Monday, October 13, 2008.

i shall take some time off my geog textbook and notes on aid to talk about the most important piece of news received today:

ri and rjc is gonna merge to form ri.

(as if we didn't know that).

so next time if employers ask for my study particulars i'll show them:
2005 - 2008 - RI
2009 - 2010 - RI

Technically we still graduate this year-end.

BUT.

1 - the press released it out TODAY. the exact same day as the students knowing it. Aren't students expected to know the whole merger thing before the sch announces it to the press? And we received it ONLY today. So when I got home my parents ALREADY knew about it from the news.

2 - Why was there an information embargo? we deserve to know so much seeing as we are the products of the school (and we pay for it anyway), yet there was an info embargo. Anyway its rather pointless trying to shut it from the students. If they hadn't realised, they were dealing with the top 3% of Singapore's population, which should have been smart enough to obtain enough info to feed themselves. Not that I'm against them keeping certain info from us, but rather the IDEA that they should keep some info from us.

3 - Now what happens? CCA? To be honest that is my biggest concern. Do I rejoin the same CCA after being honourably discharged? Will Daron and co. get sacked? Will some of my teachers move up? See how little they released it to us, 4 WEEKS before the official school term closes and 4 (school) WEEKS to the implementation of the merger!

Ugh. This is absolutely annoying.
