I'm going to blog about something that I've long wanted to talk about. Something blatantly happening in my alma mater. That also explains my sudden change of font style to one of a more serious and formal tone and register.

Anyway, these days other than listening to songs, I have also been visiting many blogs. Some which leave a more indelible mark in me are blogs like edwinheng.blogspot.com and vayaputada.blogspot.com. Well I'm sure by now all of you should know what happened. Basically, CHS did shockingly badly in the O Lvls 2005, causing many neighbourhood schools to overtake us in terms of rankings. Well at least that's what I heard.

Now the school is undoubtedly in a big mess. Firstly I really pity the school's management especially the principal Mr Lee. I am sure he feels really confused about the school's present situation. Ever since the 'black friday', the school has changed alot. Not only physically but psychologically too. This can be obviously seen by the change in the students' attitude and their views about the school. A school once so confident, so vibrant, with a spirit so inexhaustive, now turned overnight into a population of disgruntled students thrown into a deep abyss of lost desire and purpose. Even the teachers are not spared from such a sudden twist of fate. Nothing is certain, and nothing is forever. Perhaps everything high will fall, and the cycle goes on and on.

Nobody seemed to understand why our batch did so badly. It might not be that disastrous on an individual perception, but though I have not gotten news of the school's average L1R5, it appears to be so disastrous people who know it do not even want to reveal it. But whatever it is, it is all over. It is definitely going to be more disastrous if the students were to continue and wallow in self-pity and uncertainty, and things will turn to hopeless if rebellions and pessismistic attitudes don't get eliminated from them. Well for all those who still don't know, this is what is happening in school now!

You got to save yourself. Everyone knows that and its a fact. It is a personal setback for all of us. But life must continue. Even though we, the batch of 2005, will not return to CHS the same glorious and glamarous way our seniors did, I have to say it will always be my alma mater, and I, without a doubt, have spent my happiest days of my lives there. The memories will always be there, it cannot be erased. But it is up to you to create new and better ones for the future. I believe you will. The school is in a very vulnerable state now. And if you are a student of it, you should know what to do. Tears have been shed, even dried. This is an opportunity. Take it and use it well, people.
