Friendship: For better or worse (Part 1 of 3)

Dear struggling child,

Have you quarreled with a friend lately? Have you been hurt by people close to you? A slip of tongue, a moment of folly... whatever it is, there you lie, heart pierced right through. No, not by cupid's arrow but by a close friend's hurtful remarks or unthoughtful actions. If that happened recently, probably it still hurts now. Even if it was sometime ago, you may think that you have healed but out of nowhere it haunts you even as a faded memory. Do you have a way to deal with it?

I will not act ignorant here, it has been affecting me badly to see many of you going through times of sadness/rejection/depression like these for various people and various reasons. And worse, you put on a strong front and nobody could see through that and everybody thought you were fine. Meanwhile, you thought nobody care. The truth is: people do care when you allow them to know what is going on.

I speak to you now as a person with no intentions to barge and probe curiously but still wants you to cheer up despite the setbacks you are facing. (end of part 1)

Part 2

(Part 2)

We all desire close relationship, we cherish friends who are closer to us than others. While I have nothing against close friendship, please be careful of the nature of the friendship. Friendship can be healthy or unhealthy, even close ones. In fact many of you will agree that close friends hurts most when betrayal happens. Conversely, think of the nice people around you whom you share a shallower relationship; it feels sweet even you are not close to that person.

Close and healthy friendship/group is a gift. A gift is something that you cannot demand or manipulate in order to obtain it. People get hurt when they try too hard to close up the gap when both parties are not ready. You end up with a closeness that cannot be sustained and you even have to betray your own personality in order to gain acceptance. This is unhealthy. And it can turn really bad after some time.

For close friends, there is nothing wrong about meeting less often. I can sense many of you are worried that if you don't catch up frequently, you will lose them. I met with my childhood friends recently, the last time we met was four years ago. In the span of these four years, I think of them every now and then, I'm sure they do likewise but we never contacted one another until this Chinese New Year, we were all free to meet and we just met. We had a great gathering. Healthy relationships are able to endure the test of time. (end of part 2)

18th Feb: Class Photo

Good news: Finally, class photo taken. Bad news: I miss out three of you because of the Volleyball finals, so sorry but having said that I would do it last week I didn't want to go back on my word. Anyway your form teacher is no professional photographer... lol (so you didn't miss much?)

For sk, Sze Min and Candy, here's the consolation: Just receive another piece of good news: The actual class photo (by professionals this time) is scheduled on 1st April... yea, will have a hard time convincing you that it is NOT an April Fools' joke. Hey its for real ok! I'm glad we've kind of rehearsed today. Let's be more enthu and bring some props for our funshot on that day... sunglasses, funny hats, wigs, robes, bubble machine... ya BUBBLE MACHINE I say again.

Commercial break1: Some time ago, FT2D came to me and suggested that D stands for Decepticon, I was against the idea because she is my good friend and I don't want her to be bad guy Megatron. Then it dawned upon me that it also implies 2A will become some kind of sworn enemy with 2D. Bad idea (though the title of Optimus Prime feels kinda cool)

Commercial break2: Today at FRC, Guan Shin and Wei Shen told me if 2B stands for 2 bull something, then 2A stands for 2 Asomething... FT replied "I actually thought about it but eventually stopped at 2C because it was too unbearable!"

00h... that's really pushing the limits of an official class blog.

All the very best to everyone,study hard and achieve good results! :D
Make the teachers proud of us and of course,by doing that,you will definately be very proud of yourself!
It's time to pull up our socks and get the subject we fail to do well,to get it figured out and score well! Met up with any problems in that particular subject,can always consult the teachers or your friends. :D
Most importantly,take very good care of your health and drink real lot of water. There is alot of people in our class coughing,having running nose and of course,fever.

Lastly,
ALL THE BEST TO EVERYONE!

With Love,
JiayuY

HELLOS :D how was your CNY ?
hope you had a fun time then ,
but now , we have to study hard for our COMMON TEST !
the common test will be next week ,
so everyone have to MUG ! (:
don't follow me , i have kept failing my maths tests .
GOODLUCK FOR COMMON TEST ~

Chinese New Year Greetings.

I post this thread for all to send your Chinese New Year well wishes to one another. Just add comments....

Happy New Year, may there be lots of goodwill, peace, love and joy in togetherness for this class we call 2A.

Notice: Temperature taking exercise on 15th Feb 2008

This post is edited on 11th Feb. You need to read it again.... edited parts are in red and blue

Latest news: Temperature taking exercise will be held on 15th Feb (next Friday). Instruction passed down by the Vice-Principal is to bring your thermometers on Monday and Tuesday, latest by Wednesday. I will be collecting them and report to VP. (So that we can sleep in peace on Thursday night and not worry about looking like a fool on Friday.) Even Class Exco is spared from this task due to its seriousness. I say this with a "bitter mouth and old lady's heart" please please cooperate.

(Previously it read....If you need me to keep it for you please do so, otherwise have it ready a few days before and most importantly, on the day itself.)

Those who do not have a thermometer (quite unlikely). Use your CNY money to buy (enough to buy a dozen or more) so that there is absolutely no reason not to have one on that day.

Official launch: 1st Feb 2008

I'm glad the launch was ok (not spectecular, but just fine) today. We have only just started and we'll work towards a class blog that all can be proud to have. Just a few points of feedback to summarise it all.

1. Please nominate yourself or your classmates that you can trust to run this blog.
2. Comments is now set to open to all so you don't need to log in to write comments. (Try it)
3. The tags Cherylene put it didn't quite work... I'm still working at it.
4. Please be patient.

Lastly, as this is not a personal blog, expect and accept diversity. Meaning at times (like now) it will be rather wordy, at other times full of pictures/videos, yet other times it will get a little quiet and more often than not the layout/skin/whatever will change quite a lot.
