today was FUCKED UP whatever.
YIJIE THE LOVE and I were doing gate duty prolly for the third day running. Initially all was fine bright cool and happy until Ms JesseLim came.
*P.S: I just dont get why there's issues with gate duty.It has always been FINE and would continue to be.To date, I still dont see that the fault with our council duties. Felt really bad about getting john and exco into trouble. Sorry guys. However my point is that many rules in school in hard to justify and when problem arises the blame gets shifted around.

Firstly, regarding front gate booking time. According to Mr. Fonseka, the booking time is 7.25am but leeway is given when flag raising starts slightly late. Eg. 7.30am on MOST days. Moreover, to our knowledge, it's that time at which we should start booking people. Apparently today we were told that we should start booking people who the national anthem starts. Irony: we are supposed to book at the main gate & we totally can't hear the PA system AT ALL Im amazed.

Secondly, I do agree that in some aspects,that teachers should be given priviledges over students(eg. to take the lift etc), Im totally fine with that. Im also agreeable that we would lock the side gate at 7.25am sharp according to the school GO clock be it rain or shine. I also do not mind waiting for a teacher or two just before we close the gate, no problem. Despite that I was faced with a veryvery interesting statement: "You all should close the side gate at 7.25am sharp and wait behind the gate without locking it. You all can wait there until 7.30 or so and open the gate if A TEACHER COMES BY." I believe we probably have different reporting times, but if we consider using the sidegate a priviledge, ALL should not be given the priviledge of entering after 7.25am.

Thirdly, refering back to point one, if people at the front gate would probably get say a minute or two of leeway on some days, WHY SHOULDN'T PEOPLE AT THE SIDEGATE BE ENTITLED TO THE SAME PRIVILEDGE? LOCK THE GATE JUST BEFORE THE NATIONAL ANTHEM STARTS THEN :) Anyway as secondary school students, I believe that students are mature enough to practice personal responsibility. If they want to hide in the toilets for i-dont-even-know-what reason, and by some very random unfortunate chance, they meet a mishap, does it mean that it's the councillor's, who probably let he/she in as he was one min late,fault? IF SO I'VE NOTHING TO SAY. oh, it was the bus driver's fault that i was late because he pulled over and waited 30 secs for the old lady to board the bus. HEHEH.IRONIC LINE.
