from ST: Making friends or making out?
i didnt know that reading ST can make my blood boil too. hahahahahaa. i wouldnt say what this reader has written is all wrong, but isnt it a little too subjective on her side?
i dunno how adults think towards what the kids do nowadays, but isnt this a little too much? over-exaggerated. seriously. it's like my other blog entry which i wrote about this mother who wrote into ST complaining his son couldnt get into pharmacy. omg. think it abt man. what if ur son went into pharmacy, hated it and got CAP 2.0? u will just ruin his life la. and some time ago people wrote in to complain abt what students do in JCs. like poling and taupok.
i admit i hated orientation wk during my jc days. and yesh no one makes friends then. but uni is a completely different thing.
i went to school's famous (or rather infamous) camp and became part of the organising team for the next year. and yesh i was seriously surprised on the first day of camp. all the push-ups, 哥哥我要 crap. i was so seriously shocked. and of course all the pi pa gao and crazy forfeits. but somehow i got used to it after the first day. like how i used to tell my friends, you wont even consider the guys as guys. they are just yet another human being. but somehow it works. it kind of break the barrier btw people. because the forfeits are so jialat, somehow people could bond better.
and like how we tend to be separate into girls and guys, this kind of stuff sort of bring everyone tgt i feel. yes it's crazy. but we bonded better wa.
and she said that her nephews and nieces passed sweets. excuse me, we passed sweet wrappers la. and all the pi pa gao forfeits are so much worse than the push up.
and regarding people who are bad looking will be ostracized. i felt this was even worse in my AC times. during orientation, people were judged by their looks. on the other hand uni was better lor. and this is the truth everywhere. better looking people all tend to be treater better right. if school's a reflection of the society out there, then uni shd too. and i think it's already so much better than the world out there.
and abt her nieces and nephews who couldnt make friends during the camps. which uni student out there do not hang out with their camp/hall/oweek friends? it's those who dont go for camps who end up without any friends right. i mean this is the way uni is structured, it's very hard for u to make friends during school time. u have to make them even before school starts.
and no. sdu didnt give us money to make people do this kind of shit. they gave us money if we promise to do SP ah, mass dance ah. and other normal stuff that involve the guys and the girls to interact. the rest are all for the high.
hahahahaha. and quoting her line 'Are our youth being taught that physical attraction and touching are more important than appreciating another person's character?' this is so extreme. hahahaha. one camp and we are polluting our young minds. seriously. the guys' minds are polluted in army lor.
and 'Moreover, if youth are taught to focus on the heat and sexual attraction of young love, their relationships will never be healthy, wholesome and enriching.' hahaha. we shd show her our 'legs or boobs' tests la. another unsupported fallacious claim.
and she says that cos the camps do not have proper organiser. man. go get those professional ones that serve those stupid corperate leadership camps? this is uni leh.
and on the more objective side. this is university freshmen we are talking about. not immature kids. would reporting to ST work? so what kind of action does this lady want? report to the police? catch all us organising commitees? apparently she puts the blame on sdu. then why not on the society as a whole. we have come to this because we lack moral values. work on CME? start CME from nursery? i dunno.
if u are so scared. just send them to oweek. and see ur nieces and newphews yawn.
and another point. by pushing me to my limits, somehow i could adapt to uni life better. uni though seemingly similar to jc, has this certain different flavour to it. and only camps can orientate you into this environment. and its hills of staircases. urghhh.
okay. i have to admit my point of view is a little too subjective too. but my friends. u all have went through camps. what do u think?
on a side note. walked past lunar with eunice and bertrand just now when i realised eason was having an event inside. hai. let me in!!
