Racial Harmony Day 2009






Although I should rejoice for the efforts of Sin Fang, Johan, Firas, Henry, Jason and Joshua (partially), my joviality was diminished upon seeing the rest of the class donned in their usual beige and grey uniforms. The class integrity seems brittle at this juncture; perhaps it has never been in existence. To each his own, the motto reigns.

However, can the class be blamed in the first place? The disparate individual seeks to craft out his (unisex term) own space with communal values only extolled and lived out when one has fulfilled his own basic needs. As a teenager undergoing tremendous changes to mentality, psychology, emotion, physicality, and spirituality, can one fault a teenager for his lack of social bonding above individual's solitary need?

No man is an island, this I believe holds true for all. I can only hope, against hope that the remaining time spent with each other will eventually create a bonding that lasts a lifetime. An impossibility, an ordinary man would deem, but dreams give people hope and perhaps, an eventual materialization of a near perfect solidarity of 2E2. We shall see for time tells all.

Pity, less than a quarter of the entire faculty is dressed in ethnic costume. It may be disappointing, but I feel it is a waste when it is the last chance for the class to wear something different before some go to another class next year.
