tagbox

Hi guys,
I am not here to scold or lecture anyone, but i would like to give my views about it.
firstly,this is really very lame(but quite funny)You guys are all quarrelling over ENGLISH? are you kidding me? for your information, this is the SLC blog, not the ENGLISH DEPARTMENT BLOG. Yes i know that the posts here are not grammatically correct, and that is because we want to connect with you all using the local lingo, and since we are singaporeans, i don't find it unusual that we use shortcuts in our cyber language. Do give us leeway over this issue. After all, like what mrs Ang says, our batch's english is not good. maybe next time when your batch takes over, you can implement the "speak good english and type good english" initiative in our school and you spearhead by using perfect queen's english on this blog. isn't that better? hahaha
secondly, please do not use the tagbox to flame people here and there because this is really not the purpose for it. the purpose of this tagbox is to share messages and other misc. stuff, and if you guys want to comment about something very "bo liao", just go somewhere else and let go. You people are not the only jokers who read this blog. There are other Deyians who read this blog too, so mind your internet behaviour.
thirdly, since this question is raised, i want to set the definition clearly for the term "STUDENT LEADER". Student Leaders, or what we call SLs, to put it simply, are just leaders. We lead in terms of school discipline(attire, behaviour,etc),in bringing the school through different events(organising, ushering, boosting morale, etc), and most of all, doing the right thing at the worst times. Yes we are people who wear a tie and a badge everyday, but i hope you guys will understand that it is beyond that. If you think council is all about wearing a tie and a badge, i encourage you to quit and leave the council. You shouldn't even be a councillor at all.I know you friends have said things like: SLs all do "sai kang" and all this. And i don't deny that, but tell me, are there any leaders who never had to do dirty jobs? If you can't even stand this kind of duties, trust me, there isn't a place for you in the leadership sector in your career. Carry on being a slacker and get a low pay.
bottomline: we are student councillors because we want to see wrong being turned right in our school, and we want to do what is right.But relax guys, like i said, my purpose is not to pinpoint anyone. This post goes out to everyone. I wouldn't say who is right or wrong( why waste your time on this anyway -_-") but all i will say is to mind your tongue :) let's not see anything like this happen again.
