a few things:

1. did you know that drinking unpasteurised apple juice can cause childhood leukemia? oh, and amongst other things, fried bacon, processed meats and salted fish are also highly carcinogenic.

2. me and tung did the class yearbook page (i did the text and tung did the pics) and as a result i had to spend the whole of monday en garde because half the world wanted to kill me. and hey, i was just being honest man, nothing else. i mean, someone's gotta do the dirty work right? and since nobody else wanted to do the damn yearbook page, it's not my fault that i backstabbed/slandered/insulted the rest of the class in the process now, is it?

3. our class highly pissed off our CT with our lacklustre ORA donation efforts. in fact, half of us handed in practically NIL replies. anyway, i'm personally against collecting money for the ORA. firstly, i think that it's not highly in need of the money- ie there isn't going to be any major catastrophe if it doesn't get the money, apart from a few people not being able to attend RJ, which is quite the opposite of catastrophic, if you ask me. in contrast, there are lots of underfunded charities and nonprofit organizations which could really use the money for better things, such as buying food for poor people and looking after dying old folks. and since people have limited finances and obviously can't donate to every single charity (without ending up in one themselves), they have to be selective about where they put their money. which means that for every donation you collect for the ORA, that much is less likely to be donated to some other cause. think about it- you might be indirectly responsible for some poor old folk not getting his medication! and, even if we should support the ORA fund because of the fact that we're rafflesian and this is a school thing, then i'd like to remind them that for lots of us, filling up the yellow donation card means forgoing a sum of our weekly allowance- and doesn't that detract from the whole purpose of improving the lives of the student population? what's the point of asking people who might potentially benefit from the fund to donate to it in the first place? hello?

omg. i need to sleep!
