You know, we had to go for an NE tour yesterday. Let me tell you, it was way boring. We visited An-Nahdhah Mosque, which is in Bishan, some Hindu temple which is at Toa Payoh, but apparently was closed, this Shuang Lin Monastery at Toa Payoh, and the HDB Hub. Ok, it wasn't that boring, but it was enough to make us all moan and groan. Like hello?! What's the point of making us go to places like this? How is it that some classes got the chance to go to places like the Sook Ching Massacre Site (or whatever the name is) and the Supreme Court? I thought we're supposed to go there since majority of my classmates take History. It's like so unfair that some got to go as far as Changi while we lingered around central Singapore. This is in no way an NE journey! This is like imposing a death sentence to us, and make us look at things like the Fabric of the Nation (oh for heaven's sake, that's like eons ago!). Like we're supposed to grow horns with the name 'Patriotism' on it. All we could do was stare at the fabric thingie and comment and be caustic about it, like how ugly or 'nice' the images are. You wouldn't believe what a childish bunch our people are (excluding me). Tell me, is Hello Kitty an apt representation of Singapore? Tsk tsk. I saw bears and more bears on the cloth, some looking spastic, while others looking deformed. Severe case, I tell ya. And what's even worst was that we had to feast our eyes on 23 of those big panels with the fabric stuck on it. I feel so bad for the community, but hey, I gotta be truthful about this.

They always say that history repeats itself. I guess that's true to an extent.

toodles!
