Harm-many Day
 
The Racial Harmony Day is fast becoming a farce.  Well kind of. Girls exposing midriffs in over sized saris, cutey mules, and the accessories that will make a cow blush with embarrassment.  All they need now is just a little makeup to complement the look.  But then again, after being deprived of the opportunity to dress like themselves during the Youth Day celebrations, the RHD is a elaborate fashion parade for the fashion conscious eager to stamp their fashion sense on the  bewildered school community.  While "bastardising" the culture and the ethnic costume was not one that I will advocated, but the ingenious creativity of the girls was impressive.  Who would expect to see an SIA girl among the ranks of the girls.  You have girls with mini cheongsams which apparently was handed over to them by their primary school sisters or friends.  In a wide array of colours, patterns, size and degrees of modesty, G Armani should have come to IJ for a scouting for the next model to parade his next collection.  While some of the models can pull it off with the different fashions, there are those which ( how should I put it in a non-humiliating way) really CMI with the attire, flabby legs, arms and tummies... Sigh! ( MY EYES!!!!)   
 
Today I truly understand how insensitive or desensitised the girls are especially in the presence of a male teacher.  In various stages of "undress" and "redress" (The saris were either too big or wrapped in a la-ketupat manner/ or in traditional chinese lingo like a rice dumpling)  I should spare the details but all I can say is that  they were totally oblivious about adjusting their attires in the presence of ME!  One unnamed girl from an unnamed class was changing her shorts in the class.  If I am on MC tomorrow, it must be a result of sore eyes!  But then again, the main issue is should I feel that the girls are too comfortable with me or  has the years in IJ having a toll on their awareness that I am a thorn among the roses.  *Shudders*  Should I say that this is the top compliment or greatest humiliation. 
 
Talking about marriages, the marriages between the four members of staff during assembly was a blast!  It was entertaining and most importantly so hilarious!!  Love truly was blind, but so were the pairings which was a total mismatch!  It was a great stress relief to a hectic Wednesday. 
 
Let face it, if everyday would be so funny, then can I have school everyday?? :P
