To SixOh
The past few days have certainly seen much displacement. Wednesday was the day that saw Billy and Rachel being forcibly torn from the class, and Da Chuan's sacrificial leaving of the class. It was the day that saw Cheryl and Zhao Rui transferred to other classes, and 5 more newcomers entering: Gaby, Sara, Xin Xue, Colin and Ronald (who's left the class today).
Yet more was to come.
Thursday was the day when the tension in the class escalated during Physics practical, when the topic of class posts were brought up. Or maybe the undercurrents of tension were there all along, just that some of us did not notice it / underestimated it, or preferred not to bring it to light. Now that we've brought up the matter to light, we should work towards a solution, as a class, together. It's something that the class has to solve as a whole, not something that several people have to solve among themselves.
And from this, we can just realise how important communication in a class is. If we had been more open in our relationships and perhaps tried to discuss what we did not find acceptable about the other person openly or more openly, and both parties had communicated to each other instead of bottling up negative emotions, perhaps relationships might have been much better.
So what we can do now is just try to be more open with each other, forgive and forget the past ie bury the hatchet to start anew as much as possible, try and help each other to overcome our flaws by pointing them out to us and giving constructive feedback, and accepting, not denying, but working on the flaws that we have, that others have pointed out to us.
I believe everything can work out. There are always ups and downs, and there cannot exist such a perfect class that there are no conflicts at all.
Conflicts either break us, or make us stronger and more united. Let's hope that through this, we can be inspired to try to understand each other better, and work together to raise the class to new heights! :)
I love SixOh! We'll rock on together!
P.S. I finally booked the chalet-- Aloha Changi bungalow! YAY!
P.P.S. I had spinach flan again today! Whee! Cheese + spinach tastes really good!
P.P.P.S. I HATE FLU + COUGH!!!
