-no title-

Well, so the last post wasn't written by me, as you can see. My dear friend Kuok Ren asked me to paste it on my blog, so i gave him some face and did it! How kind of me. xD

Nah actually, we're just trying to express what we fell towards that 'angel' that Kuok Ren mentioned in his post. Someone who's really pissing a lot of people off and well, pissing a lot of people. If you're wondering who's that person, that so called 'angel', at least in the teacher's eyes he is, ask around our wonderful class and you'll find out.

Oh yea, just want to apologize to all those who read my blog from time to time, sorry for not updating it, i was tooo lazy. I'll try to find some time to update this empty and ugly blog of mine weekly. Alright? ;D

Somthing that happened when i'm not in school

Hi all,

I want to tell all of you something that happened to me today. Well, not exactly to me, as the title notes, I was an innocent bystander, helpless to do anything to help. So, I do what's within my power, blog about it and hopefully the real picture of events will emerge.

Today, during school, 3 students were called to the discipline room as the result of some decision some teacher made without the full picture of things. Apparently, from that teachers point of view, when that teacher entered class, that teacher saw a student wiping another students shirt from behind, and that students shirt was wet. Without really investigating what had really happened, that teacher immediately called both of them to go into the discipline room. Soon, another 2 students were called to go down. Apparently, according to the 'victims' version of events, one of the students had wiped something dirty on his shirt, and then that student and a few others had poured water on his shirt until his whole shirt was wet. What I and others in the class had seen was, a student wiped something dirty on the 'victims' shirt, then, that student helped him to wipe it off. And the 'victim' had called that student to pour water on his shirt to wipe the stain off. Oh well, it wasn't really this exaggeration that made me feel pissed off. It was also the teachers way of handling the case. The teacher immediately called them down to the discipline room without asking the other students what had really happened. There were 30 over witnesses there. Instead, the teacher chose to immediately trust the 'victim' as the 'victim' was 'different'. Now, what do we call this? Discrimination is the word that pops into my head. From that teachers perspective, only the 'victim' was trustworthy and the other 30 over people were liars! The 'victim' seemed like an 'angel' to the teacher... Little did that teacher know that the little 'angel' had once stole another fellow students exam question paper and changed the name to his own because he had lost his own exam question paper and he did not want to lose homework marks! For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton's Third Law of Motion. What does Newton's law have anything to do with this? Since for every action there is a reaction, every reaction must hence be caused by an action. The students would not have done anything to the little 'angel' had he really been an angel. Anyway, what the students did was no big deal either, wiping something dirty on your shirt and wetting it in the attempt to clean it up for you. Yet, the teacher had to call them down into the discipline room and goodness knows done what else to them. It's not like the 'victim' was the only person getting his shirt wet in the whole school with over 3000 students . And about the stain on his shirt, so what? Doesn't our shrits get stained every now and then? As if things couldn't get any worse. But they did. When the 'victim' went down, he nearly made the whole story up saying things like, I did not want them to pour water on my shirt but they still did when he himself had called the other students to help him wipe it up. And worse, he tried to pull other innocent students down into the water.
He claimed that someone else had also poured the water on him, when that someone else hadn't even touched him at all.

You could blame a few people for this. You could blame the student who started it all for wiping something dirty on the 'victims' shirt. But what's the big deal? Or you could blame the teacher for making matters much more complicated when the teacher could have investigated properly first, and maybe at the most put them in the blue card and tell them not to do it again. After all, it was only a dirty stain, not a threat or abuse or anything like that. But no, the teacher HAD to call the other students into the discipline room as the 'victim' was 'different' and that teacher probably thought they were doing that to him cause he was 'different'. The teacher was 'different' too, so maybe, it was discrimination on the teachers part after all. Or, you could blame the 'victim' who could have saved everyone and told a white lie. Then life would be much easier, for the teacher, the students who were called into the discipline room, and even the discipline teachers. So, who to blame?

Honestly yours,
Kuok Ren
