Code Red - New Teacher Within Radius...

Thanks to yesterday, I was all ready to face today with the Lord! Shalom!

Anyway, today started with the prefects telling me that our prefect cerems are going to be ready by Wednesday and that payment must be made before then. Then Chapel was led by an almost-blind man, preaching about coolness; the downs of the cool and the ups of the humble. THis was followed by the anouncement of a school blood donation drive. The good thing's that this is only meant for the Years 5 and 6! Yay! I don't feel that good with a needle stuck in me for more than 10 minutes...

And we finally found out who's our Computer Science teacher! Same as last year, thought. And as such, we also found out who our CS Rep is! Wei Yang! (Applause) Now there's another photo to add into my collection...

For art, we had to draw our heartbreak/ heartthrob of the cancleation of our OEP using a box as the main symbol. For convenience, we were divided into five tables in the art room. Tim then told me an observation that the five tables contained th five main clusters of the class. L turned to look and true enugh, the tables can be labeled as: The Henry Park Boys, The ACPS Boys, The Rejects and another two that I apparently forgot. Where did I belong? At that time, I ended up being seated at the ACPS table, and such an honour. But I know very well that all the societies would welcome me to join them. I guess you can say I have 'multi-nationality'. Does this put me in the best spot to write another Miggipedia Manual about 'Tribal Rule'? I hope so...

For PC, we learnt how to play a traditional Malaysian drum, which didn'toriginate from there in the first place, but anyway.

Then came Canoeing. But since I just came back from a marathon, they decided to give us 6k only, saying that they'll take things up a knotch from Thursday onwards! Yahoo!

But there's also something I want to talk about. Justin.

Now, I understand that he can really be irritating at times and needs to be toned down then. But day after day, I watch as you all try to irritate him back with vougarities and by 'stealing' his stuff. Now that's a little too much.

People now take too much action on him, making him think that he can do the same to others. He then learns how to say vougarities and tries to hit people who often irritate him time after time, even though they haven't done anything to him yet. Everyone them blames him for performing such harassments entirely on his own accord and gradually, both parties hate each other more and more.

The worst cases in my opinion so far are Shawn Ku, Reuben, Peter, Sanjev and Niranjan. Especially Niranjan. The thing which ticks me off about him is that whenever Justin's fine, he always shouts out, " Erh Lun sucks! Erh Lun sucks!", but when everyone irritates Justin till he cries, Niranjan 'comforts' him and appologises, only to insult him again when he's sober again. If you really hate someone and do not show retreat, at least stay that way and stop confussing others who are watching. Stop lying that you're concerned if you really aren't; it just makes things miserable and unorderly.

I can't write this out in anger, 'cause even I myself am guilty of making excessive fun of Justin. In fact, everyone involved is in blame; Us for endulging in irritating Justin, and Justin for continuing the trend. But all I can say is this. If you insult vougarities at Justin, you're also insulting;

1) Yourself.
The fact that you notice the irritating characteristic means that it's being implanted into memory. And if confronted by the same senarios that spark off the characteristic, you'll do the same thing as well. Look, Niranjan has already interupted class with the words 'Erh Lun', 'Powder', 'Flask' and 'Tabby' many times already. Need I say more.

2) Me.
I'm declared an asperger by councilors and a doctor. That means I'm a diluted version of Justin; closest to the normal side. If you hate authistic people like Justin, you might as well admit you hate me. I know very well how it feels like to be hated the way Justin is right now; an entire class that looks down at you just because of the fact that you're different. You can't even turn to the teachers. They'd just blame it all as your own problem. Dreading to go to school was normal, and only a couble of people would bother to be you're friend. I had to go through this for one whole year in Primary 3, and it was painful. The fact that I see the same kind of pain enflicted on someone else in a worse scenario just shocks me.

3) God.
God created everyone in his own image. Let's say He's a dollmaker, and we're the dolls. Now, the fact that you hate a product, you're directly or indirectly stating that you hate the producer as well. Now looking at it from this point of view, saying Justin sucks is just as good as saying God's bad in being God. That's extremely painful for me to type right now, especially coming from yesterday.

Either that this, it's all up to you. Like I said, I can't scold anyone as I myself am guilty. All that I say is that we should change and stop offending Justin so much. I just pray that this message goes the right way.
