it was seriously disappointing today.
to see how AWESOME the attendance was.

Let me make this clear first.
i'm NOT directing this particularly to anyone.




there were a few friends ( i suppose, at least i treat them as my friends),
which i was hopeful of them turning up.
and so,
it was apparent how things turn out huh.


People across the globe are saying how stressful Singapore's education system is,
how wonderful and professional it is,
but what's the point of all this education,
at the expense of having values,
at the expense of being a human?


stop kidding me when you say you need the time to study.
you're telling me you wake up 7am in the morning to study?
woah, i'm impressed.

for those who really did so, i give you the credits you deserved.



and i bet many will come to me and say,

"we don't show our gratitude only on occasions like this, we show the teachers how much we appreciate them during our normal school days, and of course, through the results we get."



so let's think,
even a short day like this,
a mere 1hour-at-most travelling,
plus a couple of hours in school you don't even bother to sacrifice,
then there you are telling me you make the effort to show your gratitude everyday?
woah.

and no doubt,
your good grades will be the teachers' best gifts,
but,
what pain can it cause,
what TREMENDOUS impact can it cause on your grades just for a day?



I don't dare to claim 100% that i know how the teachers' feel,
but i'm sure just be showing up in the morning,
it'll be a better day for them.
it's not easy to wake up that early just to get to school for all you know.

so, please,
even as we seek for higher level of education,
think back on this little acts of ours,
that have effects on others,
especially those who are in debt of.
and all the values our grandparents, our parents hold dear.
