The Air Conditioned Classroom
Perhaps this is reminiscent of Cherian George's famous work but a lamentable parody it might be, i certainly believe it to be apt in describing our class's current scenario; and with a shameless lack of modesty, i would claim to be affiliated to Cherian George for after all, he was once a student in HCJC as well.
The air-conditioner, ubiquitous and even named the best invention of the century by Lee Kuan Yew himself, not that his frail bones would be able to enjoy the bitter cold any longer anyway, dominates the ceiling in just about any classroom we walk into. Its omnipresence does seem to make us take it for granted, a resource to be drawn upon as we will and damn the consequences it wreaks on the environment; but no, i am not here to fuss over saving the Earth, let's leave the Green Club to settle that. Nevertheless the issue i am bringing up is of paramount importance as well, something that threatens the very stability of our class, affecting our welfare and if dealt with improperly, might well sunder the solidarity we are and cast the remnants into accursed oblivion. Yes i do understand that i overdo the melodrama but heck, you get the point.
The crux of the issue? The bloody temperature. Oh yes Singapore is a graveyard for just about any Eskimo who ventures here but that doesn't downplay the fact that even though we grew up in a tropical climate, we still have much to gripe about when it comes to the sweltering heat. Hailing from two different entities, its certainly impossible to avoid skirmishes, and it does seem that we are having in our hands now is about to break out into a full scale war that would obliterate whatever fragile strands of tolerance we actually have of each other. He's hot, she's cool; seemingly out of place such a statement is but i believe you grasp its inherent meaning. For all the air-con is doing to the classroom's atmosphere, one thing is certain; it does seem to cause the frost to encroach over the very heart of the class. A chilly political climate you would say, and i certainly agree on that pun. Certainly the air-conditioner was made to cool things down, not heat things up, but in this case, it seems to be malfunctioning real terribly. Too cold for comfort perhaps, but would you rather have it too close for comfort?
Oh yes, Cherian George's own book does seem to cover the aspect of control; something the air-con grants us, being able to manipulate the surrounding temperature with the mere depression of buttons. Nevertheless this point is moot; there has been little room for debate. After all, with our all-too-fabulous CT, control is really at record high levels don't you think? Honestly, there isn't nothing much to curse about that, for as people say: shit happens; so bear with it.

Hello A12 :D katherine here :D :D
Hmm I’m being random, just wanna share some clips with you guys. Assuming not many of your primary schools (unlike mine, & I know rulang primary & teck ghee primary too) have this CCA called, "rope skipping", I shall hereby introduce to you this very cool sport :D
& NOOO, rope skipping isn’t JUST about holding a rope in your hands & JUMP.
Big mistake.
Because THIS is Jump Rope ...
p.s. NONE of the videos are fast forwarded!
Talk about Extreme Sports, here you have it. Fyi, the usage of two ropes intertwining to skip is called Double Dutch. It’s damn fun, really!
Reminds me of my primary school times haha, yes I was once in the school team =X But of course we weren't so pro la! Hmm, this would be the primary school level I suppose:
p.s. don't laugh at the intro okay.
& you’d be surprised, but there are world championships too!
And when this becomes an urban craze D: Hahaha imo this is the best vid!
& once again, p.s. NONE of the videos are fast forwarded!
we should have chosen this for GEMS hahaha! =X It'll be damn fun to see everyone whacked by ropes lol.
Alright gambante for PI :D
Ciao!

hello people, hopefully we'll be able to get the class-tee printed by this week. then we can wear it for GEMS on 8 May.
so, basically just ignore the 'f' and 'b' on the diagrams. the side with the horse's sillouette is the front, the slogan's the back. see which designs you prefer (or want some changes made to it), and tell me asap so that we can settle on one finalised design.
somehow the shirt seems very plain the more i look at it :/ any ideas how to make it better?
