I just realised that I'm supposed to write.
Let's just say it this way. I don't like the way the society is working by I don't hate it so vehemently that I'd want to write about it in public, so there.
I don't believe that we have more political feuds than other societies, let alone the others have none. The hierachy has many loopholes to fill, but there's one big rock that holds everything into place despite all our efforts to change, hindering our actions. (Think a little. It's not hard)
If you hate about a society so badly, just don't care about it anymore. There's no point in writing a blog about it, condemning it in public. You can complain to friends in private but let's keep it at that, shall we?
I was in before I knew what was really going on and now I wanted out. Anyone care to take over? I shall let go of everything that I have with no regrets. Not ever.
I have to admit, I'll never love any society as much as I once did Guides. Yet at least I shall never feel as disappointed as I do now.
Let's leave it at that, shall we?

Puppets
Yes, again about the Court of (Dis) Honour.
If the COH are getting so busy this year, why can't you let the other people have a say in it?
If the COH are the ones doing all the planning, those who know what's going on, those who control, what are the rest?
Mere slave puppets that come and go at your every whim?
Only at times when you need people to carry this, people to donate that, people to work that, do the rest come into mind.
The sad thing about this, it seems to mostly apply to our batch, as we have the most number of members, more"extras".
Join to learn leadership, discipline etc etc. Who learns? Did we have a choice?
Lyn, the PB isn't the only one who has the " It's your fault for not showing your talent out" mentality.
Without all these slaves members, then we really will crumble to the ground.
You won't get things done. Nothing will succeed.
And then I shall kick the rumble of our fallen foundation and smile wryly at your incompetence.
I'm sure I wrote something about this in my space before-same title. But that was a poem, this is all said out nice and clearly for you, no thinking required.
Oh yes, Worm, you said your plan couldn't go on because of all the incoming projects. Then why is it always the same people doing it??
First thing that needs change:
HIERARCHY
Or no requirement of one.
Yes, I'm pissed. Don't ask why.
Wait, DO ask.
Quote from last year, while walking out of school:
ZM: I love guides but I hate the people there."
JL: I love the people there but I hate guides."

Excerpts from Emails(2)
Since a certain author never posted her email, I'll do it on her behalf =D:(with some alterations done la)
About the guides, not that i wan to control. every1 of us know there's a problem inside. if now we dont do something, how should we survive when we are in form 5? how should we survive without our seniors? i can just dun do anything and just sit there, watching this becoming worse n worse, bt i know i cant. That day i quit prefect because of guides, the main reason is prefect takes a lot of my time. i chose to leave my friends n cried because of guides. from form 1 til now, i know all of us loves guides. its just something happen inside that made us become kecewa. then we all will have no heart for guides soon.
i won 't want to control n i dun like b controlled too. I'm a human like u all, i will still have the same feeling with u all. in f4, i can c that everybody has their own talent. n of course, sometimes we might not c it. the relations between us is good, we can play, we can talk. but cum to work, we cn do together, but we cant do well. u n lyn aso know what makes this happen. 1st, we r too dependent. when a problem cum, 1st thing cum to our mind is nvm, there r sum ppl that wil solve it, wun die d. u would say i'm a optimistic, bt i wil see wat case is that. then, we din reli think about a problem deeply n find the way to solve, thats why problem will never b solved.
i appreciate all f4 guides. they r definitely good n friendly. bt f4 d u know? we need to grow up n no more only enjoy n play everyday. i know study is important, even mine do so. if i din study well, there's no chnce for me to continue study after f5. my family wun afford to pay, even my big bro d they aso cnt afford. so at last, i will still set my study for the 1st place. bt we r in badan uniform, such a big society n always appear in the national level. even if dun lik guides, there's something call responsibility as being a guide. what i wan is just kerjasama from everybody n the main thing, semangat. jus simple as that.
who will let the society u joined die on your hand? i waited, i waited a chance to make u all wake up. finally, the thinking day project cum. i tot that would b the chance, but later on there lots of projects cuming none stop. i dun wan to force u all cos everybody already being so stress of it. i jus wan to let u all noe, pls pls pls stand up. its correct, we r jus a society wif all the girls. bt god din say girls cnt do things! how cum those grls in other society cn do well bt nt us? everybody of us cn b the leader, even u cn b, its jus dat u wan or nt.
i hope u all wil understand wat i mean n i hope i cn help u all. i wil always stand here n waiting u all cum back.

Excerpts from Emails(1)
Me and Alicia were emailing and somehow the subject of Guides came up so..here's what I have to say
Control us? Who's us? I mean, no matter where you bring it, it always comes back to those same people - the COH. That's one flaw in our system. Not that I am underestimating our batch's COH or anything but don't people need a chance too? Look at our year's BSMM, or any other uniform body for that matter, their comradeship highly outweighs us. We've been separated so fast. At the end of Form 2, there was already these 2...2..2...communities, divided into the Court of (Dis)Honour and those not privileged, skilled or outgoing enough to be in it. I was so naive last time, just going on about as a little fresh new guide, doing what's planned, never questioning, never going further. Le Yi used to ask why am I so obsessed with Guides last time. lol= = Then, the AGM occurred and the dividing line on our batch was drawn. And my perspective changed. The feeling of it all changed. That innocence was never there anymore.I guess this is the start of our political feud. What makes us different from the others is our amount, look, all seniors we seen before us never had this many members so they knew each other better, worked better together and had more fun together(created more conflicts too). With our numbers, it seems harder but it can be accomplished, yet we failed at this. When have we done anything as one batch, hanged out as a batch, faced our troubles as a batch or accomplished anything as a batch? Answer- Never. I asked you whether we had any photos signifying our batch, what was your answer? No. I think you would have read Yu Song's post with all those photos. Reality or an exxageration, they really seem very united. Why aren't we?
