I should be feeling happy, but I'm not.
I guess everyone likes the feeling of being recognized. I'm no exception.
On one hand, I said that I do not want it, but one the other hand, I was quite sad when they announced the results. Maybe that was because I thought I was not that bad. However, it now proves that I'm really that bad.
It have always been that contradictory.
You want it yet you don't want it.
And sometimes I do not mean what I say.
It is just a way of camouflaging.
I really hope that no one will misunderstand.

My last post was dated like 2 months ago.
So I shall blog today!
Today, during LA, we talked about homosexuality again.
Gays and lesbians.
Personally, I feel that there is no right or wrong so why should there be discrimination against this group of people?
They are are absolutely normal, maybe just because it is not common in today's society, that's why people "look" at them in a different manner which makes them very uncomfortable.
Perhaps we should know more about them before jumping to conclusions. I guess that is the least we can do.

Also, we had a talk about teenagers being apathetic (I get easily confused by this word with empathy) about the politics. It was an interesting talk, basically because the speakers were good and engaging.
However, what strikes me most during the talk was when one of them talked about democracy and I totally agree with her. In primary school (just a normal neighbourhood school), almost all of us come from similar backgrounds, a family with average income and live in HDB flats. Thus, we will always get quite excited when we know that any of our classmates lives in a private property. We had thought that it was a big deal then, or even being envious.
Later, when i had a chance to come to nanyang, I realised that it is going to be a very different environment from my primary school's. There will definitely be a lot of people from good primary schools and rich families. Sometimes i just wonder why is it so unfair. Let's not talk about secondary school education as most of us got in through our PSLE marks, our own merit. But what about those top primary schools? They are always situated at places surrounded by private housing and thus children living there will obviously have a higher chance in getting into that school compared to those who live further away in HDB apartments. This will then result them to have a better chance in getting into top secindary schools. Is that democracy? I really wonder...
That's how I learn that life wil never be fair. If it is fair to you, it may not be fair to some other people. So is the "democratic society" we are reciting everyday even practical? That's food for thought.

We got into OM nationals.
Actually, I am very happy as I feel that we had put in a lot of effort.
but I suddenly felt very stressed after reading eileen's sms.
she said we got in because ms lydia teo rooted for us so we CANNOT let her down.
I knew we can do it. But I'm also afraid that there are other groups who may deserved it too.
I knew that I'm being very negative here. But I really don't want to let anyone who is very supportive of us down.
I knew that competition was tough as there were 6 groups in total.
Also, after listening to the comments given, I had a feeling that they wasn't very impressed with our performance.
But it wasn't entirely our fault too as we were only told the day before.
So now let's just hope that we can do a good job by working very hard!
And not to have too high an expectation.
JUST DO OUR BEST!
JIAYOU PEOPLE!

Hello!
This will be my Language Arts blog, though I know it came quite late. Nevertheless, I still got it ready! I think this blogskin is very bright and cheery. I love the colours and design! And I realised that the designer of this blogskin is the same as yiling's. Such a coincidence!
I had decided to make a LA blog as I think that blogging will be much more interesting than writing down in the diary. So here it is! However, I feel really weird blogging in such perfect or standard English as I have been using SMS language, "Hahah" and smiles in the other blog and SMS. In addition, I have to be very careful so that I don't accidentally type "Hahah" or anything like ":)". Maybe I will still need some time to get used to it.
Okay, I shall end here. I will update my blog soon! Bye!
