Cooperation

Good work with College Day, guys! And a big thanks to all the performers who came to help out after the event even though you guys were excused from helping...it was really nice of you and the whole class loves you for that I'm sure =D

I'm thinking of our "production line" scene right now as I type this...how the chairs were passed from one end of the audi to the other end in less than a minute because everyone helped out =) I think that was truly an example of how our class can work together so well to achieve greater things isn't it? And we can apply it to our upcoming exams hahahahaha.

Starring our ever scandalous couple (Hannie and his wife) in the picture.

Next up, Racial Harmony Day! The organising comm has already sorted everything out and now I'll leave it to Junyang to brief you guys about allocation of work duties. Do take note that our deadline to complete everything is within one week after our econs paper though. Teachers rushing us for it liao.


Anyway, just to share something interesting I found online:

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it.

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping - they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So, before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life (nor are video games). In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
