Today I am extremely pissed. Sorry, Toon Wei, I promised to amend the 2020 post, but I am so mad that I need to post this first.
I realized, RI boys are very uncouth, and rude, and very very fucked-up. I’m sorry, but I just have strong feelings about this. When people praise RI boys for being good, etc. etc., they don’t see the ugly, rude and very horrible side of RI – the immature students.
Today RI went down to Delta Sports Complex to support the Hockey finals against Northland Sec, I think. So I was walking around, minding my own business, and then this guy takes my seat originally next to Dean.
So I went and found another seat next to Issac, Lionel and Louis.
So after a while, Northland scored one goal, and RI kept screwing up, that I became rather bored. So I started to talk to Issac about Final Destination 3. When RI lost, Louis cursed Northland Sec’s students to meet a horrible death. So Issac and I started to discuss the methods of horrible death that they could possibly meet in their school.
When we were getting to the dying by being burnt by hot water in the gym shower, this Sec 4 guy next to me turns around, and out of the blue, tells me, “Can you shut the fuck up?”
I was like, huh?
He continued, “Can you shut the fuck up? Can you stop doing your drama, and just shut the fucking hell up? I just want to bash you up you know!” Then he made fists and pointed to me.
I was very very shocked. My friends, David, Eugene, Chee, Ruijun, etc. etc. all suddenly looked at the brawl, which was fast becoming ugly.
I was never going to take this lying down.
I said, “Well, I’m really shocked about some Sec 4s. Some RI boys are just so immature. If they are actually Sec 4s, I’m JC now!”
Issac whispered, “Kar Liang, let it go.”
Oh no, I was not going to let it go. The bastard started it first. Okay, so maybe I spoke a bit too loudly, or maybe I was slightly inconsiderate. So tell it to me nicely, in my face. Something along the lines of, “Hey, you’re speaking a bit too loudly. Could you lower your volume?”
So I would have been slightly unhappy. But I would have shut up considerably. But noooo, he had to yell at me with f-words and threaten to hit me.
I continued, “It’s just the parents. Some children just weren’t born lucky. Issac, let’s keep talking.”
Issac and I continued chatting, then again, the Sec 4 turns around, and growled, “SHUT THE FUCK UP! I really want to grab a stick and whack you you know!”
Then what made me feel even more shocked and aghast, was when one of his friends said, “Bash him up lah! You so strong!” And another goes, “Look! Hockey stick! Hit him lah!”
I was definitely shocked. If I were an outsider, and I heard such language, I would be completely insulted and NOT impressed. I could not believe it. I had met many ppl already in my 15 years of living, the good, for example, Kennedy, Xuan Lang, etc., the bad, Seng Henk, Ryan Chan and Jia Yu… But I had never met anyone as Ugly and DISGUSTING as that Sec 4 and his friends!
I got up and said, “Crap like you are below me.” And I left.
I turned back and I saw the fucking sec 4 PESTERING Issac! He was threatening Issac to give him my name and class. Issac said, “Kar Liang”, but refused to give him my class. I walked over, and said, “Look, you want anything, ask me. Don’t irritate my friends.”
He shoved me and knocked into me, “What;s your name? Class?”
I said boldly, “Kar Liang. 3C.”
He said, “3C eh? You’d better watch out!”
I replied, “I’ll be waiting.”
I turned to leave, and he grabs me by his collar, and spins me around, and looks directly into my eyes. “Who do you think you are?” He asked.
I said, “Bash me up lah.”
If he had really done that, he would have really been dumb. We were surrounded by teachers, Cai Yinghua, Noorizan Alba, Andrew Lim, Seah Saw Phing, and Bob Koh himself. If he had hit me, he would have been gone in an instant.
Smartly enough, he let me go, but he still stood there. I brushed my shirt, turned and left.
He is an RI boy. He’s smart, but he’s very very rude and immature.
“The Man Who Walks Away From A Fight Is The Real Man.” I read this phrase once. How true can that be? I retorted back, and challenged him, but eventually walked away. I had to go back to save Issac and Lionel, but all in all, I think I did a pretty good job. I never once uttered the f-word during the brawl, which actually was quite professional.
How could an RI boy do this? I have seen many types of RI boys. But this happens to be only the first time I see a senior actually being so stupid and immature!
Granted, maybe I was talking loudly. But a simple Keep Quiet, or Shut Up, would have been suffice, even. Not Shut the Fuck up. Why use that phrase? Why must he even speak to someone like that? When he asked me, “Who do you think you are?” I should have replied, “Who do you think YOU are?”
Fine. You’re older. By one year, yes. By right, I should be respecting you and looking up to you as a role model. But no. What he did was not only undeserving of any respect, it only showed how crude he was, and how stupid he looked in front of people.
I was aghast at the rudeness he had. Using physical force to threaten me? That I only heard when I was in primary school, or on TV shows. Maybe neighbourhood schools. But aren’t RI boys supposed to be respectable and morally-upright? Is it morally upright to do such stupid things like using physical force as threats and using vulgarities against someone who is supposedly someone that should look up to you?
I think maybe neigbourhood schools have a better moral sense than this. So you’re RI. So you’re in one of the best schools. So you are a senior. So you are smart. But if you cannot show that you have the moral calibre and fibre to be in RI, then truthfully you do not deserve to be in RI.
Sec 4s. One more year to becoming mature guys in RJC, men who are strong, smart, great leaders, respectable and marvelous people. But I have friends in neighborhood schools that have a better sense of morality than RI boys! What has happened to the students in a school that was once reputed to be the best, academically, physically, mentally and MORALLY?
Is it all gone now? Why is it that such people actually exist in RI? Is it because no one bothers to check? I will say it here right now.
RI students are becoming very very loose in terms of moral education and civic-mindedness. Not that I’m being prejudiced or questionably primed here, but that is a fact. Such students really do not belong in RI, and being in such a school of good repute is truly an insult to the school. These students should remind themselves that they have a reputation to uphold, a name to live up too… and if they want to continue being ‘themselves’, then there IS no reputation anymore for them.
