I noticed that Celina really hates her parents (by reading her blog). I must say, that, I totally agree with her. Why do parents expect us to be perfect, get good grades and stuff? It doesn't make sense. And they treat us (or at least, some of them) like as if we're P1 kids and we can't take care of ourselves. Look at Stanley. He's allowed to stay home alone when his mother goes overseas. Now that's TRUE freedom!

But I do not completely agree that teachers should also follow the school rules (forum). In my capacity as a forum moderator, I must comment that teachers are our superior (to me, some teachers) and we should listen to them. Yes, I agree, some rules, like the "no pony-tail" rule, are quite harsh, but others, like cutting your hair, plaiting it (if it's long), and tucking in your Shirt/Blouse/T-shirt is all for the sake of helping us establish a sense of identity. Or should I say, the NAN HUA identity.



Quote of the day: "Seriously, I think, even Ah Kheng's lesson is not as boring (or at least is isn't to me now). Here I am, cooped up at home, going totally, totally, totally insane with Boredom, and my parents don't allow me to go out! It's not like as if I'm that young right? Like please, I've finished my PSLE, I didn't fail it, nor did I do that badly and I can take care of myself. SO WHY CAN'T THEY BE MORE UNDERSTANDING AND ALLOW ME TO GO OUT?!?!? At this rate, before I've even finished Junior College, they would be attending my funeral. It's strange how parents like to look at the bad side of their children and the good side of other children." - Celina Ng
