let it be


Hi all!
Today is just an ordinary day just that there is an additional 'to' to 'day' :) Haha sorry I was bored.
Anyway I reached school at 6.50 a.m. and went to the Prefectorial Board to get my morning duty from the marker, the person who assign us duties and also the one who 'marks' us.
My duty was to patrol those secondary one and two 's classes.
As I was strolling on those levels, a thought started to cling on onto my brain cells but one of them overwhelmed my whole brain.
Before I start talking about that thought , think about this... What is the first impression you had on prefects, VS prefects? Role models? Bossy people? Or an example of a proper punishment? Think.
'Hmm...it should be role models,' I murmured as I thought deeply.

As you know,some teachers like to punish their defiant students who did not bring or complete their homeworks by getting them to wear their ties for one entire week. Punish, punishment. Wearing a tie for one whole week to them is a punishment but to us, it is an identity . So is this an insult to the prefects?

Next , if there are latecomers, the prefects who are on duty would bring them up to the hall or assembly area (depends on where assembly is held) and they would have to stand by the side, most probably for punishment. We prefects have to stand there too ,and we are not allowed to sit. Whats the difference here? Two bunch of people standing during assembly. One bunch of 'good' students and the other bunch of 'bad' students. Both groups were not allowed to sit, not allowed to relax before lessons . It is as though we are telling those latecomers ,' hey , follow us. stand here for your punishment.'

And the last point , those people who had not brought their ties for Monday assembly, names would be recorded and they would have to do canteen duties which usually takes up 10 minutes.
For us, our duties take up almost the whole recess. Punishment -take up 10 mins ,making sure the canteen is clean. Prefects- taking up the whole recess. It is like after their punishment, they would still have time to play a bit of soccer or stroll around doing random businesses while we had to stand at this area , checking if they smuggle food . In this case, punishment is taking up a third of the recess. It certainly makes no difference here , but fortunately , my class have a day when recess is earlier which means no need to do duties and of course , time for relax and soccer!

At a certain point of degree, people will start disliking prefects, complaining that prefects are too bossy . Students are not allowed to play soccer in uniform so the prefects have to ask them to either change into P.E or leave the field. In such cases , people will start disliking us and ignoring us but this is our job! See, people will dislike prefects but will they dislike those people who get punished ? Lesser chance.

The point is, punishment and prefects are almost the same thing. Standing during assembly, lesser time for recess and wearing ties for two different reasons which I personally think its not fair. Whatsmore , 'prefects' and 'punishment' both starts with the letter 'P' .Let's pick out some words that also starts with the letter 'P'... Pain, peace, pedantic ,polite and pointless.

Pain- the pain of punishment and being a prefect.(both)
Peace- everyone wants peace . (both)
Pedantic- helpful (prefect)
Polite-(prefect)
Pointless-this blog entry is pointless


The ground began to fade as I felt a cold shiver rush through my body. I awoke in a strange realm... LOL haha. Mousehunt~

Ring! I awoke out of a sudden. It's 7.15a.m. which is time to go up to the assembly area.
Just then , I looked around me...
Hudson was smiling, the other prefects were all giggling and enjoying their duties. Wow ! What was I thinking? I like being a prefect too, no matter how unfair or miserable a prefect's life is, I'm still going to carry on with my duties with a smile on my face.
Optimistic. The word to describe life. Always be optimistic, if you are unhappy, nothing is going to change, the clocks will still tick ,the sky will slowly darken and the day will still go on ,so why not stay happy ? I questioned myself. So why not think the optimistic way? I'm a prefect who has not done anything wrong and wearing the tie daily and serving the school in school duties
is my pride.:)

My,my,my...Just forget those unhappiness and the problems are solved.:) :D :P

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. Elbert Hubbard

So let it be...
