Kimberley here. Okay, I swear upon my life that I did not reveal Kar Er's blog URL to anyone and I realised the amount of tags in her blog that says that they are pissed with her. Okay, whoever who is reading this now, please stay neutral and calm.
Whatever Kar Er blogged from January till this day, it is what she felt and thought I feel, and if there is anything thats untrue about what she posted, I believe you have the rights to correct her. And I know the very next day after all the tags in the class tagboard, everyone (almost) was pissed at her and her friend. I feel that Furlicia, Kar Er and us have to be blamed for all this today. Maybe Furlicia tried to grab our attentions to help Kar Er, and maybe Kar Er misunderstood everyone and blogged the "wrong" stuffs on her blog, and maybe we were not understanding enough? When I came to school at 7:15am that day, I saw Kar Er crying so bitterly and shouting at me and all, I knew the matter was getting out of hands, and I have to inform Ms Tan about it. What if she decides to attempt suicide like for real? To some, it may be a childish act, but to others, it may be the world is seriously coming to an end. I was expecting the class to be honest when Ms Tan talked to us, like telling what they don't like about Kar Er and all. People whom I expected to speak up did not. I hoped that the class talk then would be able to change the ways people see Kar Er and she would be able to change herself too. Days after the incident, I know people are trying hard to accept her, but still dislike her but just did not really show it. Then I don't know how people found out her blog and Furlicia's blog, and then people go all pissed over it.
I am not saying that you don't have the rights to be pissed. You do. Perhaps its Kar Er's fault, for misintepreting some of our actions. Because I am NOT Kar Er, nor am I the people whose names are mentioned in her blog, so I don't know what exactly happened. I cannot believe just Kar Er, because she may be lying, nor can I believe just the people whose names are mentioned, because they may be lying too. Those who read Kar Er's blog, should have read about the part where she says Temasekians don't care. I know you all are angry, when I first read, I was very angry too. Just because she did not feel our care, doesn't mean we don't.
On the first day of school, Ms Tan asked me to take care of her. I was very sad (I don't deny) because I thought I would be able to sit with friends (1E). I also found a burden at first, but changed my opinion because I was like that when I came last year too. All crying and all, and wanted to die (really!) because I don't feel safe in school. I was sent to the counsellor, and I really hated the counsellor and even blogged bad stuffs about her in my blog (private =P, if you happen to find it, then find lor, I very long never blog already). Until the day, Ms Tan and the counsellor told me I have to transfer because I cannot adapt, and no point staying here. I was very like scared and sad and everything, because I don't want to go through the same stuffs again, so I tried to act happy then. Then I really became happy because, I also don't know how, but I just became like friends with people like Jolene and all, so probably that was good. Because having gone through all this, I can understand how Kar Er feels, and how you all felt too.
Seeing all the reactions the class and Kar Er have, I think I should share with you all some quotes/ mottos that I live by in life (credits to whoever that taught me them, or wrote them):
"Change yourself before changing others"
"Do not do unto others if you do not want others to do unto you" (Mrs Govin's!)
"Put yourself in other people shoes"
"Think of others"
"If you are unhappy for 60 minutes, you lose 60 minutes of happiness" (read in some motivation card)
SO, I hope that, after reading this, everyone can try to be calm and stay neutral, and can try their best to make Kar Er feel happy, and making themselves happy too of course. (I think its making no sense now, because I am off-topic)
Aiya, whatever lah!! I am organising this "class talk" again on Thursday before band concert, 6pm at our class table in the canteen. Hopefully, YOU (whoever is reading this, and feel that you need to tell someone how you feel about Kar Er) will make an effort to come alright. How this thing is going to be:
- tell me what you don't like about Kar Er (she will be present if possible),
- find out the causes,
- we will speak to Kar Er,
- then she will tell us how she feels and thinks (we can correct her if possible),
- everyone promise to stay neutral and be nice
- OFF TO CONCERT!
Okay? I don't want people to think of me as a busybody/ "think she so holy/great" / whatever, because I really really really want everyone to be happy and be like 1E, so crappy and happy.
Will meet whoever is reading this at the canteen our class table at 6pm on Thursday!!
