you you, you have to be MORE enthusiastic in maintaining contact with who who who". It's by far unnatural and would not lead to anything positive, except for the feeling that we are OBLIGED to do so.. rather than we have a choice to. The OBLIGATION leads to unhappiness and probably unwillingness to be gelled in for the future.

put it simply, we can have the aim of maintaining contact in mind, yet, not putting it upfront. regular class outings and meals, like the one recently had does the job. probably we took too long to organise that, but in my view, it was a good step, perhaps a baby little step to somewhat patch up what we have seemingly lost in these 3 years, the transition years. it's good effort and we MUST continue to do that.

that aside, yes, i'm here to post something. perhaps we could use this space to share ideas, to write your experiences, grievances.. and not only as a place where we arrange meet ups. probably we can do that. it lies inside each of our hearts..

i'm guilty, as well. for whichever reasons, bygones are bygones. let's look ahead to a livelier S35 blogspot!

so much said, my short post actually: i'm going to genting in a few hours. i'm gonna stomp into the CASINOS at 0000hrs sharp on 13 jun 2006, as i officially turn ADULT suddenly. to think 12 jun 06 2359hrs i would still be a young punk.

k, got to have a rest, till next time, see ya all!
