rules

today i will be talking about rules. recently i was on my way back home from school on the bus when i heard 2 teenagers talking amongst themselves. one of them was eating. the other person told him:" hey, dun eat here lar, later kenna will have to pay money one leh. i no money one hor." the other person told him:" aiya, you think they will ask us to pay fine meh? i just eat a little bit won't die one lar." upon hearing their conversation, i thought that since there is a sign on the bus not to eat, why can't we just follow the rules? besides, it is only just a few minutes away from home. we can just hold on a little bit, and then when we reach home, we can savour the food. rather than being sorry, i would rather be safe.
i shall now talk about an incident that happened to me. there is a link building nearby our house, and me and my friends would play soccer with some malay friends in the link buildings, since the link buidling was rather spacious. although there was a sign telling us not to play soccer, we did not bother about it, because the mentality: we do not care. there was this afternoon where we were playing soccer again, and that time, me and my friends we as usual, having a whale of a time playing soccer when suddenly a police car stopped just in front of the building and two policemen came out of the car. they did some interrogation, and after taking down our particulars, they went off. however, the fright that the policemen gave to us was etched deeply down in my memories. when he left, i remembered the policemen telling me that, as a hwa chong-ian, i should be smart enough to know what is right or wrong and by playing soccer in the link building, the stain left on the walls by the ball mark is counted as vandalism. should they require any renovations, we would have to pay the fines for the repair, and i do not think that this is something that my parents can afford. i shall try to exert self-control on myself and there is a right place for doing the right thing at the right time. we should not let a moment of folly lead us into serious consequences.
i shall conclude today's blog post about rules. rule is such a cumbersome thing, people would say, but can you imagine the world in chaos without rules? can you imagine a school of gangsters and "ah bengs" without school rules? it is rules that makes singapore the place it is now. we should be glad that there are rules, and should not be complaining about strict enforced on us. that will be all for my post. thank you, and we shall say hi soon.
