Actually, I dun give two hoots about this stuff, but it has grown over time, so...here I am giving my opinions...
If you want to communicate with us, I trust that CCA can be sort of a medium for both parties to do so. There's a thing: Group Interaction. Have you guys/yr 3s thought that group interaction are not important now that we are "bonded"? Sorry if i misinterpret this abolishing of group interaction, but seriously, last time when we had the 30 min group interactions set aside, to now what? 15? 10min? heck, there was one time when we were about to have our group interaction thingy, it was gone when someone said:" I WAN EVERYONE OF U TO GO DOWN FOR PT NOW!" I am not saying that other stuff are not important or that we are well-versed and very good in other aspects. All I am saying is, even something as small as a 15min group interaction session plays a part in managing 'discipline' and 'cohesion'. Ok, maybe not discipline, but surely COHESION?!?! Ok, call me overreacting, but I am truly puzzled why you guys have taken this stuff away from us. May be to add in extra footdrill or first aid for us. Thanks, we appreciate it. (Maybe)it is becus of this taken away so-called 'priviledge', causing this tension to accumulate, leading to a conflict between the two parties.
I dun ignore the fact that we did wrong lah. The thing is that: we are seniors and so are you. We should not do wrong stuff (occasionally and accidentally doesn't matter)Not saying that we should have our own way lah of course. Is that, u seniors are setting not a good image for us wad. We are allowed to talk to non-SJ personnel during CCA non-break time? Is not a matter of priviledge or we deserve it or not, is a matter of yuan2 ze2. I think.
Ok, peace now. Lets' not have a Saint John mass quiting session. we join to make more friends. we join to heal people. Lets' make this healing physical and emotional too. Pro Ulitate Hominum. For the Service of Mankind. Cheers everyone.
P.S. Dear Wrk, on some part of the speech, I use 'we'. If I said anything which doesn't coincide with ur thinking, you are free to change it. Take care and good luck for the common test. THE LAST SENTENCE APPLIES TO EVERYONE :)
