I am not going to bother striking out my post. I do not care if you think my post is harsh. I do not care if you feel I am talking about you and feel indignant/angry/sad. Whatever, you made me feel that way when you did the same so why should I bother?
I don't think its very fair for you (all) to feel so indifferent, so nonchalant during our emotional breakdown on Thursday. I am not even going to say who. Firstly, please get your facts right first before giving us that ATTITUDE. We certainly do NOT take things for granted. Yes, we know we are fortunate, we are lucky. We have talked about this so many times in our own batch gatherings. THANK YOU if you feel we are not appreciative enough. Is that better? Makes you happier? Yes? No?
Sometimes we may skip some practices. But let me emphasise this: WE do not skip practices because OH I HAVEN'T FINISHED MY HOMEWORK or OH I HAVE REMEDIAL! I skipped my Thursday math remedials so that I do not go late for dance which is very important since I am failing my math. I gave up my homework time to go for practices on Sunday. Yes, i know everyone is giving up their time and that we should not complain and stuff. YES! we do not forgot your commitment but it seems YOU are forgetting our commitment. Maybe its human nature to only think about ourselves and forget about others because it seems thats the case for everyone.
Then, I have this problem to solve: my parents. Sometimes, I feel like a sandwhich. The top slice of bread is my parents and the bottom slice is CCA and I am the tomato in between the two. I realise and I hope you realise, there can only be one TOP priority. You cannot have both. 鱼与熊掌不可兼得。If you try both you will only end up failing both. But the problem is, I do not know which one to choose. As a student, your top priority is of course your schoolwork and that is of course what your parents think. But I do admit CCA is also very important. I know it will stay with me for four years and it inculcates a passion for dance in me. Its not that I refuse to put CCA as top priority but do I have the energy? the power? the authority? the 'yes' from my parents? NO! You do not understand my parents. My dad has threatened that if I cannot spend enough time on my schoolwork, he is going to stop me from going to dance and cancelling my ballet. I wonder what he is going to do when I show him my report card which says I have failed all my exams? Maybe my parents are just different from yours which is why you don't seem to have this problem. Maybe you are older which means you are free to make your own decisions and bear your own consequences.
I guess ranting and ranting is not going to help anything. But I just want you to know that you have MISUNDERSTOOD US SERIOUSLY D: I don't need any sorrys but I just want you to stop despising us.
oh and great... my mom doesnt allow me to go sentosa at night. Even after much persuasion she refuses to budge. She is not scared I will get abducted but she is scared I will drown there. There has been many cases of people (who can swim) who have drowned there because sentosa is a lagoon and there are under currents which can push you far out into the deeper waters. There are no lifeguards or anyone who can save me (not even my mom). See! I told you my parents are different from yours. My parents love me more than yours do.
