College Day
I've got a jaw ache from 45mins of Russell Peters :)
So on to some idle thoughts since I'm too high to hit the hay.
I think college life is akin to the newspapers.
We all know that it's the ads that constitute the most expensive parts of the newspaper, yet people often overlook or intentionally avoid them for they serve no apparent purpose, or so they think. College activites are just like newspaper advertisements, as our main curriculum is to the articles. Companies waste resources paying creatives to conceptualise the most attractive ads, just like how various adhocs put in all their time effort and money into making every event as successful as possible.
I believe in the celebration of efforts, and there's so much that can be learnt from all these events, especially from failure. But before I start sounding like a stuffy diplomat, no I'm not encouraging any change of habits whatsoever. It's just the way different people view different things, and to quote Russell Peters, whatever makes you happy :)
Wouldn't life be boring without advertisements? You wouldn't know what's going on, as much. But I guess it doesn't matter if you couldn't care less about the community you live in, which isn't a crime really. And to bring the illustration further I think CCAs are like the Life section. It just adds colour to your newspaper.
On to College Day, here's a brilliant entry from the VJC Moblog that sums up the event as witnessed from those in the hall. One of the best entries yet, now that is what you call the victorian spirit!
It was quite a different story from where i was though. Was involved in taking photos for the Moblog with Colin and was hence at the heart of the action, quite literally. As in I had to go right up to Tharman and shoot him. Hee. I guess the best part was seeing some of the seniors again and speaking to Mrs Dawn Lee for a fleeting second and reminiscing the time i was at the prize table last year.
