i love block a

hais.
been thinking about the block these few days... about what block a culture is and all that..we don't really have a very distinct culture..that's in my sense..it's just like that..it feels a bit different from others..but i can't really define what it's about...or do we even have one...?
quite true..hj was saying how our abtch had quite a lot of potential but we never really did release it fully in some way...how to phrase it...we;re still somehow fragmanted in some way...though i know i still can mix around with people from the different levels...gaza..somehow ok...level 3..cos yup...lolitas..haaa..level 5..the level i stay on...:) level 4..somehow can mix..cos of various reasons...buaya week...swim team...geyao..weiming councillor..chee kiang..cos of singapore studies module :P ...level 6..the uncles..cos of sndcc..and fufs..cos got swoc..to a certain extent.
that's on a more personal level. i feel that i'm able to interact ok with them. i can't say i'm close..but ok. but on the general level..the block isn't as bonded as i wished it could hav been. it's been an issue i've thought about many times. but many times i've attributed it to how different the various groups are..
i'm rethinking my stand somehow.....things can be changed....somehow mayb time and energy ran out for me towards the second sem...i was rethinking my year 1...sem 1 i still felt that the block was somehow together..mayb cos there were more blockbased activities..even for laura's farewell..i could take the trouble to ask people from each level to come...block suppers were still okay..somehow..we had more dinners together in the comm hall as a block...
sem 2 saw a change...and somehow with sp..we lost our dining area...and ihg...made it such that we didn't have dinner together..:P maybe we should start it out again..6 30pm...dinner..set a time for dinner...such that we have time to talk and bond over dinner...have outings...mayb a few more..but i think the acers should be informed more in advance.... such that we could get a confirmed attendance and have a reasonable number of people ...at least most..? block suppers could be more organised...and more information for acers....in advance? i think acers should be more informed and not kept in the dark about events until like 2 days before or soemthing like that?
it will be quite sad to see block a go down....and i must make it a point to help in whatever way i can...hopefully when the new block head comes up....let's see how we swocs can help too..it's such a fortunate thing to have joined swoc and come to know these 3 other fellow acers better...:)
it's true lah..we're too cooped up in our own comfort zone..we don't make much of an effort to really mix with the other people....but...at the same time..i don't really know how to step into another person's room and just start talking..:p haa...:P funny...but we're too exclusive a group..in some sense...too sheltered? haa..i just thought that the different groups were very distinct in their cultures and ways such that it was almost impossible to really gel them together...but somehow i'm rethinking my thoughts. challenging my narrow-mindedness.
why not? it's possible...and i believe we can do something about it. let's see who steps up as block head...and we'll see how we can work together. :) and let's see how things go...lolitas can think one. :) we always share our views freely and i believe..there will be room for discussion...how are we going to set an example for the younger ones coming in ? what kind of a block culture do we want to set...continue? where are we going to go from here?
i'm thinking...and i'm excited for the block :)haaa...but at the same time..nervous..i don't know y. :P
when yb was talking about how block a could chui if all we were focusing on was going to just bring in the so-called best pple..and not the gelling..or the dynamics of the whole block...i felt this fear...somehow..
i do love my block lah. :)
haaa..
hais. and i'm worried about it's future.the more u love something/someone, the more u worry.
