Disclaimer: this is definitely not meant to chide you in anyway. just hoping to get some of my opinions across regarding your points. and, i do apologise if it sounds harsh in any manner you would like to intepret it.
Dearest CherHern, i was inclined to think you have changed for the better. That is, until i read your entry. I believe it was meant to be offensive, since you knew people would be offended, you decided to put it there anyway. Don’t attempt to portray yourself as a saint, CherHern. I am immensely disappointed and disgusted by your baseless accusations pointedly, at the 2nd intakers and the supposed family(as you would like it to be known as) for creating the rift in the class. May I jolt your memory then?
When I first came into this class at a 2nd intaker, there was absolutely zero attempt from you at establishing friendly relations. In fact, you were downright rude, sarcastic and vulgar. Of course, that is now in the past and I do not blame you for it. however, since you like bringing up the past so much and how the first 3 mths were far amiable and enjoyable in comparison, I am obliged to refute your point. I, too, had an enjoyable 1st 3mths and I suppose the other 2nd intakers would agree. I assume that all of us had lots of fun. But can I remind you CherHern, that that was in the past. What is your motive of bringing it up again? To segregrate the 2nd intakers frm the 1st intakers now? Do you suppose that I’m very happy being a 2nd intaker in a totally new environment? Is it fair for you to then imply that 2nd intakers caused the rift? Now, that is very childish to discuss the 1st intaker and 2nd intaker rubbish again, so I just wanted to make my point known to you.
Now, and the supposed exclusive and aloof “family” clique. Did it ever occur to you that YOU are the one who thinks that way? I for one, do not feel that I am being exclusive by being part of the family. And I don’t intend to explain to you how the family thing works, but it is by no means for the purpose of being EXCLUSIVE and to leave everyone out(as you so love to insinuate). Do you think we have nothing to do? To purposely isolate ourselves from the class? Is life as narrow minded as that? hello?? I really wonder why you’re making such a big HOOHA over nothing. Isnt the exclusivity and “family” thing just a part of your own narrow-minded self-centred point of view? We never established the fact that we didn’t want to be with the class nor be apart from the class. In fact, I believe we have a amicable co-existence with the rest of the class. Do we quarrel? No. so may I ask what is your problem CherHern since you belong to neither cliques(as you so love to establish)? In fact, I believe that I’ve been tolerating your vulgarity and so on and have been extremely nice(in my point of view) to you. Seriously, I was glad for you when you decided to stop your vulgarity thing and seemingly became a nicer person, but this time your accusations are way off tangent. I am definitely not uncomfortable in anyway to talk to the rest of the people in class, and that includes you.
You know what, I feel that you have no right to be as judgemental as you are. You definitely do not practice what you preach. Bond the class? May I know how you have tried to bond the class? How you have tried to talk to us? Not to me definitely. Who are you to act like a saint and start judging people?( of course, you will start denying that you’re not judging anyone but making a fair comment.) I do agree with you that the class needs to bond more, but I think you could have put it across in a nicer manner without any finger-pointing. You know that the ones you finger-point at would definitely be offended, so why do it? really, I believe you are matured enough than to include points that you feel are offensive. And may I add that you did not turn up for the class outing on national day for some reason or other?(it may not be your fault, but it is also not anyone’s fault when they have something on on the class outing day. So, no finger pointing again please. We all take the effort and you know it. so stop judging) “We must compromise and keep our silence to maintain the peace.” May I ask what you are doing now? keeping silence and maintaining the peace? (again…a flawed suggestion when you do not practice what you preach)
and wait a minute. the carnival as a prime example? of what? i believe that the carnival is a PRIME EXAMPLE of how the class was united in trying to get the booth up and done successfully. may i ask how the "family"(again, this is the way you phrased it, not us.) has put in a solo effort? xinen gave everyone different responsibilities, anyone could take part in ANY of the different grps responsible for getting the different task done. and i wonder, you were doing the flowers with us too. and may i ask, who is in the "family" you are referring to? if we are the ones in the supposed "family" clique, and YOU did the flowers thing with us, are you then, in our family? and are you not chiding yourself all this while? seriously. what solo effort was there? i dont think any task completed in the carnival could have been accomplished without the help of group work. It is then ONCE AGAIN, unfair for you to happily push the blame to the "family" clique with such ease as you do, CherHern.
And of course, I accept your apologies for your accusations and I hope you have a nice day CherHern. May God bless you with a tamed tongue and an open mind. ( do not try to deny that you did not mean to harm when you made that personal attack in your entry before it was edited and erased.)
