Now that after Mr Yeo's talk, I guess most of us are rather convinced by the school and is showing some form of support to the school's decision. However, i am still sure that many are still upset.. or felt betrayed by the sch. its what i think a "sure-have" situation and what we can do is hope that time heals all wounds.
i had kept a saying from one wise guy in mind. Seek Alignment but not Agreement.
This is indeed true and i have to agree that we can't agree with each other all the time. but i am not saying we shld go with whatever the sch wants. But now that the sch had compromised and some of our primary concerns (sports cca's matters) are addressed, maybe its our turn to align our stand.
I have to admit that to develop a niche area is not easy. Being in the Kranji Sec Badminton team(which was the niche of the sch), we are constantly showered with all the support. even the sch have to think twice before using the hall for any events or rehearsals. It is under that support that we can perform. but this often comes in the expense of other CCAs. I do agree with the sch prioritizing which area they want to develop but i just doubt their choice of CCA.
Ogl selection is another issue that is disturbing me. I had lost alot of Ogls with great potential through the course of these few days. to those whom had decided to drop out, dun feel bad, the council respect ur decision. =)
what had impressed me is that i now find that Pioneers are actually alive and they do feel alot for each other. People speaking up for each other is definitely a heart-warming sight. i do believe that we Pioneers did not went down without a Fight. We came to Lt3 ydae to win our rights. and to a certain extent, i think we did got what we wanted. We did not went to Lt3 for the 'Exposure' we went to win.
Now that the great Hoo Haa on what is happening is subsiding, i began to see that the sports CCAs are putting in much more effort in proving their worth. All the best Pioneers, i do hope this would not be a few days affair.
The school's motto had always been a joke in the Badminton team. while i "lift" i learn, always "serving", always learning. It is true that there are so many aspects of the game that i can't finish learning. Even today during training i had just learnt the way to hold the racquet when i play a net shot. But whats more important to me is the values that i aqquired with this butch of team-mates i have now, and it has nothing to do with badminton, but had shaped my personality and that would never appear in my testimonial but always reflected by my actions.
