Here I am to blog again, not because I have blogged yesterday before, but because I am just bored. Was just thinking about the class affairs. Is it for better or for worse? Hard to tell. After a year, I would say its better and its still bad. Better because I think there is better mixing between cliques. Still bad because I am just like starting to get to know some of the people better. Eh like tianju rightly puts in a lightly amused manner, "Is this a get-to-know-me session?", I find even after 1 year, I hardly know much about the newcomers.
Oh, lets not talk about the fact I already know the RVians in the class pretty well. Knew 3 of them since Sec2, knew 2 of them since Sec 3, knew 1 of them because she's in the same cca as my bro. But overall, almost all rvians have the pretty the same 'cultures'. Influence from rv I suppose. In that respect, I know them better than frens from other sec. sch.
Haha, perhaps it is fate that the class was endowed with clumps of people with differing mindsets and interests. Naturally, cliques and 'gangs' of differing interests appear. And perhaps its due to high concentration of rvians in the class, that the class guys and girls are largely immiscible. They dont mix that well together. So much so, that even the CIP trainer can tell that there is a very obvious gender segregation in the class.
I suppose our class is slightly better off because there are still people who are actively trying the pull the class together. These people have never given up hope that the class might be strongly united one day. Perhaps we are trying to do this so hard is because we have experienced an alike situation, and do not want it to happen again. Obviously, united-ness can only be achieved when all participate. Its like a collection of molecules in solid state; every molecule participates in exerting a strong intermolecular force on all its neighbours. A few guys trying to pull everyone else together can only act like a catalyst. Facilitate but cannot take the place of the intermolecular bind.
One more year to go I suppose. I dunno whether I am sad or happy for this.
