um

because rachel said we can write whatever. im sorry but can yall stop getting so excited when you see maams around school. i mean its ok to feel panic or what but our wa group is getting spammed with alot of "omg i saw maam_____" i know we are supposed to be scared of them but you dont have to make a big fuss everytime you see them. its in a way disruptive to the conversation because the squad might be discussing something important and then everyone is suddenly interested in your story. and then we end up not focusing on what we are supposed to do yay. no seriously we are all human ok what is so surprising about seeing another human pls explain. its getting to the point where it gets on my nerves because we keep getting interupted by these messages so please stop okay thanks.

Hi Hestia, this blog post is gonna be quite long (like usual pfft). Anyways, after today, I kind of looked at what I did and how I treated you guys during squad recess, and I feel remorse enveloping me.
I am truly and very sincerely sorry for shouting, screaming maybe saying some sarcasm that may have offended some of you. I understand that everyone have their own personality and their own way of handling things, and I thought I should have been more matured and understanding. It was wrong for me to shout at you guys, and even more wrong for me to "act" like the "ma'am of the squad" (as some of you tease). We are one Hestia, one squad. In this squad, no one is the leader, no one is shining bright without the others. I am in no rights or position to shout at any one of you, because we are all squad mates, and we have no difference in level (maybe in height).
I know that I am quite rash at times, that I shout at you guys to get things done and going. I should have been nicer and calmer. Everyone has their own pace of working, and we should not force too hard, but compromise and understand.
I hope I have not established an unapproachable and mean impression in you guys, but if I did, please hereby accept my sincere apologies. We are all here for one another, here to help, listen and play with one another, so we should all work hand-in-hand and strive high.
Please again pardon me for having any grammatical errors or inappropriate use of vocabulary. From the bottom of my heart I have typed out this apology note. I do hope that as time passes, we can all build a strong bond.
Anyway apart from apologizing, I wish to mention something as well. I went onto the blog, and saw many blog posts by different squad mates. I have to admit a smile crept onto my face. This has totally proven that it takes time to nurture one's feeling towards another, and I believe that if we all work harder together, we can definitely ace and shine bright as one, as Hestia.
Once again, I hope you all accept my sincere apologies, and thank you for being such wonderful squad mates. Let's shine bright and brace the tough times together, together as one, go Hestia!

Hello:)

Hi :) hehe this is my first time posting (even though I'm in Media and Broadcasting oops) I really want to post something but always don't know what to say :P So hello :) The outdoor parade today was so cool! Did you manage to spot Jannah, Karina and Sheem Yi? Oh and I couldn't recognise Karina in the uniform and her hair was also tied up so I got a big shock when she tapped me. Okay so have a good night's rest and Happy 49th Birthday Singapore! :)
And Happy Belated Birthday Kar Wai!!!

vUt

Because i'm v stressed right now so i decided to read what our iris ma'ams wrote for us during pop. (yes i haven't read it till today oops) I actually didn't want to read it till like a few years later LOL. but it was very touching :p i almost cried o k a y anyways there were some advice inside the letter oho and the predictions they made were also very accurate?

yays tho i'm glad to see other people who haven't posted before posting here cough victoria cough good job. it's nice to see other people post sometimes rather than only ra ch el or karina. although a lot of people still don't post stuff but /o/ 

oh one more thing guise the admin humans decided to have a squad locker as ma'ams suggested us to have one. We'll be keeping attendance lists and extra np stuff like spec hooks in the locker. If like someone doesn't print their attendance list then they can take from the locker. whispers the rule still applies ok so please print :D s/o to Krittika she printed 20+ attendance lists guys clap for her pls thanks. sO the next person whos supposed to print go print yo don't rely on admin too much

Compromising and Understanding

Perhaps these two are the most important values we all need when working as a team. Every one of us will make mistakes, and we may also inevitably get frustrated with those who make mistakes. However, these are all natural, normal and perfectly alright, because not only are they part of our learning, but they are also part of our bonding.
It may seem hard and tough to not make mistakes. So does it mean that we have to be "perfect" and "flawless"? No, a hundred times no. No one of us should try to change our self to someone else, to be the so-called perfect and flawless. Why? Well, squad mates, I'm sure you all already know why. It because we are who we are, we are special and unique, and therefore we are perfect and flawless in our own way. Yet still, how does not changing ourselves allow our self to work better with others? How can we work with others such that no one gets frustrated and hatred war begins? Well, it all lies within to simple words you and I know--compromising and understanding.
Well sure to say, these two may be simple vocabulary adjectives that some of us have learnt in primary school, bit still, how many of us truly understand and also act out the values of this two words? To be honest, guys, I myself also cannot truly and consistently do it. However, we shall all work hard to consistently and persistently portray such elegance. The following may not be the exact dictionary definition of Compromising and Understanding, but to me, this is what they are.
Compromising: is to be understanding and generous enough to forgive and forget, and to continue to care and love for those who make mistakes, no matter what.
Understanding: is to empathise and sympathise for those who have troubles and problems, or even make mistakes, and work together with them, to overcome tough times with them.
Fellow squad mates, it is necessary for us to understand and compromise one another, for the mistakes we do, and the problems we face. We shall never give up on one another, for we are as one, and once one of us fall, all of us fall. All for one, one for all.
Even though the whole squad compromises and understands us, we still must make an effort to improve and put in hard work for the squad and yourself.
At times when we are assigned some task from Ma'ams, and we are required to complete it within a time span, we all may get anxious and worked up, and may unintentionally show frustration. Now at this time, what do we show? Understanding. Then take for example another scenario, we are required to complete something, but group members do not reply fast enough due to some contact difficulty or some other problems. Now what do we show? Compromises. Now guys, we have to understand the difficulties and problems that some of us face, and we cannot help each other at times, but still we must always learn to forgive and forget. Yet still, does it mean that we can continue to make mistakes? No, definitely not. We have to still show gratitude and understanding, by making an effort to be better.
So here, I hope we all can work together towards being compromising and understanding, because we can, we must and we need.
